This is the first time I’ve delayed a birthday post since 2009. (Which is what I would have wanted to say, but I just realized I actually missed writing for my 27th and 28th birthday too).

This birthday post is around three months delayed and for good reason: Unlike last year, I spent my birthday back in Cebu with my family and shortly after departed to start a new chapter of my life here in Vancouver.

Pretty teacup roses from my mom. I know I’ve not been a very diligent blogger for the past 2 years. Getting digitally lazy because real life is so much more fun.

The sky greeted me with gentle fog from the cold, and soft sun rays peeking through the trees on my birthday.

In search. So, I officially turned 23 today. Every year seems to be different, mostly in the divergence from the essence of my photography.

Woke up today feeling like its just another day. Folded my blanket, sat on the bed and stared into space. I had to remind myself that today was different.

I will develop this ritual of writing an entry every year to commemorate the events and feelings during my birthday. Reading my entry last year, I think nothing much has changed within me.

Happy birthday to me~ I’m now on chapter 2 of my life. Most may shudder at the fact of leaving teenhood, but I’m actually relieved in a way.
