Unfortunately, PHL hasn't exactly embraced online shopping yet. Sure there's Ebay but I bet you birthday girl knows the items there more than I do. There's myayala.com but could the presents be any more expensive? Seriously. It's summer I need to save up for at least one getaway.
I also thought of sending her flowers and a box of cake and already asked my mom to do it since they're in the same city. The only problem is...I didn't send my mom a present on her birthday! I decided to call the whole thing off because it was waaaay too insensitive. (In my defense, I was flat broke last year. I'm a little past that "flat broke" line now.)
To make the long story short, I decided to give bestpal a customized gift: a Facebook note. It was a risk because I know girl-friend hates Facebook. But it was convenient and it was "public" (we have common friends) and I needed that shameless vibe with my note for maximum effect.
The Facebook note was a succes, I think because it actually made her comment on the note. A very rare thing. Lol.
Here's my other gift. A day late but I hope it would create more or less the same impact:
Happy birthday, Mishy!
