Grateful for Another Year: My simple yet memorable birthday

 ---- A pleasant day to everyone. May your coffee be strong and your day be beautiful! Good day, Hives! It's me again, Ace26, your Gwapo (handsome) blogger from the Philippines. ----  ---- It's my birthday. And in celebration of that, I like to write this personal note on my previous year as a 32-year-old. ----  ---- When I told someone that I was turning 32 today they said, “Whouia, that’s older than I thought you were!😆😆😆” I took it as a compliment. ----  ---- I am grateful that I have reached the age that not everyone gets. It is a gift from above, an honor, a blessing, and a privilege in the life that I have now. ----  ---- Every time my birthday comes, I enjoy the most of it and a few moments to reflect on what’s transpired over the last 12 months—and think about how I can keep growing in ways that support my physical health and my mental well-being. ----   ---- This year I am celebrating my birthday together with my favourite uncle, my twin, and my best buddy. ----   ---- We just celebrated it with a simple dinner with family which made our birthday more special. ----   ---- I just prepared fried chicken for the kids, Sinigang na Bangus ( sour soup milkfish), grilled milkfish and bihon for a long life ☺️. ----  ---- A dinner with laughter and overload Chicka (chit-chat) that never forget when we are having a gathering, also the overnight karaoke. ----  ---- And of course, the birthday blowing of the candle. So to my Ninong (GodParent) Celo, thank you for your unconditional support not just for me but for my family, I am always grateful that you are my Ninong who is doing his job to be my guide to the right path, my survivor anytime I am drowning and being my second father thank you Nong ☺️. Again happy birthday and wish you everything that your heart desires. # 7 Lesson I learn this year **First** Allow yourself to have fun, time is precious use the most of it. **Second** Be appreciative of those people who appreciate and love you, stay connected. **Third** Acknowledge the growth you've experienced in the whole year, accept the challenges you've overcome, and learn from the mistakes you make. **Fourth** Focus on cultivating qualities like kindness, courage and joy. **Fifth** Nourish your soul and body, and do some activities. **Sixth** Simply perform acts of kindness for others. **Seventh** Acknowledge your accomplishments be proud of who you are and love yourself. To the extent you’d like to help me celebrate, please do something kind for someone in your life. That would make me happy. And that's all for today's blog hope you enjoy reading this one and see you on my next travel blog, Thank you and God Bless you all 😉 Ciao ✨.
