Birthdays are Special

This was supposedly published a few days after my birthday (June 15) but unfortunately, due to weak internet connection, I didn't noticed that it was saved in drafts rather than being published. Anyway, here it is:


I celebrated my birthday last week and I can say that it was a simple yet meaningful celebration.

When I was young, I keep asking myself as well as my parents why I don't have fancy birthday celebrations just like what my classmates and friends has. As you might know, my birthday is June 15 and it is normally the first or probably the 2nd day of school classes. My parents don't have enough budget to buy and prepare special menu and dishes for my birthday as it was already spent on tuition fees, books, uniforms, notebooks and other school related stuffs.

I grow up longing for a grand birthday celebration --but it still never happens. However, as time passes by, I realized that birthdays are not just mere celebrating with cakes, pastries, pastas, flavorful dishes and the like. It is more of being grateful for the year that God had given me and for all the wonderful blessings that I've received throughout the year --blessings that are more than what the eye can see.

I know that God had showered me countless blessings that includes my family, friends, my jetski, my precious gabby and of course, my life.
