I guess the title says it all. It was the best birthday I've had.

I spent the morning lounging about by the pool, chilling over the sun with my best friend. After which we had pasta and pizza for lunch. After much stories, jokes and a full stomach, we ended up dozing after the morning's activities.

3ish onwards was spent with the bowling team at training. Had a crappy game but that didn't dampen my mood. Mat came early, while Nica surprised me with some yummy cupcakes. Oliver and JA popped in as well with their gift.

It was on for dinner at Katips with the team and Mat. On the ride from Ortigas to Katipunan, I managed to read the letter that Jaki wrote me. "It's the nicest and sweetest thing anyone can write", I told Mat after. I also managed to open Casey's gift which was a shirt aptly saying "Town Drunk".

Dinner was awesome. We had a whole room to ourselves, the company was great, and the food was savory. After chowing down everything, each one had a shot for well wishes. Tot brought in the laughter after downing the shot so quickly which caused him to cough and turn red.

The gang went to Banapple for dessert and boy was their Super Caramel a DESSERT! Tried my birthday luck at poker afterwards but I guess as they say "the house always wins" ; meaning Scott wracked in the chips.

Going home, had the usual chat with Tot... and it was all about thanks and wondering as to how for the first time in 22 years, that November 10... didn't feel like just any other day... but a little more special.

Thanks you guys.
