I have to admit, my parents leaving abroad right before my birthday made me feel a bit down. I'm not mad at them or anything. Maybe I just really got used to them laying things out for me on my birthday these past few years. Well I guess it comes with the fact that I already am working and they really don't need to worry about things like these anymore. Nevertheless, before bringing my mom to the airport, I hinted to her that I wanted to meet up with my friends that night. Apparently my brother luis was sick and needed some monitoring. My mom then told me to make my friends come over instead. Poof, instant dinner celebration at home :)
Well it was the usual dinner tambay on my birthday. I guess except for the rockband and the drinks+kwentuhan with Tina, Casey and Ian after everyone went home, my birthday was pretty typical. HAHA.
the oh-so-delicious gelato cake thanks to Ms. Fatima Han!
my college barkada - been celebrating with them for the past 3 years :)

my best friends Jin and John - been celebrating with them ever since I was a kid. kidding!
(missing in action because she's in Hong Kong - Marjee)
As always, I had a blast on my birthday. After all, I'm not all too particular about doing something extreme on my birthday. As long as I'm with my peeps, I'd be happy.
Thank you to everyone who remembered. Thank you Facebook for reminding everyone of my birthday and making me feel special. Dati kasi sa text ka mag-aabang ng greeting, ngayon sa facebook na lang. HAHA.
Now seriously, I'm just so thankful that I've been so blessed all my life. Heck, I have the best parents ever. Brothers to look out for. The best friends in the world. The best college friends in the world. A home to live in. Diplomas from the blue school which I'm ever so supportive of. A diploma and an award from the premier state university. A job in a multinational advertising agency. The best set of officemates. A boss who wants us to learn and become experts. A possible stint at teaching. And several more opportunities to grow.
Having the time of my life at 22. Just priceless. :)
