17 to 23

People naturally write when they are overwhelmed - - - and birthdays are, without question, one of those things that can easily overwhelm - - - they create the red kind of happiness, the feeling when the world notices you and ‘you’re the center of your universe’ isn’t just a line. You wake up to warm greetings and thoughtful gifts, and for a certain moment it feels like Christmas, only in a different month.
I didn’t have a happy birthday. I had a happy birth-week.
And I’m letting my multiply pictures do most of the telling this time (you need to be my contact to see!).

Thank you to everyone who celebrated my 25th! High School friends, College friends, Friends overseas who remembered (naks), FACA, Karen, Ate Aisha, dotPH, my 4dapat - Br, Clar, Ben, Prox, Vim & the 3baldboys - denni, oti & jp; Anne’s SGV friends; Ma & Pa, the whole family, and my twin sis who gave me the coolest gift ever. Salamat ha!

There wasn’t an MBP to celebrate what is now my quarter-life but surprisingly I didn’t mind. And if I still have to explain why then you must have not seen the smile in my eyes.
