27th Birthday!

My 27th birthday has come and go rather quietly…as I usually like for it to go. I’ve never really celebrated my birthday. It’s usually my friends who like to use it as an excuse and reason to go out and have fun and get drunk. But all that has slowed down since we’ve been out of college.
The day started with my friend Carlos, who I work with, IM-ed me to wish me a happy birthday. Then I get a call from Illenny. I felt a lil bad cuz I thought it was Eva…they both sound alike over the phone. But it’s always nice to hear from her. Then lunch came around. Scott was suppose to go to a lunch meeting but skipped and joined us for lunch when Carlos told him that it was my birthday. That was cool of him to do that. Over lunch, Chris found out. By the end of lunch, Elodie still claimed that I’m old…how sweet of her…hahaha. I am old now…at least I feel like it. Also during lunch, I receive a text message from Illenny again wishing me a happy birthday. Yeah…she really enjoys birthdays. I certainly don’t mind hearing from her. Always brings a smile to my face. Eva also called.
Before the work day was over, my cousin called. Lily also called me as well as emailing me. Then I found out that Carlos had sent an email out to a few ppl at work telling them it was my birthday so all afternoon ppl were coming by to wish me a happy birthday. Carlos really surprised me with all that he did for me. Then while I was having dinner with my parents, Alpa and Justin called. Pretty much everyone I wanted to hear from came through making my 27th birthday really special.
Despite my birthday falling on a Friday the 21st and having the entire weekend to celebrate, I just decided to stay low key this year. Saturday morning I met with Lily for Dim Sum and then went shopping with her at Memorial Mall. She had bought me a pair of cufflinks so I needed a shirt to go with it. Found a nice Perry Ellis shirt. At night I met up with Justin and Alpa to watch Monster House. They showed up 30 mins late…making me wait outside all that time for their slow asses. That’s the last time I ever do a movie with them. But it’s all good. The movie was pretty funny so no big deal. I’m sure if the movie sucked…I’d be pretty pissed having to wait that long for them. I tell you what…that was not a kids’ movie. Kids were crying in the theater... :(
So it was a good birthday. It was low key…just another day.
