Birthday 2007
It’s my birthday again! Has it been really a year? I was hoping to celebrate in Bacolod this year but there are so many surprises this year .. a wedding, bapstisms and a work commitment that will end in December.
The last time I celebrated my birthday in the Philippines was in 1998 and it was not a good one. My "husband" didn’t come home from Iloilo. Ang wala huya! It was during the time of the marriage that was not (kay annulled!). Nabayaan kuno sang barko tapos gin patay pa ang cell. Hadlok man siya. Ka funny ah… those were the days.
This year, my birthday’s a HOLIDAY! I wanted to have a nice birthday celebration in Bacolod. Maybe with the boys from Bahay Pag-asa or the street kids or the girls from the Girls Home. Something more meaningful. Maybe next year.
Lately, my theme song has been "Pagbabalik" by Asin. I really miss home. Mapuli na ko ya this year.
Today in New York … I woke up so tired, wanting to sleep. I worked 7 days prior in Cooper Union (Office Assistant) and in Barnes & Noble @ The New York Law School (Cashier). I was helping my friend from BN Main Store days in her store. She’s manager. I love books and of course, availing the discount. But! The law books are so heavy. We also tend to stand the whole time. But it’s fun. This is only for 2 weeks.
Had a pre-birthday celebration in Serendipity with Meow and Jows. I had to have my own banana split this time. The wait was 1 hour and 1/2 … gin gutom kami and had dinner. Their cheddarburger with fries was delicious! Worth the wait. It seems like our favorite place this summer.
Tonight, we’re eating at Todai - the eat all you can Japanese restaurant. I miss their food.
Sharing pictures soon….
