it wasnt supposed to be an ordinary day. what the heck, it was my birthday! but nothing out of the ordinary happened. sheesh, talk about great monumental events taking place on your birthday…
it’s a wednesday. i haVE no classes on wednesdays. i was supposed to go to rpn9 for my internship but i had decided to give myself a break. sort of like a present to myself. (but i’ve been giving myself a break from internship for the past weeks now, that’s why i’d never get to finish my internship). so, anyway, i was just in my room, as usual. i woke up at the usual time that i wake up, around 8am. when i went down for breakfast, i thought that ‘monumental thing’ was gonna happen right then and there, because the badettes greeted me a happy birthday loud enough for the whole dormitory to hear. fortunately (or unfortunately, depends on how you look at it), HE was there. so, i was, like, expecting that he would greet me a happy birthday, too. but that ‘monumental event’ didn’t happen. so it was like, ‘yeah, right, asa pa joyce!’. i was even thinking that if he would greet me, then it we really are MFEO (meant for each other). like duh. again, ‘yeah right, asa pa joyce’.
so anyway, after breakfast, as usual, i’ve got nothing to do so i tried doing my thesis… but to no avail. text messages kept on coming. and, again, i was waiting for the text from another HIM. and, yes, it did arrive but with no impact. i mean, yes, there was a message, but it’s just an ordinary message with an abbreviated greeting at the end of the msg. he didnt even bother to personalize his greeting. talk about making effort.
at least some unexpected people greeted me on my birthday. but there were just some people who failed to remember you on your birthday. i mean, how hard is it to remember a friend’s birthday? i mean, it’s just one day out of 365, right? i’m not being bitter about it. i’m cool. it’s just heartbreaking. haha. no, really. it’s really fine. (im just planning on not greeting them on their bday!haha mean me!)
i had lunch, and then locked myself in my room whole day. i already had a gift from my parents. but what i really want was to spend my birthday with them. but i know that’s impossible. so, reality check joyce!
while i was waiting for the night to arrive, i was planning on where to treat my friends. and i decided to go back to where i celebrated my bday last year. at least, then, we had fun and we were filled. so i took them there.
we just ate. and went home. and went to sleep. that’s how ordinary my birthday was.
but thanks to my friends, they went out of their ways to make it extra special. i received a cake form them! woohoo! i’ve been wishing for a birthday cake for years now, ‘coz you see, i had no birthday cake for my last four birthdays here in UP. and now, here it is… my own birthday cake. given to me by the extra special people in my life right now. my friends…
<———— MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!
come to think of it, my day, BIRTHDAY, wasn’t that ordinary anymore…
if only my family were there. then, i could not ask for more.
