One Happy Debutante

When I turned 18, I really didn’t plan to have a very big party with 18 candles, 18 roses, gowns and all that. I just want it to be simple and spend it with my family and very close friends. I really didn’t ask for any gifts except for our trip to Hong Kong and sterling silver jewellery that I found few months before my birthday. Those were my only wishes for my 18th birthday and fortunately, our Hong Kong trip was granted and I was very happy and contented with that.

When we came at Hong Kong, we started looking around the places near our hotel. My mom and dad went somewhere else because they said they are looking for something that they want to buy and I was with my sisters and cousins strolling around the mall. We then decided to meet after three hours in our hotel so we can have our dinner together and proceed to another destination.

Before we separated, mom and dad gave me some money so I can buy whatever I like for my birthday. They gave me the freedom to choose whatever I want to buy and that served as another gift from them. I went to look around the mall and I found a bag at Lacoste but I was still hesitant to buy it because I’m still looking for my luck if I will be able to find silver bangles. I decided to leave the bag first and look for a better one. After all, I still got a lot of time.

When we came back at the hotel, I spotted my parents that they were hiding a box. I was curious so I asked them and they told me that it was just a box. I was a bit convinced and decided to let it go. When we were on our way to the restaurant, I felt that my parents were up to something. I tried to ignore but I really can’t help but think of it. When everybody is seated and waiting for our dinner, my mom gave me a box and when I opened it, it has sterling silver bracelets that is so fabulous.

I was definitely surprised and even much surprised when I found out that all of them knew about that except for me. Well, I can’t blame them because it was their surprise for me. Until now, I still can’t explain the joy that I felt during those times. Though I’m not asking for too much material things, they still want me to have something that I can keep through the rest of my life. I’m so glad and fortunate to have them. I really love my family so much!
