Kim’s Birthday

One Tuesday morning, I was quite surprised for my high school friend, Kimberly Mae Llabore texted and called me; inviting me to attend and celebrate her 18th birthday this coming Saturday. I was surprised for she had said that her super close friends are the one who’s invited. We are at the same course but with different schools. She pleaded me to come over and celebrate with her for I have told her that I had a duty on that day, I told her I would go if and only if I am not so stressed on that day then she hangs up.

Saturday came. I was not stressed that day. But I could not come for my parents do not allow me to for the party will start at around 6pm. “That’s already late and you’ve just got home from your duty at RPH,” my dad said. I texted Kim and told her I can’t come. I got no reply, just a call :)). No, not just a call from her, instead from her mom telling me and encouraging me to come. I can’t say NO for I, myself want to go. Then I pleaded my parents. They allowed me but with 2 conditions – they will drop me right in front of my friend’s house and I will not go home at our house here in Cogeo instead I should sleep over my cousin’s house in Simeona, Marikina for my friend’s house is just a jeepney away.

The celebration started. It is not that formal – no gowns and tuxedos at all but I had a lot of fun. Only 5 high school friends were invited. The rest were college friends but we got along each other smoothly. Though it’s not formal, we had 18 candles, 18 dances and so on. I am included in her 18 candles. We said our own speeches in front of her and that left her crying because for almost three years we do not forget them memories we had in the past.

It’s almost 12 in the midnight when we decided to go home. It’s really a fun night. We took a lot of pictures as a remembrance and posted it in our own facebook accounts the day after it has happened.
