Happy Birthday!

1.06 AM of June 29, an hour and 6 minutes after my birthday.

After reflecting of what happened to me during this days, im happy I turned 25 knowing that a lot of people, well not thousands, but I felt that lots of people really cares and loves me.

It feels so good that you are loved. And that everyone, hopefully everyone, is really happy they met me. And I feel the same way knowing them. Tama nga sabi ng isang kaibigan ko, the bigger the place you’re in, the safer you are. The more people you know and maybe touched my life, and hopefully did touched their lives as well, the safer I am in the world I am in. And honestly, i feel very safe. I may not have lots of super friend but I have true friends.

First and foremost, I would like to say thank you for all people who remembered my birthday. It means so much to me. For my ate’s who prepared the celebration earlier in the office, that no matter how they busy they are, they still find time to prepare something for me. I never had ate’s before, but now, I found them all, they are not just one, but they are seven of them who prepared that and I would also include my three kuya’s. Sorry to say guys, I hold the record, youngest in the group :).  A big thanks I really appreciated it.

I haven’t mentioned pa, for the record, its been what? 10 years since I last blew a candle on my birthday, they say cakes are for kids but they really gave me this cake. I am so touched arriving in the office with a cakes and balloons in my table. I felt loved.

But I am always loved, I can feel that, wherever I go, I am loved, I know, I just know. We maybe miles apart (ang layo noh? Miles talaga), but my forever friends never forget. Sa mga sisters ko at mga kapatid ko na kasama ko sa lahat ng kalokohan, thank you sa pag-alaala. Salamat sa mga messages na talagang naghaplos ng aking puso. May isa nga dun pinaiyak ako. i can now say, I am really, really a very good kunsintidor.. :) friend pala. Hehehe.. Thank you guys, you mean like a family to me and tulad ng lagi ko sinasabi, im just an FB away..

Syempre pinasalamatan ko na lahat ng kaibigan and friedships and fans ko (meganun?) I would of course thank my parents who brought me where I am right now. Who keeps on supporting me, no matter what my achievement are and kung may achievements. Family is everything to me, like my friends are my family, I treasure them kasi they are the reason keeping me strong, brave and beautiful (san nanggaling yun??)..

Kaya ang birthday wish ko ngaun?? MAGKAROON NA AKO NG BF.. waaahhhh.. joke lang.. syempre I would want blessings to come with me to share with the people I love. Sabi nga, happiness is real when shared.

Happy birthday sakin, im 25 na, a year older, bolder, wiser, more mature I guess, sexier and syempre now that im 25, mapanatili ko sana ang aking katawang lupa..

What We All Have In Common

Nakakatawa how one falls in love then falls out of it...

It's funny rin how one would die looking for it, while one would just let it die...

It's ridiculous how each and everyone of us is very much affected by
love...

And it's a wonder how everyone lives because of LOVE...

Well, here is a story...

In a dream, GOD told me, that I could pick up any man I like from His
field. BUT I have to choose only one. Once na nakapili na ako, I have to raise my hand as a signal that I finally found him, then go back to GOD for praise. But NO!!! May isa pang kondisyon --
I could never turn back. Once nalampasan ko, I should move on. So sabi ko, GOD surely won't give me rotten crops of men. I have been a good daughter and I deserve to be with a good man. I was confident I'll get the best pick.

So my journey began. As I went through the field, nakita ko ang iba't ibang klase ng lalake. Some were tempting me to pick them up. And some were indeed tempting to pick up. Pero sabi ko, baka may mas gwapo, mas mabait, mas matalino, mas masipag, mas mahal ako sa dulo ng field na ito. So I let go. Once. Twice. Thrice. I believed fervently that in the end of the field is my prince, waiting for me with open arms.

Then I saw a man. He looked at me straight in the eye and blew a kiss. Our gazes met and I don't know why, pero there was something in him that I longed for. I felt as if something was drawing me to him. Pero di pwede. I have to make it to the end of the field. Baka sabihin ni God, atat ako chaka wala akong patience. Naisip ko
If habang lumalayo ako, nakakakita ako ng ganitong klase ng lalake, baka as I move further eh may mas hihigit pa sa kanya.

Until, I reached the end of the field. And wala akong nakita!!!

GOD asked me, "Di ba napakakulit mo, araw-araw na ginawa ng Diyos...ay, ako pala yun...eh nagdadasal ka na magkaroon ng perfect partner in life, bakit ngayon wala kang dala.My crops are all fresh and good. There is nothing there not ready and good for picking."

I answered, "I thought I would see someone at the end of the field . Eh dyuskupo, wala na pala . I thought that each step I took brought me closer to perfection when in fact,each step brought me closer to nothingness. I remembered that man who was looking at me. I know he's the one but I let him go, believing na there's someone better
at the end of the field. Oh, darn it!"

God said, "I'm sorry my child, but I have given you enough time to choose. You should face reality and its consequences."

With my head bowed down I said, "I'm sorry I wasn't brave enough to raise my hand in the middle of the field and commit myself to someone. I was not ready to face the challenges of life with someone I thought was of lesser value than me...I'm sorry."

Nagising akong umiiyak, saying sorry to GOD and feeling sorry for my self and my life.Then I realized that GOD is giving me another chance to choose but not in His field but in the field of uncertainty. Now, I'm thinking about that man in the field, the man I felt was for me, wondering what might have been if I raised my hand the moment I saw him.

Then it hit me. What is the meaning of all my hardship to be successful and wealthy? I may become the most powerful and successful person on earth but if I don't have that someone whom will I share my love and happiness with, then it will not be worth anything.

Para sa ating lahat 'to. Think about it. We are not getting any younger. Explore GOD's field. I'm sure nanjan lang sha sa tabi-tabi. Maaring in the beginning, in the middle or in the end. It's for you to find out. But most importantly, it's for you to choose.
It's a part of the whole concept of love. It's a risk you have to take, a decision you have to make. And once you have decided on it, there's no turning back. Bear in mind that with this comes the courage to raise your hand and declare that you've found your match, whether you're at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of your journey. Or else, you'll regret it.

At ang huling phase ng lahat ng yan eh ito lang -- once you've raised your hand, go back to God and thank Him. In short, maging kontento ka sa napili mo. Ikaw naman ang pumili nyan eh. All He did was to give you options. And since He gave you that privilege, consider it a blessing .
