Life's not so bad after all...



Yup...not bad at all. Just the other day I was wallowing in self pity because my B-day was rather sad. But it so happened that I got a surprise birthday party by the people here. Sweet of them, isn't it!

They got me two slices of cherry topped, blueberry-layered cake, with 6 to 7 boxes of pizza's and french fries and garlic bread and soft drinks. Then we all shared the food for lunch! And I had no clue...it doesn't matter that they were one day late...It was so sweet of them, considering that I don't really know all of them very well. It really made my day!

By the way, did I mention that I watched "Balls of Fury" on my Birthday? Well, I thought since there wasn't any particular highlight on my 'special' day, i might as well make one. Hence, watching a comedy appealed to me. The movie, as it turned out...was more like a "silly-'b-rated'" comedy, though it was sort of entertaining.

Here's a list of movies that I can't wait to watch:

1) Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium
2) Enchanted
3) National Treasure 2
4) The Golden Compass

So long for now...

Sad B-day....



It's been a long time since I last blogged!
Today is my birthday...And it doesn't feel any more special than yesterday. I mean, shouldn't you feel a bit...just a bit special on your birthday?

It doesn't help that I am in a totally different place/ town. My family is not here and I am sort of alone. I don't really know these people here and they don't really know me. So naturally they don't know it's my birthday. But it's sort of weird that the day passes by like every other day. Yeah, of course it is just another day but...

My past birthdays, I was surrounded by people who knew me; my family and friends. They made the day feel a bit different. These people here are nice people but I haven't really known them for long. Not long enough for me to swallow my shy countenance and scream, "It's my BIRTHDAYYYYY!!!!".

Nope, that's not me! Even if I knew them well, I wouldn't shout out the announcement. It's just not in me. Anyways, let's me wallow a bit in self-pity...just for today... and sing myself a Birthday song!

Hey, but then again, I had family members and friends calling and singing birthday wishes on the phone, while others sms-ed their B-day wishes to me! So I guess it isn't so bad after all!
