my 2nd celebration away from home.
we had a simple dinner, which were prepared by my partner and godson...
and very special people in my life came... my family here in dubai.
same as the usual party that we have, it was fun and filled with laughter.
there were no new faces that night... its the same us...
having a good time... celebrating life!
compared to last year, there were so many blessings to count...
and having a 29 candles is not enough to name each one.
ok! maybe i can share... 29 of them:
1. I was still able to celebrate the day that I was born... meaning I am still alive :)
2. I still manage to see the sunshine and feel the heat of summer... meaning I am still healthy.
3. I blew my candles at 12:01AM... meaning I was able to start my special day that early and happy.
4. My friends came over that night as well... meaning I have sweet and loving friends.
5. And I had an awesome sleep after... having a comfortable bed... and a place to stay.
6. I called my nanay and tatay, to thank them for the life and love that they gave... I still have them around.
7. I was able to have a chat conversation with my nephews and niece and they expressed their love through that... I have a beautiful family.
8. Friends and officemates sent greetings... means they remembered me on my day.
9. My aunties, uncles and cousins extended their greetings... means I have a loving relatives.
10. I had a tons of workload in the office that day... means I still have my job.
11. I gave pancit to 2 other pinoy officemates... means I have enough to share.
12. I had a fight with the taxi driver (who is so rude, as always) on my way to Ericson's place... meaning I still have some money for the taxi fare.
13. When I arrived at Kawakeb (our ancestral home here in Dubai), Erika and Ericson were so busy preparing the food... there are food.
14. And there are loving persons who prepared.
15. Then, they surprised me with a wall full of photos... showing that I lived a happy life.
16. Together with those photos are messages from different people, friends and family... I am loved.
17. As we are having party, the room was place was filled with fun and laughter... I can still enjoy life.
18. I have a beautiful life ahead of me to celebrate...
19. And I am grateful for that.
20. The party ended the next morning, around 5AM... it went through happily, and nothing wrong happened.
21. We all went home... safely.
22. And still, we have a home.
23. And Erika has been with me still.
24. I had a good night rest that night/morning... I have peace of mind.
25. And as I woke up the next afternoon, my journey to 30 started... I have hope.
26. The least that I can do to thank the Lord for everything is to pray... I still know how.
27. And the connection with Him is still there... I have my faith.
28. I am blessed and I know that I am.
29. Because I love my Lord and I know that HE feels the same... and even more.
.
I am always contented with what happens...
for I know that God's decision are better than mine.
