the birthday post

so my family did drag me to church this morning. apparently, my birthday this year coincides with the Feast of the Holy Family, which falls on the first Sunday right after Christmas. namely, today.

btw, today is also david archuleta's 18th birthday - just thought you should all know he's now more or less legal. in certain areas. hahahaha. =)

anyway, day's been good. there's meatless spaghetti and mango-cashew cake from red ribbon and fruit salad and smoked bangus for dinner. endless greetings on facebook and an all-day-all-night sabaw musicfest over at blip.fm. can't thank you all enough for the greetings and well-wishes. ika nga ni tere, 24 is the new 16! agreed. hehe.

however, can i just say that aside from my brother's gift tag, the next best greeting came from an aunt:

text: happy birthday kate! you're a big girl/boy now. we love you!

PANALO ME OPTIONS EH. di ko sure kung dapat akong maghyperventilate or what. my cousins -- her sons -- dropped by to have snacks and play guitar hero. apparently tinanong na pala niya kahaon si mark (yung panganay) kung lesbyana ba raw ako. hence the textage perhaps. hallelujah.

and oh. i also got a haircut. i wish i could take a picture right now, but for some reason i feel like i shouldn't because i still look like one of ate vi's backup dancers in her SHYOWW ME THE PARTY video. not that i'm complaining. just a thought that's holding me back from camwhorage. hahaha. =)

and then thankfully the networks have allowed the girlfriend and i to communicate. thank you gods of smart and globe, btw. it was a ten minute phone call by my estimates. hay i want to continue being on vacation but i'm going crazy here. hahaha.
