Yes, today is my birthday. I am 47 today. Getting older, but hopefully getting better too. My life has improved a lot in those years, particularly the past 7 or 8 years, I guess.
I can feel that I am getting older, though. They say that my age is still young, and I suppose it is, but I don’t feel like I did when I was in my 20′s or even in my 30′s, I feel older, a bit slower and such. But, still good though.
Feyma took me out for lunch today. She told me to choose the place, and I did. She was surprised at the place I chose, because it is a simple place, but that is where I felt like going. Sad thing is that she was right, the food was not so good. It was OK, but just OK. I could have chosen somewhere that was really good, but those places we go to normally, and I felt like something different today.
My young niece, Nicole is here celebrating my birthday with me. Nicole is just 5 years old, and over the past few months she has been coming and staying with us regularly. I am a bit scared, becuase I am really falling head over heals in love with the girl. She has a special place in my heart. I am scared that one of these times when she comes to visit, I won’t be able to say goodbye to her. I am nearly at that point now.
Anyway, I want to thank my family and friends for making this birthday a special one for me. I remember the days when it was all about what kind of present you would get. These days, honestly, that kind of thing matters little to me. If I want “stuff” I can go buy whatever I would like to have. But, friendships and family relations are the most important, and those are priceless. Thank you everybody!
Happy 47th Birthday to you Sir Bob! Wishing you more blessings and overflowing love from your family and friends…
Hi Cidy – I miss you, and I hope that whenever you are in Davao you will come by and see Feyma and I. We really would enjoy seeing you!
You’re right Bob, there times in our lives that material things doesn’t exist anymore… when I was young, my husband always buys presents when my birthday comes. Now days, I don’t really care for it, as long as we have dinner together, my families are all intact that’s all it matters to me.
I know I haven’t met you & Feyma in person, but I can feel that you guys are really good and genuine people.
May God shower more blessings to you and family.
Hi Ann – Thank you for your comment. I am looking forward to meeting you and your husband next time you are in Davao. Yes, like you and your husband, Feyma and I had lunch out yesterday, and then we had some friends over for dinner last night. Wonderful day, and I enjoyed it very much.
