[busy signaL]
[Sunday, June 15, 2003]
i celebrated my 18th birthday yesterday. it's kinda funny because it was the worst in recent memory. it was like murphy's law just replaced the philippine constitution.
in any case i was just thinking about birthdays in general. being anniversary-type events, they're like your loved ones saying "hey thanks for being around the past year blah blah blah" which is actually kinda touching. except for the fact that most of the people i'd assumed would greet me kinda didn't. gar.
i stayed up until 4am the night before doing my compro1 homework [a program to turn integers into roman numerals] thinking i'd sleep in anyway so might as well get it over with. but no. my dad woke me up at 730 because we were eating lunch at his friend's house to [oh the irony!] celebrate my birthday. why get me up so early? his friend lives in katipunan. oh, right.
we stayed there until lunch and were on our way back when my dad remembers this other friend of his whom he hasn't seen in 17 years. so naturally we had to pass by. problem was my dad couldn't remember exactly where she lived. third time was a charm and we were on our way [again] by 2pm.
i'd promised my friends i'd meet them in town by 3 so i had just enough time to check my mail before shoving off. my pc chose this precise moment to crash, taking microsoft office and all my mp3s with it. now of course it started to rain. i asked god why he hated me and he blessed me with a blackout on top of everything else.
my dad was kind enough to offer me a ride to town [after a few hundred pokes from my mom] so i got to powerbooks by 430. i said hi to saul and kris but *kris casts frozen orb*. anyway i apologized for being late and i suppose all's well that ends well.
after prayer meeting i was feeling better so i sat down with my family and a half-gallon of ice cream. my mom asked me what i was gonna do now that i was 18. i told her i'd watch a porn flick. cue kodak moment.
in hindsight i guess it wasn't all bad.
