Mylove's a very friendly person. He has lots of friends. When we would hang out before as best friends, we constantly bumped into some people he knew. I am amazed how wonderful he is but jealous sometimes thinking that he tend to be everybody's best friend. Anyway, I couldn't do anything about his awesomeness so I just don't mind. Knowing this, I thought of an idea to give him a personalize present on his birthday. I thought of this last year when I was in Manila. I want to record or collect video greetings from his friends and family and compile those in a video. Aside from the fact that I was financially broke to buy him random expensive gifts, I would prefer realizing this video because I find it somewhat sentimental and personal. :p
And so I started planning on the video. And guess what got me every time? I am amaze how most of his friends and relative are so game about it too! He is truly amazing. :) Aside from that, during the duration of the project, I tend to get excited to tell everything to him from the time I talked to his family and relatives and got their videos down to taking his friends' videos in secret. It's kind'a pretty hard to keep things secret from him, you know. I sometimes cannot hide my giggles making him very suspicious of me. haha! Maybe because of the fact that he is my best friend - I always get excited to tell him just about everything no matter how stupid it may sound. There were times that I was pessimistic that I cannot pull the video off but with God's grace I did. I ran out of concept but was lucky to be given the divine intervention on how to do it. ^_^
On the night before his birthday, I gave him a small gift box tied with a red ribbon with the USB and a note inside. I then called him at exactly 12 midnight and ask him to open it. He opened it and watched the video. And there is only one thing I was wishing at that very moment, to see his epic reaction! haha! (I should have played it on the dinner party were his family and all of his friends are there! tsk3! but I got so excited, you know! hehe). So yeah, that's pretty much it. ^_^
Here's the video that I edited. It was actually my first time to edit videos so pardon me with the presentation. This is not just my gift to him but this is pretty much a gift from his family and friends too. :) I love you Mylove! <3
