Eversince my birthday roses stint, people have been pressured to come up with flashy gimiks for other people’s birthdays.
That was why on our band 2 boss Joel’s 30th birthday, they came up with the idea of giving him 30 beers, 1 each to be given by a person or group who interacted with him.
Our group Parokya ni Jobacs (from the acoustikahan days, we were named after him, our manager) was assigned to give a beer, so we came up with a plan and I went to Rustan’s grocery last Tuesday night to buy a Tiger beer.
So yesterday afternoon, when we were called, we showed up in his area and sang the chorus of the song Laklak while Raymond strummed the guitar. We just changed the word “lola” to “Mina” and one line to “Pero ngayon ikaw ay trenta na, Mina pahingi ng pangtoma.”
Then at 3pm we went to the pantry for an org announcement which turned out to be another surprise for him – cake and ice cream! Birthdays sure are fun.
