22nd bday.. older and wiser (?)

Had a party with kids from Virlanie's Marco Polo Care Center. They were so cute and very affectionate. They made me realize how lucky I am. It seems like all my problems are silly compared to what they've been through. There's JJ who got burned when he was 8 months old. He's so smart and he has a very healthy disposition. He doesn't complain when the metal thingies on his legs are adjusted. Orly who's seven, acts like he's so much younger. He was an abused child. He loves blowing bubbles. There's Analyn who's always smiling. She's a special child and gives hugs to everyone. I don't remember her name but she was just "rescued" last weekend from her uncle who burns her with an iron even while she's asleep. She said she was also dipped upside down in water when she was younger. I'm so glad I spent the day with them :)

I'm not as bratty about my bday as I used to be... hehehe having a bday bash with tons and tons of friends is not as important as before. This year's bday bash is more meaningful because I was able to share my blessings. God has been very good to me. I have a good job, a wonderful boyfriend, a loving family and great friends :)
