September at its best Part 1: Birthday post

So yeah, I celebrated my 19^th birthday last September 9, Sunday. I was just so occupied with other things that I had no time and no energy to post a blog.

Since my birthday fall on a Sunday I had the time to go out and revel …

but nah… that has never been my way of celebrating my birthday. (Though I'd want to have it in the future, hehehe)

My mom, my brother and I just went on the mall and had lunch. But what really made me smile was when my mom allowed me to buy a new dress and a new pair of shoes, heels actually :) But believe me, that dress and heels are sine qua nons (a thing that’s absolutely necessary) and not just a mere desideratum (something desired). So I am now using latin words inspired by my subject International Law. Ako na! Mehehe :)

*And now I am literally imagining myself speaking fluently in Latin. How cool could that be? HAHAHA.

So now let me use a more serious tone.

I am again a year older, and I again have to change my description on my blogsites, from “sweet 18” to “sweet 19”. It’s my last year of being a so-called teenager and probably my last year to bum around, because the next time that I will be celebrating my birthday, *fingers crossed I am no longer a student and I am already out THERE, THERE at the place where I want myself to be.

I am again a year older, therefore when I look in the mirror I should now see someone finer, someone tougher and stronger, someone more confident, someone smarter and wiser, someone more sophisticated, or simply someone better. Better than what I saw a year ago.

I can frankly say : No, that someone is sadly still on her way, and it might take another year or two to finally see and feel her.

But that’s too negative of me to say. To be fair to myself, I've done good things these past few months. And I am very thankful for that. 

From being an org president, to being part of such a great office in the DFA, to being able to join a leadership seminar, up to winning a "blogging contest", all that and more happened uninterrupted. 

 To assess whether I improved or not, well maybe yes, but just a little bit. I am now more comfortable talking to people (professors, boss etc) and my always-trembling-knees are now more relaxed. And maybe it's because I have no choice. With such big responsibility I have right now, there's no room for me to be painfully shy and/or miserably bashful.

I don't know If I actually made sense in this post, but whatever, IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! :)))))))
