birthday thoughts

i like life. it's something to do.

the first thing i thought of when i woke up to my 2_ (hah!) year on earth is: i don't feel 2_ (hah! again) at all. i decided to date myself (i'm alright, thanks. a lifetime of singlehood has prepared me for this) as i usually do on birthdays. learned quite a few things:

1. there's such a thing on clothes as gusot mayaman (rich man's wrinkle, refers to clothes which even hell's flat irons would hate). yeah laught at me all you want, but i really thought it was a slang, until i saw three stalls selling clothes labeled that way.

2. computer applications develop articial intelligence (hmm more like emotions). want proof? whenever i take a day off from work, our computer systems mess up. i swear, it's because our SAP system misses me.

3. it's normal even if it doesn't feel like it, when none of your ex-es greet you.

4. if it's your birthday, you are entitled to treat yourself to two Starbucks drinks, a nice laptop bag, two shirts, and a movie. **snaps** and if you're planning to ask, yes i'm broke right now hehe

5. the weather's so hot here in manila that if sunlight is a currency, Filipinos would be gazillionaires.

6. sports suits/blazers are expensive in tropical countries. don't ask me why, but the basic law of supply and demand definitely didn't apply to the kenneth cole jacket i was eyeing. how much is it?--i'd have to work forever.

7. at twenty-_, i have so much to learn, and do, and feel, and aaargghhh let's just say, i can't wait to see my hundredth birthday candle blown.

and even if there's no one there to celebrate it with me, i know it will be alright ;-)
