A little birthday gift

This was one of the most hectic birthdays I ever had, having to deal with the unusual extension of the already head-twisting academic life in the university. This was made worse by this heavy emotion wrapping me and telling me not to do something pretty stupid. I felt so irritable that I could go insane at any moment trying to find some meaning in my life, because I felt that I never had real quality time devoted to my own well-being.

As everything seemed to fail me on this supposed to be special day, I was vindicated by a little chit-chat with my former colleague during my elementary years - and we shared each other's wisdom in life (as well as a little ranting of our academic hardships, which I would rather keep at the personal level) in the process. This enlightening experience was further strengthened when this colleague of mine shared some time visiting my little abode and talking with my grandmother, who has been so devout a guardian to me since my toddler years. This simple happening gave me a good glimpse of hope.

At least that little event lightened my day and made my special day, well, more special.

A good greeting of "Happy Birthday" to myself. ^_^
