24 Gifts

I spent my birthday at home, in bed. There was no big celebration. For dinner, we had homemade spaghetti and pizza and KFC chicken. No ice cream, no cake. It was all fine with me. I didn't have any plans that day, except to take a leave from work. Jeff called the day before and asked me what I'll be doing on my birthday. He said it was a waste not to have any celebrations. I just said I didn't feel like doing anything spectacular anyway. Hehe, I didn't even feel like I'm 24 years old anyway.

I went to mass and got a special blessing. I got text messages from people and 2 people called me. I also got posts from Facebook and YM. It was a typical day away from work for me. For me, all that mattered was that I have all the people I love with me when I spend my birthday.

Since I'm nearing my silver year (quarter life crisis???), I've decided to make a list of my 24 gifts. The theme here is materialism and selfishness.. in a good way. =p I do hope I accomplish or receive them before I turn 25. Some of them were already granted (yey!).

6. Ken Follett novels I don't have yet (Night over water, Lay down with Lions, A Dangerous Fortune, Triple, The Man from St. Petersburg, Whiteout, A place called Freedom)
7. Satin pumps
8. A special someone (not necessarily a boyfriend.. but a guy who's more than a friend)
9. A spankin' new PC.. custom built with all the software and 2TB of space for photos and videos
