drama queen: how i spent my silver

2 days ago, I became 25 years old.

I was still sleepy when my mother and sister greeted me a happy birthday last April 25. It was about 6 to 7 in the morning and they were getting ready to leave the house. Uhmm, hello? Where are you going guys? Apparently, their world need not stop just because I happen to have my birthday that day. So in the morning of my 25th year on earth, I was alone in the house. I opened my FB account and started changing my profile picture. Pleased that there are actually those who respond to birthday notifications, I started replying to posts greeting me to have a wonderful day. Then I logged out and looked for food to eat. Boy, was I glad to buy that chicken from "Chooks-to-go"! Because of it, I did not need to buy or cook breakfast anymore. I just turned on  the oven toaster my sister bought, plugged in the rice cooker and in 3 minutes, I had my breakfast done. I bought a liter of Coke and Mang Tomas Sarsa to make my meal a little less plain and did not forget to share the rest with my faithful dogs.

Then I cleaned the house.

What a great birthday!! I loved the cleaning part actually. It took my mind off things.

In the afternoon, I went to my friends' boarding house which will have me as a boarder as well this Thursday evening. I say that I enjoyed their company. I also did not notice the time while I was with them. I got a little dizzy though. Nothing, I was not able to handle.

In the evening, I met up with my mom and sister. My other sis is in Cebu. She already sent her greeting through FB and text. I was grateful about that.  My father, well, I did not hear anything from him until the next day. I sent him a message first. Then he greeted me a belated happy birthday. I accused him of forgetting. He denied. I did not believe him, of course. But let's not dwell on that.

Back to mom and sis..

We had a simple dinner in Chicken House (I love chicken). I was sorry I was not able to treat them in a more expensive restaurant ( I'm on a tight budget..huhu). I wish, someday, I will be able to bring them there, anywhere they like..

We went home right after. I then slept. 

That was how April 25 was spent. So simple. So ordinary. So calm. So relaxed. So contented.

I was happy that I got to be with people I love.  

I was happy. It was a happy silver birthday.
