Going Nerd

This past few weeks, I've been leaning over being addicted to this quiz game site.

Game of Nerds was introduced to me by a friend who thought I just could not pass the invitation - and yes, my friend was right.

The day my friend invited me was the day my brain started to think.. again.
I can't help but stress that MY BRAIN STARTED WORKING AGAIN!
All the information trapped in the innermost part of my brain was dug one by one just to answer that one question I had seen or heard somewhere, sometime. Most of the time, it was just a random letter pressed due to the stressful ticking of the game clock.

I am a little far down compared to my nerd friends but one day, with all my brain cells revived, coins paid for full perks and celebrity friends hired, I might have the chance of someday mocking them too.

The Mockery Method

The day I turned a year older

Every year, November 3 will just be one of those days that you may probably call ordinary.
But I believe it was not as ordinary as it seemed the day my mom and my dad got me from God.

I often hear my parents saying I could cry, suck my pacifier then cry again.

This year, I turned 27.
My day started just like any other day - waking up to my alarm.

I was overwhelmed by the birthday greetings I received from Facebook, but what got me was how God planned my day for me.

First, I received text messages from my parents, my best friend, my cousin, Raisa and my godmother. I was so overwhelmed, I cried.

I also received the awesome-est messages from my brother and sister.

and a letter from Yuu

Then Yuu-chan sent me a reply letter asking me when my birthday was. Her mom was surprised to how timely her daughter's question was when I answered - 'It's today!'

My boss gave me treats and another japanese friend gave me chocolates.

There were overflowing birthday greetings in my email and I couldn't thank them enough for remembering me.

My previous trainer also approached me and treated me for coffee.







And so did my previous manager.

Though I worked overtime, and never did get anyone for a birthday party, I cooked pasta and chatted with my family.

This may seem I celebrated my birthday alone - but it was God's way of giving me time to celebrate my birthday with my family. I needed it and He just knows me too well.

You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise;    you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down;    you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
