Birthday Dinner

in Daily Blog2 years ago (edited)

Writing this post at 12 am on Tuesday because I know today will have so many things to write about. Today is my cousin’s birthday and she has been preparing for this for so long. She says it has given her anxiety.
I’m sitting with her right now and I wasn’t even the first to wish her. I guess I will do it later when I’m giving her a gift. Lemme leave this post for later.


The day started as usual. My aunt said we should go to a new apartment she has rented to do some cleaning before she finally moves in. We have been doing that for a couple of weeks now.
We stopped by the mall because she wanted to get a gift for my cousin and we waited for her for about 30 minutes.

When we finally got to the apartment, it was already past 1 pm.

We planned to leave there at 3 pm because it takes over an hour to go back home. It’s 5:32 now and we are now leaving. Hungry and tired.


We have to go and get ready for my cousin’s birthday
We got home an hour and 23 minutes later. We were already late or so we thought because my sister called and asked us to hurry up.
So we went in and got dressed and we still had to wait for the birthday girl.

We had made reservations at the restaurant for 8 pm and we left home at 8:40.


arriving at the hotel

When we arrived, two of my cousin’s friends were in already and we waited for a couple more. We were 10 in total.

I was starving cause I only had breakfast so I was eagerly waiting for them to serve the food.


taking pictures whilst waiting for the food

My cousin had stepped out with a friend to take pictures and when she returned, she was surprised with a saxophone performance. She was literally in tears.

They brought the food after a while and we were to serve ourselves.

We began with the appetizer which was salad and some type of spaghetti.

No one really knew what they were eating but we just did something to represent something.

Then we had some fried rice with steak and fish. That was what I was actually able to eat.

For the dessert, we had chocolate cake, a slice of orange and slices of watermelon.


But before we had the dessert, I went to the bathroom to try and get a few pictures of myself else I wouldn’t have anything to put on here.

We spent some time taking pictures and videos of the birthday girl whilst she danced to the tune of the saxophone.

Later came the cake. We took turns in helping her cut it but by then, everyone was already full. We just ate tiny pieces of it and we had to leave because the restaurant was to close at 11 and it was past 11:30pm.

Moreover, my cousin was going with her friends and my sister to the night club to dance away the rest of the night.

They dropped me home with my aunt, got changed again and headed out with the rest of the girls.

This few hours out got me so exhausted because already, being around a lot of people makes me tired. Another fun thing too was that, almost all my cousin’s friends were my friends too. One was a former classmate from junior high and another from senior high school. It was nice seeing them again.

all pictures were taken with my phone

Sort:  

from the pictures you shared it looks like it was a really beautiful party

It really was. We actually didn’t expect it to turn out so well

I also get tired of the presence of many and noisy people, but birthdays are always pleasant events. After all, it is the most important day in a person's life.
The birthday girl looks lovely. (Like any birthday girl. Maybe the same goes for them as it does for brides. 😃) The birthday cake is also great!

Yea the event was really a nice one. It actually made me think that maybe I should go out more often. Even though nothing can beat being by myself peacefully

Hol’ up. You made a reservation at 8 and left when???😂😂😂
You also left after the supposed closing time of the restaurant. You guys violated every time code in their book.😂😂😂

Lol I read the Be Aqua label as Tequila the first time, and I almost started typing a paragraph in response.

Trying to figure out what type of photography the miss who turned her phone upside down was doing though. Shame I won’t be able to see the results.

Why didn’t you go with them though? And don’t let me hear night club doesn’t sound like you.😂

You should have seen how the waitresses were staring at us. They even turned of the AC to hint us that it’s time and we still didn’t mind😂😂

That was my first time of seeing that bottle too. I’ve heard of premium still water but I had never seen. It did taste different.

Well that’s the trend now. According to them, it makes the pictures turn out better

You already know the answer and you are asking again 😂😂

They win best restaurant at politely giving customers hints it’s closing time, and you guys worst customers at taking polite hints😂

That was my first time of seeing that bottle too.

If I didn’t already know Bel Aqua, I’d straight up assume this was alcoholic.

Won’t that just produce an inverted picture though? I mean, it’s just a 180• flip. You’ll get the same result if you just shot a normal picture and flipped it upside down.

But…ladies know photography best so I’ll just go with the flow and try it myself sometime.

I guess I was just hoping you’d have a better excuse.😂

Right. That’s what I’ve always thought but apparently it does some magic. Because I’ve seen a couple of TikTok videos giving those some suggestions

Greetings Hive friend, hey, I'm so glad you were able to celebrate the birthday with your cousin, from what I see you were part of the organization, I'm very pleased to know, according to the pictures she really enjoyed it, that means you did very well, I hope you can be resting after such a nice experience.

Yes. I was very tired after the event. I slept till mid day today. But it was a really great night

I can see you like food very much because you’re always waiting for food to arrive.😂😅

And oh, I wanted to say”birthday girl with the pose.”😅

Why did you hide in the bathroom to get pictures for us. Take pictures in public girlllll.🙃

I won’t lie, that’s what I’m always looking forward to and for some reason, I’m always very hungry on such days

One step at a time. Now I’m working on taking pictures more often. Then I will work on taking them anywhere.😅
But I do take pictures in public. But I only do that with people I’m very comfortable with

Then make sure to eat before you go out next time so you can have fun and forget about the food for a while.😅

I’m always thinking that what if I eat and I’m full. Then I won’t be able to eat a lot over there😂😂😂. Even still, I wasn’t able to eat that much yesterday.

Oh the pictures de3, you’ll see. You will even get tired 😌
