my birthday!

it was my birthday yesterday!! (^w^)

hello everyone!

i celebrated my 20th birthday yesterday!

20 years full of tears and laughter, success and failures, ups and downs, yes and no, trial and errors...

20 years of friends and family, building and breaking of bonds, friends and enemies, births and deaths...

within those 20 years, 17 years of scholastic life.

20 years full of experiences.

despite all that, "i still have lots more to work on."

i still look forward to mor experiences and broadening my horizons.

i will "do my best" and i "must be strong" to face different challenges i will encounter in the future.

i will "fight on, get on, keep on (dream on), step up" and i will "run, run, run" to the road of life.

until i become a "finalist" of life. (^_^)

yesterday's agenda:

we had a simple family breakfast and lunch.

i had no visitors as i just wanted to relax the whole day.

i did not even do my usual house chores. (#^_^#)

anyways, after lunch, rei gave me gifts.

it was a teddy bear holding a Toblerone Black on a tray with my favorite drink, tomato juice.

arigatou rei-chan and ate joan for the gifts.

i could not decide what name i would give the bear.

come evening, i finally decided, his name is Mizuki. (^_^)

everyone, say hi to Mizuki!

i went to mass last night for thanksgiving for 20 years of living.

during the mass, there was a heavy downpour.

i had to ask rei-chan and ate joan to fetch me because i did not want to get wet.

we had pasta, lechon and cake for dinner.

it was a simple celebration and i really apprreciated it. (^_^)

thank you for all the greetings through text, email and facebook.
