Gift-giving to celebrate my birthday. The idea just popped on my mind 3 years ago out of nowhere. I feel so blessed and I want to share my blessings. Blessings doesn't necessarily mean material things.. My blessings are my friends & family. You. It's also a routine during my birthdays that I ask for a very simple gift from my friends like asking everyone to be cherry coke each on my birthday for me.. Then on the next birthday I asked for C2 iced tea.. Simple things though it really made me happy receiving those from my friends.. I had supplies for weeks.. Wee! :) So before my birthday in 2007, I texted all my friends asking for a gift.. This time, I was asking for toiletries and toys.. And so MAY Birthday Project was born.. Then I asked for their help again in 2008.. then this year.. and as long as I'm celebrating my birthday, there'll be MAY Birthday Project.. Hehe. I don't really like soliciting from people. But if it's not for me, medyo makapal na ang mukha ko.. Haha.
I love MAY Birthday Project. It's a sick person (ako yon!) helping another sick person (in a way).. I was confined in the hospital before (a lot of times), just like them.. I was also stuck in bed before, like them. I was so weak, like most of them.. I was bored in the hospital, like all of them.. Yet I keep on fighting and living and I'm okay now.. Yes I'm still sick, but I'm great! Being sick doesn't mean you have to be sick.. Ayun, I hope I gave them HOPE (ang redundant) to keep fighting & living.. Kasi nga LIFE is BEAUTIFUL.
