DIVE INTO ........ THE BITTERSWEET
THE CENTURY OF
FUTURE NOSTALGIA.
February 25th. Eros asked me whether or not I'm still looking for an organizer for my unplanned Birthday Party. I was both confused and kinakabahan, syempre, I know nothing about planning events, even my own birthday.
February 27th came along and it was the organizers, Ms. Kayleen and Ms. Tsuna, and I first met. Our scheduled meeting was at 2:30PM and that lasted on for almost 7 hours, surprisingly. The Mother-Daughter Duo's hard work and dedication into what they do is one of the things I respect and admire about them. How they handled everything so intricately and with ease makes my mind blown to this day.
Alas, we finally found a team of Editors who helped put out everything together: the Pubmats, Layouts, Moodboards, and anything else there is that has the shades of Purple in the venue. Everything was styled just how I've imagined—maybe even better.
The only thing that's left to find is another Emcee. I've asked several of my friends whom have they known to have confidence and entertain on-stage without fright. Fortunately, a very special ate of mine had volunteered to lend her presence despite of her busy schedule. My pretty Ate Ellie, if you're reading this, I love you so, so much; you hold a dear place in my heart.
HAPPY 21ST YEAR OF LIVING
March 9th
My friends, family, and even people I'm not close with greeted me on my special day. Friends from overseas, on rest, and people I've lost contact with suddenly turning up to remind me of the day I shine the brightest. It was truly wonderful and I hope I could remember all of it if only my memory isn't that bad.
WILLOW, BRITISH SHORTHAIR CAT

My favorite person gets a special mention here as well, he gave me a cat on my birthday! It's something I always wanted to have but couldn't, I'm really thankful he gave it to me; he even helped me pick out the name! To my favorite person who's currently on a month-long rest at the moment, I hope this short selection of text finds its way to you. I miss you, Alas and Yael included. We miss having someone to pick on whenever we get bored. /j
READY FOR BLAST OFF!
My big day is finally here! It's the party my friends and I have been anticipating for a couple of days now! By the time I'm writing this, the party is almost to its end. Some couldn't make it due to their busy schedules OOC, still, wished me a good luck and a happy birthday. I'll admit, it was kind of sad, seeing as to how I've been wanting to spend the rest of my day with these people. Though, all is well regardless of the outcome. I hope everyone had a great time like I did, kahit na nalalabas pagiging palamura ko roon sa GDM.
To my now favorite band DZE Ulayaw, you guys played great tonight, amazing as always! Kayo unang pumasok sa isipan ko when the Event Organizers asked me which band would I like to play for my party. To my Verene who's rocking out the world and showing who's one of the best, you shined more than ever in my eyes tonight. Keep on showing the world your talent, my Ver! I will always and forever be proud of you.
To the Plus Ones of my guests! We may not know each other, yet you made this day extra special for me by lending your time to come and celebrate with me! Sana maging ka-close ko rin kayo, mabait naman ako most times, that I can confirm. Ask your friends pa. But anyway, thank you for being here with me kahit na we're complete strangers pa!
To my beloved guests, thank you so, so much for sharing this day with me. I really do appreciate your time and effort to come just to see me happy. My family and friends: Diaz, MMD, KBS, Smai, Ritwal, Ate Harper and Kuya Luc, and friends whom I've grown close with individually (y'all know who you are), thank you. And I know I let these words slip out of my mouth more often, I mean this one from the bottom of my heart, I love you all.
I don't know what else to say as I'm not the best when it comes to expressing my feelings, but I want to thank you all for coming and I love you all very, very much. You've made this day one of the most unforgettable memories I've had and I'll forever treasure it.
(Also, if you noticed that I took some time on my plottings—I really did, on the spot silang lahat. I'm sorry, Ms. Kay, pls forgib me TT)
XOXO, JULIETTE LILAC.
