Birthday

Happy Birthday!
So apparently someone scribbled my birthday on the calendar.  Little did they know that I stopped celebrating mine 3 years ago, so I'm still officially 25!

When we were younger there seems to be an excitement about your birthday.  It's like your very special day, it's like everything is going your way.  Everyone's your friend, wishing you the best!  It's also a special day when you can have almost anything you want.  I want a new shoes for my birthday, new t-shirt, a gaming console maybe.  This was such a thrill when I was younger - I'm still young though.

Probably it was a gradual loss of excitement but recently I realized I'm not excited about my birthday anymore.  I do not when was the time it started when birthdays just became ordinary days.  Sure, I may go out or eat out with some friends and family but it's different when I was younger.  The thrill was gone, I wonder how in the world happened.

Or could it just be that, I am getting old?

I have edited this post for the nth time because there are still thoughts and ideas that need to sink in.  Also, I made a decision not to post or react when I am angry or pissed.  Sure, I was pissed when I first read the article.  Who wouldn't be?  But I just officially turned 28 and I need to act, you know - civilized.  You've got filter the facts and try to address the issue on how personally you can change for the better as a person.  I only found two response articles via Twitter:  " Editing James Soriano " and " Coming Home to the Filipino Language ".  If you have any article or known any worth-reading article you can message me here or ...

Brownies

W ay back in college I sell brownies to friends, classmates and teachers even as a source of extra income at mom's expense.  Sometimes I work so late up night just to finish three layers of these brown goodies and completely forgot I still have my nursing care plan to do.  She provided all the ingredients but every time I make a sale, I constantly forgot to give her back her share.  Sorry mom but I am still thankful for teaching me your recipes on at a time.  Fudge Brownies is a simple recipe and thus today  tonight I'll share this simple yet good-for-starters recipe. The Adventures of Domo-Kun Let the baking begin after the jump.
