Tears of Joy

One thing I am sure: I don't have any idea about this surprise birthday party given by my family and friends. Oh yeah, I'm touched. Let me start the story telling from the day it happened. Morning, I was at Mik's residence. Di ba nag overnight ako then pinaliguan ni Mik hair ko yung parang asa salon lang ang feeling tas kinulot nya ko kase para daw maganda ako sa birthday ko. Lol. Felt like I was a princess. I was little worried sa celebration kase wala daw power samen so I prayed. We went to Marquee for our meeting place and there nilagyan ako ng make-up ni Mik and Sai trimmed my bangs. Sa Marquee Park namen to ginawa ah, not inside. Almost 6pm already and yet no messages coming from my mom like "uwi kana dahil birthday mo" No. Nothing like that. Many tensions happened and nung karating ko sa house, I found out na andun na pala mga friends ko and they were all dressed in their summer outfit. Huhu! I don't belong. Buuuuut wait! My friends and my mom pulled me inside the room and they wanted me to wear a Hawaiian outfit. It's like Duh? I never tried anything like that so.. But of course, I don't wanna be killjoy and I knew at that time na sa bahay lang namen kaya okay lang so Go! But I was wrong! Shocks! We headed sa harap ng bahay naman which is a gym. Oh my! Many faces. What's happening?! Whoaaaaaa! Tadaaa! Here I am again, crying. Why again? because since third year high school, during my birthdays there would always something na mapapaiyak ako. Can I reminisce those for a second? HAHA. For third year: I thought my friends would not come but that was part of their plan, nagtampo ako but they surprised  me then I started to cry. Fourth year: I joined YouthForChrist camp and nung last day was birthday ko. I was happy nung gabe palang kase ang dameng nag ggreet na di ko kilala. Lol. Nung bago kame mag part ways there was a program again and isa ako sa mga nag testimonial and dun ako umiyak. 1st year college: I went for a summer job so pumapasok ako hanggang 7pm and I have no idea na may surprise din yung friends ko kase naman kasabay ko lang umuwi yung  iba. Karating ko ng bahay, i cried again. Humabol din yung mga kasama ko nun. Mastermind din yung mother ko sa mga surprises.  So that was my moments of Tears of Joy!

My highschool friends. Sayang ang dameng wala but okay lang.

See, I'm so happy here. Abot tenga ang tuwa. I got hp mini 210 netbook from my parents. 

Ever since, I wanted na talaga to experience the Japanese lantern and there you go. Don't wanna say anymore what happened after that scene.

Look at Jomerl! He's so COOOOOOL!

Thank you O' Lord for these people you sent to be an instrument of your love.

My 18th year

This April 18, Wednesday, I celebrated my 18th year on this earth. Thank God for this wonderful life. I was planning talaga sa birthday ko na magpakain ng mga matatanda sa bahay Pag Ibig but due to pagiging busy I wasn't able to do that so instead sabe ko nalang sa mother ko na mag celebrate nalang ako sa Saturday with simpleng handaan na lang. On that day, my mom gave me a Juicy tshirt na may nakasulat na debutante. So perfect for me. Haha. What I did lang talaga is natulog ng hapon. Ayaw ko naman na maremember ko yung 18th birthday ko ng natulog lang at tumambay sa bahay kaya niyaya ko si mama and yung sister ko na manuod ng cine. Pumunta kame ng Marquee ng mga 7pm  at nag dinner sa Susie's Cuisine. Pumunta yung kapatid kong lalake and ansaya ko na nun kase malagad lang namen syang nakakasama. Before kame nanuod ng cine, tumingin muna ako ng laptop. Nag avail kame ng last Full show and pinanuod namen yung 5 Morons and the Crying lady. I wanted to watch that kahit may mga nagsasabeng di man maganda at corny lang pero dahil mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko natawa naman ako. I agree din sa mga NOT LOVERS OF THAT MOVIE kase yung iba nga naman talaga ay di man nakakatawa. After namen nanuod bumili ako ng Cornetto! haha. Yung Milk chocolate. Di ko pa natitikman kase yun e. Then, Home sweet home. Knock out! That's what happened.

Aliessy @ 18

Mga 3pm nag nepo and baratillo kame nila mama, nagpasama akong tumingin ng damet na susuotin ko para dito. Then nagkita kame ni dagdag with car sa 711. Nagkitakita kame sa Moonleaf, Sindalan. Nilibre ako ni Dagdag ng Lychee while waiting. Tumambay muna kame dun and mga 6 dun palang kame umalis. Nung karating namen wala pang masyadong tao. Nagbihis kame then wait for the party. Super biglaan lang yung debbut ni Liessy. 1 week lang sila nakapagprepare basta macelebrate lang daw yung debut nya. One of the treasures ako. Hmm, madameng bisita tyaka masarap ang foods.

Okay. There she goes

Nag overnight din kame sakanila. Mga 3 am nakame natulog except kay Jan kase mga 6pm natutulog na yun kaya mga 10 sya nakatulog. Tas pumasok kame ng last subject time pero wala si ma'am kaya di na talaga kame pumasok nila ces and tracy sa room. Tas finally, I miss my home.

Marsh @ 18

After gig, nag nepo kame nila Mik and Abby. Tinulungan nila ako mag hanap ng susuotin para kinabukasan sa debut ulit. Tas mga mag 8pm na nung nag kita kame nila Bea and Dam sa Marquee. With Bumble bee(dam's car) naka punta kame sa Magalang kung san ginanap birthday ni Marsh. Sa bahay lang nila ginawa at nung karating namen nashock kame kase sobrang dameng pumunta:) Agad kameng kumain then may live band din.

After the party, we had to go home kase late na. Never expecting, nakasara na yung gate sa subdivision and there were only two choice left, either lalakarin namen hanggang sa kabilang gate or akyat bahay gang kame. We were so CrazyLazy little kids that we chose the second one. Hahaha

Nightlife won't stop. So after the gig, we celebrated Matthew's 18th birthday in their music bar/resto, Pipeline. It is located at Hensonville, Angeles city. I didn't plan to attend though.

On our way to bar

Konti lang kameng nakapunta but we had fun. It was my first time to be in that place at Pipeline:) It's so nice to have a friend who owns a music bar. Coooool right? I wish I could have the same in the future.

Nikka's Birthday Celebration

Celebrating my friend's postponed birthday was really fun even we're just in small group who came. I didn't expected all of our friends would join because this week was too busy and the place was at Bamban, Tarlac. Isn't far? Of course it is! However, what would friends are for right? So, here's what happened:

3:30 Meet ups at Shell Balibago, then we went straight to Bamban. It's where our friend lives. It's actually a mountain! Literally speaking:) While waiting for Nikka's father to pick us up. We took pictures. Pau, wanted us to go to well known Grotto but we chose not to.

On our way to that, it was a Crazy Super Fun experience! Have you ever tried to ride on a Roller coaster? Well, that's what am I talking! Happily, we arrived at Goshen safely. I am not a first timer, but to those who are, they simply amazed:) Foods were not yet ready so what we've do Picture Picture;) One Two Three! Click.

Okaaaay. After a long time waiting, the foods are ready! It was a Buffet style and the foooooods! Ughhh. You'll never regret it. Swear;) Nikka's mother deals on Cater services, no wonder why it's so yummmmy:)

I have here my favorite macaroni salad and chicken tempura

We love doing crazy things together, sharing whatever thoughts we have and taking pictures all the time and so before we left, we do picture takings again to capture our unforgettable bonding. Actually, we didn't have the chance to get into the real celebration because of time. But most important was that we enjoyed the day.

They're teaching us How to Dougie in their own ways (Masters of the night)  HAHA.
