| Birthday greetings July 07 |

I was supposed to post this on Monday, but I was sick the past two days. Thankfully, it’s not the flu or anything, just the usual coughs and colds. The road to and from the office can get dirty, after all. Better late than never, I hope.
July 6
Today is Jennifer's birthday.
As with Kenneth, I first met her in 2006. I met her through her sister and her circle or friends. As with most first meetings, it was pretty awkward. I only knew her through Deviant Art and the message board(s) she and her sister frequented. I even remember my mistakes that day. I talked too much and probably came off as rude and over-familiar. Worse, I inadvertently opened a spare box of pizza. As such her friends help polish of pizza that was meant for her family. How embarrassing!
Thankfully, I was able to say sorry. The next few meetings were better. Thanks to her reminders, I was better behaved (and brought extra food). It was through these extra meetings that I got to know more about her. I became more comfortable in time.
It was during a December trip to I learned many things on the trip. The long hours on the buses and the stops beaches of Pangasinan and the Batad terraces were perfect places for debate, discussion, and getting to know a person more.
She wears her heart on her sleeve. She loves her family. She doesn’t really leave you guessing. She says – or shows- how she feels. She loves thought-provoking or heartwarming quotes and Bible passages. Most interesting of all, she and her siblings adored the Crocodile Hunter series, to the point that they'd imitate Irwin. (I thought I was the only one who liked the dude who did.)
Happy birthday once again, and thank you! You've affected my life in a positive way. Best wishes with regards to your current plans.
