Double Birthday Celebration

August is a very special day for me and my sister because it's our mama's birthday and this year I have asked a niece to join my mom's birthday and her mom's (actually my 1st degree cousin) birthday celebration to be celebrated together, so as you know both our families are close.

We decided to go on a beach birthday outing. It is not a very big event but we assure of a memorable one. Since I am busy my cousin scout for the place and she decided that we go to Anda de Boracay and then East Coast.

Anda de Boracay is not the place we expect it to be. It is like a residential lot turned beach resort so the place is small and the beach they use is the public beach. The place is structurally nice and the infinity pool looks great. There room ranges from 1500-4000 pesos. They have a restau-bar and a small activity area. Our birthday celebrants did not like the place that much so we opted to go directly to East Coast White Sand Resort hoping that the place will be okay.

East Coast turned out to be our paradise for that day. Our birthday celebrants enjoyed the pool as much as we did. They have a clean shore and the beach is perfect. My mom is not a fan of the beach but in East Coast she is like a mermaid.

We enjoyed the delicious food in the beach, we ordered buttered fried praws, tinulang manok, calamares (all time favorite) and grilled fish. We brought 2 birthday cakes for our celebrants.

At the end of the day everyone had so much fun. let me thank my babe for bringing along his friends that makes the outing a lot more fun, we hope to have you next time.

Of course can we left mama Nit at home? of course not, mama Nit is also around. Papa Jun was not able to come because of joint pain and aunty Ner cannot leave the tindahan (negosyante much).

Again happy birthday mama and ate Maridel. The four of us (me, Marella, Geeneza and Maitha) are proud to be your daughters and we are thankful to have you both as our mom. Thank you for all the love, care and support. All our wish for the both of you is good health always. We Love you.

Happy Birthday Mama and ate Maridel
