- I started receiving text messages, BBM, FB greetings and Twitter mentions on my phone. I really appreciate it a lot. Their simple birthday greetings made me smile.
- I was really surprised, shocked and touched to the point that I cried (tears of joy) when my High School friend/Barkada, Cat Cura from taft came and visited me in my dorm in España at exactly 12:00am. I really didn't expect that. We have our story telling session with timmy. We also bought fries, spaghetti and coke float in Mcdo for our midnight snacks/mini party. She also gave me this wonderful gift. It really made my day.
Cat also slept in our dorm. I think we slept at 3am in the morning but she also needs to leave early in the morning because she has schoolwork to do and she needs to go home in Tarlac. But that was a fun night with Cat. It started my day with good vibes. I conclude on my mind that this might be a great birthday for me.
- I woke up early to attend mass to thank God for letting me see the 18th year of my Life and luckily it was also a First Friday. But unfortunately, the mass will start at 3pm in the afternoon so I have to wait patiently. I woke up early because I thought there will be a mass at 9am because usually in our college, they are organizing mass when it is First Friday at 9am. I felt really sad about it because I was really excited and eager to hear and attend mass that time and I didn't like the weather at all because it is raining. It's hassle to walk when it is raining. I attended the mass alone and I really felt the it. I'm really glad that the psalmist sang "You Raised me up" by Josh Groban in the Responsorial Psalm part. As the mass was about to end, the priest called all the birthday celebrants for the month of July and August to come in front and then he blessed us all and all of the people inside the church sang a birthday song for us. It really made me smile because I felt so special and it touched my heart. I felt so blessed that time.
- After the mass, I go straight to my dorm and when I reached my room, I found out that there are still no people inside and I'm still alone again (forever alone). I don't know what to do that time because my roommates have still classes. "Grabe, Hinihintay ko ngang may dumating tapos isusurprise ako tapos wala pa rin talagang dumadating." I felt really lonely that time to the point that I just played music and listened to it because I really had nothing to do. I was thinking that time, "Birthday na Birthday ko, mag-isa lang ako dito. Wow ang saya. Walang kausap. Tapos parang naiiyak na ako kasi bakit ganun ang lungkot tapos yung ibang hinihintay ko na bumati di pa din bumabati." I need to wait for my friends especially Timmy (Roommate and a very close friend of mine) because she said that we will go somewhere and I really don't have any idea about where we will go. I bought a dress for that because she said so. I mean, I need to wear dress for that occasion maybe because it's my 18th birthday. And then after that loneliness and sadness that I've experienced. Here's the reason why it is my best, special and worth remembering birthday. Most awaited part.
- Someone rang the doorbell. I was a bit excited to open the door because I was curious who's outside. And then, after opening the door I was shocked and surprise because I saw my classmate forever, Clarissa (She is my college buddy and We're like sisters) and she was holding a cake and has candle on it. I really felt glad and happy about it and of course I cried after that because I was really waiting for her a while ago. I thought that she will not go to see me and greet me.
- After that, I started preparing for our "Date" with Timmy because she will arrive soon. Clar was my "stylish" that day. She is the one who curled my hair and put my make up on. I really don't like putting make up on my face. I don't know why. =))
- When timmy arrived, she said we are about to leave after she fix herself. As I said earlier, I really don't know where we will go. "Ang sinasabi lang niya may pinareserve daw siya na kakainan namin tapos niloloko pa nila ako na, paano kung nandun daw si Enrique Gil" Of Course, I don't believe her. And then, she asked me, Do you have a Big Handkerchief? then I replied, Yes I have. Then, I gave it to her. She said, "Eto yung gagamitin nating pang-blind fold mo" Tapos yun sabi ko ayoko ng mga ganito ganito. And then after that, We went outside the room. We are about to leave then she used the handkerchief to cover up my eyes and then I was thinking why are we going up and not going down. "Tapos yun pinabayaan ko nalang, sabi niya mag-papaalam daw. Tapos hanggang umakyat na kami sa rooftop tapos wala pa din akong makita tapos pagtanggal ko dun sa blindfold, nakita ko may mga tarpaulin tapos parang may party, yung mga college and ibang HS friends ko nandun tapos kumakanta sila ng Happy Birthday tapos ako sobrang saya at hindi ko ineexpect naiiyak nalang talaga ako. Sobrang speechless ko di ko na alam gagawin ko. Tapos pinaupo na nila ako sa upuan tapos sabi nila meron pa daw surprise tapos mag-blindfold daw tapos aun pagtanggal ko ng blindfold grabe nandun yung buong family ko tapos may dala dalang mga flowers at mas lalo pa akong naiiyak. Wala na akong ginawa kung hindi umiyak dahil sa sobrang saya at hindi ko talaga inaasahan. Walang akong idea talaga. Sobrang Wow at speechless ako. Tapos ayun may party pala. Parang "mini debut". Nag-start sa 18 roses tapos 18 cupcakes. Tapos nagulat din ako ang dami ng food. Grabe talaga. Ang sarap sa feeling na simple pero worth remembering talaga yung 18th birthday mo. Sobrang feeling ko sobrang special ko. Sarap sa pakiramdam." No words can't express how happy, grateful and thankful I am that time. I thanked all the people who came and the people who are behind this Birthday surprise especially Timmy. "Siya talaga yung nag-plan ng lahat". And also to my Family, I really didn't expect that they will come in Manila to surprise me and most especially GOD. I would like to thank him for the good weather that he gave us on that day and for all the blessings that I've received. "Sobrang thank you ako sa kanya." Love you Papa God.
It was a blast. =))) BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.
