"happy burf-day to you!"
i have said that 3X since Jan 2007 started. it was bestie's bday on 2nd. mum's bday 3days ago. ivan's on 10 jan. somehow birthdays have become special days to remember for me this year.

never. i'm not going to take special people in my life for granted. very often we take them for granted. we assume that they will always be around 24/7 eternally. and we feel that birthdays are just days to commemorate the birth of someone.

yet, i know - life shouldn't be taken for granted. the fact that we are still breathing is already a blessing, a special blessing indeed. and for special people to cross our life's pathways, shouldn't we take this once-in-a-year occasion to thank them, appreciate them and embrace them?

of cos - that depends on how close you are. intimacy is built over time. have u ever hugged ur bestie and showed concern? if u havent, do it soon! for you never wana regret.
