A Year Older but None the Wiser

I turned 19 today. Not like it matters. I'm pretty much the same girl I was at least a couple of years ago.

However, upon celebrating my so-called debut to adulthood, I didn't have the slightest inkling that I would wake up a year later feeling at least 20 years ahead of my time. Then, I was at the peak of my youth. A micron away from juvenile delinquency, but a UPLB slave student while at it.

Now, I feel like a massive responsibility has been placed upon my shoulders and I have become a plain housewife [minus the sexual freedom *snicker*]. Not like it matters. Oh well, no surprise a miserable young lady will receive nothing but misery on the day she said "hello" to the world.

-------------------------------

I greeted mum "Happy 19 years of motherhood". At least, I'm not so self-absorbed.

Consolation: paternal relatives threw a get-together for me. It wasn't hard plastering a smile on my face. Everyone in the country was there. I really do appreciate the gesture, sarcasm aside. [tear :')] Astro went with us. He loved my family so much he swore I'm the woman he'll marry someday. Hmmm... I'm thinking "Sure, why not? In like, 10 years or so!Ü".

------------------------------

I realized today that unless you're throwing a birthday bash [where people of course will practically do anything to be invited to], no one will bother to greet you. Less than a dozen spent a peso in sending me their birthday greetings. But, I'm fully contented anyway. Coz those few people were the ones closest to my heart. They were worth a million greetings from nobodies. Thank you everyone! Mwah from the bottom of my heart.

Advanced Birthday Gift

A couple of days ago, I sent out e-mails to my sisses requesting assistance regarding my job hunt. Sis Thea forwarded my e-mail to some brods and sisses and these brods and sisses forwarded the e-mail to a lot more. In short, there was a sort of e-mail campaign to find me a job.

I consider it an early birthday gift from the Betans. Special thanks to Thea for the effort. Thanks, Sis!Ü Mwah!

Saturday Salvation

Jane, Xavier, Simon and I went to Rock Radio Cafe in Alabang last night for Sickfest, after going to Manuela for some-kinda-but-not-really family reunion in honor of the visiting relatives. Typical band-night. But I was more than glad to be anywhere but home.

Mortalgrudge [apparently, according to Jane, they have an ongoing major dispute with Mortalfear for obvious reasons.] plays so much better than Mortalfear. Probably slightly attributed to the fact that they have better-looking members. But, they are ill-mannered, too.

Ding! When someone is introduced to you, the least you can do is say hi back or even give a small nod. You don't just walk away. It's just down-right arrogant. Didn't your mothers teach you any manners?

Red Flag is Up

...but it has nothing to do with my dark mood.

These cramps are so killing me! I hate being a member of the female species.
But, I love being a girl most of the time, though.Ü
