Yesterday was my birthday and I’m officially in my late 20’s! haha! Anyway, I thank God for another year of adventure, and to my family, my Shaynna, my friends, blogging friends, and every person who are part of my adventure.

Thank you to those who remembered and greeted. Thank you also to those who are still going to do so. ^^

This day made me recall how great my birthdays were 2 decades ago. It’s really amazing how little things could make a child happy. I wish I could be like a child again.

Here are the reasons why I loved celebrating my birthdays as a child:

1.) Wake up at the birthday songs being played.
2.) My favorite birthday song was (and still is) a Tagalog one, and sung by children.
3.) Hearing my mother bustling in the kitchen preparing the “birthday breakfast”. I usually don’t eat breakfast because I often woke up late. But on my birthdays, I woke up early.
3.) Being absent from class. I didn’t usually go to school on my special day.
4.) Take a bath without much nagging from my mother. I hated taking an early bath because the water was cold and we didn’t (and still don’t) have a water heater.
5.) Wearing my favorite dress, the newest if there’s one.
6.) The chance to wear my shoes! I went into a public school from 1st-6th grade where wearing shoes was not mandatory. So I went to school wearing just sandals.
7.) Going to the city! We’re only about 45 minutes away from Iligan City but my parents rarely took us with them. So, it’s a big treat!
8.) Going to church, light candles, and say my birthday prayer (and wishes!).
9.) Being treated to foods that I fancied (ice cream, chocolates, cotton candy, pop corn, etc).
10.) Dropping by a bakeshop to buy a small birthday cake.
11.) The simple birthday dinner with everyone in the family present.
12.) Blowing candles.
13.) Taking pictures! I’ve always loved picture taking and so does my family.
