A Bunch Of Blessings on my Birthday

It's been quite a while after my last blog, sad but I can't seem to find ways to share due to busy schedules. However, now is a better opportunity to publish my heart because it's my Birthday.

My birthday (Nov 7) was declared as holiday for the celebration of the Feast of Sacrifice. On the contrary, I would like narrate my blessings preceding my sacrifices.

Let me begin my day when I woke up. I was awoken by the greetings of families... my Mama, Bunso and my only love, Kurt. It's nothing new to me, I grew old waking up to greetings of Mama and Papa, only that those greetings I grew old with were always accompanied by rich aromas of foods that is to be served in the afternoon (my parties always began in the afternoon because my Mama told me that I was born 3pm). Not until I was in college, now I don't celebrate my birthday with foods and visitors anymore. A heartfelt lunch with complete attendance of my family members and a blessing of holy water and a prayer with the priest would complete my day.

Before noon,we went to the market to buy chows for lunch. Kurt and my brother Allen wanted grilled Liempo for our late lunch. After dealing with the household chores and cooking, the family had lunch together with my brother's girlfriend, Jessa. We had a full stomach and a good laugh. :) It could have been better if Papa is with us. I was happier when he called and greeted me. I missed him so much.

After lunch, we rested. Then Kurt and I prepared for church. We went to Antipolo Church for mass and for blessing of holy water. Mama can't go with us because she needs more rest and bunso will have to watch over the store for her.

Apart from this, is my simultaneous checking of Facebook. Greetings poured in from friends and relatives... some were from overseas.

The whole day itself and the people around me made me very thankful of the blessings I have in my life. More than thankful, I don't think I'm even deserving of all of it. I got the best family, the best of friends and the best of love. What more could I ask for? I got a handful of money and material thing right, but I got more than that. I am rich and over pouring with miracles, faith, prayers, love and good people. It's all I ever need.

So I want to take this opportunity to thank the people who means so much to me.

First, to old friends who surprisingly called and greeted me all the way from Singapore. You don't know how much that call means to me. It was very special, thank you.
