#### What's up Steemians? I hope everything's going well with you. I turned a year older today. I am now shamelessly 36. I am not getting any younger anymore and I felt like I have to work harder and do the things I love and would love to do, so I won't have regrets later on. > *I am more than halfway to senior citizenship.* ![IMG_20180627_122234-01.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZjbhbSmCwPvLhNWEYWJXDjGEHTtuSBAAQEstCxmxvw7d/IMG_20180627_122234-01.jpeg) #### HOW MY SPECIAL DAY WENT I set my alarm to 4am before I hit the sack last night, so that I could attend the weekday Holy Mass at 5:30am. I attended the Holy Eucharist to give thanks to the Lord for an additional year of life, and to say my gratitude for giving me a job that I have longed to have. The mass ended after an hour. I was thinking of going to a pastry store to buy myself a box of cake, but the stores were still close. I just went home then and decided to take some more nap. Anyway, there's no work waiting for me today. I woke up at 10 am and had a quick breakfast. At around past 11am, I decided to cook spaghetti. i already have some ingredients bought a few weeks ago. So, all I have to do is get on with the cooking. ###### *This is the end result. I can share to you the preparation procedure, but this was more of a "follow instruction" method. Ehat I did was just follow dirextions at the back of the pasta's packaging.* ![IMG_20180627_130415-01.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmf7vYgNprTDuQY27igW3CEYvidjv4Meotwj7rcFoxVfFo/IMG_20180627_130415-01.jpeg) > ### That's how my simple birthday celebration came about. ![PhotoGrid_1508745993775.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmejymuXDLZaXzjiAB3d8yKpMcpY2D64X468s5mc3Tqc7T/PhotoGrid_1508745993775.jpg) #### Please UPVOTE, FOLLOW, and RESTEEM!
