SURPRIIIIIISE!

susan, being the great friend she is, planned a surprise birthday party for me this past saturday at chomps. i seriously love this girl.

here are some pictures from that night! (courtesy of susan, of course)

as you can see, i was very surprised (and don't you love susan's outfit?!):

and as you can also see, i didn't hesitate to start doing this:

funny story: i was pretty (&secretly) disappointed that my friend jin (left) didn't get me anything for my birthday considering we see each other every tuesdays and thursdays for kickboxing class. i regret ever doubting her!

was overjoyed to see these faces there:

what can i say, i love this girl:

thanks for coming, guys:

funny story #2: the random old white guy in the back requested we take a picture together on their way out. the girl next to him had a birthday celebration that day too! oh, and look at rayray in the back lol

originally, i was supposed to have dinner with susan specifically at chomps to devour this (explosion roll):

where blue moons and midori sours unite in happiness - cheers, susan!:

surprised yet again, esp. b/c they were spongebob and patrick cupcakes!
(2 patricks and 4 spongebobs.. get it? huh? huh?)

susan, you are the best for making these:

from catty (you can see what else she got me on my myspace):

from jin:

this is about the time when i thought to myself that susan is TOO MUCH for drawing / making this spongebob card for me:

and then i was proven wrong b/c she outdid herself by giving me an engraved ipod shuffle:

and lastly was dennis' card which i thought was hilarious:

nothing could have made my 24th better. i thought going to SF was the ultimate birthday blessing but this surprise party made me realize that there's no greater birthday gift than being with the people you love! thank you AGAIN susan for planning and sweating over this. and for the rest of you slicksters... thanks for making it successful!
