Today marks as the day when the most amazing and strongest woman that I had ever met was born. The woman who did her very best for me to be legally introduced in this world. The woman who I treated as my forever best friend, Mama.

And, on the next day? The first man who loved, cherished, and accepted me wholeheartedly had first seen the world, Papa. He may not be that perfect but I'll never trade him for anyone else.

Happiest birthday, our parents! ✨

I started my day in noise.cash through a morning post greeting my Mama on her special day.

This day, she turned 38 while Papa will add 1 on his current age of 42, tomorrow. Similar to what we used to do before, we will celebrate their birthdays on the same day and that was today, 06.05.2022. Why? To save money, time, and energy.

Last year, we aren't able to have even a single food present on their special day. Our financial status that time was really tight that we rather buy our viand than to cook a birthday present. But since we can breathe in a little this days, financially? Let's do this.

Actually, we are just aiming to at least have spaghetti on our table. We need to be thrifty ey~ but apparently, Mama's boss requested for a classic Filipino pancit. So, okay. We'll add that on the list, but it's Mama's turn to buy all the needed ingredients since I assigned myself on spaghetti and cake.

For this day, here's what we had on our table:

• Filipino spaghetti, pancit, and creamy soup (sopas);

• Puto; and

• Goldilocks' chocolate overload roll cake.

But, guess what? We don't spend that much of money in order to have these all. How? We have here some sponsors. Yes, sponsors.

Mama's boss has this videoke-for-rent business and so she let Mama to use it for free, all-day. Another one is Mama's closest friend who gave her 1 kilo of pancit and Papa's boss on the bakery made 2-bilao of puto for him. And, in here? We had pancit and puto.

Meanwhile, I initiated to shoulder the ingredients for spaghetti. I already bought some last 06.03.2022 when I did the grocery shopping but I bought additional ingredients this morning coz kulang daw.

And of course, here comes a cake! No one knows that I'll buy this coz I and Mama took apart this morning. Since I am tag-hirap these days, I just chose a roll cake worth of PhP 322.00 (6.09 USD) from Goldilocks.

We got home around 11:15AM and we immediately did the preparations. These tasks had made me occupied but still managed to do my side hustles~ I need to retrieve back what I had spent. I do believe to @Laurenceuuuu's "earn from your expenses." 🙌🏻

Fast forward ...

After almost 5-hours of preparations and all, here are Mama and Papa's birthday presents (handa).

More so, here's the roll cake that I bought from Goldilocks:

Of course, before the eating session, picture taking must be done first. And, here's one of Mama's photos. Look at that smile, so beautiful. Right?

Today, I may spend money but those smiles from my parents' faces? It's so worth it. 💜
