I turned 17 almost a month ago. It was my first time to celebrate my birthday without my family nor my closest circle of bitches. It was also a first to celebrate it in college, where my environment is filled with new people I got to only get along with few months ago. Though I appreciate greets @ exactly 12 midnight, it really touches me when someone, especially those that I rarely hangout with now, greets me in advance. For me, it means that they remembered me before Facebook notifies them that it’s my day, before they see a series of greetings on my Facebook profile page or wherever and simply go with the flow by greeting me. I talked to the boyfriend until midnight and afterwards, we slept since there’s still a long day the next morning.

I woke up with Patricia saying that there’s no water in the dorm. Lol of course I was alarmed, what a timing, I thought. Good thing there’s a tolerable amount of water available on the fourth floor, enough for us to take a shower. We then had breakfast, dormmates started to greet me. Flowing text messages also pops out on my phone every now and then. As I entered my first class, my batchmates started singing a happy birthday to me. Of course, I can’t help but blush hahaha. We had N1 class, and yes a quiz, that morning. Lunchtime came and I treated my girlfriends Pat & Sheen to Aristocrat. We were so full, it was a day where we don’t have to eat at McDo! :> Kyle visited me just in time before my SocSci class, so he had to wait until my break time till we get to be together. I again treated the girlfriends to a Serenitea fix during the break (mama said so lol) where there I meet Kyle and decided to skip Math class so we can go out together. He gifted me the shirts I want plus we went to Blue Magic where we bought another stuffed dog. Afterwards, we hung around the mall, played @Timezone (where we had a 3-1 playing Air Hockey, in favor of me hihi) and watched Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. Some high school friends called me in the middle of the movie, and some of them were surprised that Kyle and I are still this strong haha. Went home around 7:30 in the evening, where I had my candle blowing I celebrated with my dormmates Pat, Issa, Hya, Kashmer and Jolani. The cake’s sponsored by Pat via Tita Patette, btw. :> 

A birthday celebrated without my family is not that lonely as I expected it to be, since Kyle’s there, Pat’s there, and most of my college friends have come to the rescue and made my day. The super plus part is, my momma visited me the day after, where we had a shopping galore for the whole day. It’s not that bad to turn a year older after all. In fact, I’m seventeen and very happy (:

PS. Birthday pictures to follow, I’m so lazy to transfer photos from the cam. Gosh, I’m such a sloth.
