today marked the beginning of the second semester and i actually felt the "high" of starting classes again after a 10-day semestral break (a first in the history of pisd). the class day started with the usual monday flag ceremony and i was startled by a happy birthday song from the entire high school department. they even had my age wrong, i'm 24, not 22! though i hope i'd look like the latter or even younger! hehe
i was beckoned by the tasks to work, work, work... though i did have a sideline: my natal day in face book! hehe though the account was actually created a day or two after my birthday, it remained stagnant as i was not able to surf the net for a few days... thoughtful people sent me videos, comments, pictures (even a primary pic at that!) to fill up the empty page...
at the end of the day, i had to rush to my godchild's house to retrieve the barong, which together with the rest of the gowns we rented, was scheduled to be returned to sheng's. i had to beat the traffic jam as high school teachers pleaded me to be with them at 6pm. to my surprise, the school was deserted when i came back... (awww, i thought my hunch about a surprise party was right)
then a phone call came and i was instructed to go to gardena fresca, where they were all waiting for me with well wishes and ehem... food! i was touched and moved to tears at the simple yet thoughtful gesture. after dinner, i waited for the text message to go to anne and blessy's apartment to surprise the birthday girl... the clock struck 9... 10... 1030 came and a message was received. toink, it was sent past 9am instructing me to go to serenity spa... i was too late, they were done with the surprise...
it rained hard and as i was conditioned to leave home for bcc to take part in the second surprise of the night, our harana to mother eagle p.rej, i was no longer permitted to leave... huhuhu how can a high accelerate to become a low? oh well, there are more birthdays to come for blessy and prej, and since these ladies are for keeps, i surely will be part of the succeeding surprise parties... what a first day high!
*happy birthday it-it! sorry i wasn't able to make it but deep in my heart, you are treasured... hugs!
