I just celebrated my birthday with the most wonderful people. It was indeed a celebration of life. Looking back at all my pictures, I can see genuine happiness in my smile. Like nothing was missing. I am happy I celebrated my birthday with my parents, brothers and my cousins, aunts and uncles, and most of all my dear friends.
I woke to my parents singing "Happy birthday" since we shared a room at Crowne Plaza. I'm glad I woke up to them there =). Breakfast buffet at Crowne Plaza tells me that I'd definitely be overwhelmed for my 28th birthday.
Family bonding is what I always look forward to. We were all laughing and having a good time. Lunch was a feast (buffet hehe) and 3 times the "happy birthday" song played in the background in the restaurant. My two best friends are there to celebrate as well. It feels great to have them around with the family. They are the sisters I never had.
I had coffee with my brothers and cousins. We were all laughing and making plans for next year. I am looking forward to that Singapore and Malaysia trip =)
Walked around the mall and went to see Diche and Cris. I was there to cheer them both up! I'm a very thoughtful person so I decided to buy a cake to share with them. It wasn't in my plans to go visit Diche but I decided, what the heck? Add another person to my colorful birthday to share my blessings with.
Dinner with Ellainne and her family came after that (yes, I've been eating the whole day). Being one of my best friends, I know I couldn't let my birthday pass without her.
So it's been 28 years. Full of laughter, love, learning, heart aches, lessons, care, mixed emotions, met different people, made friends, had problems but found a solution, celebrations, frustrations, ecstasy.. and more.
Wow. 28 years and I'm just starting.
I don't know what's next. I'm still taking baby steps. But I'm sure things are going to get better, future becoming brighter. And I pray the wishes for me, and the wishes on every candle I blew.. indeed come true.
Loving and cheering at 28. =)
And to everyone of you who remembered me on my special day, thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you. =)
