It's my birthday today. Yes, it's the start of my 29th year on Earth.

How did I celebrate my birthday? Well, there was really no celebration. I couldn't celebrate the way I wanted to because of the numerous medications I'm taking because of my condition.

A lot of my friends greeted me on Facebook and through text messages. I'm glad they remembered. Thanks to the birthday reminder feature of Facebook. Hehehe.

Anyway, my birthday's not complete, though, because Mai isn't with me. I'm still here in Manila with my family. Because of my condition, I had to prolong my stay here. This is my first birthday in 4 years that she wasn't with me so it's kinda sad 'coz I know she'd do everything to make this day special for me. She said that I'll just have an extended birthday celebration. We'll have our own celebration when I return to Cebu. I know how hard it is for her not to be with me on my birthday.

But, hey, my nanay brought home Greenwich pizza and lasagna, as I requested. And I had my brother buy me Jollibee 2-piece Chickenjoy and Tuna Pie yesterday as my own gift to myself 'coz I've been craving for it for weeks now. Yeah, all that greasy fast food made my day. Hehehe.

In my past birthdays, I always have friends come over and we drink all night long. Now, I guess I kinda grew tired of all that partying. But, of course, I still miss them because I remember having soooo much fun with my friends around. Now, I enjoy intimate celebrations with my life partner Mai and my family in Cebu or in Manila. But, I'm still looking forward to a drinking session with my friends next time when I'm back here in Manila and I'm in good health.

What's my birthday wish? Nothing extravagant. I just wish and pray for a long, healthy life, and the same for my loves ones, too. This is my first birthday that I wasn't in good shape. But, I'm doing better and will be completely okay soon, hopefully. I've already quit smoking (yes, 6 months nicotine-free!) so losing weight is next to my list. I really need to lose the weight I gained in the past years because of my lifestyle and PCOS. I know it won't be as easy as me quitting smoking 'coz I love food but I hope I can accomplish it in the next months.

Wish me luck!
