Turning Two and Twenty Four
04.24.08. What I thought to be a simple get-together dinner with my ‘training start group’ to commemorate our 2nd year anniversary at work and to give Anelia, one of our colleagues soon-to-be mommy, our baby shower gifts, turned out to be a birthday surprise on the side for me.
I only had 3 hours of sleep and I arrived at Shakey’s in Robinson’s Pioneer, 15 minutes late that most of my colleagues were already present. After I finished my meal, as if cued by a stage director, two waiters approached carrying a cake with a little candle in the middle, a single-serving of ice cream and birthday balloons. Instantly, the spotlight was on me.
I’ll be turning 24 next week and this night I proved to myself that I am indeed capable of being surprised and I am blessed that there’s this bunch of people who thinks I deserve such treat. Special thanks to Rox and Faye for pulling this off, and to the rest of my Oracle Start Group (Drei, Oliver, Hazel, Annie, Tops, Cliff, Nyx, Rina, Sev, Lee, Maricar and late JohnF) for taking time out of their busy schedules to be present. This is super appreciated and congratulations to all of us!
