My birthday isn’t in 13 days, but somehow, two crazy girls in Manila conspired to send me an early present. Thank you, G and V, for kicking off the festivities in true Maring style. Your birthday parcel made me do a little dance in my office when the mailroom person dropped it off, and will most probably make me do the same thing in the shower! (My new gifts are Pink Martini sugar scrub and shea lotion from Klean. So THAT’S why V was asking what I thought about the yummy bath-and-body line! Sneaky!)
You girls have known me for 14 birthdays! And now that I think about it, how many cities and countries have we had to endure between us over these years (too many to count!) ? Thank you for sticking with me through it all. Frankly, when all of us ended up in Math 1 together, I knew we’d be friends for life. 
Thank you again—lots of love and curly hugs from me!
