When I turned 25!

I was looking forward to doing something extra special on my 25^th birthday as heck.. I’M 25!! Though that’s more of an excuse really, I just really wanted to celebrate and have a good time with the people I most love. So I gathered my family and friends for a round of binge-eating, booze, basketball and a plain break from whichever we needed to take a break from. Here's a peek at how blessed I am..

First batch of friends for dinner arrives! That's (L-R) Ray, Riza, Patty & Demi. 

College represent! Thank you friends for the cake <3 They sure know how to feed my sweet tooth. 

This is when the fun starts. 

Photobomb Demi!!! 

Out at 2am. That's (L-R) Raph, Robi, Lawrence, Me, Mek and Bea. My biking/ frisbee/cooking/backflipping/ whatever-silly-thing-you-wana-do-with-your-boyfriend-but-oops-you-dont-have-one kind of friends. 

On the day itself, my bud Jayson came all the way from Laguna. We watched the UAAP Ateneo vs UST Finals Game 2. Ateneo might have won but I'm still a true blooded Thomasian. Black Gold Black White! Thanks for taking that extra mile for me bud! Greatly appreciated, alam mo yan! 

Mek dragged invited me to a meditation class in Fully Booked, High Street afterwards. Found something new to work on! Picture lotus position, hands on lap while chanting ommmmm. 

The day after, I still get a birthday cake from my Edlink family. Oh how I love my job and the people I work with <3 

And even a surprise date with a 1/2 of my favorite couple, Gale. Though of course the thoughts of the true conspirator were there too. Haha Panalo ka Mr. Mercs! These 2 have always made me feel like I'm part of their relationship. Ako na ang legal na third wheel! Haha Thank you for the love. I love the both of you to bits!

We attended my niece's birthday party over the weekend so nakibirthday na rin ako. Sinong magkamukha?? SINO???

Dami mong chicks Jollibee!

Spa party with the family care of Ate Gie afterwards! All of us got a Swedish Massage and Ear candling. Sigh, makes me feel relaxed just thinking of it. Asian Massage caters their services 24/7. You can go to one of their very many branches or call them for home service if you're too lazy to go out ;) Pls do check them out! http://www.asianmassageph.com/index.php 

And to top it all off, I went home to this. A surprise gift from the most special man in my life. Can I just assume that this is who I am to him - Princess Bubblegum of Adventure Time. Love you Ced!

With all the love surrounding me, I must say I'm one lucky girl. Its quite overwhelming to be given 25 wonderful years of life (and counting) that I can only hope and do something to pay it forward. <3
