My Birthday Bash (With tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls, we slept)

It’s official I am now a year older than before. Waaaahhhhhh!

I always feel powerful whenever it’s my birthday. Most people would do whatever I request from them since most of them don’t have a gift..hehe and all they could do is provide me with whatever insane (not really that insane as u may think) thing I want. Hehe! I recently asked a lot of my friends to get together and help me with all the preparations for my big day. Though it has always been like that everytime a member of our circle of friends would celebrate anything.

I would assign one for the decoration, one for marketing, one for the cooking and setting up of the venue. I actually thought that my celebration wouldn’t pull through because of the sooo many things I had in mine. It’s like I usually questioned my capacity to put up such a huge party like that. You just had to consider so many things not to mention it was my first time to prepare quite a celebration ever.

I was totally wrong; all my friends were all supportive of me. From the smallest details to the most complicated ones. I was completely touched by their concerned and how they were involved with everything. Blows me away!

It was a last minute decision that is why I didn’t have the time to invite quite a lot of people.

I am sooo thankful that everything went well. It was a bit awkward at first because we were few, although some of the early birds were busy with the videoke and enjoying each other’s company. But I eventually got past it.

I was actually feeling sad because I sooo much wanted all my close friends to be together and the dinner might not push through because of the freakin’ show at the embassy. But hell no, for me it was a very successful celebration. I never would have thought everyone would be there and supported me all the way and everyone seems to be in a great mood.

You guys are worthy to mention. I could never thank you enough!

To Rommel & Allan; for the food preparation; for being the Ysabella’s and masters of the kitchen, enduring all the heat as much as you could. I was floored. I could not have done it all without you guys.

To Anita & Poch; for accompanying me with the marketing. With a limited budget, you two made it look easy and squeezed everything all up.

To Vil; once again you amazed me with your talent in arts. Wow! The decoration and design was done creatively. It just made the pictures looked more perfect! Thank you!

Time really flies so fast. I am now 31. I may not be in the calendar next year anymore, but I’m proud of it. It just makes me get old all worth it.

Finally, I thanked God for giving me everything.

With tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls, we slept!
