Betchay turns 7 today
Hello guys! I just got home today from attending another birthday celebration. My husband's girl cousin informed me a few weeks ago about her daughter turning 7 on this day. She specifically told me that she will assigned my son's Athan on the 7th blue bills. She asked me if it is okay and I told her no need to worry since her daughter is very special to me. I really adore her daughter because she is so sweet and at the same time I am longing for a baby girl. There was one time that I used to make some felt cloth hairclip and I used to give it to her as a gift. She would always show it to me whenever we visited their place. By the way, this girl cousin of my husband is somehow close to me, she was very nice the first time I met her and she helped me took care of my first born back then. Just that, we move out from my husband's old place and tranferred to my brother in law's new house that is why we got out of touch. Then she got pregnant with her first son, and then after 2 years she conceived another baby which is a girl, now Betchay turns officially 7 today.
The party was held at their house which is the old house of my husband's family. Since no one is living there, my brother in law let them live there together with her kids. It was located in Quezon City. It was a piece of land given to all Veterans soldiers (soldiers who fight in the world war 2) and my husband's grandfather was one of them. It was the place where my husband's family along with his other cousins grew up that is why that place is very special to them.
So this afternoon, around 3 in the afternoon my kids and I went to the jeep terminal that will take us to Don Antonio Commonwealth. Just a few minutes later while we were inside the vehicle the rain poured and it lasted for about 15 to 20 minutes. It was a heavy rain that when we reached the Regalado Street the road was flooded. Ironically after passing the flooded area, on the other side of the road there has been no sign of rain. I was thankful because it means we can go to the celebration without getting wet.
After getting off the jeep, we ride a tricycle that would take us to the exact place. When we reached the place, the small party has started and everyone was already eating. My kids and I went inside the house to greet the celebrant. She was very happy in her pink dress and pink glittered shoes. Oh I just love this girl. She got a lot of visitors but since I was already starving, I didn't mind them and got myself my own plate and started eating. Spaghetti and shanghai was the best. Of course, I asked my kids first to eat before I got mine.
My husband's cousin introduced to me that some of her visitors were her friends, I say hi to them and they smiled back. Then after a while, a relative who is also living in the same compound but right now having a vacation in Abu Dhabi with their sons called to greet the birthday girl. That was my husband's uncle and he was also celebrating his birthday today same as Betchay. Last year we also celebrated their birthday together, but today since they were at Abu Dhabi for many months now, we just greeted him via zoom. They were about to come home by February, but their daughter in law is about to give birth next month to their first grandchild, so his vacation together with his wife was extended.
We sang Betchay the happy birthday song and the kids was enjoying the gathering by eating a lot of candies from loot bags and the pabitin which the kids really love. It was indeed happy celebration and Betchay was all smile all throughout this special day of her. Though her Dada wasn't able to come due to some complication, but I guess it was compensated by all the people who came to greet her a happy birthday. And in order to give her thanks to those people, she entertained us by dancing to some Tiktok mash up and she really dances very well. Way to go baby girl. Tita Yhanne will always root for you. Stay pretty and study hard. Happy birthday Betchay!
