Happy Birthday, Dear Blog!

4 years. Hmm. It's been a while.
Glad to still have you in my life.
=)

This greeting is 11 days late.
Haha

Some things never change.

It was how it was with "Snow White", "Cinderella", "Sleeping Beauty", "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast", and "The Princess and The Frog".

Now, after watching "Tangled", I realize that it definitely is still how it is:

I still love fairy tales.

And, yes, I am 31 years old.

I have a feeling I will love them until I am 70.
Or forever.

Whichever comes later.

Took my love and I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides?
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Well, I've been afraid of changin'
'Cause I've built my life around you
But time makes bolder, children get older
I'm getting older too, well

So take this love and take it down
Yeah, and if you climb a mountain and you turn around
And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well, the landslide brought down

And if you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well maybe, well maybe, well maybe
The landslide will bring you down

I am about to leave my 20s.

This statement poses a lot of questions.

Hopefully, I would be able to come up with answers.

I know, I know. I'm just being emotional.

But, really, what is 30 like?

I don't feel "30", at all.

Yeah, yeah, I'm still in denial.

=P

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Happy birthday to the man who's never, in my entire life, ever let me down.

I wish you good health and happiness always!

Happy Birthday, Jacqueline Louise!

Today being her birthday, Jackie took my hand and led me to the mall's toy section so she could choose which doll to buy.

Which to choose?

It proved to be a difficult task.

But she soon (or not so soon) found one, and was happy. She and I then went to the shoes section to shop for sandals. She said she wanted ones with heels. I obliged, bought her a pink pair and, eating the words I wrote on a previous blog entry, bought my daughter gold gladiator sandals.

All the while, Kim was having the time of his life tackling Countersrike at Netopia. Hence, the huge grin.

It's been a wonderful day.
Though I still can't believe my daughter is now nine years old.

The Internet was down for close to four days, or so I thought. As it turned out, one of the cables was unplugged. I felt so stupid. I am such a whiz.

On a birthday note, I'd like to greet my very handsome and ultra-smart baby brother, Otom, a happy birthday. He turned seventeen last Friday.

happy birthday

i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
