the surprise party i never made it to

My last birthday was a bit too hectic but ALL fun. It was also the annual ES (Elementary School) Sports Day so all of the teachers were OFFICIALS of the games. All of my co-teachers were on the ES field and where was I? In the MS Field of course! By some stroke of bad luck, the old switcharoo creeped up on me at the last minute, assigning me to the Middle School field with none of my co-teachers knowing. So they waited and waited and WAITED... expecting me to pop in at the last minute but, ALAS. They couldn't find me anywhere, and besides, break was almost over so they just ended up eating the pizza they bought for me and the party. They were sweet enough to NOT take a bite of the cake and waited for me to blow the candles. Thanks to Mrs. Riviello, Ms. Forgie, Mrs. David, Mrs. Martinez, Mr. Winton, Mr. Selander, Ate Clarisse and Cria for the sweet, sweet surprise. So here was the make-up party that transpired after all the games were over. Check out our sports day tshirts!

And the super sumptuous cake courtesy of the teachers.

Some of the "OFFICIALS" of the games. (Posing lang yan 'pre!)

Had dinner with the fam at this a new Chinese restaurant in Quezon City because CHINESE is my favorite food! Then karaoke with the friends at World Music Room in Promenade with my true friends Alessa, Bea and Patty, boyfriends Mark and Pat, and Wacky and friend! Thanks to Wacky for the song number! Too bad our EUROSTAR MISSION was aborted but let's do that soon.

Thanks to all the friends and family who bothered to give gifts and surprised me with text messages, phone calls, emails, etc, especially to the teachers at ISM and to all the students who sang for me. You definitely made my year! Here's to being 24... love you all!
