I had the most unforgettable day ever!!!  I have to admit that I was giddy like a high school girl who just had her first date.  Because it felt that way, it feels like we're on our first date all over again. KILIG!

Bani took me to lunch at Pieology in Irvine, California.  It's exactly like Project Pie in the Philippines with the same selection but with bigger and tastier crust!  It's more pricey but the taste was extraordinary.

We only ordered one pizza because we knew we were having heavy dinner with his family later that day.  Although next time we visit, I'm definitely getting one for myself.



After lunch, we proceeded to the Great Park Balloon, located also in Irvine. 

This photo can pass as a post-card picture.
Suspended 400 feet up in the air in an orange helium balloon. Ye-yeah! I think we have the same thing in the PH, but the hot air balloon festival only happens every February and expensive if you want to ride one.

Bani said this ride used to be free, but we paid $10 each. Totally not bad for the experience!






After the amazing ride, we watched Ouija at the dollar theatre, located in Irvine as well. It wasn't really a dollar. We paid $4 for the both of us. Again, not bad for a crappy movie. Hey, it was my birthday and I got to pick whatever movie I wanted. I was curious and wanted to feel a different emotion, so yeah, there goes our 1.5 hours. And I must say, their popcorn was divine, I think I'd go to the theatres just for their popcorn. Lol.


We ate dinner at Stonefire Grill with Bani's family. Thanks for the treat Ate Dois and Kuya Jonathan!

With the cutest baby, Kathleen! She's so big now!
The last time I saw them was two years ago.  I wish we took a before-and-after photo so I could compare our heights. Lol.

The next day, Tita Bing, Bani's mom, took me shopping at JCPenney and dinner at Sam Woo Restaurant. Thanks Tita! I finally got the jacket that I've always wanted!

Again, BANI, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL TIME!
