Another Year of...

On October 11, 2005, I celebrated my 25th birthday. I woke up with a smile, and I reflected on the past twenty-four years of my life that I can hardly believe happened to me. And while the memories flashed back, I realized the following things:

1. I'm blessed. I think everybody in this world is, in some ways. But, me, especially, because I have a very loving, sweet and smart son, I have the craziest family, the best friends, and God was always there for me, and I believe He will always be.

2. I'm wiser now. Or maybe not. (I think so) But at least nowadays, I think first before I do something. Like e.g, handling money. I used to be bad when it comes to that. Other one is going out with guys. A lot of people find me attractive, but mostly just because of the way I look. Now, I'm being careful, and sensitive enough to let them know that I deserve to be respected. And thirdly, being responsible. I used to depend on some other people for some things. Now, I work hard for the things that I want to achieve in the future.

3. I have the best boyfriend. I never expected somebody like him. So sweet, so caring, so kind, so considerate, so everything. He never hesitated to help me in ways he can. He accepted me for who I was, and who I am now. Although there are times when he picks on me, he will always be in my heart, until I die.

And now, as I move on with my life, I try my best to be a good role model for my son. Honestly, there are times when I get scared as I start to approach adulthood. But now, all I do is tell myself "age is nothing but a number".
