turning 21 ain't so bad

wooow. it's been a while since my last blog! haha. well, if you're taking up 18 units, 15 of those are stat subjects, mahirap nga naman talaga maghanap ng oras para makapagblog nang may sense.

that means i'll be posting consecutive ones over the next few days. ang dami lang talagang nangyari over the past month na hindi ko pwede palagpasin.

well, as the title of this entry tells you, 2 weeks ago, i turned 21. the big 2-1. a man's debut. the day i become legal in most countries. the day i become 2-4 years older than most UP students. batchmates included. hahaha.

well, it was the day i celebrate all the blessings i've received for the past year. specially those i received just recently.

my birthday fell on a saturday this time. sadly, i had class. but hey, it was stat 192.1. no problem there. :)

i was actually late for my 9-12 class. haha. ma'am cla greeted my 'Goooood morning! when i entered late. classic. but when it was time for our 10-minute break, my friends told ma'am cla that it was my birthday! so everyone in class greeted me and ma'am cla even teased me "o san kakain yung class after?" haha.

right after, i went on to help out Casey at the finish line for this year's stat amazing race. went home right after to rest up and wait for carla to arrive manilaaaa. :))

went to mass with carla at the church near her condo. then went to my place na for dinner. when we arrived, wala pa friends ko. kaya ayun. i basically introduced her to my immediate family and some cousins. :) may kinabahan!!! :P wuhoo! another milestone for us! :)

ayun, nagdatingan na rin ang ilan sa aking mga minamahal na kaibigan. nauna sina casey at ian. tas sina ba, han at tina.

as tradition, my dad led the prayer and dinner was served!

then fay, nikko and gege finally arrived.

wuhoo. the kiddos staying at the dining table and everyone else outside :P

my bestfriends went too! duh, obligasyon nila sakin yun. we weren't complete though. nevertheless, they finally met Carla. wuhoo! :)

i quote, "so carla, ano naman nagustuhan mo kay Tonico?" -JP

walang hiya kayo. :))

asar talo pa ko kasi pinakita ni casey yung mr and ms stat video. :))

benta pa kina marj yung dulce de leche syrup! :) it's always nice when people who know a lot about food appreciate what you serve. :)

it was another fun chill night.

carla went home early though because she had to go back to bataan. super thaaaaanks >:D<

PS3 galore din :) Han beat Ian and Ba in NBA 2k9 :)) benta! tas Ian and Casey spent extended hours as we went on to have a mini-tournament. :))

some thoughts on my birthday.
1. han casey and ian = champion sa dinner. ilang rounds kayo?
2. mikko boy and mic, sayang dami ninyo nanaman namiss.
3. wala nakakatawa lang tong pic na to.

4. nung sinabi kong hindi namin ka-batch si nikko at fay, sabi ng magulang ko "mukha nga."

5. tinanong ni papa, "kumusta naman si tonico sa school?" sabi ni han, "nakakainis po ang galing." sabi ni papa, "natutulog pa rin ba sa klase?". almost everyone, "opo!!!"
6. dati Wii galore. ngayon PS3 na. asenso.
7. ang daming sasakyan nung bday ko. :)) dati rati, carpooling. ngayon kanya kanya na.
8. everyone's getting old! :))
9. i have a new adidas jacket!!! wuhoo!!! thanks to carla >:D<
10. it's just amazing how a lot of things can happen in a span of one year. now, i am happy once again. :)

whew. it's always great having your closest friends around when you celebrate your birthday. specially when your special someone went all the way from bataan just for your birthday. couldn't be more thankful.

thanks to my parents for holding another dinner for me. when you think about it, this could very well be my last birthday sa ilalim ng puder nila. (sorry, di ko matranslate! haha) next year baka ako na ang gagastos and all. patay.

thank you sa lahat ng bumati! mapa-old friend ka man o new friend, salamat! really appreciate it. receiving text messages from everyone on your birthday never gets old!

sa mga hindi pa bumabati, pwede pang humabol! :)) don't worry, i don't take it personal.
