25th birthday

I feel like I have two birthdays this year: yesterday and today. Yesterday, I celebrated it with my family and my boyfriend. Today, which is my actual birthday, was spent by answering greetings on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and SMS, watching SONA, and attending the 6pm mass.

This morning I arranged the flowers given by TJ on a flower vase. I just randomly put it on the vase and displayed it on our altar. I don’t have the talent in flower arrangement so it doesn’t really look nice. Haha. I, then, realized how gifted the florists are. I wish I have that talent too!

Because I wasn’t able to wear my “birthday dress” yesterday, I just took pictures of me wearing it today. TJ didn’t allow me to wear a dress; baka masilipan daw ako while watching the PBA games.

Bought this dress from a thrift store. <3

And another…

At 6pm, I went to church to attend the mass. Tears fell down from my eyes when the priest mentioned about “blessed are those who wait” during the homily. It is because before the mass started, I prayed and thanked God for making me happy this day. “Diba Lord, sabi niyo… blessed are those who wait… Eto na… happy na uli ako.” And during the Prayers of the Faithful, they also mentioned about couples who had problems, that they may be reunited by love, be strengthened by their faith, and be reconciled. This is it. This is the answer from God. And I don’t know how many times I said thank you during the mass. I just couldn’t believe that this is happening. I thought that I am starting a new life without him… but then, God still wants us to be together.

In a few hours, my special day will end. Back to normal life: school and work. I still can not believe that I am already 25 because seriously, I still feel young! Nagmumurang kamatis! Haha! It is probably because I still don’t have that much of responsibilities at home or in my life, generally speaking. Sigh, I really wish that I’ll still get those things I pray for. I know I can’t get them all in one snap. I know they will come at the right time. So here I am, waiting again…
