*This is a live blog and I'm writing this on "real time" (well, as much as I can) as I go through this very special day. Read the post from bottom to top for the proper sequence.


4:37 pm
Friends, former officemates, college & highschool buddies, and cousins had been texting, calling, and sending e-mails all day to greet me and wish me happiness, good health, great love, etc. Here are some of the memorable ones:

"Be patient when God doesn't give you what you want. He knows the best time for you to have it. Just remember that you can have it all. You just can't have it all at once. Have a blessed birthday! We miss you!"

"Happy Birthday! Wag mo na paalala nangyari sa kotse ko. Magkasama kami ni Deng kahapon. Buti ka pa happy!"

"Happy Happy Happy Birthday! *Hugs* May Date kayo?"
(this is special because it came from a particularly non-mushy-non-sweet best pal of mine. you know who you are, heheh!)

Me: Hi! What's the tire size of Honda Jazz 1.5? Thanks.
Him: 185/55 R15
(shucks, ako na nag-text...wala pa din greeting??? geez, they truly forgot about it! OR something major is cooking up...hmmm...)

"Of course I did not forget...alam mo naman na you're strong to me eh. Anyway, wish you all the best, pare!"

"Anong thanks??? A Venetto katapat nyan ha! Enjoy your day!"
(oooohhhh, A Venetto! sooooo yummy!!! so delish!)

"Birthday girl! Good Morning! I'm praying that your most fervent wish comes true this time. Hope SOMEBODY doesn’t forget your day. Mwah!"

"Hey! Happy, happy birthday best friend! Miss you so much. I pray that God will bless you with whatever it is that your heart desires today. Mwah!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)"
(this is special because I said so...)


P.S.
Several of my friends also took my "On-line Birthday Wish" seriously. I am so excited that I will get to strike several things off my list.
