Writing Prompt ~ Writing Numbers

I recall putting a blog with the heading "HOW MANY OBJECTS" When I see this Writing Prompt "writing number" I decided to re-post the same blog again, because it falls under the said writing prompt: See:

How many objects:

The girl had twenty-five flowers and seven candles, but she was puzzled how to distribute these objects and whom she would give them to, because she had only one boy friend. Luckily the friend came to see her with one large cake and one card.

"What is this cake for?" She asked him.

I don' know whether it was a result due to the law of attraction (the Secret) or just a simple coincidence that happened in ma life.

As a kid, I just can remember I was in love with English language and among all the names I really liked "Alex". Just every night before sleeping I used to dream that I could speak English fluently, every body called me Alex; I was prominent and famous in teaching different languages. Several years passed and I totally forgot those childish, ridiculous dreams. Havin
