Today was a typical day at the office for me, or so I thought. As the medical in-charge of the company, I've grown accustomed to the usual routine of attending to employees' medical needs, processing reports, and collaborating with other departments.

But little did I know, my colleagues from the accounting and purchasing departments had been secretly planning a surprise birthday celebration for me. My birthday isn't actually until tomorrow, but I had filed a leave for a PRC ID renewal appointment, and I suppose they wanted to catch me off guard.

The surprise began when Jenx from the purchasing department called me, saying that Ma'am Evangeline had a concern and requested my presence in their department. I immediately dropped what I was doing and headed to their office, wondering what the issue might be.

When I arrived, Ma'am Evangeline seemed worried, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what was amiss. That's when my colleagues suddenly emerged from the nearby training room, carrying a huge cake and big pansit. The room erupted in a joyful "Happy Birthday" song, and I was completely taken aback.

I must admit, I've never been a fan of birthday celebrations, even as a child. As I grew older, I made it a point to keep my birthdate private, not sharing it with my coworkers in my previous companies. It was just something I preferred to keep to myself.

However, there's one person who has had a profound influence on me. He showed me that celebrating my birthday, even in a simple way, can bring so much joy and positivity into my life. He encouraged me to be more open and receptive to the idea of celebrating my special day.

And now, experiencing a surprise birthday celebration at work has truly touched my heart. It's a feeling I'll never forget, and I'm grateful to my wonderful colleagues for making this day so special. Thank you for your kindness, thoughtfulness, and for helping me see the joy in celebrating my birthday.

MMRJ, you guys are more than just a colleagues.
