Happy @ 24

10-03-2011 – it’s about time to add a year more to my age glass. I am leaving the 23rd line and I will be crossing the 24th lap. Turning 24 is something ordinary to every person but somehow, mine was a bit special. Indeed, this year is a lot of firsts for me. My 24th birthday is my first time to celebrate a birthday with someone dear. I was excited and at the same time afraid that I may set too many expectations inside my heart. And to be honest, at first I was disappointed. It was because I wanted to live in a world of fairy tales. That when the clock struck 12, someone will tell me Happy Birthday and I wanted it to be him. I’d like to live like a princess for just this day. But then, I realized, that’s way too much. A birthday is special because you had grown a year more and you have another year, another opportunity to spend your time with the people you love. At the end of the day, I still have my heart rejoice in happiness. Another first for me, It’s my first time to receive flowers on my birthday. And to add to that, it was from someone special. It doesn’t matter how many gifts you receive, after all, it’s the thought that counts. I thank everyone who sent their greetings, I’m really glad you remembered. To my highschool buddies, thanks a lot…I thought time and distance made you forget, thanks to Facebook for the reminders… Thank you as well to my aunt, who sent fruits all the way from Dapitan, my sisters who prepared the food from Dapitan with love. Also, to the one who gave me that basket full of flowers, daghgang salamat…You really made my day a very special one. You just don’t know how happy I was… maski pa kung santan lng to, sobrang Ok ra jud…And, thank you for everything… And I just had a wonderful 24th Birthday…
