I don't usually talk about my birthday, but when I do something awesome just happened!
I don't usually get gifts during birthdays, but when I do it makes me want to jump!
And that is why this blog post has weirdly existed!
I usually think of birthdays, well my birthday for that matter, as a normal day. To add, this day was quite busy, especially now that I am taking up my engineering review. Of course, I never forget to thank the Lord for the previous year that I en
JOYed.
When your birthday comes, it is normal for friends to tease you for threats and yeap! My friends never failed to address that. Sad to say though, pockets where quite empty, but greetings where a lot. Wooh! Another thing to thank the Lord about! :)
Well, that is not why I am writing to you now about my birthday for there is something that happened to me that touched, as friends label me, my "melancholic-choleric personality." Though I do not know what it fully means, but anyway!
I am quite fond with kids, and when a kid gives me something as simple as a paper filled with crayon drawings, well it touched me a lot. Yanka, a kid that I am close to in TCA give me something that I will surely treasure. It is a greeting card (greeting drawing for that matter) during my birthday. It may not look like a Da Vinci like masterpiece, but it is quite a masterpiece for me.
One thing that I find cute about this thing is that she inverted the J. She even missed practices for her presentation just to make this one!

Yeah, it is a simple gift, but a child having a pure and honest heart - that itself is very rewarding! Thanks Yanka! Kuya will treasure this one for sure!
The Lord loves children and we should love them with the love of Jesus. He gave us good examples, and we should follow those examples as well. Young as they may seem, but these children are quiet capable than you could ever imagine. Even more capable than you and me, and that is one of the many reasons why I am fond of them! ;))
Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Well, that's a little speck of my life, and I hope you didn't mind having a read at it. ;)
Till, next times Dudes and Dudettes!
God bless :D
