When i got home, i was still at daze because i was surprised twice for my eighteenth birthday. I saw my mom and I told her that it was very clever of her that she was able to keep all those surprises from me. I was actually anticipating the dinner with my family because after all the excitement, i just wanted to spend a quiet and intimate family dinner as celebration of my day with those whom i can be totally myself with. We went to Mario's for dinner because the ambience their was nice. I did not really eat much because i was already too full, but i definitely enjoyed the company of my mom, my brother and my kinakapatid, Kuya John.
I know i did not know how to express much of my appreciation for my mom, but i really wanted to let her know how much i wanted to thank her for absolutely everything and just tell her how much i love her. That night was nice, because i had a chance to say thank you. As in a literal "Thank you, mommy.", even if it sounded short, it meant a lot coming from my heart.
When we got home, i was ready to rest because it has been a long day, but i decided to stay up a bit more to print some school stuff. Around 11:30pm, someone rang our doorbell. I was wondering who would come at such an hour. Then sprang from the door were my good friends! Nicole, Joana, and Helaine came into our house hugging and greeting me a happy birthday! In a few seconds, a singing from behind me called my attention, my mom was singing happy birhtday as she brought out a huge nice Goldilocks cake! It was two layers, frosting and all, also with a ceramic figurine. It was so pretty and i just wanted to keep it as a keepsake. Wow, was the only word i could think of, i guess this day would never end! But i thought of that in a good way. My mom prepared so much for me too, but even if she did not, i would not have really noticed because i think everything she has done for me was already more than more than what was enough!
So Nicole suddenly throws in a plan of "photoshoot" for a project with me, Helaine and Joana as her models, that night! I would not go into detail. The shoot was not so great, it was late and i was tired and i was starting to get cranky because i felt that my day was kind of "used". But i kept my cool and went along with the whole thing. Nevertheless, i was really grateful that they would take the effort to actually come to my place that late at night just to surprise me.
That day, my debut, was a culmination. Of what, i can never answer. I know i am still me, i know i've gone through another year and learned a lot. I know i will learn more in the future. But in that day, i felt so much love that i was, in the littlest sense, changed in terms of how i viewed the "world" surrounding me. Thank you to all those people who love me. Thank you to all those that cared and thought of and for me. Thank you Lord for giving me so much blessings, not only material but also blessings of relationships with the best and worst people of whom i learn from each day of my life.
