spectacular, remarkable, bright and full of light!
i told my mom the night before, when i wake up tomorrow, i want my birthday gift to be at the foot of my bed ok? hahaha and you know mom, in sweden, it's tradition to wake the celebrant with a breakfast tray (hint hint)! my mom said, get a boyfriend and tell all that to him! hahaha
when i woke up, it was a beautiful day. i went to my bedroom stairs, and there it was, a white shiny package tied with a red ribbon. i knew what it was, weeks before. i love getting gifts in the morning. it doesn't matter what it is, or how small. the thought and the pleasant surprise of something waiting for you when you wake up... it's just priceless. i've always wanted to recieve a gift in the morning, just like christmas when we were kids. and now, after the longest time, it happened again. it was wonderful!
the card said: for my our angel, happy birthday! i we love you... momi & ichan. when you flip it over, there is a quote that says:
Beware of what you want for you will get it.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
it gave me shivers - the powerful, cosmic, frightening ones (because you know it's true). my mom knows me more than i think she does. and i know, i know it will happen and i will get it and that i should beware.
we had birthday breakfast at kopi rotti. i noticed, why is everything full of light today? everything has..a golden hue. it's almost like i'm not in the worst place in the world anymore haha. everything was just fine. kopi rotti reminded me of singapore when j and i had breakfast that zombie morning at the cafe near bugis backpackers, almost exactly the same as kopi rotti. same kind of light, same eggs, same delicious iced tea. it was a wonderful feeling, to go back to that place in time (a month ago, hehe)!
anyway, we talked about old classmates (because janna garcia called me!) and my mom asked about my other k-2 friends. sabi ko hindi na sila remarkable haha. and with such lightness, i realized, wow, i did turn out ok, didn't i? i am remarkable, spectacular and bright! no matter how hard things get, or how depressing and sad it is, i still, unfailingly, stand by myself and believe in what i can do. i'm the best girl in class, the star girl! i can achieve my dreams! it's the ever-flaming (haha) light inside of me.
full of light!!!
and that's something to be thankful for, something to celebrate!
and i realized, i love my birthday! (o self-centered lang ba ako? haha) i love celebrating with as much fun as possible because you really do have something to celebrate for - YOU'RE ALIVE! you've reached another year, and you're fine, nothing terribly bad happened to you, you didn't get into an accident, you didn't kill yourself, you still believe in your dreams, you're ALIVE! it's not about aging AT ALL, it's about LIVING!

isn't that just THE BEST THING EVER! :)))
for the rest of the day, i read my new harry potter book, went to UP to shoot my 1969 armstrong video with kathy, ate at chocokiss, got a wonderful present from kiddie-ate kathy: set yourself on fire!!! (i'm not sorry there's nothing to SAVE pala!) bought some cakes at shoppersville, went to church, and recieved lots and lots and lots of messages from friends. i felt so loved! and this boy i like from far-away wrote me the best letter ever. :-)
thank you...
