Burpday Or Shall I Call It Birthdays

            Every now and then we always had special occasions celebrated among family and friends. A few years back, I often find my birthdays quite ordinary because I usually spent it at home with my mom and relatives. But this time around I happen to celebrate it with another family I had found in the new school where I am working.

            I could say, it was a festive occasion as I spent two days celebrating it this week. My birthday falls on every 26th day of the month of February. Although we had spend the 25th as the Pre-Birthday Celebration as we don't have work because it was a special holiday in the Philippines.  A very  fortunate time for some friends to take a plunge in the sea. We visited the floating cottages of Panabo City in Davao del Norte. A boat took us there. It was just a few minutes ride and there we are. Lo! It was full of fun, sharing laughter and jokes from fellow teachers and friends. It was my first time to come to the place and I was impressed with the clear and clean waters. The people in the area had really preserved the seas. The sea breeze was in harmony with us. The weather was fine and everybody had enjoyed the scenery and atmosphere. I can highly recommend the place. Its cheaper than any places I've been with.
     
            Before three in the afternoon we already left the place and went to our co-teachers house where we had cooked our food beforehand. I had the pleasure to nap for about 30 minutes after I had taken the bath in removing the saltiness from my body. I felt so relaxed and refreshed. While some friends took their baths and watch TV and doing pedicure.

            In this birthday, how I wish its always like Burpday not because we eat a lot of food but the reason is I spent it with harmony. Avoiding stress and as laughter is the best medicine that cures loneliness in the life of a woman who has always been single for many years now. I hope that things will just be like this, nothing too strenuous in life and just go along with whatever God is giving. I could say I love my life now. Being too independent and maybe a little mature in life, makes me so lucky to finally find what i am looking for in life. I thank God for He has given me so much I could ask for. This birthday has given me the opportunity to share what I have.

            Thank God for another year although I stop counting the age what matters most is that I still feel young at my age.
