In exactly 55 minutes, numbers will change and I will soon write 21 on blanks that ask for my age.

Few people asked me what I want for my birthday. Someone even joked, "Don't tell me you want world peace."

If you guys insist, then I must oblige.

1) Havaianas (39/40 Brazilian size. 41/42 for allowance.)
2) Books
3) Dishwalla CD
4) Bags
5) Chymera from the Body Shop
6) Tumi wallet
7) Bulgari Blu for women (40 ml)
8) Jacket
9) Jeans
10) Nike Apparel (Shirts!!!)
11) Nike shoes
12) Nike bags
13) Technomarine (pink)
14) Roxy backpack
15) SM Gift certificate
16) Starbucks drinking glass (yellow with stars)
17) iPod mini leather case
18) Plasma TV
19) Anne Klein watch

I used to think that this coming birthday of mine is my saddest ever. But then I figured, there's so much to be thankful for in this life, and that life itself isn't enough to enumerate each one of them.

Kuya Jess, thank you so much for 21 wonderful years of lessons, triumphs, and defeats. Even if I am wishing for a lot of things *ehem* this birthday *parinig, parinig*, I know deep inside me that it's only you who can fill all the emptiness within me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please always keep me and my family safe in your arms. I love you, basta Ikaw. =)

Because Kuya Jess knows my thesis is becoming a burden already, guess what? I have a new research to work on.

Haaay. Si Jess talaga. Works in mysterious ways. =)
