many thanks.

the many years of my life were a mixture of good and not-so-good memories and experiences. there were failures but oftentimes it was dealt with acceptance and love from my parents and friends whose patience and presence never failed to shed some light and has always encouraged me to persevere and do things my way. they have always been and i know that they will always be behind me to give guidance and support for my future endeavors.

another year has eclipsed. full of memories and experiences which molded and will keep me educated and motivated for the rest of my life. though i’ve always striven for perfection in everything i do, i know my life will never be perfect for as cliche as it may seem, i am but human and imperfection is inevitable. maybe that is the essence of it all, being imperfect but still embraced by someone equally imperfect. then you become the perfect pair. complimenting each others imperfection as you traverse the bitter-sweet experiences life has to offer.

the future is bright however the way that leads to it is rough and tough. i may falter and fall yet i will stand up and move on for every trial may slow me down but never will stop me, especially i know that my God is my refuge and strength. this has been tested over and over again and never let me down.

special thanks to my family for always being there, supporting my not-so-popular decisions. your guidance and support will always be appreciated for i know that you guys will always be the refuge i’ll come home to whenever i have faltered.

thanks to my friends. you all know who you are. for listening and for all the advices you have all given me through these years. we are time tested and our bond will never be broken by petty quarrels and misunderstandings. you’ve shown me the true meaning of friendship where accepting each others fault is easier and forgiving is just a breeze. looking forward to many more years of great friendship ahead.

thanks to my special someone for her unwavering love and support though we’ve been tested time and time again. the future ahead of us is a bumpy ride full of trials that could test our love, however as long as we are together, we can never go wrong. just hold on tight and never let go, for i never will. looking forward to spending the rest of my happy life with you, my princess.

thanks to my God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. though i’ve been quite busy this past year and a lot of times forgot to acknowledge and thank you, rest assured that i will do my best to give thanks to you as much as i could. thank you for giving me another year and i hope a lot of more years to come. i may live the life i wanted but its never complete unless i lift it all up to you.

for all its worth and for everything unappreciated, life has given me the memories and experiences fit to describe me the best mortal as i can ever be, until this day that i so proudly claim…

…this is my day! this is my birthday! 🙂
