 Today would have been mom's 58th birthday. It's been three years and miss ko pa din sha. Not a day goes by na hindi ko sha naiisip. I am comforted by the fact that I know she's in a better place and she's looking out for us by Jesus' side. This is one of my favorite pictures of mom. Not only because this was the last picture I took of her, but she looks so contented here. Happy birthday, Ma. I love you.

Finally, after a week of blog non-activity, I'm back. :) Hopefully, this will be a happier post than the last one.Yesterday was my sister's
birthday. There was no big celebration (just like I want mine to be
:D), we just cooked spaghetti and pizza and shared it as a family.
Yumm...As of today, it looks like our annual swimming trip is
going to push through. I've spoken with two of my aunts over the
weekend about it. I'm going to my tita's house tomorrow and we're going
to plan it. Yey!Some friends and I are also planning a trip to
Puerto Galera, sometime in May. I hope it pushes through, coz the last
time we went on a beach sojourn was three years ago. :) It's about time.If both swimming trips pushes through, I'm preparing myself for patong-patong na sunburn.
Woohaha! No biggie though. I can jsut stock up on Papaya soap and I'll
be back to my normal coloring in no time at all. Besides, the trip and
the company would be worth it.My birthday is exactly six days away.Six days until I hit the big 30.Yikes!Honestly though, I don't feel like I'm gonna be 3 decades old. Sana, I
don't look like it, too. Hahaha! The only time I feel older is when I
see my younger cousins and the siblings of my friends. That's when I
notice how big they are now, when I can still remember them in diapers.
Nyak!It doesn't bother me that I'm getting older. What bothers
me is when people ask the never-ending question: "When are you getting
married?" Goodness! I think the whole time I've had this blog, I've
written about this everytime my birthday is coming up. Maybe they're
just curious, or they have a nosy personality. I don't know. The
question per se doesn't bother me, what bothers me is how some people
ask it, like I'm to be pitied because I'm not married yet. Ugh! Hello?
I don't need your pity. Of course, I'd like to get married one day, but
I'm not rushing and I'm not worried, so why should you be? It's not
like I'll be miserable if I'm not married. Can't I be single, fabulous
and love it? ;)Sometimes I think about the what ifs, and then
I'd realize that if it's meant to be, then it will happen. Does that
sound fatalistic? :p I guess so, but I just like to take things as they
come.
I was talking to Clare a few days back and I mentioned that
I'm a bit scared of turning 30. Not because I'm not married yet, but
because I'm not anywhere near the goals I've set upon turning this
age. I feel like there's so much I can accomplish but I haven't yet,
and I'm getting a bit impatient. Classic quarter life crisis. Aren't I
over it yet? Hehehe!
I think this Holy Week is a good time for me to reflect on it. :)
