Happy Birthday Badong!
Alfred/Dodong turned 34 on June 8. We had dinner at Viking’s at the MOA with his parents and his big brother (his eldest brother lives in Malaysia with his family). I must really have lost a bit of my tummy kasi just like people at work, the complimented me for looking better after the operation. The boyfriend still isn’t convinced though. Hah!
He had to make reservations a week in advance just to be sure we’d be seated in time for a 7PM dinner. Ang daming tao, and at least 20 people siguro were birthday celebrants. He didn’t want the crew to sing him the birthday song but we told him he can’t avail of the free birthday dinner without it. 🙂
I didn’t eat much. I only had a plate of salmon sashimi instead of the usual 2 or 3! That’s what happens when you’re not used to eating so much anymore. And when you have your monthly period. Ugh.
After dinner, we headed to his cousin’s in Sta. Cruz for a booze fest. I only had a glass of rhum cola because I was the designated driver, but the birthday boy got a lot to drink. He would have bought his kuya’s PS3 on the spot if I wasn’t there to stop him, LOL. Let’s get a LED TV first, before a console. Haha! Then we have to shop for premier TV mounts too, and then get Move, but not before getting the new shelves+workstation setup first. Hmm…
Last year we kicked off his birthday week at Wil’s Steaktown. Then we had a flat tire en route to his birthday celebration in his kuya’s Pasay bar. This year’s event went without any hitch. He was even welcomed with fireworks as soon as we stepped off the car outside Vikings. 🙂
His 33rd year was a good one, this next one could only be better. Happy birthday babe!

that must have been a blast of a celebration – food and booze fests for the birthday boy and his guests 🙂

Vikings still has a lot of people since it opened? It was hard to get a reservation there.

He’s also a Gemini. 🙂 Happy birthday to him! You really had a blast. I was thinking of arranging a surprise party for bf too on his birthday there but I got a lot of feedback that it’s difficult to make a reservation. Is it?

Viking’s really is the best for birthday celebrants. Such great value for money. I went there for my last birthday, but made sure to leave when I saw all the singing waiters making their rounds. Haha!
Happy birthday to your BF. 🙂

Sayang naman you didn’t maximize the buffet spread. I’m sure the birthday boy had a blast.

been so curious about vikings. there’s one here at SM The Block and I have always wanted to try but I honestly have no idea how. Do we have to make a reservation or just walk in? Do they allow babies? As in sorry, maybe I was under the rock for so long I have no idea how to dine in a buffet like Vikings. Hihi! Anyway, that seems like a nice celebration! Happy birthday to your bf. 🙂

Hi sis! I agree with all the compliments you got! You looks so fresh and “maaliwalas” on that photo. Maybe you were able to have that much needed rest after the operation.
Happy Birthday to your better half! The dinner looks awesome! 🙂

A friend also recommended Viking’s when we were in Manila. But d namin na try coz it was Holy Week. I’ll keep the restaurant in mind on our next homecoming. Happy Birthday to your Babe! 🙂

Thank you, in his behalf 🙂 You really should give it a shot when you get back, ang sarap! hehe.
June 16, 2013 @ 10:18 am
Thank you, fresh nga daw sabi ng cousin ko. I hope i can maintain it kahit na balik stress na sa work. 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:23 am
When we went to Vikings at The Block we had no reservations, walk in lang. Nagkataon nakapasok na yung first wave of people and there was immediately a table available for just two so hindi na kami naghintay sa pila.
On Badong’s birthday, he made a reservation sa MOA a week before. That was a good thing kasi 6 kami and we wanted to have dinner promptly at 7pm. 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:25 am
Dito kasi sa bahay medyo we’re trying to have healthier meals kaya siguro naumpisahan na ang pagbawas. I hope masustain. Ahh, plus ang bilis ko mapagod and pawisan since I started walking so that probably helped. thank you! 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:35 am
He did! Specially because this year turned out without any hitch. hehe 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:37 am
Haha, ang daya! We really insisted he get sang to, as in tinawag pa namin yung mga waiters para bumalik sa table. 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:38 am
I just I hope I don’t jinx it! Ganun kasi ako eh, umpisa lang lagi. This time I really hope it will be different. 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:39 am
It’s not hard, just make a reservation ahead of time. Boyfriend called it in a week ahead. Mahirap lang pag same day na. 🙂
June 16, 2013 @ 10:40 am
Yup, the novelty hasn’t worn off. Kung sabagay, kahit Yakimix pinipilahan pa rin until now eh.

Belated happy birthday to your BF…that was a very nice dinner. It’s also true about what you said regarding eating. The stomach capacity seems to adjust and it is possible to reduce the eating capacity. Me, I feel like I would pass out sa eat-all-you-can buffet hehehe. It just doesn’t feel right anymore to eat until my stomach would burst.
