I had a long day
yesterday so I woke up today still a bit sleepy. But it’s my birthday so I was psyche-ing
myself to be up and about because this is a special day. Surprisingly, this year, I didn’t have
birthday blues to speak of. Despite the
lack in some aspects, I have reached
this age (I sound like a middle-aged person) without experiencing any major
setback in life and for that, I am utterly grateful.
Birthday greetings
came in via email, whatsapp, facebook and yes, text message which was quite
nostalgic J
At work, the two
guys asked me if we could have lunch early today and since I was hungry, I said
yes. So we had lunch at 11am. We sat at the staff area, chatting while
eating. After finishing our meal, they
brought out what was in the plastic bag that they were carrying: a bottle of
wine and a cake! And since there was no
knife in the canteen, I used Jakob’s “balisong” to cut my cake! Hilarious!
So we stayed at
the canteen until about 1230, drinking wine and eating cake. I don’t know if
alcohol consumption is allowed in the university but we didn’t mind. Some people who were passing by were smiling
at the sight of the wine on the table but I guess the cake obviously explained
what was happening.
In the afternoon,
I had my greetings from Kulasa and Bugoy.
Kulasa sang so softly in contrast to Bugoy’s screaming singing.
At about 4, we
went to the staff lounge to chill.
Theresa wasn’t able to join us for lunch so we had coffee with her
instead.
Went home before 6
to prepare the lumpia for dinner.
Dinner was spent
with sister and some friends. My sister organized games to complete the
fun. The last of the guests left at 12. And we
stayed up for tea and cake.
It was a looong
and happy day.
