Count the blessings!

Instead of counting candles,

or tallying the years,

contemplate your blessings now,

as your birthday nears.

Consider special people who love you and who care,

and others who have enriched your life,

just by being there.

Another year is a happy gift,

so cut your cake and say,

"Instead of counting birthdays,

I count blessings everyday."

Dear Chloe,

*old picture*

Finally, I'm 20. In case you dont know what number is that, it's twenty, yes huge-big-and fat TWEN-TYYY!!! Hurrayy to myself hahaha.

So, here I am, a brand new grown-up woman who has just savored the very last day of being a juvenile. Start from today onwards, I am a young grown-up, and I am proud of it!! :DD

I've been waiting for this day for like ten years actually,yes, started from when i knew that a new grown-up is counted from 20th years old. :)) I just couldn't wait to grow up, and now here I am, I couldn't depict all the joy feeling into words.

When many people think that letting go of the teenage years is kind of woebegone thing to do, when many people fear of being an adult, I just sit tight, smiling and say ,"Thank you, God, for today. I feel so blessed."

It's just so fun to grow up, you need not to be afraid. Instead of being an adolescent who mostly spends the time playing around, without thinking forward about the future, I prefer to be a grown-up with a better mindset and plan to create a better life. I'm still learning, and I will always do. As a wise old saying ever quoted," Age doesn't always come with wisdom, sometimes age comes alone", it makes me think about how great my life would be like, if I embed the wisdom start from (every) now on, that's why I always want to grow up, slowly but surely, with a better me every year. :)) Life is just too dull and tedious to be young forever, isnt it?? Even though am getting older with my face starting to wrinkle, I wanna savor every bit of it, that's my way to live life to the fullest. :))

To those who have been supporting me all the way till now, to my family and besties who always stay by my side through good and bad times, thank you so much for all the care you have given. Having you all is the biggest blessing God ever given to me, thank you. I cherish all of you with all my heart. :))

To those who were stucked in the middle of the way and couldn't make it to the future, I love you all, for you all have shaped me to be who I am today, by the dramas , backstabs and everything. You have really opened my eyes and make me a better person, thank you. :))

And to those coming new friends and hopefully no foe, welcome to my life. :))

To all of those best friends,friends and cyber friends that sent me the greetings, thank you. I cant mention all your names here one by one, but you have made my day. No matter where you sent it, from facebook, MSN or texting, thank youu!! You guys are just so sweet, and you have made my day even more meaningful. Thanks to be part of it, I'm glad that I could share my joy and happiness with you, even it's only through this tiny little space. You mean so much to me. I mean it. :))))) <333333

Thanks to 'student' for the cake ,it's yummy! :))

and lastly,

Special BIG-FAT-HUGE THANK YOU to my dream-comes-true-midnight-birthday-wake-up-call from a very special one, MY MASCOT. You granted my one and only wish on my birthday which I never even mentioned before! Thankyousosososososososo(2hours later)sososossososo muchhhhh!!! :DDD It's simple yet the best gift ever!!!!

So, am at the end of the post, let me sum up everything :
