Daily Habit – June 27, 2009

It’s my birthday! When I was younger, I’ve always thought 28 was old and now I’m 32. I’m in the quarter of my life. Wow.

Last night, we dropped by my parents house to get Carlos. Before we left, my mom gave me her present (which my sister picked). I love it (see picture).

It was time to open my wife’s gift when we got home. We were both excited. Her gifts usually are presented well. She usually takes time to think about how the gift should look. That’s why all her gifts look very nice and elegant.

And so I opened my gift, and to my surprise, this is what I got (see the collage).

My wife was laughing when I opened the box. She said, it was funny that all of them were thinking of the same thing: giving me a bag for my birthday. Yeah. I love bags. Big, medium, compact. It doesn’t matter. So, these are my presents.

It’s June 27. I woke up at the usual time. 8-ish. I checked on Carlos. He’s still asleep. My wife isn’t in bed anymore and I could hear some noise in the kitchen. She’s cooking our breakfast. I got up and drained my bladder. Went to the other room to check my weight and as I went back to the room to record my weight, I saw this (see picture).

She caught me off-guard. I thought the gift ended with the bag. I was truly pleasantly surprised. It was so very thoughtful of her to give me a greeting card with a personal note inside. This is how the card looks like (see picture below). Isn’t she the sweetest?

You are the one I turn to when I need comfort and support.

I love your quiet strength.

You are the one I count on to lift my spirits and make me smile.

I love your sense of humor.

You are the one who understands me and accepts me just the way I am.

I love how you love me.

On your birthday and every day. I love the man you are.

Happy Birthday.

Got caught in really heavy traffic on our way to MOA (Mall of Asia). We got there at 5-ish. Imagine? We had lunch at 5pm?

Because it is my birthday today, I didn’t do any of my exercises. I’d like to call this day as a “day off” from work-out.

My weight didn’t change. It’s still is 154.8 lbs.
