It was fun, memorable and full of surprises. Those were the first three things that came in my mind as I remember the event that had happened last June 11, 2009. A day when we celebrated the birthday of our dear CEO, Mr. Ramon Aseniero.

The memories are still fresh in my mind as we hurriedly took the time to do lettering on the cartolinas, cutted them one by one to form a “HAPPY BIRTHDAY JETT” letters, placed the balloons and of course practiced the Happy Birthday song while he went outside for a few minutes.  When we were rehearsing the song a couple of times, with our choreographed formation, our hearts were pounding - anxious that he might see the preparation we had made. Plus, the people who should be watching if he is coming cracked some jokes - knocking the door, pretended that they were Jett. (Makawerla, Hehehehe...) Our reactions??? We were really like little kids that time.

But there’s more because during the night before the clock hits 12midnight - nightshift people were also confused on what to do. We were caught in a situation where we asked ourselves a couple of times if we will greet him or not. You know the feeling of not being able to greet someone on his special day and he is miles away from his family. I believe Jett was really sad that time because he might be thinking nobody knew that it was his birthday. We pretended like we didn’t know and tried not to spill it till the morning shift people arrived. So deadma to the max talaga, as if normal nights lang. (Charmos!)

And guess what, the situation got more awkward because during wee hours we experienced an internet connection problem. And we thought that it was just a temporary interruption but we were wrong because it lasted for more than 8 hours. Can you imagine that one? We were idle in those hours. (Sa dihang ningcooperate jud ang panahon). What are we going to do? (Help! Hehehehe… )

So with that given situation, we then took the time to pass the card and let everyone wrote their birthday greetings - trying not to let Jett noticed the things that we were doing. Also, we were crossing our fingers that we could get the chance to finally greet and surprise him on that special day of his life. And that was it, when he went outside for a few minutes (relieved).

And as he opened the door, a birthday song finally greeted him and with a loud voice, we all said: Happy Birthday Jett! (chuckles) And a big smile and thank you words came out from him as responses. Then, he said: “picture sa guys, padala nko ni kay Kriss” - (not the exact words really but that was the thought).

You know what was so sweet??? The idea of surprise actually first came from his wife. She secretly sent us money for his birthday. And it also saved Jett’s day because the reason why he went outside was actually to withdraw money but ATM machines were offline. Hehehehe…

Hmmnn…truly a series of events right? A day we will never forget. It was also the first time that he celebrated his birthday here in Davao, with us. To Jett, we did our best to make you smile and surprised you. Belated Happy Birthday again! Continue to be a blessing to everyone! Take care and God bless you always.
