what day is it today?

It's...

Kitty Kat's birthday! Heypi birthday Kitty Kat, ang remembrance ng T-party: SG edition.

I'm already 31. 

Ack.

But whatever, I do not feel 31 or 30 or 28 even. 

Peg ko lang si Taylor Swift- I'm feeling twenty-threeeee two....

In preparation of official onset of my fourth decade in this world, I got my nails did last Tuesday and a haircut yesterday. I wanted a short 'do but the stylists didn't want to do it. No one wants to cut my hair short. They all like my wavy 'do (parang naka-digital perm daw) and if I cut it short, like above the shoulder, mega-fly away daw ang eksena. Since they (should) know these things better than I do, I went with what they suggested. They also suggested that I use hair product to tame my tresses and since I'm in a gastusera mode yesterday, I gave in.

And oh, I also got myself an eye cream. Dapat labanan ang wrinkles ;) And hopefully, this hair product will do help tame my messy 'do. Sabi ni beki hairstylist, nasa uso naman ang messy na buhok. Hindi niya lang alam na nasa uso nako fifteen years ago pa at isa rin ako sa mga nagsimula ng no-comb revolution. Ano'ng paki niyo sa long hair ko?

So anyway, pre-birthday celeb yesterday with AD. She treated me to ramen for lunch yesterday at Santouka. It was okay. Not really a fan of ramen and I think I just reached my saturation point with katsu or maybe I was not feeling well yesterday. Dessert was at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. I had ice-blended Moroccan Mint Tea. Loved it. In my 31 years of existence, I found the secret to happiness~

True dat.

I go to Starbucks not for anything else but their mocha frap and when AD said she wants CBTL, I was a little sad because I never really liked any of their coffee. The only beverage I drink from there is caramel macchiato and I don't even like it that much. Just to cut the story short, I was delighted & surprised with their ice-blended Moroccan Mint Tea. Now I have an alternate to Starbucks' mocha frap :)

I really don't have expectations for this year. I didn't even have a countdown. And although birthdays tend to suck when one gets older because there are less gifts (ha!), I still get the best gifts a girl (girl?) could wish for- last year I got a Kindle from AB and this year, Juningning treated me to a Linkin Park concert and AD gave me shorts from Uniqlo and you know that shorts are one of my favorite things right now because they're the only ones that fit #MeanGirlsreference And oh, my nephews gave me Coke and chips for my birthday. That and unlimited singing of 'Happy Birthday.' Ano pa nga ba ang mahihingi ko?

May sagot ako diyan. Daddy's dinuguan and Pizza Hut Stuffed Crust Pizza. 

Kidding aside, thank You Lord for another year and I hope for many more awesome years to come. I've had my ups and downs but I could say that I'm happy where I am right now and there's nowhere to go but up. I wish for more projects to come, better health (fatty liver begone!) (and I wanna get off my meds! Metformin and pills are making me super sungit) and many more blessings. I hope I also finally get to go on that New York trip this year, before I turn 32, cos GG's been off TV for almost a year. Time is of the essence, people! But first, gotta get my ass to apply for a visa first. And here's hoping I get one. 

Happy birthday to me ♥
