27

a week ago from today, I turned 27. (yep, 27, and NOT 30! :p)

this year, I did something different. I decided to face my birthday head-on and really CELEBRATE to start my 27th year off on the right foot.

The festivities started on the eve of my birthday with a ’salubong’…big buddha dinner, time zone games, and red box sing-a-thon!

Thanks to Cherry, Mapet, Ace, and Ian for a very fun night!

Then the night/early morning continued with a mini surfrise party c/o Jing, Don, Pip, Sha, and Rorenz at Matanzas mansion!

Again, NO, I’M NOT 30! My not-funny friends just thought it would be nice to play a joke on me and have everyone think I’m 30 years old.

Then we capped off the work-week with a joint birthday celebration at the office where we (february birthday celebrants: me, ET, and Ernie) treated officemates to merienda and where I hired a sorbetero to serve ice cream!

But the fun didn’t stop there! We ended the week at Anawangin (Zambales) where I ate, slept, swam, ate, slept, swam, ate, and slept…just what I wished for when I blew the candles on my cake!

I’m just realizing now how fun it is to celebrate your own birthday! What a great week filled with good friends and fun-filled activities!

I have a strong feeling that 27 is a going to be a good year. Thanks everybody for celebrating with me!
