the pal yuppies have this tradition that during birthdays, we all go out for lunch and treat the birthday celebrant to a sumptous meal. but now, there's an addition to that, birthday presents!
this is a replica of a cake but instead of having candles on it, tiny placards were stuck bearing messages from people at work. they call me an activist because i used to join rallies when i was in college and sometimes i write in pure filipino. the happy birthday "placard" on the right, stucked in that pink pencil case is our "birthday torch". pinagpapasa-pasahan lang ng mga nagbibirthday.
a macro shot of the long-stemmed rose they gave me. hindi ko kasi makunan ng maayos. on our way to lunch, polar bear and philboro broke away from the group and said they were just gonna buy something. and when we were ordering food, the rose just appeared from out of nowhere. kidding. i was looking at the menu so i didnt notice them coming in and i just looked up when i heard philboro singing happy birthday sabay abot ng luntiang dahon. they were supposed to buy a flower that matches the color of my shoes but since i was wearing green shoes that day and they didnt find any green flower, red roses na lang na may separate na green leaf ang binigay haha
needless to say, the girls masterminded this. im really not the girly girl type and they want to make me one so they bought this dress for me with an instruction, no a command, to wear it the next time we go out.
so glad to have a really sweet bunch of friends
