Quick Thought

I was happy today when I heard Isabela's response to my question when I asked what her stand was regarding artificial means of contraception. She told me she was against it and she didn't like it. I asked her why and she said it was because of Theo 131. That put a smile on my face. I had the same experience in my Theo 131 class, it's just nice how a class can lead to something like that. I feel privileged with the education that I get in ADMU.

Super Final Thanks

One final thank you. I'm actually pretty upset and disappointed that I forgot Him and I wasn't able to add it write away.

I'd like to thank God for the twenty years He has given me. He has blessed with a great and wonderful family, amazing friends, and He has given me nice talents and abilities (I think or at least I'd like to think...hehe...)

Thank you Lord! I hope I have made you smile at least a few times in these twenty years... =)

Never will you leave me nor will you forsake me

Final Thanks

Thanks for the preparing the great food mom and ma. Nerdox thanks for never forgetting (except the president, Isabela, lol! But it's alright, hehe!). I find it nice and sweet how Melai never forgets to greet me or anyone for that matter during birthdays. Thanks Vicky and Joyce. Thanks Kat for the sweet greeting.

Thanks for remembering and making a sweet phone call Juliane (though I didn't get to answer it).

Thanks for the "musical" greeting Irrisse and congrats on the best birthday greeting award, hehe!

Oh yeah, I just remembered...I made a new friend today while waiting for my ride home, Lauren..thanks for the greeting as well and for keeping me company.

A Real Quick Birthday Note

I just checked my mail, Brian sent me an e-card...another nice surprise. I believe it's his first e-card. Real cool and special. Thanks Bry.

Birthday Thoughts

I'm pretty sleepy already but I told myself that I would blog today, so here's to keeping that promise.

It's funny how I started this day sleepy, I woke up early to attend mass, and now I'm back to feeling sleepy again...hehe! Because I started the day early, I felt pretty bogged down during the day, kinda sheepish and hazy. The day was just kinda passing by rather quickly...I wasn't even noticing it. It was only during the latter part of the evening that I started absorbing the entire day. It kinda started with Ai asked me how my birthday was, I of course told her it was a sleepy day. Then I started to think about my day, the greetings were all nice; they made me smile (the award for best birthday greeting goes to Irrisse for her "musical" greeting, hehe...) but it is only now that the meaning and signifance of the greetings are sinking in. It's quite overwhelming actually, maybe this is just me being sentimental again, but it feels nice to be remembered. I'd like to thank those people who greeted me but whom I didn't expect to greet me, they were a nice surprise (Sam, Pat, Casey, April). I really appreciate the phone call from Karla as well. And of course to my family and friends who made this day special. I'd like to mention how my mom kissed and greeted me this morning while we were walking to church, it was sweet and nice. Oh yeah and how Kei greeted me half-asleep, hahaha! And Cha's funny birthday song.

(It just really cracks me up so I'd like to mention it here, I'm pretty awake now thanks to my embarrassing moment with April V. I think she and my cousin Thalia greeted me at the same time through YM but I only read Thalia's name so I replied to her message thinking that I was replying to Thalia; I called her dude and gave her a hug, she replied with a smile. But I was startled when I saw her name in the window. She might've thought that was weird so I apologized and explained. I was pretty embarrassed so the whole thing kinda shook me up and now I am less sleepy)

Going back to sentimental moment, it just really felt nice having all these people greet me, it made my day special. The dinner with my family was nice too. It was real fun playing and talking with Juliane. She's so cute and grown up already. The food was real good, I feel like I could have finished everything but I didn't want to stuff myself too much...it makes me look forward to breakfast tomorrow. I also have a lot of sweets (cakes, fruit salad, pastries, ice cream)...I love sweets. Thanks for the pastries JT! Ducky for the cake, Tita Heidi, Tito Tic and Juliane for the other cake, mom for the fruit salad and cupcakes!

Well, I wish I could say more...but apparently I can't put into words the joy that I feel right now...I just feel real nice...or maybe I am just tired and sleepy that's why I can't think clearly anymore. I feel like I still want to say more things (I feel so inarticulate right now and I think this blog is not exactly my best composition, I guess this would be what I would call real random thoughts)

i.e. I told myself I wouldn't work tonight and that felt nice. It's my special day, why stress myself? I think I'll need my rest for tomorrow when I hopefully write my history paper...arg...

So thanks everyone for making my day special. My day didn't start so great, I mean it started normally and sleepy but it eventually got special. It was indeed a fun and nice celebration with the family...so that was special.

I can't wait to celebrate with my friends, I'll treat you guys soon.

Note: I finally got my creative zen, thanks dad, I was supposed to charge it tonight but I think I'll just charge it tom.

Thanks again everyone. It was a nice and special twenteenth birthday.

By the way, I still don't feel like I'm twenty, I still feel like I'm nineteen...I don't feel old enough yet..hehe!

Quick Birthday Thought...or Maybe Not

Isn't weird how you say goodbye to an age? And how you get attached to a particular age. I liked being nineteen, I think I felt the same way with all my other ages and I think I felt this weird feeling saying goodbye to all those other ages as well. I didn't think I would get used to being nineteen. But now I got so attached to it, it's been a year of extremes for me so I guess that makes nineteen quite memorable. I just don't feel like I'm twenty yet, I still feel nineteen...yet surprisingly, upon uttering those lines, I suddenly felt like I WAS twenty..pretty weird. (so now I don't really know what age I am, hehehe!)

** I wish I could be 18 or 17 again though, I don't think I enjoyed those years enough, hehe..

I just find it fascinating how you find it odd getting used to a new age and then before you know you have morphed into that age, you can say I am nineteen, but then that realization only comes when you are about to change ages again, like when you're about to turn twenty or when you are twenty.

Hehehe...
