Happy Birthday to Me.

Today is my birthday! Yay!... I still feel the same way I did about birthdays than I did last year, so there's no point in rewriting (or copying and pasting) last year's post. Read it here--->

Today was nice though. My parents made me homemade waffles for breakfast, with whipped cream, peaches, maple syrup, and strawberry marmalade. My aunt, uncle and cousins along with my grandma joined us. My grandma said she was going to make me a cake, but instead she made me my favorite lime pie! I love it! But surprisingly no one else is a huge fan, so I'll probably end up eating it all myself.

I told my mom I didn't want any presents, so the only present I got was a perfume my aunt got me. It's "With Love" by Hillary Duff, which came out a while ago. I'm not much of a perfume person, I don't have patience to smell a whole bunch of perfumes and then decide which one "suits me". But I liked this perfume very much, it's interesting. So I'll be wearing that a lot.

<>So I hope this year is a better one (not that last year wasn't, but I believe in improving) May it be filled with a lot of success, luck, happiness, and love. < /positive-thoughts >

Happy Birthday to Me.

According to my birth certificate, 19 years ago I was born.


I really don't like birthdays. I feel awkward being congratulated and asked: "What does it feel like to be 19?". It doesn't feel different. I will feel awkward when later on I have to say my age and I hesitate in a mental battle that goes something like:
-I'm 18, I mean 19, I mean, yeah 19...

Also I feel like I have to be the center of attention the entire day, and that I need to act entertaining for everyone. I also feel awkward opening gifts. What if I don't like it? I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling, I wanna be thankful. What if it's cash? I like cash, yet it's not something that will take my breath away. What if I don't get anything? Well that would suck, yet it would be great at the same time.

I also feel like I need to have a smile fixed on my face the entire day. My face hurts when I smile for too long. Even if it is genuine. If it's not genuine, my face trembles.

But yet here I am: "Another year older, but none the wiser". I'm just glad I'm healthy, and with my family. That's enough to make me happy. Happy birthday, to me :]
