The 10th of January. A date to remember.

^ that date is my favorite date.  It's really a meaningful date for me :) 

You know why? Because it's my birthday!!! and oddly enough it's my boyfriend's birthday too! <3

what a coincidence right? but I love that we have the same birthday! We share our gifts to each other :)

I adore my birthday <3 hehe

And the past two weeks, I celebrated my 18th birthday, my debut. The so-called "coming of age as a fully grown lady". A "debut" is the "quinceanera" and "cotillion" of the Philippines. 

My debut was probably the most rushed event in the history of debuts. It was all planned in a week or two weeks.

but anyways, thanks for the help of my parents and my dear friends who's up to everything impromptu or not, we managed to celebrate a successful party!

Although my debut wasn't celebrated on the day of my birthday, due to schedule with school and etc. It was all worth it.

Here are some pictures, & you'll be the judge if it was a good party or not ;) Highlights from my Debut :)
