S Kitchen family dinner treat by Tito Jun Valenton & Tita Mona for Lauren & Mama Uni on Lauren’s birthday. πππ£π§π±π·π§π€π₯©π₯π» Thanks a lot, Tito Jun & Tita Mona, for the terrific company & the delectable food! π
We had fun feasting on the delicious international cuisine, such as the Australian beef rump (w/ our fave mint jelly!), seafood, cheese & sushi, the appetizing Filipino specialties, especially the juicy, tender lechon belly, and the yummy, colorful desserts. π₯’π₯©π€π§π£π²ππ±π½οΈπ§ It was also a visual treat to see the fancy chocolate fountain that looks like it came from Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. π« Busog ang mga foodies! πΉ
Wow, the fancy chocolate fountain looks like it came from Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory! π«
We also enjoyed our conversations about life & our family and old stories about our hometown (including the bloopers lol). ππ³β€οΈ It’s inspiring to spend time with relatives like you who value our family & the legacy of our Valenton clan. π³
We love you guys! Meowhugs & prayers from your niece, Lauren, & your cousin, Uni. ππ»π

This post, βS KITCHEN VALENTON FAMILY DINNER ON LAUREN’S BIRTHDAY (FEB. 2019)β, is Part 2 of βLaurenβs Family Birthday 2019β Series.
βWelcome to βLaurenβs Family Birthday 2019β Series! ππππ΄ππΈπ»π€΄π½οΈππππ I will be sharing about my birthday adventures with my awesome family in this series. Thanks to all my amazing & loving fairy godfathers & godmothers β my lolas & lolos, my Mama Uni, my Papa Boy, my titos & titas & the rest of the family in the Philippines, US & Australia β for the unexpected birthday surprises & greetings! π€΄ππΈ I was originally planning to celebrate simply & quietly as usual, but you all made my birthday extra special this year with your unexpected birthday treats, gifts & dates, and more importantly, with your love, your genuine concern for my health & well-being, and your presence. π And through our fun conversations, foodie bonding & crazy moments. π₯€π½οΈπΉ You made a big difference, not just because you cheered me up on my birthday, but also because you lifted up my spirits just when I needed it. Nakakagaan at nakakataba ng puso ang encouragement niyo during this challenging time when I have health concerns & when itβs easy to be discouraged sometimes in spite of my efforts to stay positive. Kaya maraming salamat sa inyong tangible reminders that I am loved by God & by our family. π Mama Uni & I love you guys with a special love. π»β€οΈπ€
Thank you also to everyone, my family & friends, for the birthday greetings & wishes! πππ I appreciate each & every birthday greeting, whether in person or via text, call, video chat or FB/social media. π Kulang lang ng snail mail. π Haha joke, oks lang yun! To be honest, I didnβt really expect many people to greet me kasi I havenβt been that visible or active socially in real life and online for over a year. Plus, I myself havenβt been that good at birthday greetings & remembering special occasions lately lol. π So I appreciate na you didnβt take it to heart. Salamat sa inyong pagbati! β€οΈ I will do my best to reply to each & every birthday greeting & message gradually. βοΈ
And of course, thank you to Jesus for another year & for my life & the lives of the people (& the cats!) around me. π The Lord is teaching me to value each new year & each new day now more than ever. And thatβs a good thing, because I now savor each new day & each new experience more and more. π³ Yung food though ay di na kailangang ituro sa aking i-savor kasi matagal ko nang sina-savor lol. π
We love you all! π Birthday & burpday meowhugs from Lauren, Mama Uni & Cutie the Cat. π€ππ»β€οΈπβ
