Happy Birthday to You!

20 March 2011

It's fun to be one! Enjoy your childhood, play and laugh.
Try to learn how to climb trees, run, and don't be afraid to get sweaty and dirty.
It's okay to get messy. It's okay to get hurt.
Run. Be Merry!

"When you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them"
Love yourself, do not fret. Your eyeglasses are not making you ugly, it's your head!
And yes, you're smart but maybe lazy well what can you do? LOL!
Never mind that broken heart and wounded ego.
Other girls will haunt you like you're some freak, but never mind them they're also going through the same awkwardness and craziness like you.
Be proud that you are a late bloomer.
Don't rush too much. Somebody will truly love you, and that you should believe ;-)


And you will enjoy this night you turn 18!
Be grateful of your friends, your family, and this guy dancing with you.
He is a jealous man. He will be yours, forever.
If I may say, please don't break his heart.


Don't beat yourself up just because you didn't reach your goal grades.
Enjoy college life a little. It wouldn't hurt you.
You think you know a lot about life because you just think so.
Think again, you don't honey!
Be happy you made it through sleepless nights... but don't be too proud.


Heartaches await.
Family woes and miseries will haunt you, but it will make you stronger.
Do not give up on hope, faith, and love.
Shopping is an addiction. Be wary. Be cautious. Make up does not make you beautiful!
You will build a lifetime of memories and friendships.
A man will surprise you. He will make you feel very special!

This guy will father your children!
Finally, you will spend a life with him after a decade of being far from each other.
Distance did make your relationship stronger. Do not give up on that.
The future you prayed so hard for is here... and yet, there are so many things to look forward to.
Carry him in your heart... cherish each moment!
Love and friendship are what you need.

{Inspired by C's letter to her younger self, I thought of going through old pictures and figured what I will say to me. I thought it will be a good exercise since it will be my birthday next month}
