ONE LOVE

Yuck feeling Mary J. Blige ako!

Anyway, it's been a week since my birthday. I had dinner with some friends, lunch with my officemates, a small dinner with dad and bro (family dinner pending til this weekend to celebrate mine and my mom's birthday) and a day wearing my maxi dress with laurence. I know what you're thinking... me in a maxi dress?! but hey, it was my birthday and it felt good.

So i got a nice dress from kim, a bag charm and a clutch from simon, spa gcs from arbie, flowers from marwin and laurence, earrings from chesca, a top from don, perfume from jen and a couple of other knicknacks and im 27. im personally grateful for all the material things that i got but im more glad that more people remembered. my brother and some friends always joke that i only have a few friends so i cant afford to piss off anyone anymore, but i think that the ones on my speed dial are gonna be around for a long time. hey, i know how to pick them. they're usually a wee bit desperate. kidding!

it feels odd to say this again, but 10 years ago, i seriously thought i'd be more kick-ass in my 20s, let alone in my late 20s. im probably as kick-ass as i possibly can be but i always thought i'd be more. some days i feel old and tired but most days, i still feel good about where i am. part of it is because i tend to sometimes look back at some stuff that's happened to me and i wonder where my life would be if i had stayed at another job, with another guy, or if i never moved from the pit that was my life a few months ago. then i feel good that as surprising the turnout of events were, i like that i learn and i go on. life is still good.

one love people. one love.
