This year, I planned to celebrate my birthday the way always do. Go away on my own and assess myself. Where I am now. Where I want to be. What is lacking in my life. How can I make most of what / who I have and where I am . Donate to a charity I believe in. Visit a church . Go to a quiet place and reconnect with my real self not the me others expect me to be. With that solo time I had realizations. (Move along to another blog or browse your social media if you are not interested, I am just typing my thoughts here, this was how my blog used to be, not so commercial).
It was my first time to be at the Lady of Peace and Good Voyage . Looks like I arrived at the time of blessing of the dead. Hehe, about 5 coffins laying by the altar. Kinda morbid sight but hey it’s the circle of life, birth and deaths.
Some of my birthday realizations:
Expectation is diffrent from reality. Get detached. When you reach my age, your friends will be few. It will be hard to have a wingman by yourside to be your “partner-in-crime”. All my bestest friends in the whole wide universe are out-of-the-country. The near ones have a life of their own. It was not like highschool when you can drop everything and do what you want because you don’t have that bigger responsibilities. In highschool your responsibility is to your parents to study well so you can live on your own and have a better future in college and beyond. The reality of life kicks in as an adult you have a lot of responsibilities, bills and more. You are responsible for people. You are responisbile for your own actions. Your family , the one you grew up with, will be the only one you’ll have when you get old. People come and go, but your family is the only ones that will stay forever until the end of your days.
Love is something not to look for anymore. If it comes it will come if it doesn’t so be it. Focus your energy on something else. Be creative. Travel. Make things happen. It’s a leap year this year, there’s this European tradition I think (Scottish I think, my Scottish friend who just past away recently was the one who told me about this) . He said women can make the proposals on a leap year, so if you plan to stay, be ready (lol) if not leave now or forever hold your peace.
My alcohol tolerance is not like what it used to. There’s still lots of booze left the popcorn is gone. Haha!
Today was alos the first time in my whole existence to have an injection on my face because of a stubborn pimple ! OMG! It was ouch (tolerable amount of pain daw) but really I am scared of needles! I can never trust anyone else unles it’s YSA because #YsaLovesMeBetter!
Thank you to Facebook for being here because there are more friends who are able to send their birthday greetings easily. I think its one of the birthday realizations of everyone , because Facebook makes everyone feel special during their birthdays. I think it is the best feature of Facebook.
I am grateful for the entire year of amazing people, places, events, projects that came my way. I am looking forward to another best year to come.

I stay gorgeous!
