29

I was never really the type of person who cares about having a birthday party. I always go on birthday leave and misses the Sunday church on this week. I was just not comfortable being the center of attention.

But this year is different - I had a bit of a birthday blues. Naplano ko nang icelebrate it with Wellong, Gem, and Team4One, but nearing the date, parang gusto ko andun mga kapatid ko and maybe a few dear friends. I kinda wanted to be surrounded with people dear to me when the clock hits 12.

It was a humble and awkward celebration but what touched me was, they were there not for what's in it for them, but what it meant to me. A few hours later (Sunday afternoon), I also had a little celebration with my churchmates who I also love.

Mamamatay na ba ako, or mag-aasawa (wow, both are scary)? Ewan ko. Basta I felt, there is something to do this for. Or baka kasi it's the last of my twenties? Maybe.

Nagpapasalamat ako sa kanilang lahat na nakasama ko nung araw na ito, and to those who expressed their love for me. God bless you all for your kindness.

Lord Jesus, thank You!
