This month is a birthday month... It's also my birthday month. It's strange that some people could just request what they want on their birthdays and everyone would do it for them. I'm good at planning surprise birthday celebrations for my friends... but I suck at planning my own :P
Frankly speaking, I always have problems dealing with my own birthday. For many years it has been a comfort that my birthday falls on the eve of All Saints' Day, so I had always attended mass on the evening of my birthday. It's been a somewhat profound experience of my 25th birthday to have a dream come true, but it turns out that it was just nothing but a dream. My 26th birthday was a surprise which turned out to be a horrible disaster subsequently which left me rather scarred. My 27th birthday was the first time I celebrated a birthday without my father, and 28th birthday... I came down from Kaingaran after the spiritual retreat and had dinner alone in Upperstar as I had no plans and everybody was occupied with something somewhat on that day. Thank God I texted a new friend when I was eating and he was willing to go out for some coffee and cheese cake right before the clock struck twelve. The birthday dinner was a day later with some friends... Maybe this year I'd plan my solo visit to the zoo in Cordoba after classes in the morning. Sometimes I wish people would remember my birthday instead of me reminding them always. Haha. My dad was the only person who never forgot my birthday all these years of being his daughter :) For this, I thank God to have given me such a wonderful father.
Sorry for such a depressive entry. It's just how it is like - life is.
