The day after the storm
.It always rains on my birthday. Never fails to do so. They say it’s a blessing, a good sign, "grasya" in short. I say that if it rains to the point of flooding, I think it’s safe to call it "disgrasya". Good thing the floods here only reached the lot 3 houses away. Our street though was transformed into a huge parking lot as people waited for the flash floods to disappear.
Anyway, I celebrated my birthday the way I liked it. Simple and under the radar… I’m not fond of throwing big parties and celebrating with lots of people. I’d rather have a solemn celebration and spend my day slow and easy going.
I did spent my first half of the day working though as in my field, there is no day off, and when a customer purchases something, it’s a must to process it immediately. But that’s okey. I got to buy New York’s finest pizza (or at least that’s how Yellow Cab wants it to be known as) for a couple of friends and for home.
A first I did on my birthday was watch a movie. I have collected lots of movies on VCD which I’ve been buying everytime there’s a sale but haven’t even opened nor watch one. And since cable was down due to the heavy rains, I had the difficult choice of selecting either Episode 4,5,6, I-robot, Bourne Identity or Staying Alive. I must say, it boiled down to either Staying Alive or I-Robot…tough choice ! But since I don’t think I wanna be remembered by how old I am, I chose I-robot instead (Sorry John Travolta, I’ll see you on a regular day).
Anyway, to everybody who greeted me yesterday (friendster did play a big role this year in particular in exposing my birthday online which I’ve tried to keep secret ever since I’ve been an internet user way back in 1996), thanks for remembering me. Wish me another year of blessings, success and good health ahead guys !
