MY 23rd BIRTHDAY TURNED OUT TO BE EXTRA SPECIAL. THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

Hi.

My birthday has already ended but the smile on my face has not been erased yet. I still look like this: ^_____^ Kiddin’.

I started my day by hearing the Holy Mass. at 5:30AM. I was already in the church at 5AM with only a few people (like 10?). Haha. As part of the homily, the priest shared,

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

When you have something, it’s for you not to keep it but to share it with others. That’s what I’m doing.

When I came back from the church, my mom gave me her gift…

…a huge glass I’ve been dreaming of. Hahaha! It may sound mababaw but I always wanted to have this (actually, the set of 6, hehe). Great thing my mom still has a good memory, she didn’t miss it. Hihi :p

Before I left home for work (yes, I went to work even if it’s my birthday, why not?), my boyfriend sent me a link to this video on Youtube.

Yes, it’s really sweet…<3 After I watched it, I found him outside our house with the gift box and a box of cake in his hands. He kissed and greeted me “Happy Birthday”. :’)

I came to the office 9 minutes late, unfortunately, but the reason was worth it :D

Everyone greeted me at the office. One of my officemates even handed me this birthday card that really made me smile…

My immediate supervisor also gave me a pair of cute beaded bracelets wrapped in a paper box she made before I left :)

Got home around 6:30PM. My mom and I had some picture-taking moments: blowing of candles and slicing of cake. Hihi.

I was excited to open my boyfriend’s gift to me. He gave me an Ozaki iMini Cute and a Triple Chocolate Cake roll. Both I told him I wanted to have for n times :’)

After planning for a loooong time, finally, I, together with my milk tea buddies (Soph, Dimple and Franz) and PJ, was able to experience milk tea in the newly-opened Moonleaf Tea Shop in Marikina (in front of OLOPSC). This served as my birthday treat to them. 

I missed this. Wintermelon Milk Tea with Pearls is L-O-V-E.<3

Gifts from them! Animal prints, they know I love.♥

Right after the milk tea party, I went to a friend’s house as he was asking me to “help” him make another movie for an important person in his life. Then, I knew there was a surprised birthday party for me from my Eco-DMT family :)

If you’re my friend on Facebook, you may view all the pictures here.

IT WAS INDEED A WONDERFUL DAY FULL OF BLESSINGS.

Let me use this blog post to thank everyone for all the birthday greetings (through SMS, phone call, IM, tweets, Wall posts), prayers, wishes and gifts. I am very much glad to know that there are a lot of people who truly love me.<3<3<3

Walang na-grant sa kahit anong item sa birthday wishlist ko, pero if you’re gonna ask me, “Musta birthday?” I’ll still say, “MASAYA. Sobrang saya… dahil sa kanila.” ♥

To my family, boyfriend, Eco-DMT family, relatives, friends, officemates and everyone, you just made a good deed ─ you made one soul happy. MY soul.

Secret to a happy life: Just make God your bestest friend, and you’ll never have to worry about anything.

Love,

Anj ♥
