I woke up today at 11 am and saw that it was raining outside. I love the rain! Besides the fact that it ALWAYS rains on my birthday...wherever part of the world I am.... a lot of good things happen/happened to me when it rains/rained. And because it's raining today....my birthday.....I'm sure It's God pouring his blessing and wishing me a good year ahead again!Thanks God! Youre the BEST!
Okay....so....my birthday....Well, Im still here in Japan. Im leaving in a few hours for my summer holiday. I'll be having another birthday celebration in Sri Lanka with Rajitha and Ron. My birthday coincides with their 10th year wedding anniversary so they said, it's going to be a big celebration. Can't wait for it.
I had 4 birthday celebrations last year. 3 of those celebrations were in different parts of Japan...Different islands....and 1 was in Cambodia with good friends. I have 5 celebrations this year. One was last night (July 25), at Farida's apartment

One is in Sri Lanka on Saturday (July 28), and the other 2 are in the Philippines. My bestfriend Joyce said she will be cooking for my birthday, invite people and celebrate so she'll feel that Im there, and my family are celebrating it as of this writing. Oh, Im just so lucky to be loved!
