Fatty, Happy Birthday! :)

Fatty, I know it’s your birthday and I’m supposed to wish you all the best of everything there is but I couldn’t resist grilling you on your special day. Hey you only get to be 25 once in your life and I might as well grab this opportunity!

Remember when we were 16? We dreaded the idea of turning 20. Much more, we couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to be 25! Now were on “it”, or going to be “it”----“it” suggestively pointing that being 25 is just a subtle way of saying that we are a quarter of a century old! Imagine that?

But why should age really matter? It’s not actually that important unless you are a wine, or a cheese perhaps. When you are experiencing the best and the worst in life with your family and self-proclaimed family (us, who else? Ahahaha!) including a strong support group of old friends and new friends, then turning a quarter of a century old is not really as dreadful as most people think. Actually, for what it’s worth, it’s actually something to be celebrated about, BIG TIMe!

As a way of celebrating your birthday, I made a random 25-item list about you. This 25 things consist of things about you and my wishes for you. So here is it!

1. Except for Chal and Joan who were my classmates in elementary, you are actually the first person whom I made friends with among our classmates. Remember the science camp and how we forged our friendship by complaining quietly about the flow of the plan for our group presentation?

2. I was actually scared and intimidated of you way back in high school. But fast forward several years later, I realized why I shouldn’t have had.

3. You don’t have a big number of friends. But what you lack for quantity, you compensate with quality.

4. When I think of college and university life. You’re one of the top people who come into my mind.

5. Your sensitivity as a person is something to be admired. Only that, a very few trusted people can get a glimpse of it because it is often masked by your strong personality.

6. Once somebody wins your trust, you give it all the way.

7. Your loyalty to family and friends is incomparable.

8. You are a hoarder and a keeper of random things. And I guess that extends to  how you keep and value people.

9. Remember “crazy for you?”. (Next number!)

10. A very few people know this but because of your appreciation of various movies, you often see and view situations as a scene in one of those you’ve seen.

11. You’re also one of the OC people whom I know when it comes to household tasks.

12. You’re a realist and you are deeply grounded.

13. You might express it in your own way, sometimes in ways that other people may misinterpret but you actually care a lot. In fact, behind your woman of steel demeanor is a big softie. :)

And, the other half of this list Fatty are my wishes and prayers for you!

14. I always include in my prayers that you (and the others, including me as well) will always find people who wouldn’t make you feel like you are miles away from home.

15. I wish you to always find happiness and peace of mind all the time.

16. I wish you the best health always (Very important!).

17. May you reach the places which you have always dreamt of going into.

18. May you always bring a little piece of home with you.

19. I hope you always have laughter and clean fun in the company of good people while always remembering the specialness of old friends.

20. I wish you to accept the grace of being granted all the desires of your heart.

21. I wish you to find love…

22….and love

23……and love

24……..and love

25………..and did I mention LOVe?
