A Simple 73rd B-day For My Mom

My mom celebrated her 73rd B-day yesterday and we only did it at home since she was not feeling well so do I and my daughter.  We just called my brother to come over instead of the lunch out we were suppose to have.

We were suppose to have a lunch B-day with a food delivery from Max Fried Chicken, I placed my orders at 10am hoping it will be here by lunch time.  But it was a failure, the rider that was suppose to deliver our food was being lazy and uhmm stoopid.  He only called after an hour and a half of “going around” just a block away from our place.  He was already mentioning the landmarks so close to us I even have to go to the landmark just to meet the delivery guy, imagine how inconvenient that was.  I went back and forth for 30 minutes to that place he said he was at but I did not see a Max Fried Chicken delivery rider.

We are already starving and I was deeply annoyed so I called off the order. I was fuming mad because it was more than 2 hours already.  Even if the rider get her five minutes after that the food is no longer hot and the desert no longer cold.  No way!  They called back twice asking if the rider was there even if I canceled already and I said no.  They even informed me that the rider will have to pay for the undelivered goods just to get to my soft side.  But it didn’t work since it was the riders fault for not getting in touch as soon as possible and for not being there at the landmark he said he was at.

Anyway, instead of a lunch it was a 3PM merienda.  I had to go to the mall instead and buy my moms request of Max Fried Chicken.  It only took me 30 minutes round trip to get the food, compared to that more than 2 hours delayed delivery like what the heck!

I got us some Max Fried Chicken spring chicken the best chicken ever I believe,  lechon kawali, chopseuy, fried lumpia and some buko pandan.  I also got this Dulce de Leche cake from Red Ribbon.  No shot of the food since everyone was hungry as soon as I had the food on the table my brother and my nephew,  niece  and daughter all sat and ate.  Can’t blame them we were all hungry!

Mom was happy, that’s what’s important.  Sis called overseas and sang with her friends in Dubai a Happy Birthday.  Simple birthday just us.
