Thank you for the Greetings

(please sing to the tune of Thank you for the music by abba!!)

Thank you for the greetings..

The friends I’m bringing.

 Thanks to all the food I’m eating…

 Who can live without it?

I ask in all honestyyy.

What would life beee?  

With out my friends and my family?

And I say thank you for the greetings!

For giving it to meeee.

After all my hints and signs and warnings! Thanks to all who greeted me!! Its super heart warming! Bwhahaha! Especially thank you SARS for creating that blogsite http://chesca24bday.blogspot.com/  although........ lots of people were coming up to me, saying that you threatened them to post. Most of them got scared! What exactly did you say to them? Hahaha!! I was at work when I read that, I saw the link in cha’s post. Hehe. But it was 1am.. and I was doing the thank you blog. So when you reminded me to check it out again.. I was at work… and started tearing up. But didn’t show anyone that I was. Hahaha! sobrang sayang basahin!! And it’s PINK! I love it!!!

And mr. vince ku, you’re now the hottest guy in my life’s social network. Really! Everyone’s been asking me. Who’s that Vince? Ches! Is that your boyfriend?? Hey Vince! Please clear our names! Help me out here! Funny post BTW . yours is the most popular post!. You never fail to crack me up! Bwahahaha. Vince is half-indian pala, and my ex-officemate from canon schmanon.

Like chix said, not that you’re asking for it, but this is what happened today. Lets start at yesterday. A friend called me up to greet me happy birthday!! Sabi nya, friend: happy birthday!! Ako: Advanced happy birthday you mean.. friend: its aug10! Ako: urmm, 8pm palang ditto! Hehe. So medyo maling timezone but that friend was the first one who greeted me in Philippine aug10 time. Hehe.

So today, when I woke up, I immediately checked my ym. And thanked people for greeting me. Hehe. What with my YM status saying that its my birthday today. Who wouldn’t right?

I go to work and started snapping up on pics of dubai. My officemates all greeted me, except the office witches. Its super fun! I open my laptop and immediately went online.

Debbie and liz handed me a birthday card each. Its so sweet. Ive never had a birthday card since I don’t know... elementary? They call me Francesca here. Refusing to call me chesca. And it sucks when they shortcut it and call me Fran! Yuck. Fran! Gross… good mood..come back!

I really wasn’t planning on working today. Just loiter in YM and thank people for greeting me. Hehe. So sars goes online! Yey! I’m always excited when she’s online! she’s the first person who reads all of these blogs. Well no, its just I tell her the story first. Then when I feel like it,then, I post a blog about it. anyhoo. So she tells me about that blogpost thing. And I look at it! keep quiet and read it for sometime... inhaling all the greetings.. laughing most of the time!. Then suddenly, my boss emails me that something like .. “food glorious food” because debbie's started to talk about food. And I WAS laughing on my email! Debbie asked.. “what are you laughing at?” I pressed ALT+TAB at the speed of sound and switched to the blogspot window. I said, look! My friend did this website and let all my other friends greet me from the Philippines.. liz and chris (boss), huddled up and said.. awww that’s so sweet! That’s very nice! But immediately lost interest when they spotted a few tagalog greetings.. hehe. They said, can you tell your friend to make me one? (as a joke)

So, I continued my reading/chatting with people. By lunch time, they called me up to the meeting room again! And there on the table is my homemade birthday cake! Baked by Liz! It’s delicious! Sweet and spodgy (a term they used.)

My cake



Blowing the candles



Chris is my boss, lanky with a broken wrist


Chef Liz, tall blonde in black.



My mom cooked spaghetti and bought cake at home. They’re all celebrating my birthday without me. After eating they called me up!! Hehe. I talked to everyone. And they keep on asking me about marble slab and how fat ive become.

I ordered krispy kreme yesterday, and it arrived at the office at half past 2. This is my birthday treat for everyone. I gave everyone donuts! Even the witches! Hehe. Oh boy! Those brits love it! chris was so sick from eating too much. Chris: “im so full, why am I doing this to myself?”

Then junnis went online to greet me. seriously, im not surprised if you forgot! grr. Saying she sent something. Um, as long as its nothing kinky. And its not PORK. Hopefully it’ll turn up fine. But im guessing it’s a book! Is it the “the intimate adventures of a London call girl”?? that’s it! isn’t it? Or is it natsuo kirino’s latest novel? 

Mau also went online, I told her to video japan and treat herself. Care of me. Then send me the video! I miss japan!

I went home bringing the rest of the boxes filled with krispy kreme. When I get home, I see a gift on my bed! It’s from my roomie! Its sooo sweet! It’s a terry pratchett book with chace Crawford’s pic on it.. awww. We’re not close, and we hardly talk, yet she got me something!! Yey! I laid the krispy kreme boxes and fed them all donuts! Hehe.(see sars, ive told  this story to you.)

Then lalaine called!! She called!! From California!! Its soooo fun to hear from her!! She met up with ponchi in cali!! i cant believe how much i miss this  person!  paos pa  boses! haha

At the end of the day. I went out with my aunt and uncle and treated them for the 2nd time to noodle bowl. Another Chinese restaurant. I was super full and satisfied! And that ends my 24th birthday celebration!! Back to reality tomorrow, no wait,  chris hasnt got me a gift yet. and debbie will treat me to lunch tomorrow.

I still gotta finish eclipse soon.

Cheers!

    My mom cooked spaghetti and bought cake at home. They’re all celebrating my birthday without me. After eating they called me up!! Hehe. I talked to everyone. ------------------> We did the same thing.. cooked birthday style lunch.. but i have no idea why people at our house suddenly did so. There was even cake bought. I began to wonder.. are you really that special to me, such that my family sensed the vibe without me saying anything about birthdays?!

    so whats this thing about marble slab?
