True Joy of Life
George Bernard Shaw
This is the true joy of life.
The being used for a purpose
Recognized by yourself as a mighty one.
And as long as I live,
It is my privilege to do for it
Whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die,
For the harder I work the more I live.

OH THANK YOU MR. UNIVERSE!!!
Why look at that, the day finally came huh? when I flipped another calendar of my existence.
I wanted to write myself a version of that quote/poem above but when I read it, I didn't have to look up any other words --- it already spoke of what I really heartily wished for, not just because I turned BIG 3-Oh today (yeah no hiding that number anymore), but for every single day I can still breathe. =)
Now now, apart from that lil drama, here's my other wish(es) that came true!
There I was lying on our bed, (while I was waiting for the clock to strike 12) I started opening my Project Airmail Love.....and lookieeee! yey yey yey 30x!!!!! =)
Forever grateful to these dear loving senders who took their time to write to me. Gosh! I can't wait to send my postcard-reply! Wahooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! By the way, the husband sent me some,too...at least 5 of them hahaha! And if anyone out there feels guilty for not sending theirs, I still accept belated greetings anytime at all! hihihi
And then I thought I heard some lil thumping of feet...when the bedroom door opened, was I surprised? Not really much with the big smiling faces of my housemates hahaha but freaked out with this!!! =)
Me, wearing the husband's shirt hihi and lookin' all silly!
You see, few months ago, I saw this 'World's Largest Hershey Bar' at Universal Studios and that time I screameeeeeeeddddd and plead to the husband to buy me one for my bartday. Aheheheh I didn't really think he'd go for it, because he told me last week we'll just get it the next month since we're tightening our budget now for the upcoming wedding,too you know. =)
Thank you dear housemates for the surprise too! Sorry I didn't want you to take a bite of my Hersheys yet. I'm still pondering if I even want to peel the wrapper off! If you were me, would you. huh? Weeehehe =)
And to those who greeted me on my Facebook wall & texted/called --- so sorry, too I don't think the giant bar is enough for all of us hahahahah so I'm blowing hearts instead to each of you!
