If there`s one thing that I hate in the world, it is when things happen in the way that I didn`t expect it to.

A month ago, a friend told me that I was so lucky because my birthday fell on a holiday. I had so many plans and that included a get together with my high school friends. I was super duper excited to see them but surprisingly, a friend told me that she learned on the news that the holiday was moved to October 1. I was devastated because I wouldn`t be able to celebrate my day with my friends. What`s worse is that I wouldn`t be able to go home the weekend after my birthday because of school works. Damn it. I would be going home on October 10 pa :|

The weekend before my birthday, my sisters kept on telling me not to go to school anymore so that I could celebrate my birthday at home. I told them that I can`t afford to be absent because I have so many subjects on Tuesday and we will deliver our informative speech on a Wednesday.

Tuesday was an ordinary day for me except for the fact that I woke up with 38 messages in my inbox. I was so giddy when I was reading the midnight birthday greetings. I was taking a bath early in the morning when suddenly, I heard someone utter “Happy birthday, Carms!”. I asked her who she is but she just told me to open the door. When I opened the door, Asher was there standing right in front of me. I was so touched because she went all the way to Westbrook to greet me :>

I attended my classes and I was so frustrated because I could`ve been absent the whole day. We did nothing significant and I could`ve just stayed at home and spent my day with my family. There was nothing I could do anymore because everything`s too late. If only I listened to my sisters :/

After classes, I heard mass with Nins and JJ. Then Asher, JJ and Francis invited me to eat dinner :) We went to a diner which Lizette referred to us but instead of having dinner there, we had a funny experience.

Waiter: Ano pong order niyo?
Carms: Hmm. Beef with mushroom nalang.
Waitress: Ay. Ma`am! Wala po kaming mushroom e.
Carms: Ah. Okay. Sizzling sisig nalang.
Waiter: Wala na din po. Ubos na ehh.
Asher: Kuya, ako po porkchop supreme.
Waitress: Wala din po ng porkchop supreme ehh.
Waiter: Sir, kayo po anong order niyo?
Francis: Burger steak nalang.
Waiter: Sorry, sir. Wala po kasi kaming mushrooms.
Asher: Ay. Kuya, parang lahat wala. Sabihin mo nalang kung anong meron.

Hahaha. We decided to leave that diner and eat at Pizza Hut instead. It was humiliating because they asked for party hats and they kept on singing the Happy Birthday song out loud. I was surprised when we got the bill and they wouldn`t let me pay for what we ate. Awww. Sweet! :) I treated them for dessert at McDonald`s then we chatted and chatted and chatted. Then JJ & Francis brought me and Asher home. I slept at Asher`s apartment which is now my second home. Haha :))

The day was fun and okay. My inbox was bombarded with 104 birthday greetings :> I had the chance to talk to my mom, Kuya Miggy and Mara. My friends treated me for dinner and my loved ones made me feel so special. Everything was perfect. But that was just what I thought. While we were at Pizza Hut, I received a text message from my SPCM classmate saying that our informative speech activity was cancelled and moved on October 10. &^%$@!)*^ That simple message made me cry because of frustration. Duh. I wasn`t able to go home for my birthday because of that informative speech then he`ll just cancel it. Ugh. Then he moved it to the day when I`m already supposed to go home. Hay. College life is really killing me :(

But I can`t do anything with it anymore. I now leave everything to God. Naks! :)

Friends! Date me when I get baaaaaack! I need gallons of ice cream :>
