• music: u2 . beautiful day

wow. best word to sum it all up. wow.

yesterday, as some of you know was the day i hit the big 2-5. yay. see the excitement? i was planning on doing nothing really. just a really laid back, relaxing day doing nothing. planned on a movie with joes and dinner with the rest of the roommates, but sneaky joes and chelsea threw a suprise bday thing at bj's.

i remember walking in with my head down 'coz i was texting chelsea about buying a stuffed penguin (from madagascar, so adorable) at kohl's, i looked up and saw my 2 sisters. and i looked up some more and saw the entire table. seriously, we pretty much had the entire main dining room at bj's. i think i may have had the biggest turn out of any staff activity.

first of all, many thanks to joes and chels for setting this up. sisters (where were you brother?) and roommates, you guys rock! thanks to gerard, vanessa, christian, elmer, john john and keno (i hope that was the right spelling) for coming. and sorry i wasn't a very good host.

very, very big thanks to my favorite people in the world for coming. my lovely, lovely co-workerfriends are the shiz! shout outs to (in order of how they were seated at the table 'coz that's the only way i'll remember who was there): wendy&howard tommy angela jd don joequeen joanna&babynoah kelly joeornelas solomon richard briansmith chelsea jensrisamai jason chrismcguire kristinemcd nicole markcoyan vinh. i hope i got everyone, 'coz it would totally suck if i missed somebody.

some couldn't make it but sent their regards. you guys were there in spirit, and i appreciate all of your best wishes.

i am really grateful to have been blessed with such great friends.

well crap! i didn't get emotional yesterday, but seems its catching up to me today. *sniff*

so anyway, the night was great! didn't get drunk and didn't want to anyway. my sister on the other hand...

anyway, thanks again to everyone for making this happen! this has been my best bday ever and i will always look back and remember the love and support you guys have given me on this day.
