Insightful, Hopeful

I would like to take time to greet some people who are celebrating their birthdays this August. I would also give a little trivia about them, and include my greetings as well.

15th - MIKE
Mike is the friend of my classmate in college, and we were introduced via ICQ (a popular instant messenger way back late 1990s to 2002). Turns out he is the brother of one of my classmates in Grade 3. As he said, it was classic friendster example even before friendster came to be. :)
Most of the time, he is my chat buddy in YM especially during the wee hours of the morning. Or more exactly from midnight till about 1 or 2 am. He's one of the best listeners out there. Perhaps it's also that we just have these things in common - we just like to talk about life, we love watching tv (I'll wait for those Grey's Anatomy episodes ;)), love tech stuff, and we have various interests.
So Mike thanks for listening and sharing too. My chat life has become more colorful indeed hehe. Goodluck on the stuff you want to do, and your business/entrepreneurial endeavors. On your lovelife, may it be uncomplicated. Enjoy life.

19th - SARAH
Sarah is my friend from Pre-com (1st and 2nd year of college). Though some people did not like her during those days because she seemed "maarte", she proved them wrong by just being herself and winning the friendship of most. We had fun moments during those years, as our classes were only half-day so we had time to go to the mall hehe. We both love Pierce Brosnan especially in those James Bond movies. :D
She has been an achiever, in the past and in the present. She had been into debating in college, and a student council officer. Now she is a CPA, and I admire her coz she has achieved her goals career-wise. Goodluck on your lovelife girl, may you find him or perhaps you have. ;)

24th - J
J is my best friend's sweetie :)
I met him many times before because he always kinda appeared out of nowhere during those early days (just kidding :P)
He is a true music lover, and was kind enough to share some of his collections via his server. He is also an award-winning web designer and graphic artist.
Too bad I wasn't able to attend his party. I heard their band (Spelling Contest) played some of their original songs. Goodluck on your music and your work. Hopefully, you'll be able to play in the mainstream and be included in one of those tribute albums. You're one of the few people I know who followed their passion for art and succeeded. As for you and your sweetie (my cutie friend :)), may you have happiness and love that will last a lifetime.

28th - Janella aka Babes
My one and only niece. She is now 8 years old, and I'm happy that she's growing up to be a smart kid. Before, I thought I wouldn't get so close to her coz she did not live with us unlike my nephew Jonel. But at times I see myself in herself, especially her moodiness (I was like that as a child).
She also loves music, she likes those songs in Lea's "I am but a Small Voice" album. And she's getting to like books, which is really good.
Her other talents include dancing (her Chopetta dance is the best), and her ability to compute (a budding Math wizard).
To my dear niece, may you develop your talents and use it for greater good. May you be successful in what you choose to do. Enjoy your childhood, I know you do :)
