Happy Birthday Bernard!

Today is Bernard's birthday but last night, at around 12 MN we surprised him at his house, bearing a cake, pancit, fried chicken, egg sandwich and jugs of iced tea.

So when we arrived from work last night, I immediately baked the cake which turned into a disaster. Good thing there were candies around the house, so I just covered the ruined part with candies. LOL

Then Liz cooked the pancit and fried the chicken wings while Sharie mixed the filling for the egg sandwich. We finished everything at around 11 PM and then the eight of us (Me, Sharie, Liz, Anna, Mark, Alge, Maybel ang Loribel) all trooped towards Bernard's house.

We put on the candles on the cake and lighted them, then Mark knocked on the door. After several minutes of knocking and the candles melting, Bernard was not answering the door still. So Anna called him up and told him to go out for a while.

It took him ages to go out so Liz and Alge put out the candles on the cake first. But the moment they blew it off, Bernard attempted to open his front door. So Anna had to grab it so he cannot open it, while Liz, Sharie and Alge attempted to light the candles again.

After a few minutes, the candles were all lighted again, but when we attempted to open the door it was locked! At first, Alge, Liz and Anna thought Bernard got upset. But he opened it a few moments later. He later explained that he was just in his boxers when he first opened the door. So when he saw that there were a lot of us outside, he changed into shorts and shirt.

Then we all entered his house, greeted him, ate midnight snacks, talked and laughed and took pictures and then left again after 45 minutes because all of us had to work early the next morning.

The whole surprise thing was planned by Liz. It was a fun night, even though Sharie and I were very drowsy already coz we've been up for 24 hours already.
