Our birthday girl

It was Conne’s birthday yesterday and we were able to give out a surprise party for her.

I’ve been a recipient of some surprise birthday parties in the past thanks largely in part to her. To finally be able to return the favor to the one I love was indeed very important and special to me. I’d like to thank her ComQuaL buddies and colleagues for making it possible. Thanks Kim, Aileen, Maan, Ester, and Allan. 🙂

The food was great, and the conversation topics were very entertaining. Eating was a struggle because I was trying to stifle bouts of laughter every now and then largely due to the funny anecdotes given by everyone, particularly on the topic of namesakes, or how a person’s name got to be.

Ah, Oh well. Had Conne not been born, I wouldn’t have had someone to express my heartfelt thanks to for coming into my life, for giving me a chance, and for changing my outlook for the better. I wouldn’t have someone to grow old and share my life with.

Her two handsome boys (me and CJ of course – Hah!), owe her a lot.

We love you, mahal! Happy Birthday!
