Celebrating the 16th year of my life.
The day that had passed was one of the most memorable days of my life. Not because something so drastic has changed, but because it made me realize how much I achieved during the 16 years I have been on this earth.
Emotionally, physically and mentally I have grown through the years and May 11, 2005 has proved that once again, I was able to go through it all.
I celebrated my birthday with my friends and family at two different occasions. No music, no games, no parties. But just two small gatherings throughout the day.
After my usual training with the club, I treated the Sayawatha members to some Sundae cones from Mcdo. Although I would've wanted my barkada, my 07 friends and my busmates to be there too, I didn't really have the budget to accommodate them all. Sorry guys :D
Remembering and seeing the Sayawatha members have proved that I have reached a milestone in my life. It proved that I was lucky to have such wonderful friends and companions. It also proved that I have achieved one of my dreams when I became a member of the club. I can never thank them enough for all the things they taught me. :D
I then had another small celebration with my family. They treated me to some Italian restaurant in Eastwood and it was nice. I discovered that there's nothing better than to celebrate the life you live with the people who made you and had guided you to be who you are now. I truly love and thank my family for that. That celebration proved that as a family, we are strong and was able to go through the hardships that life had brought us. From all the arguments, misunderstandings and whatnots... we were able to go through it all as one loving family. I can never thank my parents and my brothers enough for all the love, encouragement and happiness they have brought me.
As my special day ended though, sadness filled me. One because it reminded me that my birthday is over and I still have a lot to learn and live for. And two, because it reminded me of the problems that I still have yet to face and try to overcome.
I really can't put much detail about my problems, but I sure hope God'll still guide me and let me live to go through it all. I wake up and breathe everyday, thankful that He gave me the chance to accomplish the mission He has given me.
(I'm sorry if this is a little rough and choppy, but I'm kind of having a writer's block again :D)
