Dearest Sis,
It was a beautiful and exciting day for me. For a week, I had been waiting for your package to arrive. The courier agent informed me via SMS that it shall be delivered to me today. Had I not known the effort and the sincerity that came along with it, I wouldn’t have made so much fuss about this.
However, I feel so touched that a virtual friend like you will go through so much effort just to send me something special for my birthday. You made sure that I am going to receive the presents right on time by choosing the best courier around. In just 3 days, the package arrived in Philippine soil. You are such a sweet soul!
I am such a happy and blessed soul!
Can't you see it? It's all over my face! ;-)
I have told you so many times in the past that it isn’t everyday that I come across a blogger whom I so admire for her writing prowess. You exude that incorruptible girl power that not too many is endowed with. You are an epitome of a modern day woman yet you got your values intact.
From the day I started out my blogging journey, you already had my admiration and there’s no turning back since. I have been your avid fan and I have always been open about it. I frequent your blogs and I have always felt a rare, strong connection. It doesn’t happen to everyone. You have also been very supportive of me and my endeavors. For the three huge blogoversary celebrations that I have had, you have always taken part without hesitation. I don’t feel shy asking you at all for being one of my blogoversary sponsors because I know you won’t say no, hahaha! Kapalmuks ko! LOL!
Having said all these, my heart is overflowing with joy having realized that virtual friendship can be found for real. I feel happy that not everyone hates me, hahahaha! Kidding aside, I feel so blessed and loved so many days before my birthday. Thanks to you! I know I am loved and blessed everyday of my life because the air that I breathe each day is a huge manifestation of that. But having received these lovely stuff from someone that I haven’t met yet in the flesh, it feels entirely different. You simply made the 
Countdown to my 25th triple extra special!
Thank you for these Clinique items!
I love to be a woman!
Girl power! I so love this!
Clinique pouch
Calvin Klein top
More than the material gifts, I truly appreciate the gesture for making me feel very special on my natal day (which is still 2 days from now).
Seriously opening a card.
Geez! Sneaky camerawoman, hahaha!
I am grateful to God for giving me great acquaintances that I learn so many things from. I can’t express in so many words how much I am grateful for the gift of your friendship. May God continue to bless you.
Love and Hugs,
LAINY
NOTE: No name and blog link of the generous gift-giver shall be disclosed. This was a very personal request that I have to respect.

Wow! Happy na, birthday pa! Regalo na, Clinique pa! I can see from those gestures how ecstatic your day was upon receiving those presents. Ang generous naman ni Sis Giver (I think I know her).
Super! Tagal na ra ba ko wa ka-hop sa iyang blogs since I stopped doing EC drops. 
Feel kaayo naku nga sya jud no? Lol.
Anyway, you deserve the happiness and all the love in the world, Sis! Ayaw na pag-stress stress diha kay atong hayblad! Hahaha.
Happy birthday and may God continually bless you!
Much love!
