arigatous...

celebrating birthdays in-style here in japan means preparing food, usually dinner, for every filipino friends around. simple the event may sound but definitely not to the one who'll be preparing everything, in most cases, the celebrant. so when it was me who had to do the job, i made sure i enlisted my friends' help before i hit the kitchen. :)

our preparation started way too late. i planned it to be early, really... but as what should be expected from our usual fridays, the supposedly early morning gising for that saturday [dday] turned to be 1230pm! so just imagine my panic attack since i told everybody that dinner will be served by 7 and that barely two hours before our grocery time i still couldn't decide what to prepare :O good thing, jo, bin and che's minds become creative when it comes to food, my initial plan of two-course meal became five!:D

since drew's place is huge [compare it to our's it is definitely huge], it is always the default choice for venue of all higashi celebrants. i know he should be asking for venue fee but bless the goodness of his heart [naks sipsip! sa uulitin!], he doesn't and cooks for the celebrant pa! so there in shonandai we peeled potatoes and carrots, chopped onions and garlic, talop-ed the pina, diced the mangoes as fast and as skillful as we could. :D

to these great people who made my bday feast possible... jo and che for the refreshing icy fruity delight...drew for his first yummy maja...bin for the crispy tilapya...che for the vegetable soup and jo again for the chicken jo :P...my big doumo arigatou goes out for you guys!!!

as for those who did not have the chance to attend... here's something to make you drool... :D
