this day, well it kinda different. im not excited like i used to be before. hehe
july 21st, my 23rd birthday… 23yrs of my existence, 23 years of striving and 23 years of searching still fulfilling my dreams.
it was my mom who greeted me first, well eversince she always be the first one to reminds me of my day. she whispers me “happy bday lay” although im so half asleep; i could really feel her smooth lips on my cheeks as she greeted me.
then as so as to my siblings, my manang, my youngest sister din din, my sister jessa, my brother dong, my lola and then my papa. “one by one” they spit the words “happy bday lay” and replied them back smilingly “thank you”.
i went to sto. nino and lit a few candles for how thankful i am for that day and forever so sorry for all my sins…lol and also; i do pray for my family, people wo connects me and for my dreams. hehehe
my friends came later that night, stacy his bf jun, his cousin jr, luisa and though very very late ryan and razel came.
Razel whom i thought was in dipolog came after all. That man never fails to amuse me. haha
Though not so so surprise but grateful for his presence.
he gave me this cute, comical character patrick star of spongebob… it was too funny since his gift looks like of him, it reminds me of him; funny and cute. wahahahha
*sigh*
let me share you some great article forwarded by a friend…
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing”.
There are only a few secrets to staying young,
* being happy
*achieving success
* laugh and find humor every day
* have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.
We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!
There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.
If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do anything, you will turn twent. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.
Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.
The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.
We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

honestly that day scares me, scared for the fact that im getting old. no, dont get me wrong im not scared indeed bec. of aging, or getting old physically, im simply scared for tomorrow, for my future. Hope you get me…
as you see, time is running up, and I think Im still running of it… everytime… I feel that time runs so fast and I couldnt reach it out, so afraid that it will make me too behind and wouldnt catch it up. And Im worried, worried that; what if, I would waste the time and do nothing, or out of my control, or it will just slip away and wouldnt make the chances and grab the opportunity… I know I think too much. And I know I tried to do things as soon as possible… I dont know why Im so eager, dont know why I want it to make it sooner instead of wait, I hate waiting, really, and that scatters my energy, what if time would let me decide to give up? noh? what if the time just wouldnt let me get it? isnt luck? or destiny?
but at least theres one person who makes me stop of thinking instead making me smile of hopes…
that moment when he gave that? he makes me turn back the time of the things that I didnt able to do now and thats falling… melting my heart…
getting rid of the pain, so deep; washing all the worries and resting for my tiring thoughts… he was my new patrick star…THANKS FOR MAKING ME YOUNG…
I know the thing about HIM and I is REAL….
