I had an early birthday celebration with my family and friends last 12th. We ate in my favorite Japanese restaurant called Sushi Zen. I made a blog post about this amazing restaurant. If it has a branch close to your place, it is worth checking, I promise. I felt like I had the whole restaurant for my party because everyone else (including Spiderman yep, he came to my party ahhah!) were all clapping and singing Happy birthday to me! Ofcourse I danced  (I'm not gonna go on any details how I danced ahha! *embarrassed). There were flickering dancing lights and I was dressed up with the green funky shades and a pink funny birthday hat. I got free mochis too! Ah! It was worth it. =)

Then we went cosmic bowling until midnight! =). Me and 2 of of my friends won in the raffle draws. We got lucky! It was a heck of a night to remember.

My nephews: Makaiel (left), and Matthew (right), with my brother in law Marvin. This was taken Sunday after mass. I worked the night before so I haven't had slept in the day but I tried to and been awake for like 26 hours just to spend Sunday with them =). We also ate in Goldilocks for lunch after that. It was a nice treat!

Then my special day came. It was the 15th and I had a date =). We stayed in a nice historical villa where we spent 2 days at Palm Springs. This photo was taken somewhere in downtown while we were walking. All the stores, restaurants, mall, spas, and gift shops are very convenient.

And since I still have my $10 gift certificate from Cheesecake Factory, I was so happy to use it for my birthday! =) I had my favorite strawberry cheesecake for free! Yey! This photo was taken from Rancho Mirage.

I had the best delicious breakfast ever! =D

We went to a couple of nice places too. I had my Epicuren facial treatment (which I haven't had for years now). People kept on saying how my face glows after that! Hahha. I think the lovely lady put like 20 layers of treatment on my skin! They treat me very well. And I never felt so much relaxed and rejuvenated. Guess yelp was right. Salon 199 is one of the best spa salon in town!

After that, I surprised my date on the famous Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. It is the world's largest rotating tramway which will take you on a 2 mile aerial trip on top of the mountain. Then we went to play (actually just him ahha!) on Morongo Casino and went strolling on the Cabazon outlet.

I had a blast on my birthday (s)? ahhahh! And I am glad I could share them with you. =)

Happy Halloween! =) Yes. He is a baby pumpkin.
