But of course, it is a milestone for us so we need to celebrate. This year, we are celebrating our 20 years as a couple and our 17th wedding anniversary. Wow, I can’t imagine na ganoon katagal na pala kami. Since same month ang aming anniversaries, most of the time isahang celebration na lang but since two decades is something special, nagdalawang celebration kami. So how did we celebrate our anniversary?

A few years ago, we had an anniversary celebration at Cafe Ilang Ilang of The Manila Hotel so for our 20th-year couple anniversary, we decided to try a new buffet restaurant. I was searching for hotel promos but couldn’t find anything so I just looked for a budget-friendly buffet. We ended up at Fresh in Solaire, the rate is still expensive but cheaper compared to other hotels that I’ve checked. I will share our buffet experience in a separate post. 

Last year, we celebrated our anniversary at Chateau Hestia so for a change, we decided to have a beach trip in Anilao, Batangas. We only had an overnight stay because this resort is not cheap, parang lahat may bayad compared sa 3 resorts na natry namin in Anilao. Anyway, despite that we still enjoyed our short trip kasi konti lang guests. This deserves a blog post so wait for my review. 

I’m an occasional crafter so I only craft when there is an occasion so this month I made an anniversary card. This is a simple Print and Die-Cut project, for the graphics, I used Romantic Couple Watercolor Collection by Stella Art. I created two cards, para sure na may anniversary card na si hubby for me. Hehehe! “Today we celebrate the best decision you ever made”

We gained a lot of weight last year so I’m trying my best to lose weight by reducing my sweet intake. Knowing me, I love sweets so it is really a struggle. I did not make a big cake topper because I don’t have a plan to buy cake so I just made a small cake topper for cupcakes or bread. Again, it is a Print and Die-Cut project. 

I asked my husband to buy ensaymada na lang for our anniversary. He bought ube and leche flan ensaymada at The Bellevue Hotel. That’s it!
