A fun and blessed birthday!

Yesterday was my 28th birthday! I still had to go to work, I wasn't able to request for a birthday leave since we were scheduled to have a monitoring visit to projects at UP Los Baños. We arrived there around 10a.m. This was my first time to monitor a project - something that I will be used to because of the nature of my new assignment. We were informed by our other office mates who were monitoring at the other department that the projects they have visited prepared a packed lunch for us. I silently uttered a thank you prayer, because earlier, I was worried that I have to bring them to lunch (there were 6 of us) and my budget would not be sufficient, hahaha!

Incidentally, our former Executive Director, Dr. Ebora who is the current Director of the office we were monitoring, instructed his staff to inform us that we would drop by his office after the monitoring. It was another blessing in disguise because he offered to bring us to lunch, we were not even expecting that he is in the office yesterday. We dropped by Mer-Nels to claim the cake I had requested Claire (our former officemate who works near the area) to order for me. I was surprised because she already paid half of the price of the cake. She refused to be paid, she said it's her birthday treat for me...Wow! another thank you for another angel.

I was so overwhelmed by the graces I'm receiving at that very moment, I couldn't contain my gratefulness. We had a feast at the Kamayan sa Palaisdaan, a floating bahay-kubo restaurant located along Bay, Laguna a few minutes away from UP Los Baños. After the delicious and sumptuous meal, he even volunteered to tour us around.

I had a wonderful birthday blast - with a lunch sponsored by Dr. Ebora, a cake partially paid by Claire, a packed lunch and a box of Buko pie from generous project leaders.

I just bought an additional bilao of Palabok and 2 whole lechon manok, and there we were, dinner celebration with the whole family. The kids enjoyed much as I do, they cheered watching me blow the candle hahaha!


I am blessed, His graces came just in time. Thank you Jesus for this wonderful life you've given me. What more could I ask for? My Dream List is all coming on the way!!!
