PUT A RING ON IT
I received my most unforgettable birthday
gifts when I turned 25 last year. They were
a movie presentation from my sister and a
ring from my boyfriend, which he hung on
the dress that I planned to wear that day.
So sweet!

ROCKIN’ PARTY
My husband invited my father, siblings and
close friend to a surprise party. I totally had
no idea! But I was so happy that everyone
attended despite their busy schedules.

TIMELESS
The most unforgettable gift I’ve ever
received was a watch. It’s a simple Q&Q
Black timepiece, which my dad gave me
when I was 15 years old. Now I’m 24 and
still using it.

SMILE-INDUCING
During my Cebu Pacific flight from Busan,
South Korea, I saw my photo and tips in
Smile
’
s Trip Journal section. Aside from
spending my special day with my sister,
getting the magazine on day one of its
release and just three days after my birthday
made my spring season awesome!
