26 gifts

yesterday was tabs' birthday! though we didn't go somewhere and just stayed at his house, i felt really happy to have stayed with him for the day. the surprise i made for him, which was to give him 26 GIFTS FOR HIS 26TH BIRTHDAY really paid off because my honey was really very happy with the gifts. a lot of effort really came with planning that. kasi up until monday, i really didn't know what to give him. was thinking several gifts, had a budget, pero it wasn't organized and yet i wanted to make it special. come tuesday i went with cathy to bench and i bought the hair gel. Wednesday i finally came up with the idea for the 26 gifts so i rushed off to greenhills lunchtime to buy the controller and the ps 2 converter so he can use the controller in his pc, i remember they were discussing it with a guild-mate (online game MU) the weekend before and i knew tabs was thinking about buying one. i also though of giving him food, like snacks for when he stays at the office during the night, even texted him if they had a microwave oven at the office, he must think i was giving him one. heehee. when i got back to the office i built the list and to my horror i only had aroung 13 gifts! panic! panic! i emailed my closest officemates and friends asking for suggestions, thanks to them i got a few more items to my list: snoopy stuffed dog for mouse, pillow, cup noodles, mrt card, movie cards, aftershave. tabs asked for the shirt or polo and the shorts so that went to the list too. i even met tabs wednesday night and i wouldn't let him carry the stuff i bought because he might peek. heehee. i spent thursday lunchtime completing the list. when they asked us to go home easly on thursday i finally finished shopping for the 26 items. friday i was making the cute numbers and the gift cards so he can guess. i finished all the wrapping friday night. by saturday i was worry free. we didn't meet on saturday because i knew i'll be at his place on sunday. was planning on surprising him sunday but since he spent the night at the office we just met at went home together, which was ok since the gifts were bulky. all i can say was that i knew he was really happy with the gifts when he was opening them.
