Awesomeness Overload

I got more than I had wished for, and I am so thankful.

Story of 24th Birthday

Usually I don’t do this, but last Wednesday was so awesome, I just have to write about it.

Before my birthday, my boyfriend and my best friend had told me that they will be buying me 2PM DVDs. I didn’t expect anyone would really take my wishlist that seriously, so for a week all I could say was: “Yolsihmi gongbuhamnida!”, that means “I will work harder”. The least I can do at the moment is to not disappoint you guys and work harder to be a better girlfriend/best friend. ^__^

So my birthday finally arrives.  I was very happy to be able to speak with my grandpa and grandma by phone, and receive wishes from my family and friends. It was really daebakk (awesome). As usual, as it was Wednesday, I was going to eat dinner with my friend, Erin. And it turns out, my boyfriend had asked her to prepare a little surprise for me that night. I was really speechless and thankful, because honestly it’s not easy to spend special days such as birthdays and Christmas or New Year when you’re living in a foreign land. Especially, when you’ve just been there for no more than 3 months. You haven’t really made that many close friends to celebrate stuff together, so I was really, really happy.

That night, I got to eat dinner with some of my friends here, blow out candles, and eat birthday cake! Yay!! I could only think of the word “daebakk“, because it was really awesome that I could celebrate my birthday. We took some pictures, and then my friend showed me some presents that my boyfriend had had prepared for me.  I got a bonus panda bear! \(^o^)/

My mom and dad were also celebrating on their own back in Medan. They went out to eat cake, and posted about it in our family’s messenger group. LOL. I wished my sister and brother could eat cake too that night, though. Hmm. When we meet, we will eat cake! Really yummy cakes, like the ones from Tizi, or Harvest, or Cizz. Gahh. :-p

All this awesomeness made me reflect a lot. Come to think of it, when I had my 17th birthday in Belgium far from my family and friends, I also got a surprise party. It was arranged by my host family. The Lord is so good to me. In the end, it really isn’t about celebrating, but about remembering that I have so much love in my life. I really feel blessed, and to be honest, I feel undeserving of all this. I am really, really, grateful for my family, my boyfriend and my friends. I really want to make them super happy in return, so all I can say for now is that I will work hard and do my best. Yolsihmi gongbuhamnida!!!
