I'm finally "18"! Yeah right....
Well, you know that I'm joking but then again, I honestly stop counting how many years to my age after I was no longer a teen. I guess that is because I'm in denial and refuse to accept the reality.
Now I can only look back on the excitement of having to add a year to my age from my childhood photos.
Look how happy was I when I know I'm going to celebrate my birthday when I was a kid.
Time is really extremely important when you know you have a goal, a mission and a purpose in your life. We will never complain life is too long, time is too much or seasons pass too slowly.
The most memorable birthday are when I was 18 and another I could not remember the exact year but it was a few years back.
Recapping why it was so special to me on the 18th birthday is because my Buddy surprised me with what every women would love. Hand-made roses,a present, a cake with my "chio" (pretty) face and I had to eat it all by myself, I would say it was the most delicious cake on earth..... yeah..... because my face was on it. Candles lighted around the cake at the back of the boot of his little red devil car. Till now it was just like it happened yesterday. The other was a very simple surprise but it caught me off guard by my BFF. She came over to my place without me knowing when I was actually not in a good mood but I came back seeing her and my birthday cake.... it's heartwarming.
This year, it's the beginning to more happy "Happy Birthdays" for me. I'm grateful for everything and everyone who stayed by me no matter rain or shine. Many things changed, but without these changes I will not understand who and what are to be treasured and kept by my side.
Birthday celebrations without food is not considered a celebration. So here are some of the snaps of the food I had with my love ones.
When you have your own kids, they seem to be more happy when it's yours or whoever birthday. Sometimes I wonder when I choose to celebrate is it to make them happy?
