When boredom strikes and you’ve got a webcam in hand, all you can do is strike a pose. - 1/21, edited with Camerabag

I officially turned 18 last Friday (January 20). At the stroke of midnight, mom texted me this tear-jerking message which was followed by a phone call from her in the afternoon. The day before that, I treated my college friends to Chowking because we all wanted something cheap and something Chinese. So off to Midtown (our favorite mall lol) and feasted on Chowking before burning off calories at Timezone. 

When I got to school, I was immediately greeted by friends in person and text. I was very happy when Kath, Khar, and Chini texted me happy birthday that day since I haven’t seen them since March (Kath and Khar) and June (Chini) although I kept in touch with them with FB chat. At lunchtime, my friends and I hung out at 7-Eleven for lunch then some secret place where we could rest. At dismissal time, dad picked me up and we went to SM Mall of Asia to have dinner at Shakey’s. 

For dinner, we had chicken and chips, carbonara, and Friday Special (my personal favorite pizza in Shakey’s!). Following the very huge dinner, we bought treats for my grandparents, and walked around the mall. At 9PM, we went home and I immediately climbed into my bed because I was so tired since we have CWTS the next day. 

Last Saturday was CWTS day in Caloocan. The subsequent day was Dad’s last day in Manila before returning to Singapore. Dad, uncle Dilts, and I went to SM Dasma to do a little shopping. I even got to buy two new books, namely Pretties and The Fairest of Them All at Booksale. At dinnertime, my cousins came at my grandparents’ house and we ate together. The following morning at around 4AM, we fetched Dad to NAIA. At 5:30, I was back at Manila. 

To all those who greeted via text, in person, FB, Twitter and Tumblr, thank you very much for making my 18th birthday special! <3
