Birthday messages from college friends
I didn’t get to celebrate my birthday with my college friends kasi nasa iba’t-ibang sulok kami ng mundo. Literally! Haha. May nasa Malaysia, Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Laguna, Rizal, Manila etc.. But super na touch ako nung naka receive ako ng mga birthday messages from them. Rash sent me a short but sweet birthday message at 12 midnight. Alain sent me a loooong birthday message on facebook na after reading it, I felt so good and happy. Lou made a slideshow for me. What is effort! Super funny at nakakatouch yung ginawa niya kasi she’s trying to find me a prince charming. Super thoughtful. Ja sent me a birthday message through text and said na bibigyan pa daw niya ako ng letter when we see each other kasi sweet daw siya. Haha. Jem sent me a sweet birthday message on facebook and saying how the group misses me. Tricia sent me a sweet message saying how she misses me and our gala moments. Donna sent me a very looong touching message through facebook all the way from malaysia. I was teary-eyed while reading it.
After reading all their messages, it made me miss them more :( I didn’t realize that I made an impact in their lives after knowing them for a year now. It felt so good hearing and reading all the wonderful things they had to say. I didn’t expect all those kind words but I’m glad they saw that in me. Thank you guys from the bottom of heart! I love you all >:D< :*
My 18th!
Nag host ako ng isang birthday dinner with hs friends to celebrate my 18th. Nung high school pa lang kami, lagi na namin pinaguusapan yung plans namin for our debut. Eh ako pa naman yung unang nag-18. Tanda ko na! Hihihi. So ayun, we we’re supposed to eat at Mann Hann kaso wala silang table for 10. Meron nga kaso hiwalay naman. Syempre, we didn’t agree! Kami ba naman ang paghiwalayin? Hahaha. Ang dami pa namang pending na kwento. Since lahat naman kami ay pizza lover, we decided to dine at shakey’s na lang.
Super ingay namin sa kakatawa at kaka-share ng stories. Literal na LOL. HAHAHA. Tapos after namin mag dinner, we went to Krispy Kreme for some dessert! Wala pa ding humpay sa kakatawa at pag kwento ng pending chika. Sobrang nakakamiss yung ganung times na ganun kaya I’m so glad na we’re all together again at sa birthday ko pa :’) Nagulat ako na ang dami pang nagabala na magbigay ng gifts. Pero thankful talaga ako! :) Sa sobrang daming katatawanan na nangyari, hindi ko na makwekwento in detail. I feel so thankful and blessed to have friends like them. Sa dinami-dami ng pinagdaanan namin, I’m glad to see all of us together on my special day. Thank you for making my birthday memorable guys! Love you all >:D<
Random Labor Day message
So this morning, I received some text messages from Hannan. I woke up on the wrong side of the bed so I was a bit grumpy. But after reading these, I laughed so hard! She never fails to send me random text messages! HAHAHA
Hannan: Hi mommy! I just wanna greet you a happy labor day. Great day ahead! Love you.
Hannan: Alam kong matatag kang tao. Madami ka ng pinagdaanan at alam kong kaya mo pang harapin at tuklasin ang mundo sa likod ng misteryong bumabalot dito. Mahal na mahal kita. Happy Labor day! Me loves you.
Her second text message was deep and it made sense but instead of taking it seriously, I laughed so hard! How random can this girl be! Hahaha. Love you Hannan! >:D< :*
Hello May! Birthday month!
Only 5 more days ‘til I turn 18. When i was younger, I was itching to turn 18 so that I could finally call my self as an adult, drink legally, get a driver’s license etc… I was thinking all of those privileges and how I could make it as an excuse to my parents when they give me curfews. Hahaha. Sounds a bit shallow but I actually thought of those things. Like any teenager, I was looking forward for “freedom”. But I can say that I was lucky enough that my parents weren’t that hard on me and I got a taste of that so-called freedom before I even turned 18.
Now that there’s only a few days to go before I turn 18, I honestly don’t know what to feel. I feel excited but at the same time, I feel so old already. Haha! But one thing I know is that turning 18 is like opening a new chapter of my life as I enter the more mature and sophisticated world. It is a milestone into adulthood accompanied by great privileges as well as serious responsibilities.
Some things never change…
High school friends calling me “mommy”, crying on my shoulder while ranting about life, asking for love advice, long hugs, pinching my fat arm, laughing out loud at random things. Never gets old! It feels good to know that despite being so busy with our college life and new friends, we still go back to our comfort zone when we’re all together. =))
Maturity
People always say that I’m mature for my age. Not really physically but basically how I deal with life. I don’t think that there’s a book or a manual that teaches maturity 101. I believe that maturity comes from experiences. From the people we meet, the relationships we had/have, and all the triumphs and failures we went through. Living in this harsh world is not easy. There will always be people who would hurt you and people who would try to bring you down. There will be days where nothing goes right. And at one point, we will experience heartaches and stumble a thousand times.
I’m not saying that I’m a pro or anything. I’m not a perfect daughter, sister nor a friend. I make bad decisions, I disobey, I keep all my feelings bottled up inside, I’ve stumbled a million times in my life. But in the midst of all the challenges, trials, and hardships in life, I chose to stay positive. I chose to find even the tiniest hope for positivism. I chose to get back on my feet and keep on living. I chose to let go of some things that’s better off without even though it’s hard. I chose to pick up all those life lessons along the way, I chose to believe in HIM that everything has a greater purpose and I’m just His obedient daughter. All those hardships are all part of life and is inevitable. A situation becomes good or bad depending on how we look at things or how we put it in perspective. It’s up to us if we choose to make it worse or just simply make it better. We should ask ourselves, Will I just give up and dwell forever? or Will I get back up, fight and live?
