In a Happy Place

May 7th, 2009.

I have a lot of reasons to be annoyed today. For one, my baby Chiquito is limping with a sprained right leg. My boyfriend just took him to the vet for check up, and he spent around 1200 pesos for Chiquito’s x-ray and joint vitamins. Another thing I should be annoyed at is the weather. It’s raining real hard and a typhoon is set to hit the country before the week ends. We’ll be flying to Cebu early tomorrow morning for a trip to Kota Beach Resort, so any sign of bad weather is highly unwelcome. And lastly, I’m about to take a very important exam on Sunday, but I feel like I’ve neglected reviewing for it (though I’ve been attending summer classes for it). I’m excited and I feel quite ready, but I know I haven’t given my best in studying for this exam.

On the bright side, there are things that make me happy about today. Not even the bad weather nor Chiquito’s limping leg can dampen my mood about these things.

Today, May 7th, is my boyfriend’s 20Nth birthday. Heh. Today is also our 21st month together. He’s been through a lot in his life, and the same goes for our relationship. I don’t have profound words to explain how much he means to me, and how much being with him has helped me grow. All I know is that I love him. With that, I want to shout this out:

Happy birthday, hon.

I’m thankful, because with you, I’m in a happy place.

I love you.
