Last Saturday, I celebrated my 25th Birthday and I enjoyed a lot. I've been blessed of 25 years of living and wishing to add more years in the future.

My birthday is over, but the happiness I felt remained.

Before, I never celebrated my birthday nor blown my own birthday cake. I was happy if someone will remember my birthday, I'm glad if I've received some birthday greetings, and if none, it was fine for me.

As years passed, birthdays are just ordinary days for me. But this year, I'm blessed to have a loving family of my own.

They cooked for me, although it was simple dishes, my heart was filled with love and gratitude.

These were the dishes they've cooked for my birthday.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

Lumpia

Canton Guisado

I was very much grateful for the love they offered to me. I felt very special that day, but what made my birthday even more special was the present my cousin gave me.

My Birthday Cake

This cake was a surprise for me, made by my cousin. My heart was filled with joy and gladness. I never expected this kind of surprise.

She made this cute cake out of wafer sticks, cupcake, and designed it with choco knots, with candle at the center.

Humbly speaking, this is my supposed to be, first ever birthday cake I've received.

I don't know nor remember if my parents have bought me a birthday cake when I was a kid before.

Thank you so much to all my RC friends who greeted me and sent me their sweet messages last September 19. I really appreciate all of you, and you made my birthday even more special. 😊
