Happy Birthday to me..
Though this day isn't an exciting one, and though it just brought me unpleasant surprises.. and plenty of tears.. I am thankful that it got me thinking.
These days the challenges have been really heavy, just like the pouring rain today. I'm still shaken by all the predicament that has been bothering my life though, but, nevertherless, I have to go and stand on my own feet. I realise I need to make plenty of sacrifices in my life now. I'm scared, but I need to push myself. This time, harder. No matter what comes in the way, I have to stick to myself, my rights.
I don't wanna lose the people around me that I love, but I believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder and there's no use quarelling with my parents. It's not much use at all. I'll just be wasting my breath and time.
Merriam Webster's Word of the Day for 8th January is:
contretemps > \KAHN-truh-tahng (the "ng" is not actually pronounced, but
the preceding vowel is pronounced nasally)\
noun *1 : an inopportune or embarrassing occurrence or situation2 : dispute, argument
Example sentence: Jacqueline found herself in the middle of an embarrassing contretemps when her client suddenly changed his story and, ignoring her advice, spoke to reporters.
-- Merriam-Webster seems to know my day. Heh. --
So, what's my birthday wish this year?
To be happy in everything I do, be strong and have faith that I can achieve my goals.
I don't wanna let anyone break my heart, and neither do I want to break the heart of others, especially my parent's. I don't wanna hurt those I love anymore. It's hard, I know. But I'll give give my best shot. Just trust me.
My heart's broken enough, and the pieces aren't just difficult to put together, but they are even harder to search for..
A little message for some people out there:
Thanks, mom, dad, and my darling sisters for sticking by me. I'm sorry mom, dad.. for letting u down. This time round, I promise I'll do anything in my will to mend that up, and bring ur joys up again. I love u guys so much.. Thanks again, this time, for the yummy chicken(s). Once more, love ya'll lots.
Baby dearest, I love u. Thanks for the huge birthday card and the mini, fake straw roses. It's one of the most sweetest thing that I've ever received in my entire life. I enjoyed my (literally) delicished finger-lickin' Award Winning Lamb Stew from secret recipe. And eventhough I didn't get to eat my dream cake Chocolate Indulgence, those cakes u got for me were great enough. It was splendid. Forgive my other wrong-doings, honey. I appreciate every nice thing that u've done for me. Thanks, once again.
Now, for my other peeps - friends, cuzzies, aunts, uncles.. Thanks for wishing me a happy birthday. It was really nice for all of u to wish me. =)
Until Later,
Hugs and Kisses.
Ain.
