Lifting the heaviest weight one can have, running the longest mile with the fastest P.R. or even carrying your groceries without the help of your yaya or hubby or whoever.

Today, is one of my little girl's birthday.
This day had me contemplating on the other meaning of STRENGTH.

Yza Mae, is a sweet kid who is kind hearted, dreams big and loves life.

I remember when I was in the hospital eleven years ago, the doctor was wondering why it was taking long for her delivery -- and eventually found out that she was in distress due to an abnormal dual cord coiling on her neck -- after grueling hours of operation, she survived.

Her doctor had announced that she is a lucky kid, with a lucky birth date - 9.9.00.
