I don't really know how to start my b-day blog this year. I was trying to make one last night but it's all crap so I decided not to post it anyway. I was trying to make something with sense but failed. I just find it more real if I just tap away and type whatever my quirky mind produces...
My birthday has never been something grand. I usually spend it ordinarily. Usually lazing around and catching up to do things I missed doing... Like reading a book, DVD marathons or just simply being in bed the whole day or couch potato-ing... I don't really invite friends over. I always prefer to have what my parents set aside in cash... Most often to buy MORE BOOKS to read or to just spend it for myself. Yeah! I'm selfish! but it's just how I want my birthdays to be spent. =)
But no matter how weird I like to spend my birthday, a simple greeting from people who matters to me never fails to make me smile. There's something in it that makes me feel special. This year, I only received a few birthday greetings in SMS (from my grandmother of course and from 4 other people.) which reminds me how time changed a lot. But my FB wall was flooded with more than a hundred fifty "happy birthday" and my twitter mentions was flooded too. I know that facebook reminds everyone of us that it's our friends birthday and my twitter followers are mostly my friends in facebook too... but it overwhelms me still. Just thinking that out of my friends precious time they alloted a few seconds to have the time to type a greeting for me... I have simple happy-things... Simple joys...
Well, my birthday this year is a Sunday, so obviously, I was in church. And to be in church on Sunday is usually a whole day affair in my life; church service then workshop then musical thing practice. I eventually arrived back home around 7pm. Family dinner over the usual menus then cakes and ice cream. That's it! that's how my 2011 birthday went.
I'm 23 and my life has been something I can call AWESOME!!!
23 AWESOME years and loving it…
My life was not “THE PERFECT LIFE”. I had my share of success, satisfaction, value and happiness. I also had my fair share of failures, disappointments, mistakes and stress. Just like most people; I live a typical normal life. I had my ups and downs. I had my triumphs and defeats. I had my friends and foes. I had my laughter and tears.
23 AWESOME years and I will continue to look forward on everything that this world has to offer; places to be explored, people to be met, knowledge to be learned and memories to be made.
I am a dreamer and I will continue to dream...
Dream of success…
Dream of happily ever after…
Dream of that true loves kiss…
I am worshipper and I will continue to sing melodies for Him…
Sing of His goodness…
Sing of His greatness…
Sing of His holiness…
I am a reader and I will continue to read…
Read to gain knowledge…
Read to share awareness…
Read to acquire maturity…
I am a writer and I will continue to write…
Write to stand on what I believe in…
Write to entertain…
Write to communicate…
I am a traveler and I will continue my journey...
Travel through God's plan...
Travel to see the beauty of God's creation...
Travel to be amazed...
I don’t have “THE PERFECT LIFE” but…
I thank the Lord for all the AWESOM
E blessings, the unmerited favors, the unconditional love and for what He continues to do AWESOMELY in my life…
P.S
They say you get to have one wish on your birthday... Well I don't do wishes anymore. So I will ask a favor from everyone who gets to read my birthday blog.
--- PLEASE WHISPER A PRAYER FOR ME. ADD YOUR FAITH WITH MY FAITH. HELP ME DECLARE THAT I COULD CONQUER THE 2011 OCTOBER C.P.A BOARD EXAM.
xoxo,
