This Year

(Birthday Blog)

Let me share something real quick...

At the last quarter of 2010, I  began having meetings with my internal being.
I started to feel again. My mind and body was suddenly on a quest to find meaning and purpose.

I felt my soul for the very first time in my life.
I am ALIVE and filled with so much excitement and wonder.

Now, it's officially been a week and three days since I turned 25.

"I am ALIVE. I am here NOW."

I have had a lot of birthday celebrations in my time and I'm left with a vague recollection of it all. I remember them to be always filled with love and laughter from the people I care about. My parental units and brother came out to feast with me this year all the way from the Philippines. To me, friends and family are the key ingredients to a great birthday. This year is the one I consider the best yet so far (and just in case my folks are reading - mom and dad: my debut 7 years ago comes in second to this!)...because this year is my spiritual birthday. I don't mean it in a religious way. To simplify it, it just means that I have finally acknowledged the fact that I am here NOW. And at this point, it's all that really matters to me.

I decided that this year will be a good time for me to reevaluate and reflect on how I can do better.  I want to do better so that I can do my best, and so I can be at my best. I want to do better with myself, with others, and especially in this place we live in. I honestly believe that if every person in this planet act and speak the truth from their heart, then we will be able to recreate this world with understanding, respect, love, honesty, and compassion to ourselves and with one another. Let there be a rebirth to a loving society. 

Let there be YOU in this society.

Happy Sunday!
