Birthday Chronicles 2013: Birthday Celebrations

Siguro, isa sa mga looking forward lagi tayo sa ating mga birthday ay ang pagcecelebrate nito. Of course, kailangan maghanda ka kahit simple lang basta masabi mo sa sarili mo that "I survived another year and ready to face the next year with a bang!"

Sa entry na ito, I would like to share how I celebrated the past 3 birthdays (kasi yun na lang ang may picture ako) that I had. Nakakatuwa silang tignan kasi I can also see myself evolving. Kahit 3 years lang. Haha. And I am so cute. :) Lol. And napansin ko lang na that Oreo Cake from Red Ribbon was really my favorite! Hahaha!

2010 - A Big Birthday Bash

And since lumalaki na ako, lumalaki rin ang panga-ngailangan ko sa friends at sa handa. Haha! I can say that this is one of the happiest birthdays. July 11 Sunday ko siya cinelebrate kasi may classes nung birthday ko. Pero my day also became special 'coz my bestfriend Cher, with my close friends Mela and Kathryn surprised me with a birthday cake from Goldilocks. They were the sweetest. I am totally clueless that time. Muntik ko pang mabisto dahil papasok ako dapat ng room but Kathryn stopped me. Hahaha. That was so funny. And that was the first time I experienced a surprise after my 7th birthday. :) Unfortunately, I cannot find the pictures so proceed tayo sa malaking birthday bash ko noon na kasama ang HS Friends ko + My cousins.  :)

High School Friends from IV-Wisdom and IV-Integrity. I miss them. :'>

My cousins and their boyfriends, 2 pairs there are married already.

2010 was the last year that I do not know how to pose for pictures. Hihi.

Baked Tahong = Yum!
 Spaghetti and Chicken = Perfect Combination for every birthday, and I have it every year!

2011 - On for surprises

I guess this year was a blast. I didn't know that my blockmates are up to something. At first, during our Psychology class wherein we had a 15 minute break, a classmate (Cams) called my attention. I wanted sana to go out and buy something from the canteen, but she asked me to stay. We even talked about I am Legend's finale that will air that night. So after that, she set me free and made me watch a video. That was for me pala! :) Then they gave me a bag, it was a Pink bag. It's one of the cutest bags. :)

That day, I also attended mass then after that I had lunch with Yanie and Janna. Then my other friends started texting me kung nasaan ako and everything. Then they came na and OMG, there was my HS Friend Jake holding a cake! So another surprise again! Hahaha. Ang laki na ng ulo ko for lots and lots of surprises! :'> Too bad lang that Jake wasn't allowed to enter the school premises 'coz non-Paulinians aren't allowed beyond the lobby. And guess what, the only picture that I had was with him only! Haha! I hate my blockmates for not taking pictures. Lol. :)

The lone picture that I had. Thanks Jake for coming! Nakakaloka ka! :)
(And those are my things, everything pink. Haha!)

Then after that, my blockmates presented another video for me plus a large birthday card. Thank you so much F4. :) I miss you guys, most especially Maika, Cams (not much coz I see her everyday, classmates pa din kami! Haha!), Yanie, Janna, Angel, April, Tep, Mitch, Viv, Nikka, Chico, Alex, Kricza, Sam and Des and everyone! :)

The next day, JC went sa house and we had a movie marathon, then I celebrated my special day at Shakey's with my HS Friends JC, Abby, Eva, Karol and Mico. Sarah was in Japan, Cher was in a family trip, Kathryn's in...I forgot. Haha. And then I also invited Ate Hannie. She told me she can't come...then nung andun na kami sa Shakey's, she entered the door! I didn't know that she'll be coming talaga! Sweet! :)

Thanks guys for coming! Abby was in uniform pa oh. :)

Thank you Daddy Mico (he's my daddy in school!) for the gift! Sweet!

Thanks JC for spending the rest of the day with me.
Naudlot lang pag watch ng Sukob. Haha.

Thanks for the surprise Ate Hannie, Loveyou bitch!

2012 - Last-Minute Party

I was going through a tough time during this time of year that's why when I had a birthday celebration, the plans were made at the last minute. The day before, I was on the verge of not celebrating my birthday. My friends told me na, "Sigurado ka? Kahit naman Pansit Canton at Coke, okay na!". Good thing my tita-mommy gave in and prepared Spaghetti and Chicken. :) JC, Cher, Sarah, Kath and Eva (late!) came and we even went out to see Daniel Padilla (but went home na rin due to the crowd)!

Girlfriends! Sayang we're not complete!

Ako talaga pinakamaganda. Please that was my birthday so I should be!

So happy to receive Amaya DVDs, the gift that I really requested.

This is what I call my every-birthday-cake. Hahaha!

Then before the day ends, Miss Marnie Lapus, a character actress (now seen in GMA 7's With A Smile as Mama Lena) and whom I have been exchanging tweets with that time and masasabi kong friends talaga kami (ang Feeling Close kaya may "masasabi". Hehe.) tagged me in an Instagram post saying that I'll get a free treat from her sa Empanada Nation in QC. E super fave ko yung Ilocano Empanada. So I was really thankful plus my friends Yish and Badet joined me! Then Ate Bea gave me a Sketch Pad, one of my wishes, and I also had a post-birthday pictorial with Kath! :)

Thank you so much Miss Marnie! :)

Thank you for the gifts!

Yey! Amaya DVDs!

Sketch Pad! :) Hihi. Was able to draw something naman.

That Empanada that I wanted to taste for the longest time! Yum!

Well I guess I successfully achieved this "Here I come" and survived my 17th year - a year full of problems, solutions, opportunities, dreams, good things and positive vibes! And now I am excited for my 18th birthday...as well as the celebration. I guess I'll have a blast this year...I hope. :)
