02D73: Birthday Escape

 

Friday - Double Birthday Cakes

While I still have the big "official" birthday celebration on Saturday, we still went to O Bar on Thursday night for something a bit more intimate. Saturday is also a big event night as we'll be celebrating the birthday of one of the O Divas and her guests include drag artists who have appeared on past seasons of Drag Race Philippines along with some of her competitors for the current season. So that's going to be a crazy event with a lot going on and a lot of people at the bar for sure.

So we didn't make a big announcement about going on Thursday in the hopes of surprising the performers (which we enjoy doing when we venture to O on Thursdays seemingly at random) and only invited some close friends we knew would probably be free. That resulted in a pretty limited table, but that's fine as I just wanted some quality time at O closer to my actual birthday.

The show still opened with a Kylie number and that nicely set the tone for the night. One friend even brought two more cakes from Keto Filipino, so that brings my current cake count to 5. Four of them came from the same provider, which is probably why they felt they could send me a full banana walnut loaf as a gift from them as well. I'm not complaining - they really are my go-to for keto-friendly sweets. So yeah, I still had cakes that had birthday candles to blow out in between the show sets.

I'm on leave today and doing my best not to overly fuss over some work things, but some things are unavoidable. Some friends will try to come over as early as they can for board games, but that's still contingent on their last work meetings for today and Friday night traffic.

Still a good birthday week thus far.
