Wala talaga ako plano sa birthday ko dahil wala akong kasama to celebrate it with at continues ang ulan dito sa Baguio. I never got to celebrate my birthday last year and I don't want that to happen again. I decided to message a Redditor and luckily he was available to meet with me during the day kahit na may work siya mamayang gabi.

So wala akong idea kung saan pwede kumain. Sabi niya masarap daw humigop (panay ulan kasi dito). I suggested hot pot and we agreed to that. Limited lang hot pot dito sa Baguio kaya sa SM yung best choice namin.

So the day during my birthday, I met up with him, and we gave each other a hug. Initially, sa Nabe kami kakain kaso mahaba yung waiting time, so we decided na sa Tong Yang na lang. 

Buffet style sa Tong Yang so at first overwhelming kasi hindi namin alam kung anong gagawin haha pero nakapili naman kami kung ano yung ilalagay sa soup at kung ano pwede lutuin sa griller. Ang funny lang kasi bigla nagplay yung Happy Birthday song and there's only one crew na pumunta sa table namin para ibigay yung mini cake. Walang sayawan o palakpakan na naganap kaya si fellow Redditor ang naghype para sa akin. Sobrang tagal ng birthday song parang "All Too Well (10 mins ver.)" siya hahaha

We talked and laughed about a lot of things while we ate. From life experiences, struggles, future hangouts, values and beliefs in life. The celebration was simple pero I enjoyed it a lot with him. I like solitude pero masaya din pala kapag may kasama ka sa special day mo. No man is an island. I would like to be surrounded by my family, friends, and loved ones this time. 

First time kong magcelebrate ng birthday ko with a Redditor
