Rhian gets lots of birthday love from KC Montero, 'Genesis' family

Rhian Ramos recalls having the birthday blues last October 3.

All she wanted to do was go home, take a shower and get some much-needed birthday snooze.

But some people had other plans!

"The staff of Genesis, my show, and KC [Montero]. They conspired and took me to a surprise birthday party,” she reveals.

She adds, “Wala kaming taping noon [for Genesis]. I was coming back from Clark from racing. I was so sweaty and stinky. I was having some birthday blues.”

Wala sa mood mag-celebrate ng kaniyang birthday si Rhian noon at mas nanaisin pa niya na dumiretso sa bahay para makapagpahinga galing sa dinaluhan niyang racing event.

"I wasn't in the celebrating mood so I was excited na from Clark, uuwi ako, maliligo ako, tapos  kakain lang ako. Then I'm going to sleep and no one's going to talk to me.”

Then, boyfriend KC Montero asked to be picked up because he has a meeting in Quezon City. That was Hint Number 1.

“He never asked me to pick him up before. I was, 'Okay, fine’. I picked him up and then I transferred to his car. Sabi niya, 'Babe, mag-U turn lang ako dito’.”

Rhian felt that something was strange.

Hint Number 2: “Na-weirduhan ako kasi magaling naman siyang mag-drive, pero di ko maintindihan kung ba't ang bagal-bagal niya talagang mag-U turn. I was getting irritated. I was like, 'Ano'ng oras na? Puwede na ba tayong umuwi?’.”

Patuloy niya, “The car was stopped on the side of the road, may kumatok doon sa door ko. I opened my window. It's Direk Joyce Bernal! I was like, 'What are you doing here?' She was like, 'Nothing'. I was like, 'Okay'. Then I was, 'Babe, say Hi naman Direk Joyce oh.’ And then sabi ni KC, ‘Surprise!’ I was like, 'Huh?'”

Pagkatapos, out of nowhere, nagsilabasan na ang mga tao papalapit sa kaniya na may bitbit na cake at crispy pata.

"Pag tingin ko, everyone was there. They all came running out the karaoke place when they saw the car. They brought out cake with candles on it and they brought out crispy pata with candles on them, kasi it's my favorite food.”

Mixed emotions ang naramdaman ni Rhian. Natuwa siya sa kakaibang birthday surprise, at na-touch at naiyak sa ipinakitang effort ng mga taong nagmamahal sa kaniya.

“I was like, 'Guys, this is so stupid. You're running around the streets with crispy pata.’ Pero it was super funny. It was a tear jerking moment.”

Last weekend, ipinagdiwang ni Rhian ang kaniyang kaarawan kasama ang mga bata sa Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) at ang mga lolo at lola sa Graces (home for the elderly).

Hindi kasama si KC Montero sa celebration ni Rhian with the kids of PCMC last Saturday dahil sa early flight nito patungong Bacolod City para sa Masskara Festival.

Ngunit bumalik kaagad si KC kinabukasan para makasama si Rhian na bahaginan ng ligaya ang mga lolo at lola sa Graces.
