#bestbirthdaymessageever

I wasn't really expecting anything for my birthday as my husband and I had an advance celebration already when I went paragliding last week of April. I really wanted to try it for quite a long time already but because he's somehow hesitant about the safety, its been put on hold until he's comfortable with me doing it. 

Then, come last week of April, he finally allowed me to try it - just for my upcoming birthday. The paragliding crash course was his advance gift to me. I tried tandem for several times and then single. It was so much fun - not to tell, one heck of an arm workout! 

So on my birthday, nothing was really planned except to celebrate it with family and some friends over dinner. I wont be taking a day-off as my work-plan wont allow me to, I have several meetings and tasks to complete, so it was just a usual day for me.

Yet, my husband, early in the morning, tries to wake me up by calling my name and greeting me happy birthday. When I opened my eyes, he was holding a creme brulee cake which happen to be my most recent favorite. Its not the usual cake that can be bought in store by walk in, it has to be requested weeks ahead. So, it occur that my husband did prepare for my birthday. Hmm. So what's the surprise then? A bubble thought appear to my head.

A message wall came to me by surprise! Our pictures all over the wall, arranged and grouped according to the subject of his message.

Here's his messages up-close:

I felt every word. But one has caught my attention and has been my favorite birthday message ever! You know he's telling the truth! Sure I dont have a hot body like Marian Rivera (probably he's been checking her out thru Edsa Billboards) and a face as pretty as Emma Stone, but for my husband, damn, I am beautiful! Huh! This deserves a hashtag! #bestbirthdaymessageever :)

It was a simple celebration. A simple yet very fulfilling. I thank God for giving me another year of life, to enjoy, to make memories, to take on new challenges, to be grateful, to fail and to succeed, to laugh and be sad, to learn new things, to learn from the mistakes and to praise and gratify Him. Thank you for all the people who remembered me today. I appreciate every warm greetings you sent for me. I had a blast!
