I woke up from a not so rested sleep with the three men in my life singing "happy birthday" to me
. We had an early breakfast and the kids busily prepared themselves for the day's activity. The kids then reminded me on things i need to attend to since its their School's Christmas Party. I need to buy gifts and food. What a never-ending trip to stores i did since yesterday, starting with buying clothes for their party.
This is one of the times that my nerves are on a string. I bought gifts and food with my mother who came early from Lunao. Thank God, she was there to wrap the gifts. After giving the gifts and food, i made it sure that the kids had their seats. To my dismay, lawrence had no seat since most of the parents and yayas were the ones who occupied the seats intended for the kids.
I went to the teacher and speak out what's on my mind about that situation. It was just unimaginable, it's the kids xmas party and the adults were the ones making themselves comfortable
. Anyway, after settling the kids, i immediately went home and cooled myself at my Tita Agnes' office. I told her what happened and she advised me on what to do the next time that such situation occurs.
After lunch, the kids arrived and then displayed the gifts they received from their classmates. Theo received a kite, Lawrence received a yoyo and a car toy which he gave to Jude (a cousin) and Sweet received 3 large "Natasha" hankies. She wondered why she wasn't given a toy. I reminded her to be thankful and not to complain. Then they had a wonderful time playing with the toys they received (only the guys).
Tonight, we will go to Lunao and will have a simple dinner with my mama, lola and sister. I just wished my Ate Tata and Ken are present also. By early morning, we will leave since i have to go on a morning shift duty. Birthdays are only once a year and if i will be given a chance to have a wish come true, I wish that for this year, we will be able to celebrate Christmas together. 
By the way, let me share my mama's text msg."Ling, I pray to God that all your wishes will come true throughout the years. Be happy. Happy Birthday." What a nice text message.
