Sweet Like Chocolate.

The sweetest greetings have been sent my way. Friends posted greetings in facebook and twitter. Some others wrote me long emails. Many others texted. Some, called.

Funny how I have friends who actually greet me everyday for nine days (novena? LOL). And there are those who text me everyday for one week. But I like it. I feel so loved.

My birthday is still tomorrow, but the celebration has started. And perhaps, will go on for a few more days or weeks.

Thank you sweet sweet people for the kind thoughts and wishes.

Two Aileens made me feel very special.

Ayen called last night. I have been thinking about her and Nikki for weeks now and her call was a pleasant surprise. It was so wonderful to hear her voice. We haven't been in touch for many months because life got too busy. But it felt like we never really lost touch. In fact, hearing her voice was such great comfort. It felt like home.

Thank you, Ayen. I was soooo happy.

And another Aileen wrote a heartwarming entry for me. She's one of the most talented people I know. And one of the gentlest, too. I hope one day we'd be able to spend more time together.

Thank you, Leen. I had to hold back tears while reading it.

Yes, I have the sweetest sweetest friends.

I'm off to dive this weekend. I will bring photos and stories when I get back.
