try-ing seventeenwhee. i'm actually a year older! funny, i don't feel any older. hahahaha. but then, when i think about it, from my birthday last year, lots of things have already changed. damn. makes me wonder about how different things will be 364 days from now. wow.
anyway, when it's your birthday, tradition dictates that people WILL give you gifts. though that's not always the case, and even though you don't really wanna expect something, there's always something inside of you [even if it remains inside of you] that says "today is YOUR day. everyone will love you today. you will be getting lots of presents today. just for today, you are immortal." wow. weird huh? that's my seven-year old evil self talking. and so, i didnt really ask for anything from anyone because the gifts didn't really matter to me. what mattered to me was the fact that i survived another year and i'm allowed to celebrate it with the people i love.......
ah fuck it, i wish i had more gifts! hahahaha. nah, kidding. [seriously. i was kidding.... not. {yeah, i was actually kidding. hehehe. kulit.}]
i remember last year, the only things i asked were a surprise party [i've never had one until last year] and for the internet at our place to be up and running efficiently. now, as simple as these may be, i still believe that these things were so much better than the cars and travel trips and gadgets guys my age would ask for [my sub-consciousness:
"yeah, you're just saying that cuz you've never received cars, travel trips nor gadgets!" *j attacks his sub-consciousness, pins him, strangles him, and kills him*]. but hey, the smaller you dream, the easier it is to achieve! and so, as it went, i got i wanted last year! hahahaha.
[mutter] stupid sub-conscious-self-know-it-all [/mutter]this year, i didn't ask for anything. sure, i'd cough every now and then, and my cough would somehow distinctly resemble the word "i-pod" but hey, i wasn't all intense about it. what did i get? i got the best things. i got to spend some time with my mom in the morning in megamall. we went and prayed in the chapel there and bought some stuff for the birthday sleepover thingie later on. and she even got me a couple of dvd's even though she loathes it whenever i sit on my ass at home with an emerging beer belly, a five o'clock shadow, and chips and coke everwhere while i watch useless cartoon re-runs or movies i've watched over and over again. awwww. now that's love. i got a nice little personally-made bead bracelet from my classmate, which i have uninstinctively worn since he'd given it. [yeah, its's gay] i got an expensive perfume from greg... yeah, uh, well....... that's greg eh. hahahahaha. hmmm, i got an unexpected call that just brightened up my day [and days to come even] and put stars in my eyes all night. yay. hahaha. and best of all, i got to eat, drink and be merry with my friends all night [not to mention, be uber emo and sentimental about present problems and past experiences] maybe for one last time., before college parts us all. wah.
paradise is not a place that you look for. it's a moment when you know that you're part of something really great and your whole life, no matter how shitty it is, is worth living and enjoying to the fullest. and when you find that moment, it sticks and lasts forever.
paradise is a birthday.
anyway, i wanted sooooo much to get drunk and be super wasted last night. but, after about 7 san migs and half a liter of red horse, all i got was a very, very slightly disoriented balance and a somewhat churning stomach. i didn't feel any different. doesn't really qualify as "bangag" so, i was actually slightly disappointed. hahahaha. anyway, here's a list of birthday resolutions or better, things to do as a 17 year old.
things to do as a 17-year old1) drive, drive and drive. [i need food from jollibee down the street, i bring the car out, blast up the radio, fill it up with gas, go around in circles in the municipal hall area for two hours, then remember that there was actually food at home to begin with. i go home and realize that the food at home is rotteing and cold. the process repeats.]
2) regularly watch r-18 movies just for the sake of feeling proud and making fun of the movie ticket seller for thinking i'm one year older
3) countdown to how many days are left before i'm legal enough to be in a porn movie and to how many days are left until the no.2 thing expires and becomes stupid [364 days and counting...] wow, so soon! hahahahaha.
4) be more mature [oh, yeah right. this is going well.]
5) travel to a foreign land alone. [this is pending]
6) realize that i have two more numbers left for teenage life
7) ah, nga pala, go to college din pala. hahaha
anyway, it's a stupid list. hahaha.
