Owing to modern day tools of communication, birthday greetings can literally come in truckloads. I see it appropriate to thank ARPANET and its then constituents for starting the Internet and Antonio Meucci, Alexander Graham Bell, Guglielmo Marconi and John Logie Baird for their contribution in their respective fields.
.

Now for the more personal bits. Heartfelt thanks go my Man Blog homies for their fantabulous virtual gifts and great friendship (read about all this in the “Happy Birthday Freck Dandapita!” thread in the TMB Forum. If you find the title sort of misleading, that’s entirely attributable to this LOL Receipts post I made in the past):
To Anne for starting the thread; to thegreatest for patiently waiting for my first vinyl record to come out (patience man, it’s gonna be a loooooong wait); to Helga for giving me two people who are more than willing to submit to all my perversions (one’s a Jesuit and the other, Jessica Sierra); to Joel Ramos aka Thor for the very profound equation; to Lauren for sponsoring my free field day in the spa; to Baddie for just having an awesome unibrow avatar; to Pau for the Sandman bookends (FTW?! I want those fuhrealz!); to Sharon for the sumptuous bowl of authentic La Paz batchoy; to Steel Ramil Bakal for exhuming Freddie Mercury just to do my bidding for a the day; to Ade for making me realize how others really see me as the hunk in that self-pic (whoduthunk, right?!); to Squid for the beautiful “painting” depicting the origin of the universe (tears!); to Coquito Von Tito aka Coco who rekindled my sort-of-lost passion for climbing by giving me not just one but TWO climbing buddies (can I also make them my secks slaves? No? Kk); to Mads for the lurv pic; to Meedowree aka Princessita for the promise that she will keep (saved and prntscrnd for future reference); to Mikey for telling the world that everyone who will impersonate Madam Hooch will answer to me (ass!); to The Bim for making Lady Death ask a question that I wholeheartedly know the answer to (Death is <3); to JM for the free electronic gadgets that will be mailed to my address directly within two weeks (thanks ho!); and to Peter aka The Mordo for giving me a scar on on the cheeks and silken-and-shiny red hair (you the man!). Thanks to Joni and Rocky, too, for the Facebook greetings! And Cheska for the Multiply greeting. Cheers to more years of kickass dickery. Horray!
Great peeps all: to Paolo Medoza for that awesome <3 jpeg; to Ria Jose for the sweet advanced twit greeting; to Riki for the sweet advanced SMS greeting; to Arbet and Neil aka es2pido for the DMs; to Benj, Jeff, James, Jayvee, and AJ for the text greetings; to Noemi Dado, Dr. Tess Termulo, Aileen Apolo, Karen aka Dementia, P0yt, Dak, Coy, and Juned for the twits; to Gibbs Cadiz for the telecon (huwaaaat telecon?!); to Ainna, Conrad, Koryn, Carlo, and Cay for always looking out for me and for sending a dependable Christmas and New Year’s Eve stay over invite without fail (can never get enough of your and your parental’s cooking and hospitality); and again, to Anne and Bim for waiting for the eve of teh 27th birthday so they can give me a cake they didn’t bake and eat it too (pic on the side). You guys rock me to my core!
Thanks also go to my good friends Rose F (dancer/songbird), Richelle (from Vietnam, w00t!), Melissa & Bo, Dianne & Alf, Chica, Mike M, May & Jerome, Jerry Topak, Taweng, Ana D (from the house of D), Jowi (from ESATO, also happy birthday man!), Win Olario (also from ESATO), Jojo, Jo Tan, Jinggay, and Lei King (via SMS: “To my buena familia friend… Happy birthday! Our friends reserved Embassy na but I told them nababaduyan ka don! Haha!” This Lei, what a fountain of LOL!). Old friends are great to have and keep. Every one of you had been a living testament to prove that. To Eden, Aileen, Con, and Maris, thanks for Fragile Things and the cake. To Joan, thanks for coming all the way from CDO (as if).
To those who greeted in the comments section below, it’s never too late for a belated happy birthday so yay-of-grateful-thanks go to: the charming Phoebe, Cheska, Nina, Alexei, Massa P (aka fruityoaty), and Kevin (aka utakEMO, este, utakGAGO LULZ).
Surprise greetings that made me go APA BATOM JIIINNNSSS! BUTS WIT DA FRRRR!! (baddie’s transcription, pardon the awesomeness): QJ.net (email greeting) and Smart Communications (MMS Greeting). FTW?!
Looking forward to the bestest years in the future. Who’s with me? Come with? Yes? Yay!
SA INYO PONG LAHAT, MARAMING SALAMAT SA PATULOY PAGTANGKILIK SA SARILING AKIN! XD

@utakGAGO, @Neil, and @dak: yes, that’s a Red Ribbon Chocolate Mousse cake alright. Anne and Bim wrote Fred there on purpose. I also got another from work. They got it from Claudette’s. I had a hard time keeping myself from LOLing when I saw this:
Therefore, I think I’m cursed with a misspelled name for life. I really do. XD
