26 yo (celebration)

Big deal?

Of course! Never did a day celebrating another year of this blessed life just passes by. How did it go?

Monday (November 30): Lunch with my parents and brother. Missing my ate, kuya jd and Kitoy, of course. Spa with Mommy and Paulo. My parents with Dwight chose to spend the holiday with Gail’s family for a swimming get together.

Tuesday (December 1): Supposed to have dinner date with my brother, Dwight. Pero ndi natuloy. He chose to push through with a previously planned dinner with Gail and Tita Shiela and other friends.

Wednesday (December 2): Went home early from office. I was looking forward to a dinner date with my parents which I already have asked from them that Monday. When I got home, they were at Gail’s condo unit. We ended up eating dinner with Gail and her family. Nag-bless si papa ng unit ni Gail. Doon nauwi ang dinner date. alam na pala nila they’ll be spending the night sa 1902. Parang walang nakaalala sa request ko that I be able to spend time with them. Natulog lang sila after dinner and then past 12 midnight na kami nag-Baclaran.

Thursday (December 3): Dinner with Earl and Zeena. At least this time, inuna naman ako. We talked about dinner with friends the next day. Time for myself.

Friday (December 4): Truly a birthday eve. Invited friends over for dinner: earl, zeena, justy, winston, maizie, lorena, jason, rona, chito, andrei, raquel, corrine, jordan, mona, jayric, ia, and ramil. Justy, Lorena and I cooked. Nagkulang ang food so I had to have pizza and pasta delivered. Ramil brought a cake for me. Buti na lang. Nakawish ako. Hehe! Earl, Justy, Winston and Ramil welcomed my birthday with me.

Late na kami umuwi (morning na pala). Kaya napagalitan ako.:’(

Saturday (December 5):Supposed to be my day but got so busy with Diane’s wedding. Happy to be of help. Except nakakainis ang mga mahahaderang ninang nya. Arranged stuff for the church ceremony. Co-hosted the reception with Jomai. Buti nagjive kahit papano. Never fails naman kami ni Jom. Haha! He treated us to coffee. Sabi nya treat nya daw kasi birthday ko pero feeling ko treat nya din kasi manager na sya. Woohoo! Marie, Jab, Kahrs and Erbie went to our house to sleepover at uminom. Mamsy and mama oma prepared dinner. Nagstay na din highschool friends to have a little drink. Natuwa ako kasi nagjive din high school and college friends. Jomai stayed until almost 4 in the morning (sabik sa tao). Hehehe!

Sunday (December 6): Most awaited. Time with my family. My treat (supposedly)! A lot of other issues. I cant tell here, it may reach people concerned. Cannot, for now. I’ll keep it to myself muna. Mahirap na. Bottomline: ako pa daw ang walang gana. Ako pa ang walang energy for them. Please refer above (from Monday-Wednesday). Well, what’s FAMILY TIME? Issues?! Wala (labas sa ilong)! All I wanted was a little time with my family. And I rest my case.

My birthday? Hmmm… it was a lot better last year. But generally, it went well. At least better than an ordinary day. And realizations? Have a lot… Now that I am 26 yo.

Happy Birthday, Bene!

You have been one person who showed me there are really things worth keeping despite the difficulty and the process one has to go through. You have been one person who made me realize that there are really things that one can delineate. You have allowed me to realize what is genuine despite its artificial look (a flower clay, if you remember). You have taught me to just say “words are not enough” if my heart is overwhelmed with so much but can still get a good point across. You have also taught me to keep it silent for a moment as time has its own way of fixing things.

You were created for me for that purpose, along with all others. I am grateful you remain and we remain. I pray that you have all that your heart desires according to how HE has written your life.

Bene, could not let this day past without greeting you. As when words are not enough…

MARCOS F. DELA CRUZ, JR.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I planned something grand for this post. but it was to no avail… for words are not enough. I never really know how to get my heart’s content across. Thus, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT A COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND GOD FOR YOU.

I am still a friend and you remain the person my heart desires to keep. It weakens me and breaks my heart to see you and could not even come up to you and greet you. But hear this heart shouting… I pray you be well and wish you all that your heart longs. Today, God reminds everyone, especially me, of the purpose you were created for. Never could I be less than grateful and blessed.

Your friendship is worth the wait, dude. You remain worth it all. You continue to cause a smile, despite and inspite. Your value and the worth of your friendship has taught me the virtue I never really thought I could possibly have. Two years but i shall hang around and patiently stand still for the time I always pray to God for. Only HE knows what I hope for you to have. I am happy that you are happy and I pray you continue to be as I remain here. You deserve it grand.

Dude, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

marse’s day

happy birthday, marse!

i hope you’ll have a day you will always remember. Be more grateful of what you’ve had, have and the people already present rather than the people who choose to hide in their very own worlds for now. You can be assured you are remembered.

i will always be grateful for the reason you were brought to my life. amidst all our odds and challenges, i will always remember you were there for me on the phone for more than an hour a lot of times before, listening to everything i have to say, you were there to pass me notes and short letters telling me how you’re feeling and how one thing makes you happy. i will be grateful for the person that you are. always. no matter what. i will keep you. you know that.

be happy. you’re blessed.

happy birthday, tsip!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TSIP!

     I hope you’ll enjoy your day. you once said:

ganun talaga, gene. people come and go. friends go but they remain friends.

sana ganun ka din. i take responsibility to the things i did. that is the reason why i still have reasons to forgive. in pari delicto.

basta, though we put value on things differently, you know my stand on this. Maligayang kaarawan ulit, kaibigan. Dalangin ko ang kasiyahan mo sa araw na ito at sa mga susunod pa.

:-)

Happy Birthday!

I know i maybe the last person you would want to be greeted by… but still from the bottom of my heart…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAQUEL!

thank God for the life He has given you and the purpose He has created you for— your family, marcus, your loved ones… And I, myself would like to thank Him for the reason He has brought you to mine.

i am keeping my faith that in the perfect time, we’ll be able to see beyond what happened. In time, we’ll sync. I’m keeping my faith.

You enjoy your day. I thank you… because you seemed to have given my beloved friend the happiness i prayed he’ll have. And for that, among other things, I have more than enough reasons to wish you well.
