A royalty dinner - Burj Al Arab.
A couple of
months back I was staring at the ceiling wishing that it would give me an
answer on how to make someone happy on his birthday. The fact that it is
Ramadan season, I can't think of a party and big surprises. It gave me a
hard time especially when it is for someone who deserves a good treat.
Then a
picture of the greatest Burj Al
Arab came in to my mind. Whoah! That's it! It
gave me a positive sign that it will be the best surprise - a conversation
while we were in Ferrari World:
Riggi: Darling, at last we are here.
Me: Why?
Riggi: This is one of my
dream to visit here in Dubai and two more left the Burj Al Arab and Burj
Khalifa.
I pressed
his hands and I gave him a very good smile indicating that soon you will visit
Burj Al Arab.
July 22, I
was on my pen and my favorite planning blue booklet. I called up one of
their restaurants and had our reservations. It is a dinner for his post
birthday celebration on a Thursday night, 16th August. The hotel is the
only 7star hotel in the whole world and is consistently voted as the world's
most luxurious hotel. It is the world's 4th tallest hotel and it is
located on an island of reclaimed land meters offshore of the beach.

Way back
when I was college day, I used to watch national geographic just to have a
glimpse with this superb structure. I was awe inspired of it's
beauty. I saw how they have planned and reclaimed the beach and turned it
to this wonderful 7star hotel. It was my dream back then to come and see
it myself. I've been since 2007 but I never had the urge to be
there. I don't know why by then.. I think this is the best time to
go with someone who truly cares for me.
Back to the
main topic, now I am confused whether I am blogging about the hotel or the
birthday celebrant (lol).
Riggi,
Alatch, iggiR, pooh or Darling, whatever it is.... I simply want him to
be happy like how he made me happy each day. As he said one step at a
time. We had a very simple birthday celebration last August 14 which we
only have one special guest, Kuya Kim (he is one of our trusted friend).

Today 16th
of August, he doesn't have any idea where I will bring him. Sorry,
correction 'coz I think the best word is LEAD him 'coz he will be the one who
will drive his car. I really don't know what to do and how to make this a
special one until now 12 noon and I just came from 12hours night shift (with no
sleep at all for almost 24hours) and we have to be there at 6 in the
evening. All he know is I have a surprise for him and he has to wear a
smart casual attire (part of the hotel's policy). I hope I can take a
video of his reaction. And by the way, he is very supportive with my
plans as he bought a nice pair of smart jeans and a long sleeve polo
shirt. Hhmmm... He
must be excited!! Sorry
Riggi for revealing this.
I just had
an awesome dinner and he was surprised!! He was like, Are you sure we are
going inside?(with all smiles on his face). The place was superb,
it is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off the interiors.
Here's to recap the night:

I hope I made
his birthday a memorable one.
To my dear
Riggi,
You have
always encouraged me to discover something within me that is far better than
the circumstances. You have always
inspired me to be a better me. I love
you for helping me in what I have become today.
Love,
M xo
