Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well!
Birthday is one the celebration we are looking forward every year. Foods will always be present in celebrating birthdays together with family, friends, colleagues and relatives. It makes the celebration more enjoyable, fun, happy, memorable and meaningful especially when full of surprises and treats from our love ones.
Speaking of birthdays and surprises, I will share right now the birthday surprise and treat for Kuya Lito. While my cousins are still here in Cebu, our dearly sponsor ate Elena, the sister of Kuya Lito contacted me that she gonna treat and surprise her brother for his birthday celebration. Actually, the birthday of kuya Lito is 5th of September, Monday. But, we celebrated his birthday a day before because everyone are available on Sunday 4th of September. I don't have work on Sundays so I can be their tour guide again and accompany them. While Sherri don't have class review that day. So, we are all available Sunday.
Before Sunday came, ate Elena called me to tour my cousins here in Cebu. She asked me how much would it cost if we gonna tour some of the the tourist spots here in Cebu. When I computed the expenses for 5 persons seems to be a huge amount. Then, kuya Gary suggested to just spend the money for foods. I suggested Vikings the one of the buffet restaurant in SM City Cebu that offers different kinds of international and Filipino cuisines. So, ate Elena agreed and decided to surprise and treat her brother's birthday at the Vikings.
Sunday, 4 September comes........
Before 11am, I arrived at the hotel where my cousins stayed. I told them to prepare and freshen up their selves as we are going to SM City. When everyone is ready, we ride a taxi and headed to SM City.
We arrived at SM city few minutes before 12 noon.
We go directly to the Vikings restaurant because everyone feels hungry already. 😁 As we enter Vikings, I am the one who talked to the counter officer. To be honest, it's my first time also to experience Vikings. Thanks to ate Elena for the treat.
Anyways, as I talked to the counter officer, I told her that we are four who gonna dine and we have one birthday celebrant. The counter officer asked me the date of Kuya Lito's birthday. I answered her, it will be on tomorrow Monday. Then, she told me that in order to avail their promo which is 4+1, we need to be four adults who gonna dine plus one free birthday celebrant that will makes us five persons in all if dining on the birth month. While if dining on the day of birthday is 1+1 promo which is one adult person plus one birthday celebrant. Since, we are only four persons we gonna pay the regular price. So, kuya Gary call a friend to join us in celebrating kuya Lito's birthday at Vikings for us to avail the 4+1 promo. At least we were able to treat a friend by paying same price amount. 😀
As we availed the 4+1 promo, the counter officer gives our table number while our friend will just follow us. Then, one of the staff accompany us inside to our table. Sad to say, the table number was already occupied. So, the staff look around to check for another vacant table.
While the staff is looking for our table, kuya Lito seems to be excited and happy as he knows already that we will be celebrating his birthday at the Vikings restaurant. 😁
It is a blessing in disguise that the table number that the counter officer gives us was already taken. Because, we were able to occupy the best location table in the center. 😀 We are just near to the food counters. It's an easy access to get foods. 😁 And we started getting foods from different food counters. Whatever foods we want to eat we can get it as much as we want. 😁
When we already have the foods in our table, we started our sumptuous lunch. Oops! Before we forgot it's selfie time even the mouth is full. 😁😁
We asked favor from one of the staff to take us a picture. 🤗
While we are eating, the birthday song been played for the birthday celebrants who dine at the Vikings. The highlights of the management appreciation to their birthday celebrants customers are their dancing staff. Our table is the perfect location and Kuya Lito's seat is perfect corner as the dancing staff can be seen at his back.
It is really obvious how it makes Kuya Lito so happy.
You can watch video below for you to see the dancing Vikings staffs. Hope you enjoy watching. 😀
When our plates becomes empty, we keep on getting foods at the food counters as there are lots of foods to taste.😀
While we having a good time with our foods, I saw some staff distributing complimentary cakes to birthday celebrants. But, we haven't received one in our table. So, I call the attention of the manager who is roaming around. He asked what he can help and I respectfully told him that we didn't received a complimentary cake for our celebrant. He then asked me the name of the birthday celebrant and in just a minute he is back in our table handed is the complimentary cake with the name of Kuya Lito written in the plate. 🤗 Thanks to the kind manager. ❤️
One of the staff come to our table to light the candle as I am singing a happy birthday song to Kuya Lito. I am the only one singing because Kuya Gary and Sherri are both shy to sing even I am not a singer.
After an hour, our friend arrived and joined us. He missed the dancing Vikings staff and the cake candle blowing of Kuya Lito.😁 But, he still joined us eating and they drink some beers.
While Sherri and I keeps on getting foods we want to eat.😁
Around 2pm, one of the staff approached us and reminds us that the end of the meal is 2:30pm only. 😁 We still keeps on eating even we feel our tummy is full. 😁😁 We only finished the foods available in our table. Then, I paid our bill.
Before we exit the restaurant, we saw a booth where birthday celebrant could take a picture. So, I did tell kuya Lito to take a pose for a moment. 😀
Then, we go out the restaurant. We are so full actually! Thanks to our generous sponsor and to Vikings for the delectable, tasty and yummy foods. 😀
That's was an awesome Sunday for an advanced birthday surprise and treat to Kuya Lito. 😀
Have a Blessed Sunday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖
Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!
Be grateful in every little/simple things and you'll find happiness you ever wanted! 😀😀😀
Everyday is worth to be grateful of!
Praying for the safety and wellness of all.
Heal Our Land Oh God!
