So hurrah! My blog is back! :D In the past, I've suffered epic blog failure...I couldn't log in for some reason. But now it's working again, so yay! :)
Today is the day I, my twin brother Jonathan (and Dakota Fanning as well, psh :P) turn 16! :) Meh, so I know I'm not exactly "old" old, since everyone I know is turning 17 or 18, but hey it means a lot! For one, I'm old enough to get a student's permit (though I have yet to learn how to drive....BV. :| ), old enough to have a boyfriend without excuses (none of that "BUT YOU'RE TOO YOUNG!" crap =)) ), and old enough to...I'll think of more later. :P Today's the day sixteen years ago, some epic fraternal twins were born in Manhattan, New York, sometime 11AM (which would really make my birthday on February 24...interesting. I have two birthdays =)) which would make me technically 17 then? LAWLS :P )
So I celebrated the first few minutes of my sixteenth birthday by talking to Mark on the phone. We were on the phone even before, and he just kept going on and on and on, when I suddenly told him, "It's 12." Well technically, it was around 12:10, and I already got my first greeting from Julia. Then he sang to me. HE SANG! :"> Something I've been bugging him for a long time; he kept telling me that his throat hurt (which was probably true, because he was having on-off coughs)....and he risked his throat condition to sing me a birthday song. (I should have recorded it, really. It was so adorable.) For some really weird and unknown reason, I bawled my eyes out. I just love him so much, and even if he couldn't come for my actual birthday, he made me feel like he was really there on that special day. Did I mention that I love him? :D
In the morning, I went to school, naturally. It was just pretty much an average day, people greeting me whenever sasabihin ko na "BIRTHDAY KO! BATIIN NIYO KO!" or when people remembered. :P Overall it was a good day, nothing special really, but I was happy. Then I invited my classmates and batchmates to a get-together at home. Masaya naman! :D
The thing is, Justine and I are the infamous surprise planners in our barkada, meaning whenever it was anyone's birthday in our barkada, we plan the surprise. :D It started with me actually (I'm so generous, hahaha), when I planned a small sweet sixteen for her last year. It failed a little, because the element of surprise was lost (her mom wouldn't allow her to go out, and I had to tell her in front of Justine that we planned a surprise party for her), but it was all good. :) Since then, we made epic surprises for our friends. :))
My friends genuinely almost forgot about my birthday, so I wasn't expecting anything from them. I went home with few of my friends. I decided to change into a dress, particularly the little black dress Mark gave to me, but then the blemishes on my back were showing, so much as I hated to change out of it, I chose a different dress. Then I noticed that two of my friends were missing, but I didn't think too much of it when we went home. Then Chiquet led me out and.....tada! A fishball cart was outside our house! With a cartolina that read "Happy Birthday Sam and Nathan!" At first I didn't react that well, because it didn't really sink in me that they planned this....it was more like "Oh hey, there's a fishball cart in front of my house with a banner on it." Then when they said, "AYAN LANG ANG REACTION MO?! :|" then I stupidly remarked, "Ay, galing ba yan sa inyo?!" did it sink into me. :D YAY! I hugged them tightly and grinned. :D It's a little shallow, but my friends know my love for fishballs. :D
I had to remind everyone not to eat too much fishballs, because we had food inside the house. Then we had to blow our candles like little kids. :)) I was starting the birthday song by singing it myself, then my friends laughed at me because I seemed desperate. =)) My birthday candles were already lit and I had to wait for everyone to gather, and they were melting really fast. But at least I got to blow them in time. :P
DEVIL FACE FTW. =))
We had fun. :) We spent the hours hanging out in my and Jonathan's room, where a group of my guy friends did a video of Love Drunk, which was just really retarded, in a hilarious way. :P We also took some fun shots on my computer to kill time.
To everyone who greeted me on my birthday, thank you so much! :)
