My day!

Last Thursday was one of my memorable birthdays ever. My pre-birthday wish was fulfilled, which was to have a children's party. I was really really happy! It's one of the days I'll never forget.

Even months before my birthday, I've already been thinking throwing a party in school. And even before I worked in Remnant, I really wanted to have a children's party. But luckily, I was given the job as a school nurse, so having a children's party is not that impossible at all.

But there was one problem. After the Christmas vacation, I only had maybe around 800 pesos as my salary because I didn't go to work for two weeks to enjoy the holidays. So I was thinking, how can I have a grand party if I didn't have the money? I really prayed so hard for a blessing to arrive days before my birthday so that I can prepare.

So a week before my birthday, I sent Tita Jude a message and gave her some recent updates about the happenings in our lives, about my work, etc. And I really jumped out of joy when I read her reply. She sent me money as a birthday present. I was totally relieved. I told myself, "Now, I can make it happen!".

A week before my birthday, I was busy looking for some food to prepare in school, and at the same time, working on my budget. I didn't care if I'm gonna spend all of the money that Tita Jude sent me. For me, it was more than money. It was creating another moment to remember. And so, finally, I was ready.

Even days before my birthday, my dear students were already greeting me, and giving me balloons. I was really touched. They're very sweet. Who could resist those little darlings? :)

And so, my birthday came. Wearing my beautiful dress and boots, I went to work with a big smile on my face.When I arrived, the whole school greeted me. Every one whom I came across with, greeted me a Happy Birthday! I felt really special on that day. Before lunch, the parents and teachers helped me prepare the food. And after singing the birthday song, making a birthday wish and blowing my birthday candles, we distributed the food to all of the students. Everyone was invited to my party since there was a lot of food. After that, many students gave me a birthday card which they personally made. Some of them gave me a present. And T.Fred,T.Clyde,and T.Murphy gave me two bottles of wine. Oh, even Seoyoung, who was my student before, sent me a birthday package which I received a day before my birthday. She gave me a birthday card, two pair of really cute socks and a hairpin.

After work, the three boys drove me home. Then, Ate bought me a chocolate cake.

Even my facebook wall was flooded with birthday greetings from all of the people close to my heart. The day after my birthday, some students gave me letters and one parent even made a blueberry cheesecake for me. It was really soooo delicious! My dear pareng Kaye also gave me a box of crema de fruta.

It was really one of my most unforgettable birthdays ever. I felt all the love in the world. I'm so thankful to everyone who made me really special and feel appreciated during that day. I would always relive those moments. Even my students' messages on their birthday cards that they gave me made me teary-eyed. It feels so good knowing how much they love me as much as I love them. I'm truly blessed to have all these people around me who love and care for me.

As I've said in my status post in Facebook, I really Thank the Lord for another year that He has given me to continue living, loving and learning.

I'm ready to face another year in my life. Whatever challenges are there, I know I'm ready to face them all.

Gosh. But I still can't believe I'm already 23. Coz it seems like, I'm stuck with my teenage years. Hahahaha ^_^

Anyway, age is just a number right?. :D
