We celebrated my best friends birthday...June 14, 2010, her mom, my Ninang Tess, threw a birthday dinner for her at Mesa in Greenbelt 5. Food was overflowing, just how Ken would do it during her birthdays. It was a fun night. We shared stories about Ken and was just simply enjoying each others company.
Last year, we celebrated her birthday too in Greenbelt 5, I didn't expect that would
be the last time I'd celebrate her birthday with her. Ken loved parties, she enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. I remember last year when we had dinner in Thai Patio, she was so full of life then, never a dull moment when you're with her. She even was teasing her mom... asking her daughter Alexi to tell Lola that she's married and with 3 kids and to tell Lola that she can go home already. Her mom would always be by her side wherever she went. And so I can just imagine how difficult it is for Ninang Tess to lose her unica hija.June 15, 2010, her actual birthday, Junjun, Ken's wonderful husband, threw a simple get together for her in their home in Makati. We started off with a mass. It felt good to be there at that time, I can feel her presence. She was for sure celebrating her birthday with us. After the mass, lunch was served. As always, the food was great.
Ken loved good food...she would always know where to get the best Gyoza or beef stew, even pasta or cake. She was actually our food guru giving us reviews on where to eat or what dish to try next.
I miss my best friend. I miss her terribly. Though I know she's happy, watching all us from up there.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEN!
Love you always!
