‘Habewdey’
Tuesday, August 22, 2006It's barely a week before my birthday and, as usual, my folks at home are excited about it — that's how it is at home, though we do not really have the finances to celebrate birthdays with much glam hehe… just a merienda gathering among immediate relatives, that's all — asking me about my plans blah blah… which in fact I haven't given some thought up 'til now.
Anyway, what really made my rest day(s) extra special was a couple of advanced bday gifts I received last Sunday (",) : a gold ring from my grandma, a bag from Girbaud from my ninang, and.. a cute and honest-to-goodness "Happy birthday" from my youngest cousin (who is soooo cute hihihi!). Well, you see, he's two and a half and now at the stage of mimicking everything we tell him. So when he was told that it's my bday next Sunday and asked to greet me, he just uttered some 'Habewdey..' and that was enough for me to kiss him and hurry somewhere upstairs and hide..
Yep. I cried. My cute baby cousin has beaten everyone else in greeting me on my 23rd year of existence. It was one week too early but so what. He made my day and the first greeting matters to me. Maybe the absence of my relatives (physically) during my previous birthday made me appreciate them now..
The gold ring by the way was not really from my grandma. It was originally my mom's and my lola had it 'reworked' to fit on me. Good timing that she handed it to me before my birthday that I consider it as a present hehe!
The bag? Well let's just say that we must do good things and good things will happen to you. That simple. Karma. And it feels good!
Ayt! Back to work
