Quick Summary of my Burthdah!
Three days ago was my birthday. It also happened to be the birthday of my uncle, my two college friends and my workmate at school. To be completely honest, I don’t think I’d hear anything from my friends about it if it weren’t for the fact that Facebook displays people’s birthdays to their friends. Except of course to my true friends who exactly know when my birthday is.
And yes, I’ve gotten quite a few Wall posts last friday from people who greeted me on my special day. Lol. But yeah, I have to deal with it. A week before my birthday, we celebrated in advance mom and mine’s birthday since mom and I were both born on September. She made a perfect Filipino breakfast which I truly miss a lot because I only eat Thai food in the place where I stay. We went to Thailand’s tallest building- Baiyoke. It is located at Bangkok. That was perfect! We did eat plenty of food though and we went to the rooftops to see the whole view of the city. Although it was raining so hard, it didn’t stop us to take a pose to every corner of the place.huehuehuehue And just last friday which was my authentic birthday, two beautiful, kind and thoughtful ladies gave me an incredible and tastiicious ice cream from Swensens at Krabi. That was one of the sweetest night ever in my life!—–So Far.Lol.
And on saturday, the Sipat’s family brought me to one of Thailand’s accessible place to eat- MK Restaurant. They’re food actually tasted good and the place was clean and comfy. Aside from the good place, what I truly liked most was the fellowship that we had with the Sipat’s family. I’m so blessed with this family. Their bond, their sweetness to each other…..just a perfect family picture frame. We went to Oriental Princess (ang Ganda-Ganda at Bango-Bango ng mga colognes nila. ) and we went to Outlet (this is where you buy all types of brands of clothes) and at night after the prayer meeting, we ate Thai food as our dinner near Vogue and went home.
But here’s the thing- my realisations..
It’s been another year for me. I feel like I’ve grown up so much physically ‘coz I’m getting fatter and fatter everyday!ahahah! I need to get back to the track na.This birthday is a long way away from my first one. This was my second birthday with no living with my grandparents( since I’ve lived most my life with them) and second time to celebrate it with my parents. (they’re missionaries so they go from one place to another that’s why we don’t live together not until now. ( Only missionary kids can understand this. ) .
I know I shouldn’t have to look back but if I have to look at it, I can say that there’s so much has changed in my life, so many realisations, so many lessons learned, so many challenges faced, and so many miracles. I just thank God for another full year of blessings. I can’t help but to feel excited for the coming years. I don’t know what will happen next year or next season of my life. I just have to try and live each moment because I don’t know what the future holds…only God holds the future. I need to remind myself of that more often.This year means that I have more responsibilities, more challenges, new things coming. And I just pray that whatever challenges I will face, I will be able to handle them.
Life is not all perfect but it is beautiful and worth celebrating for. I am just thankful for the experiences I had in my younger years- all of them, bad or good, molded to be who i am now(@24) . I thank God for the blessings he gave to me and to everything-just everything.
Gosh, I just want my friends- their touch, their whines, their loud voices, my family. sighsss. I just hope and pray to break my shell, channelling my anxiety into enthusiasm and having fun doing these new things, be good at work, be a good daughter and granddaughter and cousin and “maybe” a good wife someday. Bwahaha(evil laugh). Anyways, thank you to those people who greeted me on and before my birthday through call and text on Skype, Whatsapp, Viber, Line and through posting their greetings on my wall in Facebook. Thank you so much guys. Am truly grateful to have you as my friends. Thanks to my family too. I know my family is praying for me. Have a great day everyone! God bless us all.
