On growing older but wiser


I love celebrating birthdays.It kinda remind me of all the good things getting better as we age.Before sleeping last night,i stick on my tradition of  counting my blessings and write them all down on my gratitude journal.So, as I blow out the candles and enjoy a slice of cake (or two), here are the lessons I’ve learned as I reflect back  after my 27th birthday. The simplest of things matters most,afterall!

😊 I am blessed with true friends.I enjoyed reading all the birthday greetings that goes with a picture or send their tagos pusong personal messages.It mostly came from the truest friends I got.The kind that even if we dont talk for years or  even say hi on facebook, pag birthday ko they instantly make me happy. Keeping my circle with well-rounded friends that inspire me.The lesson, keep your circle  tight,its always quality over quantity.

😊 I always remind myself to always make my parents proud.Trust me,there's no better feeling than making your parents happy.Its a feel-good feeling knowing Ive been a one in a million kind of a daughter! And a sister as well :)


😊Working abroad,the hardest part is to find the kind of people that sync in with your craziness.I will be forever grateful that I have crossed paths with this bunch.Strangers turned friends turned family.
I miss the 'ala king' King Raphael and kasamang magsimba na si Nikko! 

😊 I got a job that I both hate and love!I still complain sometimes,but i thank God every day for giving me something to complain about!haha (kidding aside, it makes me feel more alive knowing that Ive been doing what I love but mostly because at the end of the day I know someone sick gets better because of all the tae ,ihi and dugo I tests.To top it all out, I have to work with best of the bests in the field. I wish to be more passionate in my job! 


😊Happiness is knowing you will never get old alone.Sobrang ipinagpapasalamat ko dahil im blessed with a perfectly imperfect husband.Yung tipong isusubo na lang nya ibibigay pa nya sakin.Someone I will tirelessly gaze in the middle of the night while snoring soundly.I am thankful for waking every morning and having someone to kiss me despite of my bad morning breath. Growing older with my life partner!Cant wait  having kids running around! :)


As you age, do what makes you happy. As we roam around yesterday, I bought a book as a present for myself.Books is one of the few unwavering constants in my life.Flipping pages while drinking coffee in the morning is one of the simple pleasures in life..i actually got inspired and write all my thoughts down.

Well, I also got a bunch of disappointments and failures.Life would be so fair if all my plans and wishes will turn out perfectly well!But life is not.Its always unfair!That what makes it worth-living!

A cent of advice I got from the book is this : " Happiness comes not from having more,not from having less, but from wanting and loving what you have."

I still complain a lot, but Im happy to say,life has been good to me so far!

Thank you Lord for the happiness I have in my heart.I will Praise you for the rest of my life!
