Two Birth DAYS this Year
Wednesday, October 19th, 2005Its that time of year… am turning a year older and i haven’t been looking forward to this time because of the lack of lovelife (hahhaa) and the lack of proximity to the ones I love back home…
But I guess you have to experience different kinds of birthdays that would give you reason to make your grandkids listen to you as they sit on your lap at the end of this life’s journey…
I have been celebrating this day since yesterday at 9 am because that was midnight Oct 19 in my hometown. I have been receiving a lot of txt messages and emails from my certified friends and of course my family. My best bud boyfriends Franz (from the Philippines) and Lawrence (currently in New Zealand) called me up to greet me. Lawrence even called me last Sunday so i guess my celebration is really loooonnnggg, huh?! =)
And tonight we are dining out in Laguna Beach (Italian resto called BJ’s to cover up the lack of my sister’s spaghetti) with my Mommy Terry, Mari (new found friend here), Che, Jenny, Nyg and Kurt… (Palawan group is almost complete… calling on Jing and Jillan….)
I think that God knew the fear in my heart for lack of greeting i would receive this day… i thought distance would make me forget that birthdays are to be celebrated… well, i was wrong, this was actually the longest birthday I have ever had in my life…
