In order of succession...
Nean: Hapi bday!
(This is Ne-an's fourth greeting already. The other three were sent a few days back.)
Epoy: Happy birthday! Many more birthdays to come. God bless you.
(Everytime someone greets me "God bless you" through sms, I feel so distant with the person sending the message even if we are good friends. The statement seems so formal to me.)
Wheng: Hello! Kung hei fat choy! Happy birthday! I wish u good health and successful career. Mabuhay!
(Naku naman, Wheng! Wala na bang pepersonal pa riyan sa message mo?)
Mommy: It's your birthday today hope it will give you more love, happiness, good luck and long life all thru d year & many many many more years 2 come happy b'day. Luv u
