I think nowadays, it is very usual with girls to have a boy bestfriend, may he be straight, bi-sexual or homosexual, and vice versa. Thank GOD, mine's straight, as far as I know. Hahaha. No offense bez. O_o And what i mean for bestfriend is, he is the only one. There are some who are very close to me like with the same gender, but then again, the bond i had with him is incomparable. Yeah, as in we've been through a lot of trials which tested the firmness of our friendship, and I think that's normal. And what's important is, our friendship stands still. :)
Anyways, this is a super mega late post. I should've made this like two weeks ago to feel the freshness and recency but, shit happens. Hahaha. Was sick for a week, measles plus flu, colds and cough! One time big time illness. Yikes! The supposedly holy week vacation was extended for another sick week vacation. Isn't that a good experience huh? Summer indeed!
This entry is for my bestfriend. His name is Robel Cabalo, but those who are relatively close to him, they call him Rb, and me? I call him BEZ.
First picture taken when he arrived here for his review. :)
The highlight of this post is his birthday, whereby I prepared a simple birthday token for him with the help of a few common friends, a few of his friends and a few of his relatives and family. Thanks a bunch to all of you! :)
Here it is!!!
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY BEZ... :)

I love you friend.

Happy 21st!!
-Jo Anne Ortega 
*Dear Bella,
You were born that way so you should accept the fact na you're not perfect.. Me too... Whatever the imperfections that you have and what you did there's still chance for you to make those things right even not so much...
Hmmm in this special day, make it productive one.
Hmmm. I want to start this by greeting you a happy birthday. Para diretso na, dun din naman pupunta 'to eh! Hahaha. Make this day a special one. Spend your day with your family. Ofcourse you're not here, if not because of them. Graduate ka na di ba? Kung ganun man, find a job na para matupad mo yung dream mo na maiahon sila sa poverty. (Ako nga wala pa! Hahaha.) Yung mga girls, huwag muna please. Kahit may "FES" (face) ka e go na ng go. Agurnong ka pay ketdi. Bamta agita babai. Aglalaki ka pay ketdi, nalaklaka lang bassit. Hehehe. Basta focus ka muna sa goals mo ha? Para winner sa life!
Happy bday Robella! Libre mo kami ng chicken joy at chicken pops! Hahaha.
P.S.
Pasimuno si Junah dito, igreet ka daw namin.
-Keith bagtit ngem pintas at sexy na

-Rosalie Cortez 
*Robel,
Hey buddy! Surprise much? :D
Wishing you a happy and blessed 21st birthday! You are finally considered as a grown ass man! Welcome to the real world. I don’t have much to say unfortunately since we did not really have that much communication after I left the country but you have made an impact to my life and to all of us ( your high school friends) that no matter how far the distance parted us, you’ve always been considered as one of my good friends. I wish you good health and more lucks on whatever you may want to partake in life. Happy 21st Birthday!!!!
Ps: I am back home on April 14- May 12! Would love to see you all!!!!

*Hei rb, balita ko mgdedebut ka daw, magiging ganap ka ng dalaga este binata pala as you reach your 21st bday.. ;) i remember way back when we're still eLem, you have your own plans regarding your future and it turned out that really things changed as you grow oLd. You're now in your point of reaching your biggest dream as far as career is concern.. Sa ngayon siguro, ramdam mo na ang pressure dahil malapit lapit na ang board exam nyo. I know the feeling, at eto lang ang maishashare ko sayo. Just do your part, review very well and leave the result to God.. Think positive and claim even rightt now that you already conquered the board exam.. And when that time comes, be humble and give thanks to the One who gives you the wisdom, the Giver of everything.. Congrats in advance!;)
Happy happy birthday and may God fulfill your wishes in life.. pakabait, Tumatanda kana.. hehe Godbless!
P.S.
"Therefore, whatever you ask for in prayer, beLieve that you have received it and it will be yours" Mark 11:24
Hold on to this promise.. Godbless sa board!

*It's your bday again my dear. It's time for you again to make a few wishes and blow out your candles. And I just want to tell you a few wishes of mine. First, I wish you lots of warm and sunny days, the same kind of days whenever you get together with your loved ones. We may not have those kind of days together, but I'm looking forward for the sunny and rainy days with you. I also wish that life has lots of nice gifts in store for you. Like good health and a happy heart. And finally, I wish that all your special dreams come alive even the quiet ones you keep to yourself. So, dreambig this year and I know there are many people aroun like me who think the world of you and hope everything goes your way. Godbless!
-Pearl Angelic Somera

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBEL!!!MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS AND WISHES BE REALIZED.. And i wish that you and junah will tie the knot in the nearest future!!!
-Ma'am Leonida Sison 
*I really don't know if you'll be surprised because of this. Kinda thinkin' many times if this will atleast make you realize your worth as a human being. Hahaha. I kid you not. I mean it! You're 21 now bez. And I'm expecting you to be... No, instead I'm wishing you to be thinking and acting like a mature man already. Am not saying you're totally an immature one, well, for sometimes. If I'm wrong you can appeal though. It's your day, I'm giving you the right to do so. Haha.
Well, you know, I've been planning this whole thing for like months. Seriously. It was hard coz' I'm not sure if I'll be able to make something different out of this. I had only one solid goal. And that is to make you feel special on your birthday through these messages from your family, batchmates, friends and mentors. And thanks to most of them they cooperated so well. I tried reaching a few but they weren't able to give theirs. But it's okay. Hahaha. This is just simple. It's cheap. It's effortless. But what makes it one of a kind? YOU! Yes, it's because of you bez. I really hope you will like this. Wishful thinking? Hahaha.
I still have lots to say but, i guess i need not to write down all those stuffs here. Coz you should know by now how much I care for you, how much I thank God for giving you as my bestfriend, how much i love you and lastly how much i treasure our friendship. Feel that? Haha. Happy happy good friday birthday bez. Wattah timing! Haha. As what most others' wish, I also wish you good health, happiness and continue to be a blessing to your family. And above all, my One solid wish is for you to pass the board exam. Success all the way! Am praying so hard for that. I know you'll make it happen. Way ahead bez! You just need a little more push on that. Kamown, just believe! Negative vibes shoooooooo! Haha.
Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEZ! Hugs and kisses. You already :)
-Bez 
*Happy birth anniversary kuya rb.... May this year bring u all things that makes you smile. Age is all but a number. :) Hope your birthday is just the beginning of a year full of hapinness. Again, Happy birthday kuya ..
-Abigail Damaso 
*Often times, we are overwhelmed by the volume of work that we do everyday and all things in between. That’s why we block the view of God’s blessings--- One of which is to meet people who turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones and can definitely be called winners in their own right. I was given the distinct and singular honor to greet my loving pamangkin... I am not just elated, but excited. I am very proud my son. This is it already. I know you can make it, though... Quote unquote... Just put in your mind and plant in your heart, nothing changed. I’m always your Dadz forever... Happy birthday! Goodluck to your chosen field of human endeavor... Don’t worry, I’m always here praying for you everynight... Godbless...
-Dadz 
*Kuya happy happy birhday to you. Ehehehe sensya kuya tagalog, kasi d ko alam masyado mag-english eh.. Hehe. 21 ka na kuya malapit ka na mag-asawa.. Uhmmm... Wala ako masabi kuya kasi di ako sanay sa mga ganito eh. Nung ginagawa ko 'tong letter ko sa'yo, di ko alam kung paano ko sisimulan kasi wala ako maisip.. Ayaw ko naman magdrama kasi baka maiyak ka... Uhmmm, alam mo ba na nakailang sheet ako ng papel ko kasi di ko alam kung ano ba sasabihin ko sa'yo.. Uhmmm, basta thanks sa kabutihan mo sa amin kahit makulit kami ni Maebelle. Salamat din kasi binibilhan mo pa din kami ng gifts kahit wala ka ng pera. Ehehe. Kuya, sana di ka magbago samin ha? Ingat ka lang lagi kuya.. Alagaan mo sarili mo.. Tsaka pinagdadasal namin na sana kuya makapasa ka sa board exam. Wag mo isipin na hindi mo kaya. Magtiwala ka lang sa sarili mo. Wag ka masyado mag-isip ng ganun kasi baka yun yung magdown sa'yo. Isipin mo para yun kila mama at papa. Kaya mo yan kuya. Wag ka mawalan ng pag-asa. Iloveyou kuya.. Mwuah.. Happy happy birthday to you.. Imissyou!
P.S.
Kuya, hindi na nakagawa sila Mama, Papa at Maebelle. Kasi si mama busy sa barangay. Si papa sa farm naman kasi tumutulong siya dun. Tapos si Maebelle, ayun wala daw siya maisip. Ehehe...
-Lovely Cabalo 
*My dear son,
Hope the arrival of my awaited short message reach you in good health and good condition. How's your exam my dear son? I have nothing to say but happy birthday anak. Sana'y tuloy tuloy ang kabaitan mo due to since birth 'til now, wala kaming masabi ng papa mo. Napakabait mong anak. I love you so much anak and i miss you a lot!
-Love and care, Mama 
Here is the token. This is what it looks like!
And here are some photos taken when Bez opened the gift and read the messages :)
