After two days of convincing him to meet up with me on the evening of Dec. 21, he gave in after I told him not to avoid my surprise (jokingly, of course). I went to Rob Manila to get the party poppers I asked my co-teacher to buy for me in Divi. She got me 4 huge party poppers instead of those tiny poppers that only required pulling a string. We only used 2. So anyway, after Rob Manila and Cubao Expo with Joey (where I got the mini tampipi for the gift), I went straight home to cram the surprise. He just got home too from his Mom's birthday dinner. I was done with the whole thing and we decided to meet at the "isaw place." It was only 11:15 so I had to do a lot of things to not make him notice that I was waiting for 12 (which I bet he noticed naman talaga). 11:58 came and I made him close his eyes, so he won't see the popper (It took me several minutes to figure out how to make it work, which meant that his eyes were closed for several minutes too. Haha). Eventually, it worked and I shouted "HEYPI BERT-DEY" and we were both laughing. I handed him his own party popper and the moment was just too sabaw so we just laughed and laughed. Btw, nagkalat lang naman kami sa buong kalsada. Hahaha. And then I gave him his gift, 19 cola-flavored lollipops inside a mini tampipi (He told me that he still had the first mini tampipi that I gave him a year ago. I lost mine. Haha). I didn't know where to place the lollipops at first. Thank God for that Cubao Expo store that sells overpriced mini tampipis. Well at least, there's an explanation why the lollipops had to be placed there. And then I handed him his Christmas gift (small cola-flavored lollipops to make him feel that my birthday gift was more important). I also made a note that told him to open his email when he got home, etc, etc. But groupcard failed me so I just sent him the link. Here it is. At 2 am, we went home.
Hey you! I know that even if you're trying to understate it, I confidently know that I made you really happy last night. You know what the note says. And you know why I made a surprise for you. It's not just a pambawi for every every every thing. Hahahaha. AM I NOT THE SWEETEST FRIEND EVER? It's funny how this friendship started from just a random YM conversation on a finals week at around 3 am when we were the only persons awake, exchanging youtube videos that started with BJ Greg. Hahaha. So much more to say but I need not say it. You should know it. Two completely different people. Seriously, it's amazing. I'm thankful. Really. :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERTSZ!
