Thank you post

[This is a delayed post]

I would like to thank everyone who greeted me and celebrated with me on my birthday.. You know who you are.. I need not to list it here.. =) Again, THANK YOU!

You're effort, be it a phone call, a text, or a web message meant a lot to me.. Coz that made me realize that I am a good person loved by everyone whom I love too..

Another year is given to me..

For a year that has passed, almost 80% of it was spent living alone in a country with a very different values with my home land. For two consecutive years, I celebrated my birthday away from home, and with no fail, I always do resent that idea.. but at the end of my special day, I still am thankful for blessing me of such sweet and loving friends that assured me that I am not alone and that even though I'm far away with my loved ones, I managed to gain friends away from home.

Different from the other birthdays that I had before, this was a major turning point in my life. There were decisions that I have chose that I knew will greatly affect the directions of my life. Everyone close to me knows exactly what I am telling here...

A friend of mine told me on my birthday, when he/she asked me of my birthday wish, that he/she was happy to know that finally I've come to decide on what I want. And it struck me that yes, he/she was right. I am not really a decision maker when it comes to myself. I hardly decide on what to do based on just what I want.. I always make it a point that everyone will be pleased on every decision that I make. But then, that won't always be the case. There will come a time , that I must decide on what I want, whether my loved ones like it or not, as long as my happiness and peace of mind is concerned. =)

I'm way too far from maturity.. I still am a kid at heart.. but I know.. at this point of my life, some things should be taken maturely.

A lot of good and bad things happened for my 23rd year.. happy and sad moments.. of every positive aspects that came into my life.. I'm thankful.. for it made me a stronger person.. of every negative aspects that came into my life, I'm thankful too, for it made me better person..

For 23 years of my existence, I learned not to regret anything, because on everything that has happened to me.. everything was my choice. =)
