Imperfect
 A Whisper from my soul
All things that humans do are all charged to their faults.
God made our mind to control anything and made our heart to balance everything.
But what really lies from that existence depends on one's self.
What you do in your life depends on your strength and courage.
One beginning, different plot, one end; that's the real story of life.

Journal: The Greatest Gift I Received On My Birthday
Monday, November 27, 2006
8:53:00 PM
November 15, 2006, Wednesday - it's my eighteenth birthday. An overwhelming wave of sadness washed over me like never before. It was an unfamiliar emotion, perhaps due to the fact that I was away from home for the first time on this special day, and to make matters even more poignant, my father was absent, a departure from our usual tradition. Throughout the years, my birthday had always been a joyous occasion filled with the presence of friends and family. However, this year, circumstances led me to celebrate alone. Warm greetings poured in from my college and high school friends, and my dormmates made sincere efforts to lift my spirits. Yet, despite their kind gestures, there remained an inexplicable hollowness deep within me. Even the heartfelt messages from my dear mother and sisters couldn't fill the void I felt. There was a missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle of my birthday, and I longed for its presence... and then... Belated happy birthday. Pasensya ka na anak, tatawagan sana kita kaya lang naitawag ko kay mama mo. Nagpadala ako ng picture dito sa work. Nakaraos na naman ng isang taon sa buhay mo. Hope and pray na sana mas prosper pa ang darating na kabanata ng buhay mo. Sa iyo wala kaming masasabi ni mama mo. Proud kami sa iyo. Isa lang bilin ko para sa iyo, maging open ka kay mama at sa mga taong tumutulong sa iyo o sa atin. Wish you luck and God bless... - PapaThen I felt relieved. It’s that one text message that completed my birthday. Labels: birthday, mythoughts |
