A Special Birthday Greeting
I met a handful of new people from different walks of life this year. Among those people, a few made a difference and made a mark in my life. It happened that today is the birthday of one person that made a mark by inspiring me to pursue a very challenging career in the field of finance. I really value his trust and friendship because he is the very first person that believed in me even if I keep on feeling frustrated because of the challenges that I'm currently experiencing (heck, I even felt and is somehow still feeling that I won't last in this field). He is even more patient than me. Art, as I fondly called him, is really such a noble and helpful friend, even if I've caused him several inconveniences (I've practically lost count). I will always be grateful to him for being there not only as a friend, but as a father figure to me.

On his birthday, I wish him nothing but more intangible blessings, especially those that really matter. I also wish him more health for him and his family, especially her daughter.

May the Lord continue to watch over my friends like Art.
