23

I had my first birthday in US days ago. I didn't really do anything special on that day as there was nothing really for me to celebrate about. I don't believe in birthday and I always think that I have only one birthday in my entire life, which was the exact day I was born 23 years ago. Besides, after moving to Santa Ana, I have been really busy. Working and having my master study at the same time, kind of exciting huh?! Yeah...0_o. After getting off from work I gotta work on my assignments and journals. So, the result- I never get chance to have a good sleep and do my own stuff. I am always in a state of exhaustion.

Though, my silly friend, Protocol always remember that. She insisted that we should go out and do something fun. So, we went to 'The block', watched a movie, had some shopping, had some drink and then late night dinner. It's just regular, but I enjoyed every moment. I couldn't explain that, just it's really nice to have a good friend who insisted on celebrating your birthday. She bought me a purse, a ring and a cute skirt. In returning her kindness, I gave her a kiss. MUAKS. Protocol, my life will defnitely incomplete without you. Love you.

Then I have a surprise. A friend from West Virginia sent me a gift. When I picked up the parcel at the post office, I thought that it's going to be something general. But, who knows? I got a REAL surprise! When I opened the parcel, I found one stuff animal inside, that was a guinea pig! OH MY GOSH! It looks exactly the same to my previos pet, 'Piggy'. Thanks Will, I appreciate that, a lot. Thank you! Thanls for being so sweet, thoughtful and always be there for me. That's the best present ever! Thanks. All the best to you. :P

MY Piggy! Yeah! This piggy will stay with me forever! Awesome.

So, what now? hmm.. I am 23 years old right now. How time flies, I couldn't believe it. I am getting older and older, it's kinda depressing. Though, like what Protocol said, "We don't have to feel bad for gettig older, as we are doing something meaningful in life and we have learn and experienced so much if compare to others..."

That's true... I am happy of who I am. I love my life at the moment, it allows me to really try something different and I have freedom to do whatever I want. Life's in our hand. I think in some way, if you really try your best, you can have some control on it.

So, sweet 23! Yeah! My life ahead will get better!
