a bright day that is brighter than my future. Hahaha kidding!
I have no plans to celebrate my birthday, as I told my husband, because our budget is limited to everyday expenses, and I'm fine with taking my son to the beach and bathing him. That's all we want for our birthday in March, but his is on a different day. Hehe 😅
Its still a long way away, but he was already planning to prepare food for it. But I changed my mind and simply told him that we would go to the beach to take a bath or swim. So our baby can enjoy it, hehe. So I'm grateful that we were able to go. Hehe.
I was expecting it would be a normal day, but my sister messaged me that she was going to buy me a pizza for my birthday. She has a sari-sari store, so I decided to celebrate there since she can't come to my house because no one will be watching her store. So I went with my nieces and nephews as well as my three siblings. And we are snacks. Our eldest brother is busy that day and my two sister-in-law were doing there laundry and didn't want to go either.
Together with my nieces and nephews; some of them didn't make it into the picture because the space was small and my toddler was crying because it was hot. So we just took a quick picture and then ate.
When we got there, my husband bought another two pieces of pizza from a different store, so we ended up with five pieces of pizza for snacks. And two liters of Coca-cola.
Even it's so simple but I'm still grateful to all the people around me because they make me feel I'm extra special on my birthday especially my sister, because she never missed a day that we didn't together even just pizza. because even then I was used to not preparing for my birthday, especially since my mom passed away because she was the only one who wanted to cook something whenever my siblings and I had birthdays. since she passed away, I never had anything prepared for my birthday again.
turning 28 means I've been through so much in life that I've overcome it all through prayer and lessons learned from my mistakes. So I truly believe that I have learned to deal with my life, and I am aware that I will face many more challenges in the future with my family and kids. and I hope my wishes for my family come true.
I should have posted this blog on the 19th, but there was no signal, so I only did it now. Thankyou for reading, Peace and love.
