Birthday

I'm writing this as a reflection of my being a year and 3 days older.

3 days ago, I turned a year older. My birthday was rather a usual day for me. I'll go to work, do my routine and see the usual people. But of course, I wanted to deal with it differently. As I have mentioned to a friend who also celebrated his brithday this month--" You only make it special when you want to make it special."-- So, my choice was, I wanted to make it one.

A day before, I gave myself a gray big bag as a birthday gift. My dear mother wanted to give me something so I opted not to make pakipot so I told her I want a pair of rubber shoes.  Geesh, I felt like I was a kid asking for a gift. Anyhoo, it felt good thinking of something you would want as a gift. --I'm still a kid by heart.-- Then, my special day came, I was in a training although I told peole around to greet me since its my birthday. So, I got it.  It really makes me feel good when people I dont even speak with make an effort to greet me.  What's more, the speaker, who I do not even know, anounced that it was my birthday so they had to sing the so passe birthday song for me.  She even gave me a gift-- an aromatherapy inhaler. Really, those felt really really nice really. It has been years since I heard that song being directed to me.

I also got gifts from people I dont expect to. Thanks to Lisa, Ninang and Tita Bernie. You see, when you are not used to being a receiver of gifts, even a small one would really touch your heart. So, thanks to all you again.  You again made the kid in me appreciate like an adult.

Finally, I bought a blueberry cheesecake for myself. Placed a candle on top of it and blew it.  Haay. I miss celebrating as a kid. I wish I had balloons. I actually thought of uying some but I did not find one. 

It's really fun to celebrate your birthday even by yourself.  Just making yourself feel special just for a day is nothing but exciting.  No need to shed out big bucks.  Well, that works for a frugal person like me though. *wink*So,  I guess I'd do this more often. Hopefully, more birthdays for me. ☺☺☺

Happy New Year to me, then.

Random Thoughts

It’s a new year and I realized, I have not written my thoughts for quite some time now. Days and months have passed, and things are quite the same still. You know what’s different? The impact. These days, I have quite grown to live with the challenges in my life. But don’t get me wrong. I still cry the ugliest cry. I still bawl in the CR in a snap. I still shout while driving. I still feel worried. I still feel anxious that anytime someone from behind will stab me, literally and figuratively. I still feel the pain. I still am sad of things that happened and that were done to me. But as they say, you do not and cannot forget the pain. You just learn to live with it. Until now, no one has sincerely sent an apology or showed regret. I shouldn't wait, really. Maybe there will come a time that they will realize the scar they left on me. Maybe not. And I am still trying not to care. I’m persuading myself that because I have different views and practice from people I grew up with,...

Chacha of Camella Homes

I am joining the bandwagon. Now, probably like you, the one beside you, or the one you saw yawning this morning (for so long as he watches television), I have become fascinated with Chacha Canete. Yes, she's the cute little girl in the Camella Homes commercial with the jingle bulilit bulilit . Admittedly, she’s not the cutest little kid television has ever shown, but, I think everything in that commercial seemingly befits her. I especially enjoy the scenes when she was walking with her arms tucked, when she was chewing her food and mostly, the one when she looked around and finally realized she’s in a bigger house. Cute cute!   How do you teach such young age to act naturally?                                               ...

Today

They say, you do not fully love someone if trust is not present. But what if you have grown to love someone altogether with the entire cast of trust, and, eventually, one of the casts breaks down? Again and again without remorse. Is love then questionable? My building of trust which took me quite a while to rebuild was again ruined by a very lame-hitting bat.   I don’t understand why such happened.   Outside factors believe that I may have been holding on tight. I would definitely want to refute that. Even this someone, would, I believe so. And even if otherwise,   I strongly believe that nobody deserves that.   And then again, I still cannot understand. You see, I am facing the altar in months. And on my road towards there, I need full force on my hands. If only I could pick up the broken glasses on my way there, I would. But then, it does neither take my way there nor months to pick them up.    I don’t even know if these glasses can be ...
