Today, I have reached yet another milestone *not really a milestone by any calendar...but I'll still consider it as one!* in my life. 

A year has gone by.  A year filled with...happy as well as sad moments, changes: good and bad, eye-opening situations, new friendships, tears, laughter, and lots more...all stored in that tiny box; my treasure house: Memories.

What has changed over the past year?  Well, my life + expectations have changed.  I've come to realize that there is nothing that should be accomplished by a certain age.  Wiser?  Definitely.  I've also realized that all my experiences are unique.  Each one of them...they can't be bought, nor manufactured, nor are they tangible i.e. unique.  & that fact makes me feel good. 

A point for the years to come?  I need to celebrate my birthday...I need to get me a  =) Though I know I'll have a tough time with the wishing part lol  I never was big on celebrating my birthday...sad I think.  I should've.  I mean, I rock.  Right? LOL *kidding*

What happens next? There are many things to consider... Is it wrong to have many stuffed animals sitting on my bed? Do I live an 'oyster' kinda life?  Do I need to 'chill'?  Am I working in the wrong industry?  Am I really happy?  Have I really typed in 188 entries over the past one year and 2 months?  I have, it seems...!  Lot & lots of questions...

Today marks the start of my journey towards another milestone...

Happy Birthday to me

+sigh+ how easy life slips by...

Happpppppppy Birthdayyyyyy lulu wa 3agabaaaaal meyaat sanaaa wa 3agbaaaaaaaaal meyaaat milestone inshallah!!! wa gooomy wa get yourself a cake right now!:P you deserve one :)

Happy Birthday LuLu :) Wish U all the best :) o 3gbal Alf sina inshalla.. Waiting for my share of the Cake :P

The words have not been forming in my head as they usually do. Sad… maybe, frustrated… definitely, aggravated… some what. Where do I belong and where shall I go, who will I meet when I get there, and will I find something I never knew I was looking for. I seem to be able to write when I visit here, but nothing comes to mind when I try to post in my own journal. Strange… I have a thousand questions I want to ask, but I’ll defer and wish you a happy birthday instead.

Its good to always learn from your mistakes and grow wiser.They say you grow up when you start learning from your mistakes.o:) wise thoughts

beautifully written.. i love your words.. your style in writing..

Happy Birthday Lulu.. May all your wishes come true.. o may you also live a long successful life surrounded by your loved ones..

years often pass by some with no lessons learned and no resolutions acheived.. think how lucky you are because you've made sense of every event that took place.. whether happy or sad.. you analysed it and learn from it.. some are just too ignorant to learn anything..

and i agree.. you do need to celebrate your birthday.. always! i mean you weren't born on the 29th of Feb.. so why not? =)
create more memories.. and if you think you're an oyster.. i think you are a butterfly in disguise.. you just need a push to start fluttering your wings in public..

don't lose the stuffed animals.. you will eventually when you get married.. so keep them for now.. ;)

upwards and onwards..

:)

Happy belated birthday..i didn't forget..our internet was down...we all wish you a happy one and many more great ones to come...love ya..:)
