I am...

.. one happy girl these days.

23

Yesterday it was my birthday. Woke up at the regular 6 o'clock, and found my three roomies in the kitchen, shouting out a birthday song, next to the biggest morning table I have ever seen. Was so surprised, happy and overwhelmed that I started crying, and walked to my room again. They had all been up since 5, to get ready, bake bread and decorate. One of the sweetest things ever been done to me.
Later I had my favorite couple over for 'lagkage' and tea.

In the midst of all of this, I am trying to forget that 23 is such a bad number. 2+3 = 5. I am an uneven number. For a whole year!!

Raindrops

I have made a mobile.
(and I am very proud.)

That weekend...

I pretend that spring is just around the corner.

Two week list

I am so bad at this 2012 thing. Or maybe I am too good. I enjoy myself so much, that I forget to write it all down. It's been almost 2 weeks now, and this is what a list would look like:
- been out wining and dining with L, at Tony's.
- sneaked upstairs to get a look at the new flats (with rooftop terraces!!).
- have seen Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, with M. Laughed my way through illness and headache.
- ate Chinese with S, in a freezing cold corner of the restaurant.
- walked and talked with AK. So glad to have her here.
- had tea and cookies with L, T and Ch. Been years since last. Was awesome!
- enjoyed work, even though we are super busy these days.
- met my grandparents new dog. Oscar. Still don't care for dogs.
- listened to this song. (Promise me you will watch the beautiful beautiful music video)

Findings of all sorts

Today I have said goodbye to I, who is going to Kenya for 6 months. Yesterday I realized that she is by far the coolest friend I have. Wish I had her courage.

This past week I have been dancing to Justin Bieber, and have heard myself say "I'm gonna go home and start my own band, with me being the band!" (and really mean it)
Needles to say I was quite drunk at both occations. And the thing is, when I am drunk I believe that I am the coolest person I know. Good thing I have friends that stick around anyway...

The return of creativity

Have taken up some of my little creative projects again. I feel privileged to have the time to do so. (The real art though, is to finish one of these projects...)
