The perfect gift for me was to hear what my daughter plans for her future. As much as I wanted my daughter to take on the medical field she instead decided for herself to take up law. Although it's still too early to tell if she's eventually would, I love that she has a take on her future and that she knows exactly what she wants.

It tickles my dad hearing that her grand daughter would take on a profession he so desperately wanted for his children. And loves to hear Kiara say it and brags it to his friends.

Dad: Kiar, what would you to take up in college?

Kiara: I want to take up law.

Dad: Harvard or Yale?

(I quickly interrupted) Janiz: Yale!

Kiara: *frowns* Harvard.

Janiz: But you need a pre-law course here Kiar.

Dad: La Salle.

Kiara: Ateneo.

See, she has decided for herself even before we give out our suggestions. I can't complain because that's exactly what I wanted her to be a strong and independent woman.

Initially I just wanted to hear mass this day but dad insisted on dining out . I looked haggard to the last strand of my hair that day, I thought everyone would be nice enough not to mind but Jason did.

Eating out on my date of birth is a living proof that I've probably been binging out pretty bad in the past decade? I wish to just cut off a little bit of the fat I've stored for the past years, even just for this day, but dad wouldn't want me to. Ha! Lame excuse! Oh well, I had flowers! *grin* I have the sweetest brothers anyone could ever have. Dad of course, he's the sweet genes that got into my brothers DNA. And my daughter is and forever will be my muse.

We had fun stuffing in most of what was on the buffet table. And of course, no family gathering would be complete without the messing around and the photo op. Munching breaks were filled with laughs and playing around so when we've had enough of that, we're ready to raid back to the tables for more food.

Then Kiara and my brother finished off the night with a glass of halo-halo and a hug. *sigh*

Best days are filled with these.
