A cold but blessed Sunday read cash family! The weather here in our place is gloomy and it seems like it's gonna rain very hard any moment from now. My daughter loves the cold wind and I'm sure she will have a good sleep tonight.

If you have noticed on my title, it has three birthdays. That is because today, three people who are close to me are celebrating their natal day. What's with this month? Many people were born during this month. (hihi) Including my mother who will be celebrating her birthday next week. But today, let's focus first these three people who celebrate their birthdays today.

• My Close Friend/ Cousin

This amazing girl here turns 25 today. She is the closest friend/cousin of mine whenever I am in our place. She is my partner in crimes. We both love disco when we were young.haha I remember we were tagged as "Queens of the Dancefloor" in our barangay. We both like almost every thing. When my sister was working at Cebu, she is always my companion wherever I go. She became more likely my sister. Whenever we have celebration in our house, she's always present and so I am in theirs. We were like twins before because who both are skinny and had long hair. Furthermore, when I got pregnant I didn't know that she was pregnant. I was just one month ahead. And now, we both have daughters. I wish our daughters will get along also like us.

Yesterday, she called me to attend her little birthday celebration. However, due to some travel restriction, I wasn't able to go there. The only thing that I did was sent her my greetings and apology. Good thing that she understands the situation.

• My Roommate in College

If you have read my previous article, with a title Our Favorite Spot, I shared there about my roommate whom we inadvertently met in the river. I forgot that today also is her birthday. Before when we were in college, we used to have a surprise to whoever celebrate their birthdays. And we are the tandem for the decorations for the surprise. She also invited me through messenger for they have a little celebration. But I politely declined because the weather is not good. Just like my cousin, I also sent her my greetings and wishes.

• My Partner's Father

My partner's father also celebrates his birthday today. Last night, my partner's oldest sister told us that we will have our lunch at their father's house. So, at 11 in the morning, we head to his house. Everything was already prepared when we got there. They only prepared few foods since it was only us. They had 2 kilos of lechon ( roasted pig ), 2 lechon manok ( roasted chicken ), pancit, a dish that I don't know the name (hihi ), soft drinks and 1 gallon of ice cream. We had a good time while having our lunch. As usual, my partner's father was amused by his granddaughter. He was laughing while looking his granddaughter eating while holding the lechon bone. A couple of minutes after our lunch, we bid our goodbye for the reason that our daughter will have her nap. She was sleepy already and she won't sleep when we are in other house. We promised to be back at 4 but we did not able to do so since the sky was dropping it's tiny tears.

CLOSING THOUGHT

Celebrating occasions nowadays is hard because of the fact that we are now facing a very long pandemic. Celebrations are now limited brought by this unseen adversary. I miss being with my friends and most especially my family. But following the protocols will keep us safe. It is for our own good. So let us have much perseverance because I know this pandemic will end. Nothing lasts forever and so will this outbreak.

That's it for today guys. Thank you for supporting me ceaselessly. More power to all of you. Be happy always and keep safe all the time.
