So whenever Jake celebrates his birthday, he's not into big parties.

He mostly doesn't invite other friends over. Mostly just his family.

He also becomes quite bashful when someone gives him a gift so he never asked for anything.

Since he already knows what's inside the box, there's no element of surprise anymore.

What I came up with are food deliveries in Manila!

Guys, today is October 13th. So I'm 34 years old now.

Joke! I'm only 24. Still young.

We just received something from my beloved.

Here it is, guys. She sent us Surf n' Turf, seafood ingredients.

It comes with a greeting already. Thank you, Surf n' Grill! Shoutout to you!

"Happy 24th!" This proves my age. It also has instructions.

This just arrived. What about this one? Let's check it out.

What it is? Are these mussels?

I didn't open it properly. I think these are mussels.

Yep, looks like it.

Okay. Next up is ...

It's actually hard to take a video with only one hand.

Is this barbeque? I think it's too dark to see. Sorry, guys.

I think barbeque. Or squid?

I think these are all seafood. So maybe squid. There's no label. I'll check it

This one is the biggest so let's open it.

Here it is. We have crabs, shrimp.

Maybe later. I don't think we have rice yet. I'll have to cook it first.

Based on their reviews, it's super delicious and comparable to high-end restaurants.

Hi, guys. The second delivery arrived from Hola Mamita.

Shoutout to them, thank you for the service! We'll check it out.

Okay, guys. We have these new arrivals.

Our main attraction here ... I think it's this one.

What is it? Something with shrimp and pasta.

We'll check it out in a bit. Let's take a peek at the side dishes first.

Ooh, noodles. We also have zucchini noodles

which is healthy according to Alyssa. Then this sauce is Puttanesca Adriano.

I've always wanted to try it even before.

Right? Where else can you find something like that?

The third delivery from Alyssa just arrived. We already have seafood and meat.

The third one is ... Do you want to know? Comment down below what you think it might be.

Yes! Look at us trying something new. Okay, try guessing what the third delivery is and

in a couple of seconds, you'll see it! Okay, guys!

This is the third food delivery! She said she had a roasted pig delivered

but it's just the belly. However, simply the fact that she had one delivered is amazing.

It's still hot. This is where the complications came from when we had it done thru Lalamove.

But, it's all worth it. Still warm even with the 2-hour travel.

It's still good. Looks tasty. We'll take a bite later.

The serving size looked big.

It looked substanstial in size.

But hopefully, he enjoys it and his blood pressure won't shoot up.

Okay, guys. This is the fourth delivery from Alyssa.

Our favorite heroes are here as well. We have Yi Sun Shin, Wan Wan,

Kimmy, Ling, and Hayabusa. There's an added river.

A message is also included.

Wow! I think this size is meant for a wedding, Alyssa.

There is a second cake from her. Thank you, Cakes by Alyanna!

Look at me here, I have bangs and all.

At that time, almost all her custom-made cakes are sold out and soon to run out for October.

So I said, "I need to book this right away."

I saw her Mobile Legends cake.

I inquired right away.

On the character's shirt, you'll see Jake's name.

The heroes behind the character. What's super nice is they allowed me

to choose Jake's favorite heroes.

I picked his most-used and favorite heroes. My plan originally is to buy

only one cake, but I was impressed and charmed by her other cake designs. I said,

"Maybe another one. One more"

Then, I was added on one side.

Since I can't be with them physically, at least I can celebrate in spirit.
