My Birthday!

I've heard that people usually feel down whenever their birthday approaches...I'm not one of them.  Maybe because mine fell on New Year's Eve and it's quite difficult to feel sad when you're around family and with lots of food and firecrackers pa nga!

But with all the stuff going on in my life recently, I'm afraid that I may just feel a little melancholic.  I still miss Mama, my sister left for Australia yesterday and I had a rift with the most important person in my life.  Though I know that things will get better, somehow life has a way of rubbing it in when you try your darnest best.

Well, so I turn a year older today...I guess I just have to embrace it with my head held high and a grin on my face.   I am already experiencing a life far beyond my wildest expectations.  So, I cherish it and I accept that certain things are meant to be, whether I like it or not.

I spent the best birthday yet with B.  Thank you for making me empowered enough to acknowledge that I deserve these blessings.  You and me, we made this possible.
