Belated Birthday (10/1/12)

So, my 25th birthday was celebrated at the Piñón residence the day after my actual birthday, on Monday, October 1st. The plan was set for 6pm, and I arrived 10 minutes late.

Marc-Antony's mom was going to go a poetry reading at UH at 7:30pm.
Marc-Antony insisted that I go as well, and so I did.

Thankfully, I had a great time!
Some things were not so grand, but overall it was great. 

Marc-Antony's mom gave me an original 1985 copy of Sandra Cisneros' novel, "The House On Mango Street," which I got signed by the author/poet.

The event ended at 10pm.

Afterward, there was the "birthday shindig" with the birthday song, chocolate cake and blowing out of the candles.

The ice-cream and the cake were scrumptious together!

The day before (on my actual birthday), Marc-Antony took me to Petite Sweets to get one of every French macaron and a free chocolate-toffee bon bon or cake ball.

Of course, the sweet treats didn't last too long with my sweet tooth.

The "birthday shindig" made me feel special!
I would say it's mostly due to Marc-Antony's mom though, since Marc-Antony is usually pretty thoughtless and doesn't make plans of any kind for us.

Sometimes I question if he even really knows me at all... 
Or maybe it is I that doesn't know him.
