Another day to celebrate, everyday is a blessing but this one is quite different than the usual. Well, I'm really not into celebrating my birthday, there are times that I forget it but because of special people who keep on telling me my birthday is so close I was reminded of the day.
I want to host a contest to thank all of you for supporting me and to encourage everyone to write and express your thoughts. This is my first time hosting a contest so please understand if I'll make an unclear remarks haha you can ask question on the comment section.
What's your favorite thing about Earth?
Have you watch the movie "The Space Between Us"? It's a movie about a boy who was born in Mars because his mom is an astronaut. He live all his life there and when he came back to earth he then searched for his dad. This is a romance movie and I'm not here to give a review so watch the movie if you want to know what happened haha. Why am I telling you this? In the movie, he asked his lover "what's your favorite thing about earth?" And that question keeps lingering on my mind. So, I'm basing my contest to this question.
