Thanks Kelly!  I haven’t done a tag for a while (and this is a long overdue tag)

1. each blogger must post these rules.
2. each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves.
3. bloggers that are tagged need to write ten facts about themselves. you need to choose ten people to tag and list their names.

So here are 10 things about me that some of you may or may not know yet –

And for the record, I was coming up blank while answering this.

1. No one really knows my real weight. No one. As in NO ONE. Except God and me
2. I have an addictive personality. Food. Scrapbooking. Photography. And now make-up.
3. I hate-love my hair. Sometimes I want it ala Jennifer Aniston, sometimes I want it curly. That is why I still haven’t gotten that perm wave I’ve wanted to have since 2007. I grew my hair long because of that only to cut it Feb 2008.
4. I am an eyebrow plucking/threading virgin until last week. I have very nice kilay na. Look:
 
Nice din my make-up no? Those are green eyeshadows, LOL.

5. I’m a closet kikay. Weight prevents me from being kikay because of limited options. Maybe the reason why I havent been serious in losing weight is because I’m afraid I’ll let loose the kikay in me and become unstoppable. Bwahahaha (ang galing magrason no)
6. I claim to be an independent woman but I depend on the husband to drive us around, and go out on chores when it’s dark. Nowadays, I don’t commute either. And take note, di naman kami mayaman
7. One thing to get me in a really foul mood almost immediately is heat & humidity. Im someone whom you will always hear complaining if it’s hot. Not that I’m maarte. But with my weight, it is such a PAIN. PAIN I tell you.
8. And with my weight, I am open to mesolipo . Not touching any part of my face nor boobs though. Taga nyo yan sa bato
9. I eat when I’m stressed. When I’m happy, I don’t really eat much. Can you tell I’ve been stressed for five years na? I handle stress OK, but it shows on how I eat. It took me two years to finally figure out why I’m like this.
10. I’m really a good friend. Really. I’m not senti, possessive, jealous and I don’t judge. That’s why I only have very FEW good friends, as in you can count with ONE hand. They know 90% of everything. I think wholesale liquidators want me as customers *wink wink*

Cake. Coffee. Video.

It was a perfect day.

The woman who bore me was the very first person to greet me – my Mommy She  cooked spaghetti for me, and I think even if I turn 50 I’d still be wanting it for my birthday, hehehe.

The husband bought me cake without me asking for one. That is a big deal for me. Kasi he never lets me indulge on anything.

I actually dont know who was happier, me or Martha (Incidentally, 28 is the age of my kids – Martha is two, Matthew is eight!).

He even let me go to Starbucks with the kids. And while I didn’t enjoy any of the coffee I ordered (my kids took everything), I was happy because my kids finally enjoy being at Starbucks .

I had free coffee from the Voice of Customer receipts and ordered venti frapps for us – Caramel and Strawberries & Cream. I just paid for the chocolate donuts.

I could not even get a bite out of the donut because it was devoured in minutes.

(I’m going to blog about this in a different post).

Most of all, the best gift was having this to wake up to in the morning (well, I was actually awake hours BEFORE I saw it, but Edil woke up at 9AM so dun ko lang nalaman).

So I turned 28 last Monday. I think this has been the first time since I started blogging that I didn’t sort of blog about it on the day itself. Every year I write on what I have reflected and learned from the past year before I turn a year older. Each year I write about gratefulness, feeling so blessed, feeling so accomplished and wanting nothing more than what I have right now, here with me – love, God and family.

Hence the title of this blog, All I have is all I need.

I always have looked forward to getting older as far as I can remember. I have always felt that being older means being more accomplished, a step closer to whatever mission I’m supposed to be in.

But not this birthday. I think this year I’m going to be 28 forever. Not that 28 is a great age to be in, you know. But being closer to 30 makes me realize how little I know, how weak I am and how many things I need to learn.

Age has crept up with me, making my physical body experience signs of “aging.” I literally have learned to listen to what my body is saying and slow down. I want to be there for my kids until they have grandkids, not because I’m concerned about my mortality, but I just want to be really there for my kids. I want to play with my grandkids and be there for my kids. I don’t want them to take care of me when the time comes.

It has made me realize how I’m pretty much the same when I was 16 – impulsive, temperamental, passionate. While most of these qualities, negative sounding as they seem, have been curbed and tempered to a certain direction, I realized that I tend to break every now and then.

It has made me realize how much I haven’t really nourished a very big part of me since I was 15. I have dreams sometimes, dreams wherein God talks to me. Lately, I always hear hurt in His Voice. And how much He longs for me. I know what to do, but I’m just too weak to start doing it. That’s the part where I have been soul searching the most.

Age has made me realize that I still have so much to learn. And while I am proud of the things I have done, I know I haven’t really done anything that would make me really really, happy.

When I was 15, I was promised that I would find my happiness someday.
And until now, while I choose to be happy everyday, I am seeking the happiness that has been promised to me.

I think that at 28, while most my age are going for stability, starting a family, and everything else, I’m going for something I have stopped doing when I was 18. I’m going to be aiming for direction, for purpose, for mission. I might run out of time if not now.

So 28. It ain’t nothing but a number until I prove otherwise.

I’m sorry for not updating as often as I should. The past two weeks were hell for me. Teeth pain is worse than giving birth I swear. I have been on painkillers for most part of the two weeks and I’ve come to certain realizations:

1. Ponstan is better than Dolfenal. Promise.
2. Teeth pain can turn you into a monster.

I have been very very irritable, more than when I was pregnant! The kids know better than to order me around with pleas for “Mommy, will you cook pancit canton?” at 8PM because the pain worsens at night. By 6PM I’m already in bed, drugged with pain relievers.

I went to the dentist yesterday and it was both good news and bad news. Good news: My wisdom teeth have finally erupted to taking them out would cost me the normal extraction for molars. Yey! Bad news: The dentist suspects the real pain is coming from my upper molar which has a filling. It has chipped off somewhat and when she percusses it, it is painful. The solution would be a root canal – which is of course, more expensive than extracting wisdom teeth, impacted or not. However, I’d be more willing to come back every other day (She said with root canals, they need to drain the abscess so every other day is the appointment) than to have this one taken out – I’d still like a good set of teeth until I turn 40 (if I can swing it until I am 50, that would be awesome!) thank you very much.

So next week will be all about dental appointments. I’m on antibiotics now – so Tuesday or Wednesday I go for a temporary filling, Friday or Saturday with the meds kicking in, I can actually get these wisdom teeth from hell removed.

So my first wishlist was really WISHING, but this part I think I can swing And no, I’m not going to be asking for Oakley watches

2. Cake. Since I’m 28 – I’d want 28 slices of different cakes or 28 different pastries (Hahaha!)

3. Starbucks GCs. So that I can tell Edil to drop by Starbucks after going to mass every Sunday and when he tells me off saying we have no money I can brush him off, “Hello?! Libre! Bilis! Vamanos! (gagayahin ko si Marts!)

4. I want multi-colored pens and notebooks. And yes, di ako nagsesecond childhood.
