you might be wondering why the post title is ".S."... well, you just have to read through this so you'd know. s is for seven. why seven? simple. august 7. my birthday. i will be talking about that special day... ^^

night of august 6. couldn't sleep. 11:00 pm and still awake. it was not my plan to stay up that late but then again, there's nothing i can do... maybe i was a bit excited. :p eventually, i fell asleep.

august 7. 2 am. woke up. okay... so maybe "bit" is not the right word to use to describe my excitement. maybe i was really really excited... lolz. just maybe. received few messages wishing me a happy birthday... after reading and replying, i slept for another 3 hours.

woke up at around 4:45 am, got ready for school. on the way to ymca makati (i was having pe first thing in the morning), i got a lot of text msgs from people who greeted me "happy birthday". i can't remember all of them but hey, thanks anyway... i found out later that day that tekki sent a group text telling everyone (okay, so maybe it wasn't everyone) it's my birthday and she gave away my number. so sweet. thanks! =) also, i found out that lyle, gel, chai and tekki greeted me at midnight. huhu... i wasn't able to receive it. but thanks anyway... after all, it's the thought that counts.

and so i arrived at ymca and like any other birthdays i've had, my classmates greeted me. then gel gave me a pink paper bag. yup! you guessed right! it's a GIFT!!! from jhel and dhuz! yay! i didn't open it right away though...

anyway, my birthday is the first day of midterm exams so yeah, we had exams in pe. afterwards, some warm-up exercise practices (i just realized it sounds weird to be talking about a practice for warm-up exercises. i mean, you might ask, "you practice warm-up exercises?" and yep! the answer would be a big YES. we do practice that. lolz

after pe, we walked from ymca to get to mcdo. we ate lunch there (at 9 am!). we eat too much fast food, i know! it was raining. and yes, my pe uniform, along with my all-white tennis shoes, got dirt all over it. boo! good thing we have to change into our school uniform later on... and so we ate at mcdo. when i finished eating, i causally used lyle's cam (mind you, i didn't ask permission) lolz. i made the cam face me, readying myself for another self-shot photo, i smiled then voila! a voice so soft but not too soft for me not to hear came and said, "happy birthday!" i know that voice. ala-ruffa mae daw sabi ng iba. i eventually turned around and saw my twinharts, "twinky tina mae", my BEST FRIEND ever! i was surprised! she was there! it was monday and she was supposed to have classes! or so i thought. she had none for that day! i was really happy. it was a surprise from SUKOB GIRLS. thanks much! muwaaaah!!! :)

but it didn't stop there. our next class was english and after taking the exam, we went straight to ministop, where tina mae was waiting. there, i met ian, tina mae's special someone. haha. i'm so happy for her! so long to the loser that hurt you so and welcome to the one who would truly love you so! lolz anyway, all 10 (tina mae, ian, lyle, gel, patty, jade, abi, amabel, iris and me ) of us went to LKG tower and had stormblaze specifically, banana split and brownie fudge delight (i had this one!). of course, i was the one who spent. haha! libre ko daw sa kanila everything was going well. i was enjoying my brownie fudge delight sprinkled with m&ms on top, when i realized i lost my id! the stupid metal thingy that connected my id to the strap opened itself! grrr! haaay... "lapitin daw sa disgrasya (or is it more like bad luck) ang may birthday"... i lost my id!!! huhu ='c and so i was in a bad mood for about half an hour. but eventually, i went back to normal... pinatawa nanaman ako ng mga friends... hehe... ganun naman palagi eh...

and so all our classes ended. but i had to go to the cr first. thina (not tina mae- thina is my current classmate and friend. christina moradillo. a.k.a concert queen. i call her "ultimate". ultimate of what?... "ultimate sexy." ^^) was there. she sang me a song. "ang araw na toh... ay araw moh..." di buo kasi di ko memorize anyway, it was so sweet. thanks thina. muwah! =)

going home.

we had a lot of things to do. my friends said they had to buy something so i let them go ahead. me, on the other hand, with gel, secured my affidavit of loss (i lost my id, remember?) and my gosh! it costs 130 pesos!... blah blah blah... i reported my id loss at the reg... blah blah blah..

LONG STORY, HUH?... I KNOW. I'M GETTING LAZY TYPING ALL THESE WORDS MYSELF. HAHA.

let's just fast forward everything. okay?

we met at the bus terminal near landmark. there, i saw my friends. all 8 of them, since gel was already with me. guess what? THERE WAS ANOTHER SURPRISE! it was a gift from "all of us"!!!

the packaging was very pretty. a scrapbook. my friends are so sweet. I LOVE THEM and I THANK THEM.

on the way home, tina mae and i sat by each other, telling stories of course. haha. long time no talk, no bond... it was a nice feeling... eventually, we arrived at pacita.

i went home.

the first thing i did was change my clothes and open the gifts. i loved all of the gifts. from jhel and dhus, tina mae and the gift from "all of us". i couldn't help but smile while reading each message dedicated to me. messages from old classmates and current classmates. former schoolmates, and the sort. i was really happy. i didn't even think of studying chemistry (we have midterm exams the next day). i just wanted to read it. all of the messages were special in their own way and i THANK everyone who made my birthday memorable. oh, and did i mention i cried at lyle's letter?... lol.





of course i received gifts from relatives and we ate dinner together. syempre may ICE CREAM! masaya nanaman ako!

oh, and he greeted me before going to sleep. =D

yun lng. that's the end of my brithday story.

but looking back, why did i entitle this post simply as ".S."?

"s" stands for soaring eagles, "s" stands for sukob girls, "s" stands for seven, "s" stands for special, "s" stands for surprise, and last but not the least, "s" stands for SALAMAT.
