Tomorrow i'll be turning 18, hindi ako makapaniwala na mag 18 na ako bukas, ang bilis ng oras.

Parang dati lang nag lalaro ako ng barbie at natutulog ng tanghali para makalabas ng hapon.

Parang dati lang gustong gusto ko mag 18 agad.

Pero ngayon gustong gusto ko bumalik sa pag ka bata, i miss my childhood years.

Tomorrow a lot of change will come, a lot of unexpected things will happen, i decided to celebrate my birthday here, my parents is already on their way here in the Philippines.

They already took care of everything which i'm thankful for.

I look at the clock and it's already 10 pm, two more hours before midnight, tonight Bea will be sleeping beside me.

Ricci haven't call or texted me today, i don't know what his deal but he's ignoring my texts and calls.

Bakit kung kelan bukas na yung birthday ko, two hours away yung birthday ko hindi niya pa ako pinapansin.

Nasaktan ako nung nireject niya yung call ko, hindi ko alam kung anong problema nun nakalimutan niya ata na birthday ko na bukas.

Tinigilan ko na mangulit sakanya kanina nung sinabi ni Bea na hayaan ko daw muna si Ricci baka may ngyare lang daw or kaya busy.

I am currently sitting on my balcony and staring up at the night sky.

Pinipigilan ko sarili kong umiyak, ever since na dumating si Ricci sa buhay ko ang daming nag bago saakin, naging iyakin ako, naging sobrang protective at selosa.

Mga ganung bagay, i know for someone its just small things but for me it isn't.

Kakabalik lang namin nung galing sa trip namin lahat, okay naman kami ni Ricci ewan ko lang kung anong ngyare ngayon kung bakit hindi niya ako pinapansin.

I'm deeply hurt by his actions, first time ni Ricci ako gantuhin.

Ayoko mag isip ng kung ano ano because its not my thing, hindi kase ako yung taong magiisip ng kung ano ano tapos mag aassume na ganun yung ngyare and it turns out na hindi pala.

Saka hindi pa kami ni Ricci, nililigawan palang niya ako.

I really like Ricci and i know he likes me too.

Do you?

I still wonder kung anong nagustuhan saakin ni Ricci, i mean kase hindi naman ako yung masasabing ideal girl ng lalaki.

Boyish ako, i have a weird laugh, i wear baggy clothes, hindi ako nag mamakeup, mas gustuhin ko pang mag laro ng PS4 kesa mag makeup, mas pipiliin kong matulog kesa gumimik, i always tie my hair.

Hindi ko naiiwasan na maisip na kaya siguro lang ako ni Ricci nagustuhan kase kasama niya ako palagi.

Alam niyo yun kahit hindi niya naman gusto yung tao pero ng dahil kasama mo siya palagi nagustuhan mo na siya kase siya yung palagi mong nakikita.

Wag naman sana.

I look at the clock and its already 12:00am, i look up at the sky and close my eyes.

Happy Birthday to me....

I opened my eyes once again and went straigh to my bed, Bea is already sleeping beside me.

Tinidnan ko yung phone ko, and still wala parin sign ng paramdam ni Ricci.

I decided to give it a rest muna, i close my eyes and let the darkness take me.

----------------------

----------------------

I heard shuffling around me and loud whispers.

I slowly opened my eyes, medyo malabo pa, i sit up and rubbed my eyes.

Once na umayos na yung vision ko, sinalubong ako ng madaming confetti and balloons all over the floor and ceiling.

I'm too shock of what i'm seeing right now, tinidnan ko yung mga balloons na naka lutang sa ceiling, may string sila at yung sa dulo kada balloon may picture.

Tumayo ako at isa isa kong tinidnan yung pictures.

Pictures namin ng Gang at kaming dalawa ni Ricci and mostly yung mga pictures ni Ricci saakin na patago.

I look around my room, sa may taas ng head board ko may letter ballons na nakalagay.

Napangiti ako, there's a bouquet of flowers sa night stand ko, nilapitan ko at kinuha ko.

I smelled it and read the card.

Happy Birthday to you, i know you're upset because i haven't text or call you back, its because i'm busy, busy planning this all.

You deserve the best Gabbi because you're amazing - Ricci

Biglang may nag pasabog ng confetti, nagulat ako at napalingon ako bigla, revealing my friends and Ricci, Ricci is holding a cake with candles, they all have huge smiles on their faces.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY BIRTHDAYY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GABRIELLA!" they all sang, i blow all the candles and they cheered, i hugged each one of them and lastly Ricci.

"thank you" i whispered, Ricci rubbed my back, hindi umaalis yung ngiti sa bibig ko.

Namula ako kase ngayon ko lang napansin yung backround song is 'ILYSB stripped version'

I'm beyond bless, hindi ko ma explain kung gaano ako kasaya ngayon, i thanked them all.

After a few hours of staying in my room, sadly it has to ends, kailangan na namin mag prepare for my debut, my parents has been calling me nonstop.

We finally arrived at the venue at sinalubong ako ng parents ko with heart warming smiles.

Niyakap ko sila parehas.

"Happ Birthday to our only daughter" sabi ni dad and kissed my forehead.

"Happy Birthday babygirl" sabi ni mom and kissed my cheek, i'm so blessed for having such an amazing family and friends.

I'm finally done with my look, mom's stylist is the best, i look like a real princess.

My gown is really fluffy and big, it's color red, mom was the one who picked it up, mom has really good sense of fashion, i trust her taste and she never failed to surprise me.

Mom told me that all the guest are finally here, ako nalang yung iniintay.

Lets just say medyo kinakabahan ako.

Asa tapat na ako ng malaking pinto, once na buksan to bubungad ako agad sa mga guest, i close my eyes and calm myself.

After that i nodded my head, the guard opened the door slowly.

This is it.

Hindi ko pinansin si Gabbi buong araw, sinadya ko yun, i am preparing her a surprise for tomorrow and thr boys helped me.

So yung plano ko, isusurprise namin siya lahat pagkagising niya.

Maaga kaming lahat pumunta sa unit nila dala dala lahat ng materials, dahan dahan namin lahat nilagay sa kwarto ni Gabbi, natutulog siyang mahimbing.

I smiled at her sleeping face, she is indeed beautiful, even when she's sleeping she is still beautiful as ever.

I really like her.

Like literal.

The surprise was a success, sobrang saya ko at sobrang saya namin lahat.

Right now andito na kami sa venue, just waiting for Gabbi to come out, once na lumabas siya dun palang magsisimula yung party.

We are all waiting for this huge door to open, dito daw kase lalabas si Gabbi.

Habang nagiintay nakatingin lang ako pinto, Gabbi invited my family and they are all here.

Actually ang daming tao dito, puro friends and family ni Gabbi.

All of a sudden dahan dahan bumukas yung malaking door kung saan namin iniintay na lumabas si Gabbi.

We all stood up and waited for Gabbi to come out.

A girl in red gown came out with a nervous smile over her face.

My jaw immediately dropped, Gabbi is beyond beautiful, she looks like a princess that came out of a fairytale book.

No words can explain how beautiful she is right now, i'm completely speechless.

We all watched her in silence then all of a sudden loud applause came, Gabbi is smiling at everyone.

Once her eyes landed on me my heart accelerated, my throat began to dry.

It feels so surrel, Gabbi is like an angel that came down from the sky, she is breathtaking.

She smiled at me and walk closer to me, nanigas ako sa kinkatayuan ko, kakalabas palang ni Gabbi sa pinto na yun at ako agad pupuntahan niya.

I feel so damn special.

Nung asa harap ko na si Gabbi, she has her signature grin over her face.

"ano tititigan mo nalang ba ako?" tanong niya habang nakalagay yung kamay niya sa hips nya na parang nanay.

Naubo ako at nagising ako sa katotohanan, everyone is watching us, Gabbi is the highlight of this party, and that highlight is infront of me, it feels like im dreaming but the difference is that im wide awake.

"may nanalo na" sabi ko sabay tawa silang lahat, natawa si Gabbi.

"masyado ko bang ginalingan?" tanong ni Gabbi, i nodded and chuckled.

This girl is really something.
