Happy (?) Birthday!!!

It's my birthday today... a day after the fire in our house.


Received several SMS greetings. Friends who know what happened don't know what to say. How can you wish for your special day to be happy when your house caught fire? The work of cleaning the house (what with the damp and dirt), identifying things that are beyond repair, fixing the damage, and ensuring that the cause of the fire will not again happen. Wait... what is the cause of the fire?

Anyway, took pictures of the damage, in order to give to the insurance company. Then, went to Glorietta to have it printed. Visited the Greenbelt Chapel to thank Him for the blessing He has bestowed me and my family for the past years, and seeking His guidance for the challenges ahead. Then proceeded home, waiting for the driver to arrive so that I can buy dinner at Emerald Garden Restaurant, which we can share with our friends who would drop by.

My birthday this year is truly different from the past years. But yesterday's events makes me grateful for having families, relatives and friends who willingly lent a helping hand in their own special way...
