Matt Turns 12

It was an all-boys affair last Saturday as we celebrated Matt's 12th birthday with 9 of his friends from school. They shared a box of a huge 18-inch New York's Finest pizza at Yellow Cab, 2 orders of Calzone, 3 boxes of spicy chicken wings and cans of Sarsi rootbeer. Looking at these pre-teen boys, I remember how little they once were on past birthday parties. They seem to really grow fast, this generation... *Sigh* I hate to admit I'm growing old as fast too. Hahaha!

After an hour or so at Yellow Cab, the group, together with Jerry, proceeded to Netopia for a 2-hour session of internet gaming. It was a good thing that Netopia at Banilad Town Center had a big space. Otherwise, they would have easily filled the place up. Kyle, the youngest in the group, kept gushing at how they enjoyed playing Counterstrike and Need for Speed. He had so much fun with Matt's friends that he plans to have a similar kind of birthday celebration with Matt's friends together with his own set. Hihihi! Boys will always be boys.

Meanwhile, as this was all happening, I was with Mamarazzi at nearby Postrio for some pastry. Jake and his nanny, nurse Cathy kept shuttling between Yellow Cab and Postrio. He had the best of both food outlets, partaking of the ube cake and calzone. Cute!

Hmm, the weather was dreary but it did little to dampen the fun-filled mood of everyone.
