I was expecting to write a short story about how simple and solemn my 17th birthday would be, but I'm so tamad to make one :))
Before long, like in the mid-1st semester, my high school friends are ranting about how boring and normal their birthdays are. Let's say when Agie entered her class for Math17 with a great smile plastered on her face, but was just stared upon by her classmates wondering what's the smile for. Of course, it didn't made Agie feel special at all. Not until her dormates reminded her that she's a special child of God and she must celebrate her day with a great heart. Agie took a bite of it. Her dormates filled in the happiness she's longing from her classmates.
Right then, I was wondering how would my birthday come to be. Thoughts struck my mind on how dull, boring and ill-stricken would it be. I imagined entering my class seeing people's head vowed and completely focused on their assigned reading material. Very silent. Only the noise of the ceiling fan is what we'd hear. This, of course, would make me release a long, depressed sigh. Because they didn't even bothered lifting their heads to check how blooming I am in my special day. Ughhh! I started hating my college life since then.
BUT my expectations turned upside down. :|
January 15, 2010
Just when I almost reached the stone bench near our college building, my blockmates greeted me in extreme high spirits. I forced a smile because I am feeling a not-so-good stare from a I-dont-want-to-talk-about person :D So, when I reached the classroom, several blockmates greeted me like it's my first and last birthday in my entire life. They're even more exuberant than me :)) I can't help feeling warm all through out the subject. I feel like my head is floating and I can't listen anymore to anyone's conversation. Kasi nga, I'm overwhelmed! And it takes thousand of days before I get overwhelmed again :D
I treated random blockmates @ Mcdo Philcoa. I hate this certain person. He feels as though he's part of our "everyday" barkada. Feel na feel niya pa magpa-order ng Coke e Spag na nga order niya, ano gusto niya sapakan na lang :)) Himala, nagkasya ang 500 php. Love it! :p
My birthday went on, as unexpected as it would be I received 3 gifts. One from Chesca, it's a pink pouch; Krissie, a table display with Colossians verse in it and Tin, a bear display with Numbers verse in it. Dapat nga raw 4, di raw nabigay ni Marlon yung kanya. Hahaha :))
So, let's move on with my incredulous PE :( I thought I already a what I call "perfect bday" but once again, I failed my God. My practical test result in volleyball is 28 over 40, a very unimaginable score ever! :| So I gotta move on before I would starting feeling the nostalgia and insecurity about it.
January 15 has LUNAR ECLIPSE! Is it JUST a coincidence? Or God's gift? HAHAHA :D I love the scenario because it's my very first time to see an actual eclipse with my bare eyes thru the tint of our car window. I imagined being an astronomer once again :)
We went to church. I prayed, thanks, praise, apologized to God. I said and eat and drink a lot inside the church. Gutom nako e even-though I already ate a spaghetti full-dish at home:))
@Home, I took a bath, I wanted to sleep na nga e kasi nabobore nako :| Plus I'm tired of tossing and hitting the volleyball with all my might. I want to give my self a birthday-beauty rest as I call it hahaha.
BUT. *drumrolls*
Its not the end of the day yet.*
Shauna, Apol, Marren, Fato knocked outside the gate with complete uniform, a birthday cake, party hats and colorful balloons. Gusto ko sila murahin e! :))
First time ko masurprise sa tanan-tanang buhay ko and I can't help but feel excited about it. Ganun pala ang feeling. I don't know how and what to react. All I know God brought them in my house to make me feel extra loved and caressed. :)
We had a night. Pinaiyak namin si Albert, kumain ng ice cream si Shauna na dala ni Apol, inasar si Apol, nagpicture ng marami, nanggulo ng wardrobe at nagcostume party, and tumawa ng hardcore :)) They're my FOREVER :D
Thank you God. It feels nice to know you have friends who loves you and will never leave by your side.
