Yesterday was my 16th birthday. Maligayang Kaarawan sa akin. Salamat.

Ang wish ko ay:
Sana kumikita pa din ako ng malaki kahit wala na kong trabaho.
Sana mag-pension na ako at the age of 35.
Sana I wouldn’t have to work. Sana maging ampunin ako ni Bill Gates.

Ang selfish, siempre birthday wish hindi naman beauty pageant wish for World Peace ‘no.

Reality check. There I was sitting at home too lazy to even bathe. Gad that’s the most pathetic birthday scenario I’ve ever seen. Pathetic but not sad. I spent the whole day with my 14-month old son whose boundless energy drained me of my will to even cook pancit. Every time he takes a nap, I also snore beside him. Every time he wakes me up with a giggle, I respond with a hug. All day we did nothing but play hide-&-seek, throw-things-everywhere-mum-will-pick-up. We also ate everything in-sight including my maja blanca. By 9pm, I was still washing the dishes, readying for bed while pogiBoy’s puckered lips wet the pillow.

Too bad Mahal wasn’t there to celebrate my natal day.
