It feels like it was just a blink ago when I last had my birthday and now, here I go again, celebrating another fruitful year!

This photo was taken when I literally just woke up to catch the breakfast buffet during our staycation in one of the hotels in Manila. This was actually one of my favorite rest days as I was able to actually relax; do nothing, throw a blank stare, and… reflect in life. Especially since as I age, I become even more concerned with how meaningful I live my life. Sharing below random “power lines” I take note of as my guide in every step of the way.
