23 on 23

I just turned 23 last Thursday. Thank you for everyone who greeted me on that special day. Some greetings even came before the day. Thanks so much!

The very first one to greet me was Ebet days before the exact date. Then Jeff at 7 pm on the 22nd. Nikki was the first to greet me on the exact date. Liezl greeted me through YM. Unfortunately, Jeff was not able to fetch me, so it was Marl who did. I treated him with coffee. And he gifted me with stories.

On the morning of my birthday, I went to UP to complete my "change of matriculation" (a tedious process to correct the stupidity of enrolling in a subject I thought I haven't yet taken which turned out I already did). I was going to have it signed by the dean but I was told that he wouldn't be there until 11 AM so I just left it there to not waste my time waiting. I went directly to Jeff's house to sleep.

I planned to spend my birthday as if it's no special than regular days but it was not meant to be.
We went to Tagaytay to celebrate, ate (thank you for the treat!) and had coffee. It was there that I completed the Starbucks stickers needed to claim the planner. Happy day!

(I will insert picture of planner here when I get the chance. XD)

Too bad I don't have a camera. I don't have any pictures to show for it. Only measly receipts from Carlo's Pizza and Starbucks. Jeff, Kio, Klip, thanks for the fun!

(I will insert picture of receipt here when I get the chance. XD)

I arrived late for work on Friday as I was determined to finish the change of matriculation process. Thank God that's done. Birthday greetings continued that day moreso because it was the day of the monthly company meeting. I was called on in the meeting and was greeted on the loudspeaker. It was so embarrassing! ._. But anyway, there was food and cake and though I know it was not especially for me it was FREE! XD

Birthday celebrations continued Saturday after my MA class (good thing my classmates didn't know I just celebrated my birthday). This time we celebrated with Janice, Donald, Ced, Kio (again), Magi, and AJ. We were planning to watch Casino Royale but the cinemas were already closed when we got there. So instead, we just ate at Max's to our heart's content then drank coffee (this time to complete the second round of stickers for Jeff XD) beside the bay. Rob unfortunately arrived late and was only able to catch us at that time (I think he ate some of the leftovers XD). We talked rowdily until around two.

Sunday was family day. I treated them to a KFC bucket meal because the Happy Feet tumblers were so cute. XD Then we all had coffee after. Jeff fetched me to drop off Magi and AJ in Bulacan. We ate chicken and Mulawin pan de sal and watched the really weird Willy Wonka movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (Nope, didn't like it.)

Today, no more birthday celebrations but it's not over yet as Laurence (an officemate) and I decided to celebrate our birthdays together (his birthday's tomorrow). Why? To split the bill of course! XD
