Happy Birthday To Me!

Last weekend I went to Puerto Galera with my NSP barkada to celebrate my 26th birthday in advance. It was super, super fun even though only Shing and me did not have a partner. Actually we explored the place as a group, walang couples na nagkanya-kanya... there were even times when we girls would separate with the boys and we go check out the cute dudes at the beach (who by the way turned out to be gays).

In that short time, we were able to experience a lot of things Galera had to offer. We went swimming, sun bathing, snorkeling (I saw a yellow Sea Horse!), fish feeding, Banana boat ride, crawled in the tunnel, get drunk and even let Galera's famous manghuhula to read my right palm(lovelife). That part was the most exciting! He was right about my past but I still have to find out if he was right about my future. hehehe

Another memorable thing we did was watch the sunset. I have never seen a sunset at the beach where you can actually see the sun fades into the horizon. It was so romantic, parang gusto kong agawin yung cute na boypren ng nasa tabi ko. Hay ndi naman sya maganda, mas sexy pa ako! life is so unfair talaga! hehehe

At the time we arrived we got so disappointed with the beach coz mas maganda pa yung public beach sa Cebu, I just pity the Manilenos that they have to travel that far to see a mediocre beach. But then with such exper iences you can get in that small island... you'd see why people are willing to take that long travel. Iba talaga sa Galera. =)

I had a happy weekend so I couldn't stop smiling until my birthday yesterday. Although medyo things are not so good with my life right now... I was still able to have reasons to be happy.

Yesterday wasn't as romantic as my last birthday where I celebrated my birthday in Cloud Nine. But it was a meaningful one. Even before the clock struck at 12 midnight, I was already receiving birthday greetings from my friends who were already sleepy and could not longer hold their eyes to wait for May 17. Ang galing that the first person to greet me after midnight was the first person to greet me last year. He was actually just 3 minutes earlier than Lizette. =)

I went to mass after work and head to Super Bowl for my dinner treat to my family. It was raining cats and dogs which made it hard for my cousins to reach Glorietta.. that's why we were there waiting for them from 7 pm to 9:30. I don't know but it's always raining on my birthday, but then I just thought of it as blessings that will be poured upon me this year.

My friends and cousins were super hungry that night that's why were so noisy at the restaurant. Oh well kahit ndi gutom maingay pa rin naman kami. hehehe At nakakainis pa kasi nasisimula ko nang ma-experience yung kalbaryo ng isang single woman pag tumuntong na ng 26 and above. Kinukulit na ako ng mga tita, pinsan at pamangkin ko na mag asawa. Eh wala pa nga akong boypren asawa pa! Imagine kung 40 years old pa ako mag aasawa I will be suffering this for 14 years! Hay!

Pero di bale ndi ako magpapadala sa kanila, I know better and I'm still enjoying my time as a single person. Syempre there are times na nalulungkot ako if I get hit of a sudden burst of loneliness and when I startasking myself again why things didn't work out. But I really have to be careful this time, my heart cannot afford another pain anymore. "I felt like exposing myself to another possible hurt would just kill me."

I promise myself that that person who came into my life summer of last year will be the last person to hurt me.

So I don't care if my relatives won't stop bugging me about getting a boyfriend or getting married.

Oh well.. with all the things that had happened, I thought I was going to be sad on my birthday but being surrounded with special people who truly make up my life, made me forget about one person that I just lost.
Life is full of blessings.. and i'm hopeful that this year will bring me better things. Anyway I just learned that positive thinking can keep you stay young. =)
