IT'S MY DAY!!!!

It's my day!!, how fast the days came and now again it's MY BIRTHDAY!!! i really don't worry of getting older but i am worried of getting old without doing something to make my life meaningful and worthwhile for the sake of others. I can now say that my dreams and aspirations in life had been coming true bit by bit eventhough i'm not that successful in my career, even my showbiz career (hehehehe!). I just like to have a simple life, maybe that's also the reason why GOD has not given me, my family the riches everybody loves to have. It's simply because HE wanted us/me to stay humble and experience HIS LOVE and realized that material things are not important in this world. Though many times we encountered so much problems and burdens financially, these make me a better person and i've learned to TRUST and HOLD to HIM. As i've said i don't have the riches in this world offers but i can say i have treasures to keep. Treasures that no one can take that away from me, first my my family, my precious friends, people who believed in everything that i do, and those people who loves me dearly (*winks*).

This morning when i woke up, i found a letter inserted below my door, written outside the envelope "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE". I already knew where it came from, it was from my youngest sister, as a short story few days before my day i had a sort of "sama ng loob" for her because she's being "pasaway" for the past months. My parents had been worried of her studies (she's a working student), she didn't enrolled this sem because of some reasons and been coming home late. Monday was a holiday so i had the chance to make a general cleaning of my room, it was already 7pm when i finished then i rested for awhile and arranged my clothes in the cabinet. After awhile of being alone in my room, i've been thinking of how my life would be if i was that or this, i had the time to reflect on my past years, my mistakes, what we had encountered and our present problems and i just felt my pillows are wet with tears already, i was crying so hard to the point i put the pillow to my mouth so that no one would hear me crying. Tuesday morning i heard my papa asking my youngest sister what's wrong and what she has been doing, when i entered their room i butt in and make "sulsol", i told her "kaya na nya ata mag-isa, bukas ang pintuan, gusto mo ako pa mag-ayos ng damit mo?", then i left. That was the last words i uttered to her and i felt heavy that day. That night i had a choir practice i got home late, i was so tired but still thinking of what had happened that morning and when my mind was tired i fell asleep. Now, that i had the letter on my hand i got back to bed lying reading the 3-page letter and as i read it my tears began to fall and i found myself sobbing with joy in my heart. It really touches me coz she always say that i'm her "IDOL" and she was very very sorry about everything.

I heard my cellfone ringing and saw lots of messages coming from my friends who greeted me. It really made my day and i realized how GOD has blessed me not with material things but with what i have right now. I thank GOD for another year of so much blessings..my family, my precious friends and to all the people who always believed in me and loved me *winks*. My one dream that came true was last sunday when i had the chance to celebrate my birthday with some of my friends in the SFC community together with the kids in our GK site. A really wonderful experience sharing what you have to those unfortunate children, you'll see those smiling faces which really melts my heart. I still have more to come, i'll just share it to you when it finally arrived.

It's been a blessed 30 years for me, whatever the plans of GOD for me i'll embrace it wholeheartedly.

Thank you to my papa and mama who's always been supportive with whatever i do inspite of my shortcomings and mistakes in the past. I LOVE YOU!!!
