♥ @28 ♥

Yayy!!  I’m 28!  Hahaha!  Sorry for this long overdue birthday blog.  :D

Woke up at 5AM and started my day with an early 6AM mass.  Of course, the first greeters are mama, siblings, sis in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunties and uncles.

Thrown up a Chowking birthday lunch treat at work.   I hope Chowking made us full and recharged our work fuel that day.  You re one of my joys in life, both professionally and personally.  Thank you for the friendships that make work life fun and happy.

Dinner date with my sfc household at salt n’ pepper:  nay eve, jayma, jo, jean, kat, kitty, malou.  Early bird si bunso. Hehehe!  Late comers sila nay, sissies malou and kath.  Thanks for the flowers and cake with balloons!  But of course, not to forget the most expensive wallet gift.  Ang yayaman nyo talaga!  Hahaha! Effort to the highest level  kayo!  Hahaha!  Thank you! Mahal ko kayo :)

Thank you for the flowers  sis malou and bro cosme!  I loved it!  Ganda talaga.. :) 
   

Lastly, for the beautiful and emotional birthday card piled up with personal messages handwritten by you all – priceless! ♥  The last time I received something like this was college years pa.  For some, it might seem so simple but this is one of the things I really loved the most.  Just thinking of how people took time to write personalized messages for you always put a BIG smile on my face.   It was indeed a special day for me but you all made it extra, extra, extra special.  I thank Him for sending  over precious gifts and blessings through my household – pamilyang B! :)

At home, I cooked pasta and fried chicken over the weekend.  I invited RJ, mami Cheche and cousin Mila to join the food tasting.  Hahaha! Thank you for the visit and gifts too! :) Love you RJ, mami Cheche, and ate Mila.  It was a well-spent weekend food feast.  

 My birthday wouldn’t be complete without pigging out with these two old age friends, Amy and Archie.  Hahaha! They were like a family to me.  Thank you guys for always finding time for me even if I can’t be with you too often.  I appreciate the love, care, and friendship that no matter how busy we are, we still stick together.  You guys are simply the best! Thank you! :)  (P.S. Missin’ gigay and mama glads :D)

Thank you for all the birthday greetings and wishes received – bbm, sms, fb, phone calls, emails. How I wished I could post all of them:

God sends people who will somehow inspire you to be a better person and will appreciate you at your weakest.  I’m grateful because I have these people.  These people are YOU!
