OFFICIALLY 30
It's official! I'm already 30 years old and as usual I planned to have a different birthday celebration. It started when I turned 26. It was then when I had my ears pierced. Yup! when everybody else wanted to have pierced belly, tongue, nose or even clit, mine was the simplest and the most usual parts - ears. And mind you, I didn't just go to a shop and let their ear gun do the piercing, I really went to a professional and a pediatrician at that! Atleast I live up to my plan of having to do something different for my birthday.
When I turned 27, I went back to Palawan and had a blast! The best vacation so far. And it was an adventure too with my then new found friend who's my Baby now.I had so many firsts in this trip.First time to board a superferry with somebody I met a few months back, first time to jam with a band in one of the bars in Puerto Princesa, first time to set foot on El Nido commuting and here's the best part ... first time to get stranded and slept in a bus in going back to Puerto Princesa from El Nido and who was looking after me then? My Baby! How sweet! He was like a watchdog, he made sure that no one comes near me or even bothers me while sleeping. Oh well! how can you sleep soundly inside a bus in a nowhere land with people you don't know and I was the only female on the bus! The the list goes on ....
My 28th and 29th birthdays were both spent in the island of Puerto Galera. Not too different I must say. Now is the year when I will turn to the BIG 3-0. Days before my birthday I was planning of things to do on this very special day of mine. But in the end I thought, what the heck! this is what it's all about-surprises and sponteneity!
Received a call early in the morning from my Parents, I considered it a wake up call since it's 5:30 in the morning. They greeted me happy birthday then passed the phone to Ate Liza who greeted me as well. It's a tradition in our family that my Parents are the ones who'd greet us first plus the very famous misua with egg for breakfast.And since I'm the celebrant today I get two eggs, yippeee!
Thru out the day, friends texted me and greeted me happy birthday.My nephews and niece did the same. The best part of it all was when Kuya Dodgie texted me "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHING". It was very much appreciated for I thought he might have forgotten (you know how guys are at times). Simple as it may seem I still keep the message in my inbox, as a matter of fact, his message for me last year is still in my other sim card. That's how much I value his messages for he really seldom talks to me or asks how I am unlike my other brother. Nevertheless, I love him just the same.He's one of my idols since I was young. I wanted to use his things because I find them cool and a privilege to be able to use them. He's an honor student since kinder til he graduated in college and I know I can't beat that... He's someone I really look up too!
I was planning to go to St. Claire but I decided to go to Montalban first to deliver the netphone my sister-in-law and I are planning to put up as a business. I arrived there past 4 and stayed for awhile. I was really happy I went there for I was able to play with Cymon who's 3 months old and his brother Mykel who's 7. I love being with babies, they make me feel like life is really simple and heavenly! I don't regret travelling from Manila to Rizal just to see them and be with Cymon, atleast I get to spend my day with my family.
It was already late and St. Claire's already closed so I planned just to head to greenbelt chapel to attend mass or if not atleast visit and give thanks. I wasn't able to make it to the last mass, when I got there, a charismatic group was singing and dancing so I sat and joined the group, listened to the preacher, prayed the rosary and gave thanks.I decided to stay until it's over and was glad I did.
The leader preached about courage and about courage I learned.It's not just important what's on your mind but how you put it into action. That's what matters most.
I've long been trying to live up to the principles and teachings of the faith. But as a normal human being, I'm also vulnerable. I know I was expecting and planning a different birthday this year and I know I had one,... I had a date with my Savior. He talked to me thru this group last night. I really can feel HIS presence, HE assured and comforted me. After all the dancing and singing, HE left a message thru this last song. Truly I am well taken cared of ......
I WILL BE HERE
Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I...I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I...I will be here
I will be here...
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I...I'll be here
Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I...I will be here
I will be here....
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me
I...I will be here
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
'Cause I...
I will be here....
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
When I got home, my Ate Chona and Miko sang me a birthday song afterwhich I blew my birthday candle.We had late dinner then Miko and I went to Malate to end my day with a bang! Oops! it's not what you think it is but a pleasant and a wholesome one. We watched my fave Barbie's Cradle strut their stuff and I definitely had a blast! We were so lucky our table was just next to theirs!
My 30th birthday celebration was heavenly and earthly blissful.This is just a beginning of a whole year round celebration and the party has just started .......
