Maybe what you find is something you do not like very much...then you would put away the box wondering what to do with the present...
But, if the next day you find another present, you would open it also and, if this time you find something inside that you like very much....
A memory from someone that is far away....a beautiful clothing you saw on a window shop...the keys to a new car....a beautiful winter coat...or just a beautiful flower from somebody that remembered you.....
This happens every day, but we do not realize it...
Every day when we wake up, it is there, before us, a present sent to us by God....a whole day to use in the best possible way
Sometimes it comes with problems, issues that we do not seem to be able to solve. Sometimes it comes with sadness, deception, even tears...
But other times it comes full of surprises, happiness, success and achievements......
What is important is that every day we receive a present, wrapped especially for us while we sleep: THE NEXT DAY.
We are presented this box with colored bows, no matter what the day brings........
That day when we wake up every morning is a PRESENT.....
The present that life gives us.
It is not always what we wish or what we hope for......
But it is the best for us, what we need most, what we have to learn.....what we need to grow...
Open your PRESENT every day, giving thanks first to the Creator that gave it to you, without thinking what is inside the box.
If today you do not receive the present you wanted, wait for the next one....and appreciate what you received today
Tomorrow... Open your present with love and enthusiasm, because one day your dreams and the life plan for you will come inside the box, beautifully wrapped for you...
Life does not care about what we want....just about what we need.....
And that is good
May you have a day full of blessings, in which you can feel the loving presence of your Creator, and may the present of every day bring you peace, spiritual growth, and enlightment on all we still have to learn about every day, and the plan life has for us, every day.....

I’m still unsure if that is my present... I still feel very confused because everybody feels it is stiffling for me... And I don’t know if I reject, what’s next due to the bleakness in economy... GA, is that a clear sign from you? I keep bugging you, keep asking you but am I listening, am I accepting your response? Sigh...
Anyway... this birthday my brother chose to buy me a cake... It is a very sinful Coco Exotic cake.
Quite yummy but the box reminded me of another cake bought a year ago… it seems so coincident that both of them were bought from the same brand.. I know I promise to wake up already… So I’m trying very hard to revert back our relationship…
Oh and my friend treated me to the Indian restaurant – Maharajah Restaurant @ Boat Quay… The exact same restaurant that I chose (with my colleague?) to deliver lunch 2 weeks ago to celebrate our promotions. She insisted that eating over there with the scenery and breeze is definitely better than delivery.
Hmm the river sight is beautiful… but I did not catch the 12 animal signs light displays that my friend told me about in Boat Quay... guess I’m blind.
Then we went shopping and each bought a box of Fancl – Tense Up. She was intending to buy that in Japan and I thought I should try too and see if I like it. Else no point lugging back from Japan if I cannot stomach it. The saleslady was lovely, she realised it was my birthday that day and decided to package the box nicely such that it will be like a birthday present for myself haha. And she wished me happy birthday too.
I was quite taken aback by the kind gesture. And as usual I’m very touched by all the warm wishes I received from the first greetings till the last... as well as the early and belated wishes... Thank you so much.
Most importantly, I thank GA for my present... I hope to make up my mind soon.
