It is eactly 12 midnight and I am officially 45 years old. Looking back 365 days. I celebrated my birthday last year at home with very few special people in my life. Having no financial resources to do anything big, I was lucky to have a few people in my life that cared enough to prepare something so I can celebrate. It was the last birthday I celebrated with Addette. After that, everything just went downhill and now here I am. This is the first time in my life that I did not celebrate my birthday. It is just another day, in fact it is a working day. At 7pm, I will be on duty, answering guests from the Western world and taking care of their concerns. I sit here writing my very first blog for my site and I honestly do not know what to say. I am overwhelmed with the greetings I received on my facebook site and yet I can't help but realize I have not seen greetings from the people I knew from a year ago. When you are in a relationship, your friends change to the friends of your partner and when that relationship ends, the friendship ends and you are left alone, seated in a room writing a blog about your birthday.It is not the best of week. I ended last week depressed and disheartened. I started my week resigned. I have spent the whole day yesterday planning what to once again do with my life. Not all beginnings starts smooth, sometimes you get a rough start. One thing I have learned is "if it is not meant; d pwede ipilit".Oh well, this is the first day of the rest of my life. A new beginning, a new day!To all who sent me a greeting via SMS and facebook; with all my heart "THANK YOU". Pictures of Previous Birthdays:

Hello! You don't know me but i'm one of your FB friends. Going through your website and reading everything about you tells me that you're a very smart,intelligent and strong woman. You are the epitome of a modern filipina . A woman who is bold,strong ,liberated but has strong and intact moral values. In our lives, we meet a lot of people, some of them you'd think are keepers but, eventually ,only the real ones linger and stay. Please don't spend your time and energy with these pretentious people. With your good traits, you deserve to be with sincere people. Sad to say, with this age and day, it's difficult to find those real people. Just trust in the Lord and He'll take care of everything for you. By the way, me and my husband used to watch your movies! Please keep your head high and keep on doing what you do best. Good luck in all your endeavors!
