Where do i start? I got the perfect gifts which gave me perfect moments and it's still ongoing. Day before my bday, gianina brought me to the museum so she could take pictures of me and adrian. Every thursday, adrian and i watch the movie cars and have pizza day. So even if the parents have no plans they still go out every thursday so adrian and i could have our date.hehe.. In the museum, when i wander and adrian loses sight of me, he'd cry at the top of his lungs, "kikay!!!!". In the cars scene where mator tells mcqueen he's his bestfriend, we'd look at each other and say "my bestfriend" (it's a perfect scene for you and me too of course!hehe..) Then afterwards we had my pre-bday Pietro's dinner with everybody. Dessert was ice cream cupcakes. Really good!
Midnight, i blew my ballerina candle on my ice cream cake and opened gifts from my sibs. Ielle sent me kisses (she put on different shades of lipstick and planted multiple kisses on a tissue paper) and daph put it in a handmade envelope.
Have been bugging them to upload Ploning on our ftp site so they sent me a dvd.hehe..
Mak uploaded a video on youtube of ielle and him singing.
Daph sent me a beautiful 5 page documented prayer where they all signed on the last page. I swallowed a lot on page 1 to keep tears from falling but on page 2 couldn't hold it back anymore. The cover was a beautiful etching on a velum paper based on a picture of me sitting on a log watching the sunset.
Teng's gift was arranged in a way where i read a bday card before every article and as the gifts progressed, so did the cards. It started out cute and simple and ended with the last card hitting the deepest sentiments. The letters they had for me were full of love and depth in meaning. It was just the eve of my bday.
I love how my bday fell on a sunday coz i got God's gift too! The message dealt with my utmost fear (what if God will not grant us papa's salvation) and gave me a fresh look at Calvary. Was wiping away tears a lot! Then i saw on the bulletin that NIV is celebrating it's 30th anniversary and that they are going around america in a feat to create a handwritten Bible which will be put at the Smithsonian Museum in New York. It will take 31,000 plus different handwritings for every verse in the Bible and i got to write I Timothy 1:11. How apt! hehe.. They will print copies too so hopefully i'd be able to get an edition coz it will be limited. I can't even begin to describe how swak the Lord's gift is.
The girls we traveled to dc with celebrated with me too. We drove to Lansing which is an hour away to have seafood dinner and then watch the play Lion King. No wonder that play won so many Tony awards! There were life size elephants, giraffes, puma's, birds, etc on the stage! Birds flying to our sides and powerful voices that creates goosebumps. Oh, the effects were spectacular! The grass and how mufasa's face formed in the starlit sky, breathtaking. It wasn't phantom of the opera or any other play i have always dreamed of watching, it was Lion King and it did not disappoint.
It's a day now after 22 but the gifts keep coming. Teng took the day off and we're going to the spa as well as go to bridges like in Madison county. This one is a previous bridge pix though:)
Praise God from Whom Happy Birthday comes from!!!!
