SENTIMENTAL

“Another year, another fun experiences.” Maybe tonight is the perfect time to blog about my nineteenth birthday. It was last May 15 but I just got the time tonight to open my tumblr (it’s because I just finished taking the comprehensive exam). 

The morning of may 15 was quite a normal morning for me. I never even felt that it was my birthday until I opened my fb account and read the birthday greetings of some FB friends. Then my family started to greet me, I received texts from my classmates and what made my morning so good is a birthday greeting from Una Ka Bai  (local morning TV show). You wondered why? Well, it was a surprise from my high school friend who is working at the show. It’s good to hear your name on TV, isn’t it? Haha. 

Actually, it was the first time that I have a class during my birthday (it’s because I have summer classes), so I became pretty excited since it was not usual to me. When arrived in school, my classmates started to greet me, not only once but many times. They even sang a “Happy Birthday Song” during our class. My classmates were really wild, I must say. Haha. I spent the whole day at school since I have a whole day class, and I got even luckier because my professor in Pol Sci gave us a quiz. Lucky I am! What you think? Haha. Yet, it turn out to be good also since I passed the quiz and received a good midterm grade in my other subject (Group Dynamics). 

I never really had any further plans during the day. I also didn’t plan to have a celebration after. But some of my classmates are dishing me to treat them or just invite them to our house and have dinner. I was pressured, so I called my aunt and asked her to cook something and lucky enough, she replied positively. So I invited them for just a simple dinner. I went straight to San Pedro Church before I headed home. I lighted a candle and said my prayer, I’m just Thanking the Lord for giving me another year of my life, and also asking some favors. Haha. Then after that, Doll treated me to Mister Baker. We ate Braso de Mercedes because we were craving for it the other day. Then we went home.

At around 7 pm, my other classmates arrived at my house and surprisingly, they bought a cake for me. I was touched though because I didn’t expect it. We just have a simple birthday dinner and just talked and laughed the whole night. I treated them with my mom’s Halo-Halo (since I have to pay for it) Haha. We just had a good time even it was only a simple, unplanned gathering. After they went home, I opened my FB account again and saw the greetings coming from friends and even strangers. Though the greetings flooded my timeline, but still it made me overwhelmed. I want to thank FB for letting people remember my birthday!Hahaha.

The whole day of May 15 went really great. I thought it would just be another normal day, but then my family and friends made it so special. I appreciated all the efforts even for just greeting me on FB, Twitter, or text and even personally. I’m very thankful for all the good things that happened in my life and I’m praying for better things to come in my another year. Now I am NINETEEN, I can say that time really flies so fast. I’m not getting any younger anymore and it was the last year of my teen already. I just want to thank you Lord for all the blessings and for giving me these people who play a big part of my life. I am thankful for this another year and I’m looking forward for more years to come. 

I think I should end this post with a smile :) Thank you Friends!
