i welcomed my birthday with heidi, joane and julius. they've been dear friends to me since college and i am thankful for having them in my life since then. they were few of the people who have always been supportive to me and accepted me genuinely. and despite our busy schedules, we never fail to catch up with each other lives. we were supposed to have dinner at grill 99, unfortunately we couldn't locate the place and opted for pizza burgers at didi's. i was happy celebrating my birthday with them, knowing that i would be celebrating more of my birthdays with people like them.
my celebration didn't end there. one of my sister's reasons for homecoming was to be present on my birthday and i'm really glad that she was there. it has become a tradition for my family to celebrate our birthdays with a dinner. we decided to eat out at gerry's grill. it's the first time that i would be paying dinner on my birthday with my own money. hehe... usually my sister in california or my brother in uk sends us money on our birthdays and use that to pay for our dinner.
me and my family at gerry's grill celebrating my 26th year i got an ipod nano 8gb, too! hehe.. it's a gift from my ate manet, kuya mon and ate menchie. actually i was asking for a nikon slr. hehe... but they told me they couldn't afford to buy me one so instead i asked for an ipod. yehey! i've got my whole playlist in my computer transferred to my ipod. on the other hand i got a lovely pair of swarovski dangling earrings from my kuya naph, ate jessa and shey. plus a 300 prepaid load from my aunt. naman... sana palagi birthday ko! hehe....syempre di magpapatalo tatay ko. he gave me money so that i could buy new set of tires for my kia. solve!
i also got a bracelet from joane and a belt from heidi. lastly is my bff's gift to me. she's got her own blogsite and on my birthday she posted this on her blog.
it's my bff's birthday today. i haven't greeted her yet but ill call her tomorrow. it's quite late now and she may be exhausted with her family reunions and all.we've been close close friends for ten years now. she was one of the few people who talked to me genuinely when i was the only one transferred to the first section during our high school sophomore year from the most notorious section our school has ever had. she's one of the most lovable persons i know that's why i didn't get too surprised if a lot of people fell for her. i just wished i could protect her from those bastards who hurt her. we both have strong personalities, and sometimes people tend to overlook that and ignore our feelings. we cry. we get disappointed. we feel empty. we get hurt.we only had two real fights - one was during our hs senior year because of that crazy bitch whose name isn't worth mentioning. the other one was more of a falling out due to a possessive past relationship, who ironically is her friend now. haha! i could not imagine an easy life without her around. who would calm my nerves during my hypochondriac moments? who would speak ill of my ex's who know nothing but become possessive and/or become dependent then later on blame me for being controlling (as in what i want to hear that time and not necessarily her thoughts)? who would pimp me through my crushees? oh i still cant forget what she did during my 16th birthday!!! waaaahhh!!! bottomline is, i am thankful that i got her for a bestfriend. papa jesus is good to me afterall. with all the shemexes all these years, i got by with her love and support. i hope that even if i am physically absent most of time, she can feel that im proud on how she has become and that i always wish her happiness and peace of mind. once in a while i imagine what my life would be like ten, twenty years from now. i've been doing it since i was a teenager. there were realistic and exaggerated fantasies. i may have a mansion in one, or become married to a prince on the other, or become a fisherman's wife on the next one. my romantic attachments or material aspirations may change, but she's always there, together with our trusted hs friends. a constant in my life, whoever i've become. im pretty damn sure that we'll grow old as cool senior citizens bragging to our grand children how we overcame everything watching each other's back.happy birthday emmy!
life's blessings never stop. and i am thankful for another year of these overflowing blessings in my life.
