I am twenty-five and ready to embrace a new life!

How did I spend my birthday? I spent it awesomely!

It starts, exactly like last year, minus the not-knowing-that-he's-coming-at 0'clock, Y was the first one who greeted exactly at 0'clock with a present. Actually, we spent Saturday together (like our usual Saturdate) at home. He then went off at 11 p.m and left me knowing he'd be back in at 0'clock. And yes, he did. He came to my house again with this huge (and heavy) plastic bag.

Oh, hi!

Yeeeeeaaay!!

:D

Oh my God! Lots of :* !!!!

He got me a copy of Nigella Kitchen! To make it very special and very personal, he made the jacket himself!! Woooohooooo!!! He totally got it when we visited a bookstore and found this one available and I was just starring (and drooling at the same time. I LOVE YOU!! :*

Domestic Goddess' Bible

In the evening, (almost too late to call it evening :P), the whole family gathered (including Y and the newest member of the family - baby Darryl), had dinner and our usual humble candle-blowing ceremony. Something else also made me head over heels but I'm not going spill everything out now :D

Blow? Now?

LOVE!

The IT Baby!!

On Monday, my friend Etta greeted me and gave the present ecstatically. Frankly saying, I knew she got me this present like 3 weeks ago, but she kept it until the right time. She got me this Lego watch, which, I remembered telling her in our earliest conversation that I would love to have one *BIG GRIN*

Some cool tokens!

The blissfulness of my birthday didn't stop there. On Tuesday, I arranged an afternoon pizza party for my dearest work-mates. Since we are know working at two different buildings, I was so happy having them around and sharing laughter like we used to.

O happy family!

To sum up, I WAS SO HAPPY! (I even still feel the great happiness up until when I write this!) I'm so blessed with everything and everyone. Being 25 made me realize that now my life is really in my hand. So, whatever may come, and whatever may change, I'm ready, 'cause I'm 25 and old enough to say that I will live my own life gracefully :)
