It has been twenty-seven years, ten months,
twenty-eight days, nine hours, seven minutes and four seconds of my existence
and still counting. Five weeks from now I’ll be twenty- eight and I’m glad that
somehow GOD made me grow old gracefully. People still think I’m twenty-five and
I would often correct them by saying, “twenty”. However, I cannot be twenty
hence I admit that I need to grow up.
I know I’ve made birthday wishes in the past. But
I guess this would be the time I would even make one that is so... public.
I made enough money this year and I was able
to buy my previous wish list items before. I also have sponsors who gave me
those items.
1. Sony Vaio Laptop – donated
2.
Blackberry Phone New
Model-9320 Curve – bought using my Christmas 2013 Bonus
3.
Portable DVD Player- bought using my salary during FTP
I was thinking maybe I can celebrate my birthday virtually.
Right here with people who like reading my stuff, with those who have become my
friends or neighbors in Farmville, country story, mafia wars and with those who
feel they actually see themselves in the things I write in my notes. They are
the ones who make my virtual presence "real". I'm thankful to them
for putting more sense in what I do here.
Let’s hope they have enough imagination to fill this entire page
with a room full of balloons. Oh yes, how I love balloons even as a little child.
Color it with hues of gold, red and white; throw in some orange, violet, green
and pink too. And of course don’t forget the cake in the middle of the room.
Place it on a pink table with probably lechon, spaghetti, fried chicken, suman
and ice cream on the side. And if you’re in the mood for it, you can also turn
water into wine.
I know I’m guilty of counting my mistakes and my faults but
since it’s going to be my special day, I think I’ll start counting my
blessings.
I thank you each day...
...for giving me good friends. I may have no riches to speak of,
I may not have my own car or my own house but with good friends around I can
hitch a ride and crash into their place anytime I need one.
...for my office. Some people think I may have lost my mind
going to work in my worst weekend outfit or to dance around the office every
time I’m in a good mood and when I whine or feel stupid when I have compliance
that didn’t went good.
...for my wonderful parents... for loving and accepting me the
way I am... for over looking my age and still giving me extra allowance. For
giving me support and freedom to do what I am obliged to do.
...for my son, for understanding my choices.
And yes, for giving me a serious, loving, and mature
relationship.
I read somewhere that in order to get what you want, you have to
know what you want. I am not born rich. I have to work for my own wants and
needs.
Here’s my new wish list:
1. DIgicam – waterproof or not
2. Powerbank
3. Trip out of the country
4. House and Lot
5. Car
Hmm...looks like a handful. But hopefully, slowly I’ll be able
to achieve all of them.
