it’s official.. i am 23

when somebody asked how’s my birthday early on,

i cannot forget how did i answer it..

“actually it’s just any ordinary day except that i officially turned 23″

i especially love the thought that i am getting older in age. at least my age is keeping up with how i look (coz i have always thought that i look older than my age..haha)


i guess when one is getting older, one gets practical

well, you do get rid of those superficial part and just focus on the core essence of celebrating the birthday..

as for me, a birthday is a perfect venue to be grateful for the gift of life i have been bestowed,

it is also a perfect time for me to extend heartfelt thanks to mama who risked her life to bring me up to this world,

and a birthday is also a celebration of friendship i have with others;

on this occasion, friends never fail to reaffirm the fact that i am in some way special to them (though i may have sometimes doubt it..haha)

the mundane greeting from friends that goes like “happy birthday” and with a smiley “:)”, this and more have painted a smile on my face.

to be plain honest, i am moved by the fact that they have spent a part of their time to compose those messages or even drop a call to extend their greetings.

i did not expect much with this 23rd birthday of mine but people around made a blast for me!

i am touched by their means of conveying how i am important to them.

yes, i am much affirmed and with that, it felt like i am much energized and optimized to face the world the defies my limits because there is this bunch of people who cares and believes in what i do.

i did not have a birthday celebration per se but i should say, this is one of the best birthdays i have experienced so far! nothing beats the affirmation of loved ones and dear friends on one’s birthday!

and i thank everyone who made it special for me.

may you too realize how wonderful people you all are!

let me end this by sharing what i told my friend today, “a lot of people whom i have lost touch lately surprised me with their greetings and i am just so overwhelmed! and so, if this is the case, i really do not mind celebrating my birthday everyday! “^^
