Maraming Salamat!

This post is long overdue. Nevertheless, it is most appropriate to pay homage to those who remembered and have never forgotten to wish me well on my birthday despite my being in absentia for ages at the blogs.

First in the list would be the brilliant blogpal, Windy, who had published his Birthday wishes H E R E as early as October 27. The personalized birthday e-card which he had creatively conceptualized made it even more special. And him declaring the occasion as my 16th birthday instead of it being my 25th, truly touched and melted my heart. (Oops! it’s still flowing all over my computer set… LOL!)

It did not end there. Windy made sure he was the first one to greet me via SMS at the stroke of midnight on October 29:

Many, many happy returns of October 29, Lainy. At the crossroads of your life, May God be with you and guide you. May you find happiness and fulfillment.

Ally, my pretty cousin, was right on time to wish me the best on the very day of my birth. Thanks so much for the yummy cake!

Twerlyn, my long-time high school and blogging buddy, once more shared her poetic skills by composing a beautiful poem written in Filipino dedicated specially for me.

Here it goes:

Maligayang kaarawan, Leyn!
Sana’y makamit mo na ang inaasam mo sa buhay.
Nais ko ang iyong kaligayan.
Dalangin ko rin ang iyong kalusugan
Na sanay hindi na kumapit ang sakit sa iyong kaseksihan.
Ingatan ang sarili para palaging forever 25! Hehe!
Love you my friend!

Isn’t she so sweet?

My Boss, who hasn’t been actively blogging for ages (LOL!) took the time and the effort to send his birthday greetings via the famous social networking site, Facebook and after which he made a call just to be sure that his greetings had reached me

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the support and everything that you have done to our office. Keep up the good work..

David Funk caught me off-guard when I was featured in the headline of the Daily for the October 29, 2010 issue. Through this birthday tribute, he had once more proven his artistic ability in surprising friends. Good job, my friend!

I was a little surprised but was surely elated to have seen the influx of quite a handful of messages on my phone as well as at my Facebook wall from fellow bloggers, friends, co-workers, relatives, classmates, churchmates, etc. It was only then that I realized the Facebook birthday setting was displayed for everyone to see, LOL!

And to round it off, my 25th Birthday celebration was another fun day.

To all of you who have not been mentioned here but have sincerely extended your birthday greetings and wishes,

Thank you very much… from the bottom of my heart!
