So my birthday was pretty much exciting and tiring at the same time. I woke up very early in the morning Monday and spent the first few hours with God. It had been a hard past two days spiritually as I have shared with some of you. I partially feel God is preparing me for my sermon I'm giving this Wednesday (tomorrow). But anyway, happy things first and then we can go into lamenting. Anyway, I got a nice surprise gift and song from the Connect people :-) The call center ministry is soooooooo sweet. Didn't expect that at all. Rajsh gave me a card with the deepest tagalog I have ever seen. And the others gave me a card that is covered with notes. So it is now tucked inside the notebook that I'm going to read in April :-( i want to read it now!!!!! Ayah!
Then I took my GREG discipleship group out to Hot Loops in the morning. It was a good meeting. Everyone came! Bart, Harry, Ayvan, Luigi, and Gio. It was great. I loved it. We had doughnuts and talked and joked and laughed. it was just an all around great meeting and we even got to discuss stuff about God. Sayang it didn't get too deep, but it was good too.
Later, I got back to my cubicle and Khat was there with a cake to surprise me! She's soooooooo sweet! I just loved the surprise cause I did not see it coming at all. We had a nice time together too.
Then I got this phone call from Ea and she told me that there is a surprise for the twins so I need to go down. In the back of my mind, I was like, this is a surprise for me too. I just know it! So i go down and everyone in the lobby sings for me. And Dawn came and gave me a big hug! Thank you, sis. I needed that. And then it turned out that there was ANOTHER surprise and happy birthday in the canteen talaga for all three of us. It was sweet! Bart did it all daw. Thanks, Bart! Again, I don't normally get surprised. So thanks to all of you. Joanie and Onah and a few others gave me a gift. :-) I think it may be some of my only gifts I have received for my bday.
Micah got me a figurine of Superman Prime :-) It's going to be added to my Green Lantern collection on my desk. Come by to see it.
Oh yeah, I got like a million texts from everyone. And then I got like a million emails from teh states. And then when I was pretty much expecting that the day was over, I got a nice surprise email from Abbey. She waited till the last possible minute in the day so that she could be the last one to wish me happy bday :-)
Over all, it was a blast! I was so tired, though, by the end of it. Oh yeah, Ate Chiki called me also, which was nice. I like getting phone calls.
So thank you everyone for making my 23rd birthday special and reminding me that the Bink 182 song isn't right about peopel who are 23 :-P For those too young to remember, um, look it up. Anyway, love you all so much and hoep I hear from you even when I'm in the states! Thanks!
HUGS ALL AROUND
