Carpe diem

Dear 2013, They say time and tide wait for none. True, isn't it? I mean it seems like only yesterday that I've met you and it's been one year already. One amazing year, I must mention.  So many memories, many many stories, I can never forget how wonderful you've been. There is so much to talk, but let's see how much you remember from the last 12 months. I guess it was somewhere around mid April, 2012 that I've started writing this blog.

It doesn't really look like those taken on a birthday but then there was a cake too in the photo with a candle on it. Yeah, my first birthday. I have no idea how I celebrated my birthday when I turned 1. And my face in that photo shows it all. I'm sure as hell even you have a picture of your birthday somewhere taken when you didn't know what a birthday actually is. How I wish I remember what happened on that day. It's your day and you don't know what you did. Why? I mean, you have your parents and cousins and aunts telling you that you wore a green frock and had got a Mickey Mous...
