  • My Birthday :)

    By now, I'm two days late in posting this but its always late than never right?  Memorable moments come and go so it's definitely important to keep track of them so as to not lose sight of them when I need them in the future.

    I still remember that morning when I was cramming like crazy to get to the train station so as to not miss the West Coast Express.  I probably looked a bit frantic to people but fortunately, I managed to secure a seat after someone left their spot at the Port Moody station.  There were a bunch of ladies sitting beside me who were laughing away like crazy.

    Work was normal but in the afternoon I managed to have lunch with both Sue, Bratt, Ann, Jenn, and Jan and then had a walk through the park with Jenn and Dana.  Came back to the office and worked on some stuff before Nicole called me in to Lori's office to have a "meeting".  Turns out Nicole bought me some cupcakes for birthday and they wrote me a mini birthday card which I have now somewhere tucked in my drawer.  I was quite happy for the mini surprise.  We talked for a bit, and then I went out and worked a little more before I packed my stuff to leave.  I couldn't make it for the 4:50 train so I ended up riding the 5:30 and arrived at Coquitlam at 6.  Rushed over to Milestones where I had a fast but nice dinner with my mom and cousins.  Caryl and Rodery were there too so all the while they were very excited and kept on taking pictures of me and mom.  :)

    Apparently Milestones has a birthday deal.  As long as you registered online for their deal with your birth date information and bring the coupon they send you via email with your identification to the restaurant, they will provide you with a free entree.  The only condition is that it's on your actual birthday and that you bring three other friends along who order three actual entrees.  But common, it's still worth it right?

    Dessert came to be my birthday cake, which I ordered from Dairy Queen.  But as I was eating the oh so delicious cake, I couldn't help but remember how it was like last year.  And I missed it dearly.  I truly miss my friends from exchange and remembered how they spent so much time to create a mini celebration for me.  Karen and Bonnie took the time to create me a cheesecake as well as Bernia's fruit cake.  Those times were unforgettable and will forever remain in my little tiny heart :)
