Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

A Yearbook For My Birthday (poem)

I was very much in love in the first quarter
But confusion was bold in the second
It was quite a soul searching in the third
And clarity was figured in the frenzy fourth.

It was sure a crazy and an amazing ride for this year
A ride worth taking a huge and sharp turning point
It was something with red, orange and green
A highway that has challenged the best tiger in me

Another yearbook is added in my mausoleum
And on this day a new one is on the making
‘’Hooray!’’It’s like being born again
A Happy Happy Birthday to me!

December 28, 2012. Friday. It’s the last working day of the year, in my working calendar. Birthday greetings from the moment I woke up til the rest of the day. A birthday cake was given to me as a gift at work which was shared by everyone. No celebrations yet at work as I insisted it to be right after new year’s and there was a mini new year party celebration thrown by the company president anyway.
 
Being caught right in between Christmas day and New Year’s Day, I learned to celebrate my birthday by relaxation, different from most days of the month. It’s one of my me-times, a special one, which I gladly had after work today. On the New Years Eve, as usual, I’ll have my cake - my pick, with a lighted candle to wish upon and blow, as I welcome another hopeful year. Cheers! ^__^.
