Silver

It's been a long time since I posted here. :)

I've always kept a journal ever since I was in high school but stopped in college from then on because I was 'living life' instead of blogging about it.

Now I feel I have more time to write...I don't know if that's good. haha

I’m 25 years old now. I threw a party consisting of friends and family to celebrate. Just a small barbecue at my house and ofcourse, some booze.

I saw my Facebook page and there are a lot of people who greeted, even people whom I never really made contact with. Wow.

A really good friend of mine gave me a silver necklace- yes, because I’m already celebrating my silver years. Sweet.

Today is my first birthday without Dad. We had a celebration of his birthday two days ago. A lunch party. Mom put together a Dad memorabilia display, like his sunglasses, aftershave, clothes he often wears and a bottle of San Miguel Pale Pilsen. Together with his picture frames all over the living room, our house looked like a museum of Dad. I thought Dad would’ve felt mortified if he was alive!

My sister is in Oman and it feels weird not having her around. She texted me and said she was having cake with her husband and my niece Aspen at a park nearby their house in celebration of my birthday. Aspen kept blowing the candle. I can only imagine that funny little girl…it’s her birthday today and she turns 2.

And I just turned 25. It ain’t so bad. I feel like I’m 25 anyway. I don’t feel as if there’s something I missed out on. In fact, I think I’m learning at the right pace.
