I can't believe that we've been together since 2004 (longer than any of my past romantic relationships). Thanks for sticking and witnessing the last five years of my life - which ironically were also the most important ones.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eYou're such a great buddy. You've always been there for me even if I neglected you in the past. I know that you still haven't forgiven me for almost ditching you when I was stressed and \u003ca href\u003d\"http://abbieunreal.blogspot.com/search/label/Goodyear\"\u003eoverworked at Goodyear\u003c/a\u003e three years back. But I also know that I more than made up for that when \u003ca href\u003d\"http://abbieunreal.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-won.html\"\u003eI won you\u003c/a\u003e the Pond's Age Miracle Blog Writing Contest last year. People were so happy about you that I've been asked twice to join other blog writing contests by a couple of PR firms since winning in July. I unfortunately have to turn it down because I don't have the energy and time to devote on it. I was also asked just recently to test some blogging platform but you and I both know that I cannot do it because of obvious conflicts. :)\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003ePeople are always asking me why I keep you. My reasons varied in the last five years - from keeping an on-line memory repository to keeping my sanity intact by having a \"venting machine\". But I know now why you are here. I just learned recently your purpose. Writing and publishing something about me is for my future generations. I know for sure that no one will be interested to write my story ala \"Diary of Anne Frank\" so I figured that I should just do it myself through you. It would be great for my future kids to read how I lived and loved. It will hopefully teach them what to avoid in the future (eg. men with commitment issues, mean colleagues and bosses who doesn't give a sh!t about you, etc.). If in case I will not be married or have kids, I am sure that my niece Gabbie will have a riot reading you and learning about my friends, our adventures, my crazy antics, food loving, and fun travels.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eYou are definitely one of my most precious possessions. I often read your archive especially when something is bugging me. I often search it for insights whenever I need to decide on something or if I am confused. My memories are kept alive because of you and for that I am grateful. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eI vow to keep you as long as I can. Thanks for all that has been and for all that will be!

After all, like what I told a friend last night, I feel that I've already received the gifts I wanted  for this year. Well, most of it anyway. I have low expectations for today but I must say that I got a couple of surprises that caught me off guard a little bit. God is really listening to me today since I got an answer (almost immediately) to my wish and theme this year of \"moving on and leaving the baggage and hurts of the past\" as soon as I wrote it here in my blog. \u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ca href\u003d\"http://photobucket.com\" target\u003d\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src\u003d\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/abbie12/Bday1.jpg\" border\u003d\"0\" alt\u003d\"Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cfont size\u003d\"1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eI swear...the numbers are mocking ME!\u003c/center\u003e\u003c/font\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eHere's my yearly tradition of top Birthday Messages received:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cem\u003eHappy Birthday!\u003c/em\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e~ \u003cstrong\u003eMark\u003c/strong\u003e \u003cbr /\u003e(Like last year and the year before that, he was the first person who greeted me.

Since birthdays are synonymous to being sentimental, I also sent three well-meaning messages of thanks to Ros, Twiggy and Guds. They are three friends of mine (from different circles) who were truly God's gift to me especially this year. I just recently reconnected and \"discovered\" them and they truly helped me a lot in some difficulties this year.

I went straight to Alabang from the airport. We had a fun night dining at Lasa! (it's a Filipino place where they serve eat-all-you-can) in Festival Mall. Binch and I used to frequent it a lot last year when we were doing our Goodyear Marketing Plan slides and presentations.
