Five days to go! Yes dears, it’s gonna be my birthday on the 11th of September.
It’s been consistent through the years: I get a little bit more emotional on the days leading to my birthday. I get more melancholic, reflective. (Di ba normal naman yun?)
Another year has passed. So what?
This year, I would say -
“Measure your life in love.” Yes, that’s a good motto. Measure your life — not in pesos, not in honorific titles, not in clicks or pageviews — but in love.
So bring it on. Thanks for all the love, my loyal friends. That includes you all MGG readers. Each and every comment you leave here (currently at 12,440 and counting) are like flower petals in a giant garland of love for MGG. This song is for you:
