Appreciating April

Did April feel so looong for you the same way it felt to me? For a moment there it actually felt like my birthmonth was never going to end, but hey, I just wanted to make a quick monthly recap post before I completely welcome the merry month of May ;)

This month, I:

turned 26 • received a beautiful birthday bouquet • felt birthday love from all over the world • went to a spontaneous swimming party • got a wonderful surprise from my oldest and closest friends • walked barefoot around Greenbelt • watched The Cranberries in Manila and got disappointed they didn't play my favorite song • watched Titanic in 3D 15 years after it was first shown • witnessed two beautiful weddings and realized that true love still exists in this world of fastfood and smartphones • personalized a burger • celebrated my fifth year with HSBC • said goodbye to Picnik and said hello to PicMonkey • watched The Avengers and wished Iron Man is mine • reunited with my SYC 2004 co-delegates and laughed at our photos from seven years ago • watched Vertical Horizon's concert and felt more than satisfied that they played my favorite song

got a very pretty retro-style dress from Tomato as a birthday gift from Angel.
With me in the photo is Ana who also got the same dress, in blue :)

got a Mockingjay ring with a sweet note as a birthday gift from Anagon Collection

had a catching-up date with my friend Ed where we made our own annual ritual, a la the Trilogy episode of
How I Met Your Mother 

got relieved from the summer heat via large servings of halo-halo from Razon's
as Mommy Arnz's treat to me and Mich

got Chocolate Truffle'd at Gelatissimo

got Chocate'd and Nuttela'd at (again) Gelatissimo
(those buy one-get one vouchers included with the cinema tickets in TriNoma are very indulgent heehee)

indulged my sweet tooth (yet again) at PenPen's Resto after the Vertical Horizon concert and got this
Leche Flan with Tsokolate. Delicioso!

saw a 2 for P399.75 deal at SM Department Store and got these two pairs of Solemate by Parisian flats
for me and my sister :)

got my shortest pixie cut yet

April was packed! Now I can't wait to see what May has in store for me ♥
