...blessing called friends

This one goes to my friends who made my birthday really special. 1.) Saturday, Nov 17- Pizza-Get-Together with the “Tropang VB” The “VB group” (as to what VB stands for…well, only us knows…Mae said you can join if you want to...hehe), my new-found-friends from SFC East a Dance Min, prepared a Pizza get together for me and Raziel at B-loi’s house. Special thanks to Mae for her GC and for B-loi too for accommodating us. Thanks too to Cris and Jasper for being there to add some fun. All of you were so thoughtful. I really never imagined you guys will exert this effort for us, especially for me since that we have only known each other during the cheer dance competition. Mae could have just used the GC to treat her family instead and B-loi could have just chosen to sleep after a long day at work and get some rest instead. My most appreciated part was the “honoring” part, a tradition we do in the community every time we celebrate birthdays. It is pleasing to know that they appreciate me. He he. 2.) Sunday, November 18 - Household/ Chapter Gathering at my place And, should I forget my chapter mates? Thanks to all of you who were present here last Sunday. The supposedly lower household for us sisters turned out to be a chapter gathering/birthday party for me. Let me begin by honoring the brothers first because, honestly, this time, I really appreciated them. Who would have thought that they will exert some effort to buy a present for me? Well, I mean, separately from the sisters because what they usually do before was just to share with whatever the group has for me. Thanks a lot bros! It was really nice, so nice that I really had this feeling that not you but someone from the girls bought it for you. Well, I later learned that it was Ryan’s GG who opted to choose it. No wonder, it was a good pick. He he! Thanks to her too. And, one more thing which I appreciated they did was that they were the ones who did the kitchen chores while the girls were in the living room watching TV and chatting. To mention, Kuya Nat and Wilson prepared the lettuce for the burgers, Wilson cooked the burger patties too, Ryan and Albert bought some drinks at a nearby store, Paul cooked the fries, and Anthony prepared the drinks, and, let us not forget Bok, the one in-charged with taste-testing and entertaining the sisters. Ha-ha! I can remember my sister telling Ate Deth, our chapter head, “spoiled pala ng mga boys ang mga girls sa chapter”. Ha ha! Are we really? My sister friends might get jealous if I do not say anything about them. He he! Definitely, I honor them too. It was them who planned this. Girls are really the more creative ones when it comes to gimmicks and surprises. He he! They initiated the theme for the party where everyone was supposed to wear anything green because, as they all know, green is my favorite color. Well, some were “pasaway”, but majority came wearing green caps, shirt, slippers, etc., anything with a touch of color green. And, almost each of them had their surprises for me too. To all those sisters who came, Ate Deth, Ate Lannie, Klea, Ryzel, Johanna, Raziel, Izzie, Karla, Cathy, Matet, Rica…Thank you so much sister friends! Just one of my blessings for this year…My blessings called friends…Thank you so much!!!
