My best friend Van celebrated her 23rd Birthday last October 9.  And yearly we would meet (Cess, Van, and I) for just a little something something to celebrate it.  So I make sure that date(s) that fall near or Oct 9 is always free.

For those of you who doesn't know yet let me introduce you to my to bestest friends in the whole wide world...

so starting from the left is Me (obvious) then Van, the birthday celebrant, and  Cess. A little history, they are my best friends since high school.  Van and I went in the same college while Cess went to St. Paul's, never the less we all kept an open communication with each other, we would even meet up once a month just for our "drinking session". 

This year, we decided its about time we had our group picture taken, to update our old 'studio' photos.. so we started to look for a decent studio in glorietta...and we end up joining the Hershey Happiness contest.

 Guess where we went next?? clues...

Hahaha.. obvious? where else, our favorite place (next to van's house of course) we are hooked on Red Box and we are damn serious about our singing! LOL!  so here are more random pictures...

The birthday girl...

What can I say about my girl friends... I thank God everyday that I got to have such beautiful, talented, and very wonderful friends.. I think no words can describe how much we all went through together (is it already 10 long years??) ... my extended family...

Van's Song (Happy 23rd Birthday Van!)

Real (by Plumb)

Look at me I'm twenty three
Beautiful a sight to see
Tonight

A little dress to draw the press
And I'll be leaving
All the rest behind

Well be pleased girl
If this is what you wanted
The whole world is watching you take the stage
What will you say

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something
Real

I close my eyes imagine time
Will not forget
My sacrifice

I numb the ache and decorate
My emptiness
Stand naked in the light

Well be pleased world
If this is what you wanted
This young girl is everything that you made
What will she say

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something
Real

The world goes home
The lights go down
My lipstick fades
Away

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something
Real

Aren't I lovely
And do you want me cause
I am hungry for something that will make me real
Can you see me and
Do you love me cause
I am desperately searching for something
Real
