My birthday celebration... not the usual

Maybe it's my 23rd birthday celebration is the most unusual compared to the previous birthdays that I had. I was on duty the day before of my birthday and hours before the clock strikes 12 midnight, we were in Pasig, responding to a fire emergency. Oh great! We spent almost 3 hours on the scene and after fire was declared under control until totally fire out the whole team leave the area and ate somewhere in Mandaluyong together with the fire volunteers from Paranaque and with my special one who was called that night to bring our rescue van which we didn't use. Haha! Atleast I still had a reason to see him. After we ate our very late dinner or should I say midnight snack we head back to our headquarters. At the office, after fixing our things, I went back to my task which is to make a checklist of our trauma kit supplies and to my surprise, they gave me a cake and they sang happy birthday to me. I almost cried while they were singing and that moment too, another fire alarm was monitored and it's near our headquarters, the fire alarm went to 5th alarm but luckily, the chapter who was in-charge of the area had a manpower on duty that time, but my special one had to go back immediately to their base to respond to the fire. We just monitored in the headquarters and after a few minutes I went to sleep and I woke up past 6 in the morning. After I fixed myself, I was standing in front of our bulletin board and I was surprised when my special one went in, he was singing me the happy birthday song. I was so touched by his thoughtfulness. haha!!! Before I go off-duty, we ate the cake that they gave me and had a little chat before I totally went home.
