32

Dainty shoes, first-time ferris wheel ride and a 
Japanese dinner made my 32nd birthday.

My 32nd birthday celebration was as simple as I had wanted it to be. Francis and I spent most of the day at a mall, but it was fun nevertheless. And the highlight of the day? My first ferris wheel ride!

I actually insisted on trying it out. But because I have some sort of fear of heights, I almost backed out just when our car was lifting. I could already feel panic rising to my throat that I had to distract myself so that I won't think about how high we were already. It's lame, I know, but I had a great time. I think I have to give it another go some day so that I can finally enjoy the sights from above the ground. Haha!

As I turned another leaf, I promise to surprise myself this year. I want to do something unexpected, be it as mundane as finally giving in to hair color, or perhaps as serious as changing careers. I still don't know yet, but I'll take things as they come. One thing's for sure, though: I will not allow myself to be defeated by things I cannot control. I shall pursue happiness and own it and share it, with the help of the Lord and my loved ones. 

I'm going to make my 32nd year count!
