Cards and Tards in Mental Wards


IMGP1766
The bday girl would like to remind you
that a greeting is much a gift as something you write or give me.

I like getting cards
And I like getting anything written.
Cards are my favorite part of birthdays.

Kinda disappointed, this year. I was looking forward to reading another one of my mother’s annual cards. They’re always very well written, as expected from a writer. And they’re always very insightful, as expected from a mother—my mother.

Well they did buy me a laptop. Though I was hoping to read a card when I get up from bed. :/

Did you know that I didn’t receive ANY kind of card this year?

It was kind of a school thing to have a card passed around the class for everyone to sign on and write their message. My birthday was on the day of an exam. But even on the day after, or the day before, it’s been a few days now. I have no card.

That’s why I went ecstatic when I read Shakti’s message. ^_^ Always a fun thing.

Though Xela and Nona were in charge of making cards, they…didn’t. ;A;

IMGP1750 Well Xel is celebrating it, THAT she is.

Lol.

This is actually from the chorale elocution competition. From our speech choir. RIGHT after we performed, we all headed to the ice cream place. We haven’t eaten anything cold in WEEKS. And now it’s time for pay back.

The cover for the ice cream cone… yeah, that’s the thing on Xela’s head. Lol.

Oh right! SIGABO! That’s a frikload of fun

From the far left is my teacher in Filipino class, who is also the animator for the school’s Theatre troupe, and our trainer and choreographer.

To the right, the boy with glasses, is my hubby! 8D Yay hubbs. Lol. He’s one of my writers. He is “as reliable as a husband”. REALLY punctual when it comes to submissions. And always follows up on work. He’s always with ‘Wifey’, who IS a boy, another of my writers, and who “nags and complains like a housewife”.

I have no picture of Wifey. :/

Anyhow, the day after that, we had a dinner party with the family.IMGP1797

Finally got ourselves to try that restaurant called Chef’s Quarters at the Atrium. Lol. Dad didn’t like it, because it wasn’t FILIPINO. I’ll agree with him, though. I think Filipino cuisine is the awesome-est.

And, ohnoezmigash, not Ate Aleth as well!
Don’t eat Ate Hershey’s shoulderrrrr. D: I know it’s fugly, but it doesn't deserve to be eaten. You’ll only get a stomach ache

Or would get you drunk.

Cheers.

Let’s drink on the night of a child’s sweet sixteen. ;)

While she has ice cream. :’> I love ice cream. I’m such a child
I don’t intend on growing up, really.

HAAAGEN DAAAAZS

And, yeah. So I’m wearing a little black dress and a white-gold bracelet. Yes, my styles will change, but I’ll always love the same things. Let’s face it. Ice cream is immortal.

IMGP1801

You can hold on to your glass.

I’ll just have lobster soup.

btw, the photos that Gabs gave me were perfect for wallpapers.

REALLY liked the one that reminded me of raspberry rapture ice cream from FIC (fruits in icecream)
And the one with the moon on the very side. ;)

I’m such a nut. =P

So many things to say! In random order:

"Better than me at almost anything." What are you talking about?

Who's the one who got the honor roll in school?
Who's the one who kept up that winning streak, even as she was stricken with brain clots and hallucinations, while the doctors were still scrambling to find a cure?
Who was missing from school for a full quarter, STILL got stellar results, and got half the faculty in a tizzy 'cos they weren't sure if you were eligible for a scholarship(or honor roll? or something like that) ?
Who needed a lawyer to wrangle your case for you amid the ensuing chaos?
Who stays up almost every night till 5, bogged down with assignments and all, and through perhaps a God-given feat of endurance manages to finish up everything the next day? While I am struggling with comparatively mundane chemistry?

Tell me, who is the superhuman here?

And you actually have a team of writers around you. A team! Of writers! While everyone here is more concerned with studying or looking good or pimping their rides, you have peers who are.....writers! @_@

As for the rest... you know I wouldn't be so accommodating if you were the one frustrated. And even if you're compassionate for selfish means, the outward expression is still considered as "care" and thus, appreciated. =)

Awesomely awesome Mmi~

Well on one part, I'm supposed to be the editor here, yet, you're better at writing. You're better than me when it comes to music as well... You're better than me at photography. You're better than me at being an incredibly entertaining companion in conversation. :/ You're better at drawing, lettering, designing stuff, taking photographs...You're better than me at anything, really.

I guess you can say that you're better than me when it comes to relaxing, as well.

Better at me when it comes to thinking straight...

And possibly even sideways, I wouldn't be certain.

And it's more like I'm the less fortunate one here, that's why I always have to give the extra effort to clean up the mess.

Ah, I wanna try to get back to the habit of staying awake all night. There are plenty of things that I need to do this week, and I really hope that I wouldn't fall asleep so early in the evening.

Well how can I run a publication without a team of writers?! XD

I'm quite selfish when it comes to good friends. ^^;

Aw, you're welcome.
