My birthday last year was a blast! I invited all my girlfriends and even my ex (who’s also a very good friend of ours) to come celebrate my 28th birthday with Brownman Revival at Hard Rock Cafe. Afterwards, Peter even organized a surprise birthday hoopla for me back at our presidential suite at the Mandarin, complete with confetti, cake, drinks and even balloons and birthday hats!!! There were even rose petals scattered in the bedroom leading to the bathtub for some kinky, steamy sexcapades afterwards, hehehe.

Anyway,
it’s not that I wanted to beat that this year (that was Peter’s best
birthday present for me ever! Nothing can beat that!) but I just want
something different, fun and out of town. I already celebrated my
birthday with my family the previous weekend at Isla Verde and I really
had a blast. Unfortunately, I ended up catching a fever afterwards (due
to fatigue from all the trips and late nights, hehehe) and now, I
just want to celebrate it with my friends and favorite band (again!).
So I checked up Brownman Revival’s
schedule and the moment I saw that they’ll be in Baguio for the
Panagbenga Festival, I didn’t have second thoughts. I immediately texted
all my friends hoping that they’d come with me and Peter as I fully
celebrate my 29th year here on earth. 
Vina,
Francis, Ninette, Anmarie, Vangie, Jem, Koryn and Mer confirmed. We
will just be meeting up with Michelle and Joan in Baguio since they will
be leaving a day earlier. As soon as possible, I bought bus tickets
for all of us. Departure was at 10:15 pm, Feb 23, Friday. Unluckily,
Vina and Francis didn’t make it on time and Jem just barely made it.
Nevertheless, we were on the road by 10:20 pm and slept through the
entire trip.
We
reached Baguio at around 4:30 am. Ninette booked us an apartment room
to stay over until we check in at our hotel by 2pm. However, being the
nomads that we are, Mer, Koryn, Jem, Peter and I started our tour that
dawn while Ninette, Anmarie and Vangie decided to rest instead…
At
around 5:30 am, Session Road wasn’t that crowded yet. We headed to
Pizza Volante to grab some breakfast, and had our tummies filled with
coffee, eggs and pancakes.
