Happy Birthday Philip

My mommy couldn't wake up for church at 12:00PM, despite her constantly reminding me to go. Ha. It's cousin Philip's Birthday today in the Philippines. Gosh I miss my cousin who'd buy me everything because he kept taxing Chinese people (whom he hates) and thus had more money than he knew what to do with.

My mommy and I went to the Hilton for the all-you-can-eat buffet for the 2nd time ever. We had the same waiter as last time and he recognized us (see entry 12-3-09). I texted Philip:

Hello Philip. Happy Birthday. My mommy and I are eating at a buffet right now to celebrate your Birthday. Really, I just needed an excuse to eat buffet.

He texted back:

Thank you. We are on our way to shangrila hotel to celebrate my birthday. Btw, my mom's cancer had already spread to her lungs and trachea. Pls relay to your mom. Regards to her.

Aw. I ate a lobster, prime rib, lamb, crabs, sushi, sashima, miscellaneous seafood, salad, some fruits and vegetables, and a bunch of desserts. The only tragedy was that they didn't have crepes today. Boo!

I ended the night by watching the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. Celine Deon was cool during the Michael Jackson tribute. Aubrey Graham, or "Drake," will always be Jimmy Brooks from Degrassi to me. And it was awesome how he was rapping with my favorite rapper of all time, Eminem!
