A Year Older

Just a few weeks ago, I had again my most favorite day of the year. Of course, I have to love it (though I really do) because it reminds me that I'm still alive despite my stressful lifestyle every February. It also reminds me of growing up, figuratively. As expected, a nineteen-year-old person shouldn't act like an eighteen. So, just a thought, there must be a little difference.

Maturity comes out naturally. But it isn't an excuse of not thinking how you act with different people, adjusting how attached you are with them, or how you value them. There was really more to think about and I spent my birthday thinking about those things.

I started that day with my groupmates, u22 (Dah, RJ, Ruel, Kael, and Lady plus Jonathan). We were shooting our movie trailer for Film Writing and Production and we haven't gone home for a couple of days that time. We had a little celebration since Dah, who was also celebrating her birthday, surprised me. They set the camera and turned the lights off. Then a cake with two tagpi-piso candles on it came out of the dark accompanied by the ever-famous/immortal Happy Birthday song. I was really surprised and I appreciated the effort of having a simple celebration that time.

We continued shooting for the trailer and we slept before sunrise. We woke up early to make it to our 9:00 am class which is Principles of Children's ETV Programming. And the rest was just an ordinary routine of my ordinary day, except for greetings from a lot of friends and acquaintances. But before the day ended, I went home to see my family.

After all those things, it was a very special day for me. I appreciated every little part of that day and every single person who completed my 19th birthday with me. Thanks guys!
