My Birthday Bash
Sunday, May 25, 2008
i. birthday gossipSo how's my 18th birthday like?
Well, its all wrapped up with a lot of issues and controversies.
For a while I thought that the people I'm expecting not to come would live up to their word. They
proved me wrong actually, and I
bleeding love them for that. :} To be honest with you guys, I've been
very very very depressed about my upcoming birthday days before it actually started. Why? Ok, here I tell you.
A girl, M, is ought to celebrate her birthday on the same day as mine. See, her real birthday was on May 21 and celebrating her day on MY day is pretty fine with me as she's gonna be having a traditional debut on a hotel. Seriously, I don't give a fuss about it at all cause like I've said, the whole thing is okaaaay with me and I understand her too, by the way. So yeah, here's the thing. My best friend, K, told me that she won't be able to come at my party because she'll be attending M's as she's a part of M's 18 candles. I was hurt. Things even got worse when guests started backing off because they'll be attending M's too. At this point of time, I'm already devastated. I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me. -beck I mean, of all the guests who can't make it, why them? Don't get me wrong here, I've nothing against M, but it kills me everyday just bearing the thought of her/our/my debut. :[
ii. the par-taaySo much for that, I celebrated my day the simplest way I can for I'm too lazy for an extravagant debut. Could you believe that
I even spared some of time answering some of the questions for our RLE assignment found
here before the actual party. That's how desperate I am in wanting it to be done in as short time as possible. RLE torments really,
NOT. Anyway, the party started at 5:30 at our house when
Kiesha claimed the title of being the earliest bird. lol. Followed by Kamae (K), which really surprised me cause she's the "K" in the gossip part of this entry. Guests started on coming afterwards and every thing's flowing smoothly as the night deepens not until it
rained sooo hard twice that night. Kamae, Juj, & Echan headed to M's debut as the clock strikes 8 but they promised to be back at 1:30 am causing my supposed-to-be-dinner party to be a dinner-slash-slumber party. The party continues after they left. So did they returned at exactly 1am and
bummed (ahhh The joy!) around until the
wee hours of the day. They went home at around 10:30 in the morning. I, for my part, slept at around 11 in the morning until 6 in the evening of May 25th.
Great Day!iii. some deetsA lot of great things happened yesterday but unfortunately, I'm too lazy to write it all here in my blog. So I'll just give you random highlights of yesternight's happenings.
- My friends made a me very big banner sort of tarpaulin for my birthday and I'm sooo embarrassed talaga when they posted it. Cur-razy insane people. But I'm really touch by their effort. Thanks Athena, Pau & Kamae. :}
- Gifts, I received lots! Lemme get clear to you, I'm not much of a material person m'kay? Actually I'm not expecting gifts at all, but since I recieved a lot; allow me specify some of it: Necklace (from my boyfriend, Zab), moral support: 2 set of balloon arrangements (Kamae, juj & echan), Pedicab's Shinji Ilabas mo na ang Helicopter album (Athena), Manix Abrera's Kikomachine vol.4 (Pau), Make-up!! xp (grandma), small pouch bag(diqui), and some moolahs from my rents & relatives, Oh yeah! xp But the best gift I received on my debut so far was a training jacket from Adidas given by my brother, Aden. Its not the jacket actually that made it the "BEST" but its the fact that it came from him. I'm really touched by this simple gesture because my not-so-showy brother gave me a gift on my birthday for the first time. :}
- The foods we're great! :} Everything I requested was there especially my tatay's carbonara and my nanay's juicy fried chicken, which makes guests wanting/craving/coming back for more yyuumy! :))
- My boyfriend was there, of course! Enough said. I love him sooo much. :}
- Athena Wars and I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail, laughing our asses off, while others sleep. We watched it until the sun showed up. Yes, we didn't sleep --such a tandem. Giggles to fun! :}
If in case I forgot to write, which is 100% probable by the way, some of the highlights here; just bear in mind that this party had been a blast, m'kay? :P
iv. like album inlays
I wanna grab this chance to thank all the people who remembered and greeted me on, before or after my birthday. You guys don't have an idea how much it means to me to be greeted on my day. I also would want to extend my gratitude on the following people (in no particular order) who made my day special: my parents (esp. nay) and the rest of our family, the Valero's, Zab, Kamae, Athena, Ten (Pau), Juj, Echan, JCe, Yana, Glenn, Toper, Kiesha, and of course, to Ate Mercy. :} Just like in album inlays, I wanna thank everyone for making me the way I am now. And of course, to God for giving me the strength and for being the Big guy I always cling on to. :}
