I consider myself lucky...more like very blessed.
The first quarter of my life went through without me having to give up an arm and a leg in the process...in other words, I came out of it alive and pretty much satisfied.
True, I've had my fair share of emotional and catastrophic events...but none I could think of that would made me say "life is not fair!!!"
To be honest with you...I think I somehow know why I am so damn lucky. It may be because I've obeyed my parents (especially my mom) 95% of the time. Or maybe because when I was a kid, I never missed a prayer before I went to bed...and maybe it has some relation to the fact that I never miss a prayer every day. Or maybe because when my mom was giving birth to me...I came out along with poop. Didn't they say poop is lucky?
Anyway, I am grateful...grateful for everything. I thank God every single moment that I can for everything.
One of the perks that comes along with being very blessed is the fact that I have gone through this crazy little thing called love in so many levels unscathed. Yup, I have no battle scars...no broken heart...and no scary stories to tell about having been screwed up by someone or having been cheated on. Whenever I share this with people, they always tell me, "do not speak too soon" or "you'll get your fair share someday." Very encouraging eh?
Believe me, those things have crossed my mind. But why dwell on the negativity? I've always believed that hoping for the best is the right way to go...or at least the happier way to go.
Which brings me to the point of this blog
Two years ago, I went out with this guy whom I thought was going to bore me to death in our first date. I even had two of my guy friends in the wings waiting for me to sound the alarm in case I get so damn bored that I needed friends to perk things up. Fortunately, I trusted my gut feel and gave the whole thing a chance. And up to this day, that was absolutely one of the bestest decisions I've made in life.
I am so amazingly blessed because God gave me you. Like an old song went, out of all the girlies in the world...he belongs to me.
