17.

I am finally 17! I don't understand why, but a lot of people have been telling me that 17 is a good age. Hm, why? Is it because I can legitimately watch rated-R movies? Hahah. Just kidding. Anywho, I think as you get older, birthdays become less thrilling. When I was little, I would wait for my birthday for weeks. But now, it's just like, "Oh, it's my birthday. Woopee!" kinda thing. You know? But yeah. I think at first, I was a little excited but as the day dragged on, I was just like, "I wanna go home and sleep." But in the end of it all, I had a very fun birthday, thanks to many people. :)

So last night, I wanted to sleep early so I wouldn't be bothered my texts and calls at 12AM. (Btw, thank you for everyone who texted me happy birthday!) But I took a nap earlier that day so I could not sleep whatsoever. I was just on the phone with Andrew, rolling around in my bed. I even made him count sheep for me. As I was pondering upon what I can do to make myself go to sleep, I was thinking about jumping around to get tired. And then I thought, what if I jumped in the same place contiunuously, would the ground make a hole? Yeah, I don't know. I get really weird thoughts in my head at times. So yeah, eventually, I fell asleep. Around...11:40ish I believe. My record was 45-50 sheeps. Heheh. Thankyou Andrew. :)

I woke up in the morning with a smile on my face. I think just the fact that it was my birthday put me in a really good mood. The day passed by quickly, just like any other day. Thank you Jean and Yafi for getting the class to sing me happy birthday. :) So everyone met up at Maggianos around 5:15ish and we got settled in and waited for others to arrive. The presents were random, but it's the thought that counts. Thank you guys! Anyway, they gave me a super cute tiramisu cake that I didn't touch. I just brought it home. Maybe I'll eat it tomorrow. And then Dante bought me pink lemonade, which was really sour. But it was for a good cause so I guess that's okay. Oh! The usher guy was really cute. Heheh. His name was Mike. Mmm, Mike. :) The bill was like $223.32. Personally, Maggianos was not that great. But it was for the experience. Next will be Benihanas or BJs. YAY!


There's three candles there!
One for me, one for Philip, and one for Eddie. :)

My (our) birthday is almost over. But like I said, as we get older, birthdays gradually mean less and less, I think. Nonetheless, I had a another memorable year. Thank you to all the people who sent me texts, gave me calls, left me comments/voicemails, sang for me, got me cards, and all the hugs. I love you guys. ♥

A special thanks to my twin sister Julie. I love your gift, although it wasn't what you wanted to get me, it's really the thought that counts. And new can be good too. I love you so so much and thank you for the really long letter, the last one made me cry. No matter what, we'll always get through what comes towards us, because we've been through way too much to give up. Regardless of what people say, our friendship is more than what others think and thank you so much for always being there for me. Thank you for never judging the things I do, even if they end up being stupid mistakes. Thank you for picking me up when I fall and keeping me from making the wrong decisions. I honestly sometimes have doubts about our friendship but you always push those thoughts away. Thank you so much again, for giving me another wonderful birthday. I hope yours will be as great as mine. I love you twin sister! ♥

In conclusion,
happy birthday Philip and Eddie!
I hope your birthdays was as cherishable as mine. :)
