The best day of my life

I've been asked before what was the happiest moment in my life was and I would always end up saying something totally different from the last time I had to answer the same question. But surely, any of my birthdays never came up. There's graduation, the first time I got a car, the first I had a girlfriend, and a whole lot of other firsts and inevitable occations like passing the boards. I never thought that I would be glad to say that my 30th birthday surpassed everything that happend in my 30 years of existence.

I for one never did celebrate my birthday with a party because of a lot of reasons. Partly because the last one I had was a major flop and the one before that was on my 7th birthday. As you can see birthday parties, especially those that were meant for me never did turn out like I planned or they never happened. To add gasoline to the fire, I had a couple of mishaps also, meaning two of my ex-relationships had a nose-dive on my birthday. The first time I thought was a fluke, a mere coincidence but when the second time happened it made me think maybe my birthday and relationships don't mix. Well that's the past so I try not connect one to the other. Hahahah!

But this year everything changed, I was still the grumpy guy when it came to his birthday but because of the efforts of one marvelous, loving lady with the help of some wonderful friends made me into the happiest man on that day.

That day started like any friday for me. A rhinoplasty in the morning started it off then followed by a hospital-food lunch then a 1.5L liposuction. What a day right?! But I planned to assist Jing (by the way, jing is that marvelous person I talked about. Love you baby.) with her converence. We headed to Krocodile grill at Greenhills me expecting to be a little oput of place because the convention was made up of her peers and co-residents which most I really didn't know.

So there i was following behind her walking towards 2 big wooden sliding doors minding my own life and just trying to keep up with her. When she opened the door I saw ballons arranged on the wall. i said to myself "fuck, i think we blew a surprize party some some dude. Shit that would really ruin it for that person." But oh my god, jing just went in. i was thinking maybe it was for a consultant or a co-worker and I was invited to share in the celebration. So i just followed her in with my head bowed down and trying not to look everywhere looking like a lost boy. so when i went in, bam!! it hit me. People started to sing happy birthday. I looked up and i saw family and friends around me with a picture cake. It was a surpize party for me.

My friends that i never see and all of my barkada from home, college days, med days were all there. my family and jing's family were also there to help me celebrate. It turns out that she planned this by herself and it took a month in preparation. She was the one who called up my friends and picked-out the place. It was jam packed. That was the best birthday I ever had.

Thank you so much to my baby, Jing who labored very hard to make that party for me and for being able to hide it that well. Thank you to her friends that helped her a lot, Maan, Jette and Rida. Thanbk you so much guys.

And I'll be taking the suggestion of a lot of people during the party, I won't be letting go of this one.
