What made my birthday special?

December 3 was no ordinary day for me because it was my birthday. But just like any other day, I have to wake up early and prepare myself for work. I can't afford to take a birthday leave since I'm deployed in Alabel Branch as I recently assumed officially my duties in the manpower pool of our region last December 1. What really touched me was the number of text greetings I received from those who remembered me. I thanked too for those who called and emailed to express their good wishes. And of course to my parents who lovingly greeted me before I travelled. I owe my life to you Mamang and Papang and I will always love you!

Here are the text messages I find sharing…

Kanz: You will always be my friend wherever I am… wherever you are… even if it takes forever even if I see you never… You will always be a good friend longer than forever! Happy birthday!

Ma'am Rubz: I may not be the first one to greet you today but my prayer and wishes for you will surpass those of the rest even that of Kanz. Hapi bday Heinz!

Pinky: Understand how beautifully GOD has added one more day in your life, not because you need it, but because someone else needs YOU… Hapi bday!

Ma'am Clar: Today is another gracious gift from God… His mercies are new everyday… His faithfulness is great… May your days be full of His blessings… Happy Birthday!

Jing2X : Happy Birthday Tong! Wish you all the luck, good health and success in life.

Jolly: Gudmorning sir Heinz…J hapi birthday…J

Toto: Believe that the best will happen everyday, be aware that even trials are gift to make us strong enough to face life and trying times. Happy birthday Tong.

Dexter: Advanced happy birthday. God blez. More blessings to come.

Anonymous: Happy birthday Henro! More years, blessings, Mic……, Cha….., etc.

Etc… etc…

To those I forgot to mention, thank you! I know that those friends I haven't heard were just like me, busy as a bee, thank you!

 

Brod Jeff’s Birthday Bash

We celebrated Brod Jeff's 27^th birthday at Agua Frio Garden Resort last Sept. 25, 2008. It was a day late to his actual birthday which is Sept. 24. It was a happy occasion where our small group here in Koronadal had gathered once again and bonded with each other. It was also an opportunity to meet some new friends from Gen. Santos – Pie and Gerson. They were amiable and fun to be with. Present in the occasion were Sis Tere, Sis Mafe, Brod Tim, Dennis, Sheila, Brod Jeff, Joy and I.

Agua Frio is a 5-minute ride away from the boarding house of my Brod. We get there by a tricycle. It has a swimming pool and cottages just right for what we needed – a place for our simple get-together. It was already dark when we arrived there. At first, I thought the weather will prevent us from having a good time but fortunately the gloomy sky turned fine. We had our dinner after few minutes setting up the table. We played basketball in the pool where a ring stands at the middle. It was a lot of fun and excitement. It gave us the feeling that there's a child inside of us.
Brod Jeff and Joy had spent together in the pool for a while making most of the moments to last. The birthday boy had so much fun and were so blessed of him because he is really a nice guy.
Thanks brod for always being there for us! I'm happy 'coz you always find time that we can be together with our brothers and sisters. You have done a great job. Thank you for making us a part of your life. Just remember that we are always here for you in times of need. Happy Birthday Brod Jeff! I wish all the best for you. Take Care!
