entanglement of all sorts

When I celebrated my birthday at JDSC, the teachers sang Happy Birthday and asked me to make a wish before I blow the candle. Without thinking about it, I immediately answered, "Kontento na ako sa buhay ko. Wala na akong wish." I said that with a satistied smile. Everyone looked at me as if I were a bizarre creature, completely out of place. Was not supposed to be there, with them.

Almost everyone who greeted me had this line in their greeting (or something like this): I know that you’re happy with your life right now, I hope it will stay that way for a REALLY long time.

I realized, "Oo nga no? Masaya ako sa buhay ko at wala akong masiyadong prinoproblema." A loving and supportive family. A good relationship with CJ. True friends. A fulfilling work. A malapit-ng-matapos-na-pag-aaral. What more could I ask for?

I am really blessed. Thank you for the greetings, the wishes, the gifts, the surprises, the birthday songs and your presence. All of you made my birthday special. Love you, muah!
