My birthday Miracle

Surprises never work with me. I always find out even before the actual surprise and I never thought I would ever enjoy a real surprise party.. But today, I did.

My birthday, as you might have read in my earlier posts, fell on the same day that horrid storm decided to dawn in my beloved Manila. The damage it caused and left us was immeasurable and as I dragged on the day and days after that, I had so much growth. I grew up all of a sudden, I steadied in, I became okay and just when I thought things couldn't get any better, my friends decided to give me a surprise birthday "party".

I was out with JP the whole day and when class time finally rolled in (4:30 pm, yes only one class every M,W), we went to school. He was asking me if we could drop by Halmen's office but I was rushing to get to class as we were late and when we got to the classroom, none of my friends were there. But we had a test so I didn't really have time to look for them. As I was standing up and asking paper from my classmate, my friends came in, adorned with cake, balloons and their very loud rendition of Happy Birthday. I was shocked that they actually disrupted a class, a test at that. Good thing my teacher was nice and he didn't really mind.

They are certainly the gifts I believe God gave me for my birthday. This day is very symbolic. A lot happened today that only made me love my life even more. All the past hurts, disappointments and sadness got washed away and I'm happy to report i'm now happier than ever.

JP, Max, Hal, Cathy, Mommy Gretz, Daddy Rap, Kelvin, Renz, Niko, Angelica, John and the rest, THANK YOU. For making my 21st birthday the memorable experience that it was. I am so blessed to have known each of you and to be able to call you guys friends. My heart goes out to each of you. You have NO IDEA how happy you have made me feel. I now know I'm loved way more than I ever thought I was.

My heart is so full right now that i'm smiling so hard my face hurts and i'm blushing so hard the sky's turning red. You guys make my heart sing and my eyes to forever sparkle.

When Manila was being stormed down last Thursday, my real birthday, I kept praying to make the coming year good, better if He can allow it. And now, after today, I know it won't be just good or better... It's going to be INCREDIBLY AMAZING.
