the bright side of things

i have so much to be thankful for! (didn't i say the next blog was positive?!)

on sunday, my husband and i will be celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary! yey!!! no gifts this year. we opted to skip the gift and just stay at the four seasons on saturday night and enjoy several good meals throughout our stay.

i got spoiled during my stay at the beverly wilshire (a four seasons hotel) for my birthday and i wanted paul to experience it too so we decided to celebrate our anniversary the 4 seasons in sf. yesterday, i called the concierge desk for a request...

'i have a question/request. my husband and i attended a wedding there last year where the appetizer that was served was white truffle ravioli. i checked your restaurant's menu but i didn't see it there. do you think we could have that as our entree` for dinner on saturday night? my husband and i are celebrating our anniversary.' i told the concierge.

'do you have the name of the wedding party?', she asked me.

'yes. the groom's name is _____ _____. his wife's name is ______ but i forgot her maiden name. they got married in august 2007,' i replied.

'let me talk to the chef and see what he can do. i have your number, i will call you back shortly.'

a mere 30 mins went by and my phone rang.

'hello ms. almira, the chef said it shouldn't be a problem. it might not be exactly what was served at the wedding but he will do his best to replicate the ravioli. do you have reservations for dinner yet? i can arrange that for you and make sure you get the ravioli for your entree,' said the concierge.

'that's great! thank you very much! dinner on saturday, 630 pm. thanks again!'

four seasons is awesome! i hope they come through and have that ravioli ready for dinner on saturday. super sarap talaga yung ravioli na yon. paul and i wouldn't ask for it if it wasn't so good. 1 year after the wedding we attended, we are still talking about it. =)

God has blessed me with a wonderful husband. very patient to his impatient and moody wife. a doting father to his amazing daughter. he's a good son, good brother, and a good friend. i love you beb!

we are [again] one step closer to purchasing the house we want. the first lender has approved our offer, but the second lender has yet to give their verdict. it takes faith to purchase a house in this current market with so many uncertainties...pero like i said many times before, when the Lord blesses, he will add no sorrow with it. God will provide!!!

o di ba? maraming dapat ipagpasalamat? =)
