think rainbows

I just turned 24 last June 25! I can't believe it, it's only 1 year less than what I thought then would be the marrying age for me. Now I don't think about the "marrying age" factor anymore. Will find a boyfriend muna. :))

The reason for the title is, I just finished watching two episodes of Running Man earlier today. Yep, I'm back to my daily routine of watching Running Man. Daebak! Anyway, that's not the main point of this blog entry...I haven't been blogging much again! *sigh* I will try to make up for it; and since the UAAP is almost here, looks like I'll be updating this more often again...yay!

But before that, I'd like to share with you guys something that I've just thought about over the past few days. Today is June 22nd, and in three days I'll be turning 24. I seriously don't feel like I'm 24. Well that's a good thing right? I mean I know I've matured in many aspects and all that but I just don't feel my age. Age is just a number, ain't that what they say?

So once again, just like I always do, I'm pretty much anticipating the day of my birthday. June has always been like one of my favorite months of the year aside from the holidays probably because my birthday falls on June. The excitement level for this month is higher than other months (except the holidays of course), especially when the 20th arrives. I'm just always excited for my birthday. But sometimes I get too excited that I start thinking about the things that are going to happen, or more like I start hoping about the things that are going to happen. I start thinking about who's going to greet me, how they're going to greet me, if I'd ever be receiving gifts, etc. Yes, I think too much, I admit it.

I love surprises, I love giving them, and I'd love to receive one. I always think of ways to surprise friends for their birthday or other events, then I sometimes get the feeling that no one's willing to do it for me. Emo! LOL. Anyway...it's just always been one of my dreams, to be surprised on my birthday, but not to the point that I'm pleading and desperate for one. So I always hope for it whenever June comes, but I just always disappoint myself because it never actually happens. Haha! I almost always tell my friends that I'd love to be surprised. Maybe they just don't get the underlying message it brings: "Surprise me please!!!" But I'm fine with it anyway, whenever my birthday comes and all hopes are not met, at the end of the day I'm still happy, and just look forward to another year of hopeful thoughts and wishes. Still thankful that I get to celebrate another birthday with my family, with my friends, everyone greeting me and remembering me even if it's just for that day. At least I know they're still there.

So now I just wait for my birthday once again, and see what happens. There's not much anticipation this year compared to last year, but I'm still excited for the food. =)) Better not to expect much so as not to disappoint yourself, right?

P.S.
I would also love to receive a bouquet for my birthday and that locket that I still would love to have. =))

Finally it's here! And it's almost over. DAMN.

I imagined a different June 25.

I'm not saying that I'm not happy though. :) I AM. =D I always am whenever it's my birthday, haha.

I just thought it would be different. Happier, maybe.

It only comes once a year, I could only celebrate it once a year, and I always wanted it to be super. But I always don't get it, hahaha! So much for planning things. :)) I need more moolah.

Went to church at 6am. It was raining hard, mom and I got wet, we made it to the church though, but it was already the offertory. At least we made it. I was still able to thank Him.

I slept after, replied to text messages from people greeting me, then woke up at quarter to 10 to get ready for lunch.

Went out with kuya to buy my cake and ice cream. Then lunch with my family which was really fun. :) Super kain and tawanan. =)) *Hahaba pa buhay ko, I got spaghetti, carbonara, and pancit! =))*

Did nothing the whole afternoon,just waited for my high school friends to show up. :)) Jam and Hazel arrived thankfully, and we still had fun. =D Lupit talaga ng girlfriends ko. :))

Unfortunately not everything went as planned. Other invited friends weren't able to come. Other planned activities were cancelled. I wanted to go out, but I had nobody to go out with. =)) It's okay though, can't blame them if they can't make it, but can't blame me either if may konting tampo, right? =)) *Sorry =)) But yeah, this will have to do. =D*

I'm super touched with all the birthday greetings though. Through text, plurk, twitter, facebook, and even personal. I love birthdays. Haha. I got tired with typing "thank you!" to everyone who greeted me over Facebook, but it was super fun. Sana bukas ulit!

Still, I'm happy and thankful for my birthday. It was just a simple day, but still there's something special and different with it. And after this, everything's back to normal. Good luck naman. =))

Thank you Lord for all the blessings. Thank you to everyone in my family, and to all my friends, and to everyone who greeted me. Thank you super! Thanks for remembering!

'Til next year! =))

P.S.
I was expecting someone to greet me, that person hasn't yet, we'll see if that person will remember, or will actually do greet me. =))

P.P.S.
And I got two cakes! =))

So yesterday, everyone had to brave the rains, floods and wind just to be able to get home. Some were even stranded in the offices, some of my officemates included. I was lucky to get a ride going home from one of my officemates, but still had to pass through our flooded street. I had no other choice, it was just only a few steps away anyway, so might as well.

It's still raining today. Hopefully the rain would stop soon, so yesterday won't happen again. And luckily, no one gets stranded, and we'd all be able to go home safe and sound.

Looks like it'll be a rainy birthday weekend.

Thanks for the cake, Alvin. =D

It's tomorrow. Hopefully it'll all still be fun. =)

P.S.
Dapat may department rin for suspension of work days. LOL.
This is the only acceptable rain that won't give you any hassle. You'll even be sayin, more please! =D (Credits to plurk posts by Aja and Cheski. =P)

*this was supposed to be for yesterday, I'm so great that I forgot. =))*

June 15, 2011

15...14...13...12...11...10...

Halfway mark of the halfway month of the year. Kuha mo? =))

It's June! As if it wasn't that obvious. Gusto ko lang i-emphasize. =D

It's one of my favorite months, although it is usually a very rainy month, and I only like rain as long as I'm not commuting. This month's always been special to me, probably because of it being my birthday month. Yes, in 10 days time, i'll be turning a year older. As they say, age is just a number, and I don't feel like I'm.....at all! (Do your own math!)

Other people my age have achieved a lot already, some even have their own families. As for me, I believe I'm just at the beginning. I'm still in the path to self-discovery, and no I did not quote that from some movie or some person. It's a general thought, really. And it's true.

I'm not saying that I haven't achieved anything yet, but I believe I can do so much more, and I want to. They're just waiting to be discovered. It's just a matter of right timing and having the resources to do these things. Whatever they may be, I will be ready. And as my age increments, I kind of start having a different kind of life. Not the Pepito Manaloto different kind of life, but you know, I start doing things I wasn't able to do before, I start making bigger decisions, I start meeting different kinds of people, and I start knowing myself more. I'm still young, and as what adults always tell you, you've got your whole life ahead of you. Marami ka pang kakaining bigas. Marami ka pang madidiscover. Marami ka pang pwedeng gawin.

But still, even though I'm having life changing moments, I'm still me, or that's what I generally think. But there are times too that I don't even know who I am anymore, or I don't know what I want to do anymore. I guess it's all part of the changes. It's all for the better. Confusing lang at times. Makes you think about life in a lot of different perspectives.

And now, about my very special day. I always want to celebrate my birthday and I'm always excited for it. It just happens once a year and it's the only day that people would text you and greet you because it's YOUR day. It's fun! So I just don't get it about people who don't like celebrating their birthdays, or keep their birthdays a secret or whatever. Oh well, people are different.

For this year, I don't know what I'll be doing on that day. If we're going out, or if I'm inviting friends over at our house, or if I'm treating people outside, or it'll be just family, or family and friends. I'm not sure yet, but if possible, I'd love to celebrate it on the day itself with family and friends. Pero kahit iba-ibang araw okay na rin, basta I get to celebrate my birthday with them. If it's possible to squeeze them all in that one day, I would, but I think that's pretty hard, and I wouldn't get to spend much time with each one of them. Sayang kung ganun. So, I just hope that I'd get to celebrate my birthday with them in any way possible and that we'd all have as much fun as possible. (Wait lang guys ha mag-ch-check pa ko ng budget. LOL.)

I'm actually not thinking of a birthday wish list right now. Naks! =)) So mag-u-update na lang ako kapag meron na.

Ay, I know what I like. I'd love a surprise. =D

Ciao for now!

I suddenly realized I haven’t created my birthday blog yet!
*Birthday blog: A blog where one would share how they celebrated their birthday.

June 25, 2010

I woke up feeling normal, like any other ordinary day. But it immediately came to my mind that it’s my birthday! I had to wake up early because we attended the 6am mass, and then we went straight to McDonald’s, I treated my mom and dad to breakfast, and then they dropped me off at the office. Of course they were the first ones who greeted me on my very special day.
I needed to arrive at the office earlier than usual too, because I filed a half day leave, so I had to be able to make it to around 8am so that I could leave the office at 12noon. I arrived around 8:10 I think, and when I arrived at my table, there was this plushy or just his small stuffed toy of wall-e, and a note written ‘Happy Birthday’. I sort of guessed that it was Alvin’s handwriting, and I was right, ha-ha. That was the first surprise of my day, and there was also a small note from Nica, greeting me a happy birthday as well. Then my day went on normally, but with a lot of greetings here and there, text messages, tonic messages, gtalk messages, ym messages, personal messages, and even in tumblr, twitter, plurk, and facebook! Another surprise was Casey’s tumblr post, where she made a picture with Pooh and his friends on it, with a greeting for me. It was really cute! And there was also this video of Pooh, I think that was a talking or singing stuffed toy or something, she said she found it on youtube and decided to share it for me, because I really like Pooh. :)I didn’t have lunch with my officemates anymore, and I went straight home. When I arrived, my dad cooked spaghetti and my mom cooked fried chicken. Those two dishes would never be missed during my birthday, always. And my dad even bought this big rectangular cake with a Happy Birthday greeting for me, and even candles for me to blow! It was really cute, and sweet, and thoughtful. I actually told my dad I wanted a cake, but I was just expecting a chocolate cake or something, and not like this. So before we ate lunch, I made a wish and blew my cake.Then I just spent the afternoon at home, I even slept, and we had dinner at Max’s restaurant. I treated them of course, and we tried the unlimited chicken at Max’s. Then after, I told my mom and dad I wanted to go back to Sitcom, if one of my favorite performers is going to be there. When we checked, he wasn’t there, but I still decided to go and still celebrate my birthday there. And it was a very good decision, because we had so much fun! I think I just laughed all night long until I was in tears because of too much laughter. Those performers are really unbelievable, they’re very entertaining, and yet professional performers.

We had to go home early (yes, 1:30am was early) because we invited guests the next day for a simple party at home, for the celebration of my birthday, and for a sort of despedida for my dad who left last Sunday (June 27). I invited my closest high school friends, college friends, and officemates (sorry I couldn’t invite everyone, hindi ko pa carry, haha!). And of course we invited relatives, and even some of my mom’s friends whom I knew very well. It was supposed to be lunch but my guests started arriving around late afternoon, so it turned out to be merienda. But it was okay, because I was very thankful that they arrived. Even if not everyone whom I invited was able to come, especially with my high school friends, only one was able to come, I still had fun with them, and they came, that’s what’s important. :) Casey also gave me a gift, a Pooh pillow, and Rane gave me a cake from Red Ribbon, and Teng, Francis and Hanami gave me a slice of sans rival with matching candle-blowing. Thank you very much guys! :)

We finished a bit late at night already, and my college friends were the last to leave. Even though we were all tired, and sleepy, of course I still had to entertain them at least. Well I hope they had fun, because I did. :)

Once again, thank you to everyone who greeted me, remembered, and were generous enough to give gifts, and especially those who came last Saturday. This wasn’t the birthday that I was expecting, but it was definitely more fun! Sa uulitin! :D
