Birthday

I celebrated my nth birthday this week and just like before, it simply came to pass. How sad. Hehe. As much as I wanted to leave work and celebrate it, I simply cannot do so because of the nature of my work. It was a working day, another ordinary working day just like the rest of the days.

But it was a special one, nevertheless, because my family never failed to greet me. They always make it a point to never forget my special day, including those little kids at home. And for sure, my mother definitely prepared something to celebrate my birthday even if I am far away from home which she used to do all these years.

For the past few years, I also receive a birthday greeting from a love one. Many thanks to her for never missing my special day and for staying by my side.

Anyway, I treat my colleagues the following day because some of them were not around that day. It was just a simple celebration though it was one of those bonding moments for us. It has been a tradition for some of us to celebrate our special day with our love ones together with the people that are part of our everyday existence. And it does not matter how young or old you are. What matters most is our appreciation because we live this long and is being continually blessed by the good Lord.

Well, I missed my mareng Liezel. She used to prepare some food for me during my birthdays for quite some time and kare-kare which is my all time favorite food was always present. I am looking forward to seeing her again in the coming days.



Well, I have had some surprises from my students. Actually, this is the very first time that students prepared something for my birthday. Honestly, I used to keep mum about my birthday but since some of them knew about it, they were kind enough to make me happy this week.



Many thanks to 3ITB (headed by Joey May Eltanal), 3ISA (Mark Amul, Faura Antonio, and Czarine Cagurangan), and the entire 3ITA.

And my appreciation goes likewise to C&E Publishing for extending their efforts to put a smile on my face and warming my heart of their treat.



And lastly, thanks to Facebook. I was able to received lots of greetings that day and even the day after. Thank you guys.
