It’s weird, I’ve been getting so many advanced birthday greetings since last week. My appreciation to the following who sent birthday greetings although malayo pa birthday ko:
Lynda Rivera, Angie Ramos, Susan Faustino, Eugene Durusan, Milagros Diestro-Trias, Salud Capili, Tony Lagarejos, Icon Patag-Galang, Jose Cenal Paran, Leciram Picones, Jhomar Aramil, Rowena Chulvo, Shirley Espejo-Chulvo, Lorna Limpante, Sally Ramada, Jane Apostadero, Arthur Ritona, Merlina Gonzaga, Alicia Maaba, Rene Aczon, Edith Jacob, Liza Buen.
I was born on one summer morning in May some gazillion years ago. Three and a half months still to go.
It’s also nice to receive so many greetings in advance basta pagdating ng May 27 please be ready with your gifts. Actual gifts. Hindi yung pa drawing-drawing lang ng cake and gifts and balloons from the internet.
Nakaw nakaw nakaw. I am going to be one year older again. Not that I don’t like to get any older. I want. Never mind if I am beginning to look like miswang overcooked. Edmund said okay daw yun na magmumukha kaming matanda, ibig sabihin, BUHAY pa kami. Kasi we are living and continuously aging. Tama sya. Kaya never mind na kung minsan nade-depress ako sa mukha ko.
Have you ever experienced feeling so good that day, nice dress, comfortable shoes, basta you feel so happy tapos when you look at your face on the mirror… “Ayy, sagwa”. But once in a while, like last Thursday, I was on my way to my luncheon meeting feeling low. Para akong naluluha-luha pa for no reason. I was feeling down. When we were some 10 minutes away to my destination, I checked my face, pag tingin ko sa salamin, “Uy, ang cute ko pala”.
I am in the mood to buy something for myself. I want to scratch my credit card. Kahit magkang-tutunaw sya. Seryoso talaga ako. I want to give myself a birthday gift for reaching this age and I have three months to prepare. Next year, I will also give myself a birthday gift. Tapos the year after that. And lalo na the year after that. I will really buy myself a gift. May pera man ako o wala, basta, I will give myself something. And I am saying that with conviction.
Iniisip ko pa kung ano.
