It's my Day -- simple yet fulfilling!

I need neither expensive gifts nor big surprises or any special celebrations, because just knowing that someone remembers and thinks of my day can already move me... and it's more than enough.

I have this hidden agenda that I did beforehand. I didn't talk to anybody about my upcoming birthday. I even purposely hid my birth date in my facebook profile.

Well, it is not because I don't want anybody to know that I'm already getting old -- I don't really care about me being no longer a "teen" -- or I don't want to treat anybody -- I actually planned to treat some (of course just only some -- I'm not a rich person and I'm not yet earning my own money) important people by surprise.

It is because I don't want to be flooded by greetings publicly. So non-sense, but that's the truth. I just really want a silent birthday. And one more thing, I somewhat want to know who are the people who can really remember my day.

And yesterday, my 2 best friends from high school -- Abegail, the one having a family already, and Sheena, the other one who is also still studying like me -- texted me. They greeted me in advance. Seems like they already know and remember my day by heart. I really love them.

Today, Raymar, another best friend from high school also sent his greetings, in FB messenger and K, a friend from elementary in twitter.
  

Still, nobody can defeat one's own family.

 Look at this one: a single flower like me...

This was given to me by ANA two days ago. Yes, two days before my birthday and yet she already made me happy. Not just that. When I asked her why flower, she said: "It was what you have said before. You said, you want to receive a flower on your birthday..." I couldn't even remember that I said that before, but she did.

This morning, the first message that I read in my phone was from our Mommy. It says, "Happy birthday. Wish you luck, child. God bless you!"

Then, Daddy tried to call me as well. It was just that I sounded hoarse due to some cough and colds so I wasn't able to talk to him.

Ate greeted me just upon waking up. She invited me to go to some places (SM, Divisoria). I just didn't really feel like going out -- as usual.

Kuya was the one who treated for our food. We have Jollibee for our lunch, bought by ANA -- and ice cream during dinner. 
 

And the most memorable part of today...

is when I was able to attend the Sunday mass.

Honestly, it was really a long time ago since I was able to go to the Church -- and I consider it as one of the most hateful part of me. So, today was really a remarkable one. I feel like it's really my birthday and I was reborn.
 

So...

That's it, and I feel like I already have a fulfilling day! I need not several people to make my day so special and to make me happy. Just such little things are enough.
