January birthday celebrations

Praise the Lord for another year for us all to hurdle. We pray dear God that You will give us a prosperous and bountiful one, good health, and assistance to our temporal needs most especially to our birthday celebrators.

And speaking of birthdays, Felicia “Tata” Y. recently celebrated her birthday at The Tapas, a restaurant cum dancing place at Newport, CA. Some 25 friends and relatives, led by Gerry and Fiza Du, attended her birthday party. The Tapas, a Spanish resto-bar, has a live band and Flamenco dancers, who entertain diners for an hour. The house specialties are paella, cocido and other Spanish dishes. After dinner, a Salsa instructor would teach customers how to dance the Salsa. Tata’s CIC classmates were in dancing fever as well as her officemates. Would you believe they all went home four o’clock the next morning!

Quote of the day: “It’s not the presence of someone that brings meaning to LIFE, but the way that someone touches your heart that gives life a beautiful meaning.”
