Getting another year older....

Whew, another year has past. I'm now a year older but doesn't feel like it. Just wanna thank everyone who remembered and greeted me today. Hugs to you all!!

We have nothing fancy planned for today. We are postponing it because it was raining the whole time outside. We just went to attend Sunday mass to give thanks for all the blessing He has given me. We also passed by KFC to buy food so that I can relax without having to worry of what am I going to cook for our day's meal.
