Happy Birthday, Teenage Dream :)

A few weeks back, I don't know what came to my mind and asked James about his favorite character, was it Superman or Batman? He immediately responded with "both :)" and I blurted out I'll have something for him when his birthday comes. He said he can't wait; and from then on I kept thinking what could be the bestest Superman/Batman gift. I started with ballers, cap, tshirt, watch, cake, pillows- name it, I could have possibly thought of it too! Until one day, I was at the mall and saw an artshop, "Cool." I thought.  Then Superman and James came into mind. *hint*

1 week in the making. I was constantly in touch with the artist, I'd email him once in a while, I specified how I wanted it to look and how special and personalized I wanted it to be.

His birthday came, September 4, 2011. I have my gift wrapped nicely. But there's no way I can give it to him personally. I bet he was spending his special day with his family. Well, I can wait :)

Monday, September 5, 2011. My most awaited day. I'll be seeing him again! Even convinced my parents to go with me ( I feel the support, really ) Arrived 30 minutes earlier than their practice time. We were at the parking lot, oops, James' car was not yet there. I asked manong guard if I can watch the team train. " Bawal po mam, dapat may kakilala sa loob or manggaling mismo sa player na pwede pumasok " I told him my friends usually watch and they just leave their id's. "Try nyo nalang po ulit mamaya mam"

Cause we're good followers, Mama and I came back past 4pm. Now I'm not just talking to one but two manongs. We worked our charms out and Mama even said "Sige na sir, galing pa kami Laguna, nandito lang ako para suportahan anak ko" ( awwww mama's superb!) Manong # 2 then asked for my name, I said my name, he said he wants my full name,  "James knows me by that name po and just tell him about the Superman gift" Manong #1 said we follow Manong #2.

While we're patiently waiting for Manong and James, the Azkals are coming! My heart beat faster than ever. I was just sitting on the stairs when Manong returned and said "Di na daw po pwede lumabas si James mam eh" " Aww sayang naman po kuya :( "  Just when I stood up, I saw James, running, to where me and mama were. When he saw me, I greeted him and then he hugged and kissed my cheek. *tsup* ( be still, dear heart, keep calm. ) "Happy Birthday, James. Here's my gift for you, you said you like superman right? So there, you are my Superman. Can you open the gift now?" Before he opened the gift, he read my lil note first. When he saw what it was, "Awesome. Yeh I like Superman" "We came all the way from Laguna just to give you that" " Awesome, thank you" My mama then started to talk: "I'm the mom and I'm a fan of you" in which he responded " Hi Tita" with matching hand wave ( so adorable. can you just call her Mom instead of Tita? lmao) He reached out his hand and was about to kiss mama but mama was so shy!

Of course I asked for a photo. Don't asked me how I felt. Words can't explain it.

Before I went home and said goodbye, he hugged and kissed me again. *tsup* (1000000000 points for katwoman! :D ) "I'll tweet you later James" "Yeh sure :) "

Bottomline is, GOOD THINGS REALLY COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT. And I thank you manongs for making it possible, and you, James Joseph Younghusband for being so appreciative and all.
