Three important things happened in the past two weeks.
1. Birthday without the blues. I usually get blue during birthdays but this time, I just had a relaxing birthday dinner and wine with three friends. We talked about usual "adult" stuff and "adult" realizations and "adult" changes to our bodies. We were able to laugh at our flaws which gave me the usual fuzzy feeling whenever I am with them. Birthday wish? To be reassured that I'm just fine, physically. Or that if I'm not fine, that I'm still gonna live long. Apart from new projects and new passions to work on, of course.
2. Awards and accolades. I forgot to blog about a documentary I'm working on. It's about a couple who lost all their four kids to the supertyphoon Yolanda. We are the winner for BEST PICTURE for the recently concluded QCIFF. We didn't expect it so imagine how loud our shrieks were when we heard we're the winners. It was my first time to give a "thank you" speech. It wasn't that bad. I was articulate enough, surprisingly. And the best part about it? We will receive a P300,000 cash prize! Wuhooo! And because of that I have the guts to push through our planned Eurotrip!
3. Eurotrip and IDFA! I just submitted my documents to the Netherlands Embassy yesterday. I cannot imagine that I'm really going to Amsterdam and Paris with my friends! I'm so grateful and excited!
So many blessings coming my way that I cannot help but feel special. It's as if someone up there is giving me a special treatment. I know it's superficial, but I will buy presents for everyone I know this Christmas. I'm just brimming with happiness that I have to share it to others.
Here's my speech for all my blessings:
Thank you Universe, thank you God, thank you gods, thank you my dear ancestors, thank you to my mom and sister who are constantly watching over me, thank you Hugo for being a good father to Sput so that I can pursue my passion without worrying, thank you Sput for being the sweetest and for being my #1 fan, thank you ate Bing for taking care of me and Marion (for all the time you boiled water for my bath, for giving me a cup of tea even if I don't ask), thank you Mommy Vivian and Daddy Suy for listening to me even though I sound annoying with my health rants. I feel so lucky. I don't deserve this but I will just claim it. I will share every blessing I have to all of you.
