the best birthday i've ever had

♫
UMAYGED!!! sobrang HAPPY ang aking 18th birthday!!! ♥

ang dami kong roses... wahaha ang saya talaga.

60 pink and white roses

i had my second debut today. actually, since yesterday pa. overnight beach party eh. it was just simple. i just went to paradise island with relatives. pero although simple, sobrang saya nun. pramis!

we arrived at the beach yesterday in the afternoon. after my class, i bought some stuff for the overnight, helped prepare the food, then went na to the beach. naligo kami agad. sorry na lang sa buhok ko (bawal sa saltwater) pero i really wanted to enjoy my birthday. so naliiigo/nagswiiim ako. from 5 to 11 ng gabi. woohooo. sobrang relaxing nun. walang sun eh.

my favorite part of the night was looking at the sky. i spent about an hour just lying down on the water (this is also called floating, hehehe). sobraaang relaxing nun. if i'm gonna have my own house na in the future, gusto ko merong swimming pool para magawa ko yun whenever i want to. ang saya kasi. lam mo yun, star gazing tapos nasa water ka nakahiga. sobrang nakaka-destress. aylavet.

so yun, kagabi, there i was, lying down on the water and gazing at the constellations above. i just allowed the water to drift me to different directions. for a while as i was floating, i spread my arms. i closed my eyes and thought, hmm, super romantic siguro if a special someone will also float beside me and hold my hand. ang sweet. kilig. hahaha.

last night nga pala, sobrang timing kasi may fireworks sa paradise nun. as in. ang ganda. for a few minutes, we just watched the fireworks. para bang nagprepare talaga sila for my birthday (hahaha, hayaan nyo na lang akong mag-isip na ganun kahit hindi). pero really, timing. tapos ang ganda pa dahil maraming violet. hehehe.

anyway, ayun, i also got the chance to have a heart-to-heart talk with kuya ojie, one of my cousins. malapit na silang aalis papuntang canada. hahai. anyway (again), i took a shower na by 11PM. after showering, i just listened to music. again, sobrang relaxing. tapos kumuha ako ng cushion at humiga sa may sand, dun banda sa walang roof para makita ko yung stars. i loved it talaga kahit na the clouds covered the stars after a while. imagine mo, you are listening to music tapos may faint sound ng waves crashing sa seashore. 'di ba very relaxing?

by 12 midnight, one of my best friends called. usap usap usaaap lang kami. share2x, tawa2x. salamat kaayo, little sis. ☺ after jonelle's call, nag hang ang phone ko. may 10 new messages ako. wahaha, ang saya. tapos people texted me until mga 2AM. greet2x. ayun. lipai. hihihi. may inopen din pala akong gift by midnight. it was a pretty choker. ang saya. by 2AM, medyo inantok na ako so natulog na ako. i was planning to wake up before 5 in the morning to take photos of the sunrise pero 6AM na ako nagising. oh well.

my brother and i rented aquabikes at 8AM so hindi ko napansin yung dala ng tita/tito/cousins ko. bale may isang family kasing kaninang umaga lang nakapunta sa beach kasi nag-OR pa tito ko. anyway, nagdala pala sila ng maraming roses! huwa, after i returned the aquabike, nagulat na lang ako nung arranged na yung chairs tapos may roses nang hawak yung cousins ko. 18 roses. 3 bouquets of more pink roses. ang saya! picture-taking galore.

at 11AM, we left the beach na. we went home directly. sobrang exhausted ako that i slept a little nung pauwi kami. pagdating sa bahay, pagoood na talaga ako that i planned to take a shower right away then matulog na sana. eh pagpasok ko man ng house may nakita akong bouquet of white and pink roses sa center table. siyeht. nabuhayan ako. hahaha. ang saya! as i held and admired the bouquet that carlo gave me, the helper told me na may cake pa daw. umayged, ang saya! hehehe. how many times have i said "ang saya" in this entry na? hehehe.

so ayun... I LOVE THIS DAY!!!

thank you talaga to everybody who made me happy today with flowers, cakes & pastries, homemade goodies, overseas calls, stuffed toys, text messages, friendster comments, blog headers (plus scrolling marquees and the like), Y!M IMs, local calls, other gifts (necklace, perfume, etc), hugs, and kisses. love ko kayo. ♥
