21

i turn 21 today. i've always loved birthdays. i find it more exciting than christmas. or new year. or any other holiday on the planet. last night, i found it really hard to go to sleep. it's something i do every year. i wait until midnight to see who would be the first to greet me. last night, though, i had my first greeters even before the clock stroked 12. donna wins. at 11 pm, she had greeted me already while we were texting. then allan (real shocker). then aimee (praningles). then xenia (dude! tagay!). then dennis (how can i forget edsa shang? how can i top it?!). then ces. who called me exactly at midnight, even if the line was choppy.

of course, my mom had to whisper it in my ear last night. and then was freaky dancing earlier. haha. what a sight. and we're going shopping later. she got her gift sized wrong. hehe. whoopee!

then this morning, i would find myself waking up to the sound of my cellphone ringing. some old friends remembered. i never thought they would, because the last time they remembered, i was still in high school. haha. thanks noel (banker, libre mo ko). jonas and migs, too. i'll see you in another party, i bet.

jen left her gift for me on my bedroom floor before she went to school. grey's anatomy! yeey!

xyla (tigbak!) and binay (sana magkasama-sama tayo diyan) too. oh, but they always remember. they've always been just around the corner for me... hehe. i just tend to be a little anti-social sometimes. pschoory.

then there's mervs. we have a morning routine of texting already. umlauts will always be special to me.Ü right now, we're chatting on ym. my mornings will never be the same if i don't wake up to see his picture flashing on my phone. actually, my life will never be the same without him... awwww. i'm starting to get mushy. i'll be seeing him later. just typing that last line had me smiling already. he's the best gift life could ever give me. and he knows that.

another thing i liked about waiting for my birthdays is watching tv! hehe. i was watching myx last night and i absolutely enjoyed their backtraxx. 90s pop! all the songs i know from way back when my hair was one length and short, and i was rail-thin and buck-toothed. haha. i was 12 when those songs came out. now i'm 21. woow. baliktaran. deep. haha.

ayun. that's the end of my birthday post. thank you, to everyone who remembered.Ü hope we all have a good year.
