Birthday Pressies 2023

June is here, half year is already gone and, just like that, I celebrated another birthday. Being a year older doesn't make me too happy but, I did have a very happy birthday weekend celebrating with my friends and family. I'm glad to have people around me who, in a way, remind me that age is just a number.

Anyway, as every year, I'm going to show you the pressies I receive this year. They are not going to be in a particular order and I won't go into much detail cuz I might share some of them in separate posts. So, let's do this!

I'm going to start with my cakes, they're too cute not to show:

The Blast cake was a chocolate cake by Chez Moi Reposteria and the pink, sakura one was a pancake like cake, filled with blueberries made by my sister. 

Now, let's move on to the non-edible pressies~

Dusty rose backpack. It is a medium backpack that comes with a small pouch and many compartments. I really love the color, especially because most of my bags are light pink. I think i'll be able to carry a lot in it.

Husbandos! We have a pretty cool Sasuke figure from S.H.Figuarts, he comes with different faces and hand positions to make different poses. Also, a super cute Tomioka Charamaru Mascot Badge. He's adorable!

Nana manga volumes 10, 11 and 12 ♡

I decided to put these goodies together in one pic. We have nail polish, a cute pink eraser and, some anime stickers.

Since I moved, I love to receive things for my house. I wanted these holographic glasses for a while now and I finally got them. They are really big and very 90s!

I think this M&Ms mug represents me 100%
"I don't want to be an adult today"

The holographic glasses also came with this organization baskets in pink.

As for clothes and accessories, I receive this funny yet cute tee that says: "At least my cat loves me", a really nice watch and super adorable bunny earrings.  

Close up to the earrings.

I rarely receive flowers so, it's exciting everytime I do. This baby bouquet of gardenias smelled soooo good!

Some yummies! We all know food, especially desserts and sweets, can always make me happy.

Some pressies from my students. They also gave me cookies but, I couldn't take a pic, we ate them all.

There you have it guys, my bday pressies this year. As always, I want to thank everyone who took the time to be with me or send me a mensaje and make my bday a special one.

🎂 My Happy Birthday + Pressies 🎁

A little late but, here's my bday post...

On June 03rd I celebrated another birthday, and even tho it was still a pandemic birthday in a way, it didn't feel like it.

My birthday was on Friday (yay!) but I started celebrating on Thursday, when my friend Diana took me to this cute and cozy coffee place when we had a break between work and a certification thing we recently started. It was a good way to relax, chat for a bit and recharge energy for the rest of the day.

She got me a Sailor Misato cappuccino

On Friday I woke up to a cute birthday breakfast table with a mini chocolate cake, pressies and a crown that my mom prepped for me then, my students surprised me with lots of pressies, flowers and hugs. Everything was pink! Haha, they know me too well. After work I had lunch with my mom and sister at Starbucks, we all know Starbucks is my happy place. Saturday I also had lunch with the family to celebrate with my dad cuz his bday was on the 6th. And then, on sunday, my friends threw a Sailor Moon party for me! I never had a SM party before so, it was perfect. 

Pressies from my students!

some of the bday cakes

Since I moved a few months ago, I told my friends and family they could give me some house stuff if they wanted to. Some of them did, some of them didn't but, I still loved everything I received. Specially because I know the love and time behind everything. Let's take a look at the pressies... (some of the snacks are gone now).

Bread! Those cupcakes where the leftover ones. One of my student's moms made like 10 huge strawberry muffins for me to share with the kids. 

More pink yummies! Haha. I love it when people include notes and letters to my pressies.

I can't remember the last time I had Pepero! Really excited to eat them as well as trying the Taro gummies.

チョコレート, Puchao cola chewy candy and my love, Kim Hyun Joong. I remember trying the puchao chewies a couple of years ago when my friend Tomi sent me a package from Japan. The cola ones are SO GOOD! I need more. 

I also receive some clothes. How cute is the cat tee?

Accessories and another letter ♡. Btw, it is my first time seeing SM earrings like these. So cute!

I don't receive roses often so these were such a nice, sweet surprise! 

Some beauty goodies! Sheet mask and cleansing foam from Tony Moly and a really cute perfume. It has a sweet scent, just the way I like them.

Starting with the house stuff, we have this super cute white and pink set that includes a salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowls with spoons, a napkin holder, a jar and a container. I love the gold details! 

I have a Waffle maker now! I'm really looking forward to using it because... I love waffles! The Halloween lover in me can't wait to make some skull waffles that will be, specially perfect, in October.

A pink rug! I am in love! It is the softest and prettiest one! And, it matches perfectly with my sofa.

Some of you might have seen this one already cuz it arrived earlier because I didn't have one. My powerful T-fal blender!

Naruto goodies from one of my students! They know me too well. Sakura is a redhead here because he said it was me in Sakura version. The Team 7 pic has a letter on the back.

And there you have it guys, my obligatory bday pressies post. All in all, I had a great 4 day bday celebration. I'm very thankful for all the messages, hugs, pressies and just the love people showed me. I really am spoiled.

2nd Pandemic Birthday + Pressies 2021

 It's June so yeah, a birthday pressies post is coming~

This year my birthday was on Thursday, which is one of my busiest days. Especially now with the end of the school year around the corner. Lots of paperwork... and well, there's still a pandemic out there.

But that didn't stop me from having a happy birthday. Starting with all the sweet messages I woke up to. My mom and sister set the table with breakfast and pressies, and at work, my students showed me their love personally and virtually.

In the afternoon I recieved more pressies from friends and even my boss, including an amazing surprise cake from Chez Moi Reposteria.

Choco-mint cake!

The rest of my day was packed with classes so we had yummy lunch at home including my favs: Pizza, (another) cake and potato wedges (forgot to take pics). After that it was all about work, hehe.

And now, it's time to show you the pressies in no particular order.

The sakura tea cup was filled with kawaii chocolate

Lots of sakura goodies!!! 🌸

What's left of the chocolate...

This year I didn't have one cake... I HAD 3! And yeah, I loved them all.

It was a simple yet happy and meaningful day. ♡

The next day my mom took me out for lunch to continue celebrating. 

Big thanks to everyone who made my birthday a special one, virtually and personally. This last year of my life has been good and full of changes. I'm looking forward to see what the new one will brings!
