Ever since the end of high school, Tommy, Ande and I have been conducting mini-movie marathons. A significant fact about these marathons is that we watch at least one horror movie. And no, it is not because we are brave and unaffected; frankly, we scream at the first sign of alleged paranormal activities. Of course, there is also the unspoken rule of stuffing ourselves with tons of unhealthy, fattening junk food during all our movie marathon sessions.
Yesterday wasn't just any other movie marathon sesh though. Andrea and I decided to throw a very mini surprise birthday party for Tommy. Albeit not yet his birthday, Ande and I knew we had to do something even just remotely special for Tommy's eighteenth since both of us wouldn't be in Iloilo City on the exact date of his birthday.
Should you wonder why we didn't go all out on Tommy's surprise birthday (with oodles of people and whatnot), it's not because we didn't want to, rather because first of all, he doesn't like surprises anyway, and second of all, he's as much of an introvert as I am. There may be a third reason... One that involves money. Or the lack thereof.
The mini-surprise came in the form of a book, his favorite cheese ice cream, and red velvet cake. The ironic thing is, we were more surprised by the fact that Tommy treated us to lunch for his birthday. (Sorry we couldn't do much better, Tom, and thank you for the food!)
But damn son, you're lucky to have me and Andrea in your life to throw you these mini surprise parties. HE HE HE, just kidding. Or not. Anyway. Happy, happy birthday (in advance) to you! Apparently, I cannot deny the fact that your presence has significantly increased the quality of my life. Yep.
