There’s no other way of saying this so I’ll just say it straight out. It was and still is my birthdays today. You know, the day people celebrate their day of birth. Well for me it’s my sixteenth year. It actually got me worried a bit because it’s so old compared to the rest of the grade. I know that I can get my L’s now but you know. It’s still that OLD feeling. Yeah?
At 5.30 I’m awake and I can’t get back to sleep which had been quite usual for me lately. I stay in my warm and comfy bed. A few minutes later, the first of many text messages is sent to my phone and I’m just wondering who would send me a text message this early in the morning It was from Ate greeting me Happy Birthday, already but then again Kuya goes to work at 6 so yeah. I decided to get up and have a shower there was no point staying in bed doing nothing.
Mum woke up while I was drying my hair and she comes up to me, hugs me then greets me and makes a joke about how old I am now. It was nice. I also manage to wake Sunshine up before when I had to get my towel outside and she was sleeping on the sofa. Hmmmmm, rather odd. Really all I was worried about right now was how my hair looked and if you had times me you could say that it took me at least an hour to get ready. I guess it did look like nice, as many people had complimented me about it.
My first present for the day was from Alyssa. She’d given me a handmade card which did take effort (but I could have done way better, even if it was just last minute) and a lollipop shaped lip-gloss which I appreciated because she took the time to actually buy me a present even though I would have rather preferred a mirror or a beanie, but it’s all good. Walking to the bus stop me and Alyssa were just arguing as usual and I was telling her how much better my hair is compared to hers and all that stuff. My hands and legs were freezing. Not my fault that I didn’t have any more stockings in the drawer. The bus came. As I got on, Aimee was the first one to greet me then a random year 11. Katrina, Kelsey and Sara soon greeted me afterwards. They’re really nice to me and that’s why I just love them.
The bus arrived at school and that’s when Katrina became happy because she’d found out that one of the year 11 chicks had the library books which she’d forgotten on the bus one day and seeing her happy and all good helped my day. As we were walking to Roll Call we saw Vinori who had half her hair out which looked nice. She was complaining that it didn’t look nice but I don’t know why she would do that. We said bye to Katrina then walked up the library.
Walking through the library doors I see Emma come up to me and hand me a rose, then she bursts into ‘Happy Birthday!’ and I just got, well not embarrassed but I’m not a big fan of attention but I just said thanks to everyone because I didn’t exactly want to be rude. Everyone greeted me happy birthday and then we just looked through the photos of the athletics carnival. The bell rang after a long while, but it was a good thing the day was going slow because now that I think about it it’s going too fast for me.
My first subject as a 16 year old was commerce. Well technically it wouldn’t be until 9.46am (which again was still wrong because it wasn’t Australia time). That’s what I told Jasmine anyway so that’s why they didn’t sing Happy Birthday for me until then. Time passed. I thought for sure that no one would be game enough and then I wasn’t so worried after that. During this class everyone had managed to greet me Happy Birthday and PJ gave me the present which I told her not to get and it was one of those solar powered nodding cellphone holders and I just thought that it was so Cuteee. Class was so boring and I just couldn’t get my head in the mood to be in Commerce. 9.46, hahah, no one sung and I thought, Phew, I’m safe. Then all of a sudden I hear Suling start singing then everyone else sings along with her and I just sink into my seat which is normal for me because I can’t sit still. Oh well, another song wouldn’t hurt. The rest of the lesson was still boring but what could I do. I wasn’t going to be allowed to stay home anyway so I just put up with it.
Recess we went to where Shirine and all the curries sit. There I got greeted with more Happy Birthdays. Like people come on, I know that it’s my birthday, no need to remind me again. I’m kidding and appreciate that everyone actually does care about me which is especially nice. Anyways Shirine, far out, she bought me lollies. I think it’s like an evil plot to make me fat, but how could I be angry at her. I love lollies and her evil plot included my weak spot. I gave her a hug. That was the worst thing I could do. Afterwards Jasmine had to speak to Fiona so I went with her to the rest of the group and there I was greeted and hugged and it felt good. It actually did. And Ivy liked my hair. Uhm, I think heaps of people did. I don’t know why. It was meant to make me younger but Ivy had said it makes me look older which meant that my plan backfired. It was funny though because Fiona was really worried about stuff (stuff which wasn’t even true, so I don’t know why she was worried when I had already told her the real thing, and it was the worst thing I could do to) but yeh. Lucky for her the bell rang and we were off to class.
Italiano era diverto? Hmmm, it’s meant to say Italian was fun but I’m stupid and don’t know how to say it and that’s a false statement too because it was actually boring. I got another song and Sukhman was sitting next to me doing his annoying/funny things and me being his sister just going along with it. Halfway through the lesson Pipio comes up to me and pulls my ears 16 times because she says its meant to be good luck and I’m jst like WTF? Seriously and that’s when I got more punches. Sukhman’s ones hurted but Mind over Matter. LMAO. It was boring but not because we were revising for exams but our table was just talking and Hoorah for us because we got in trouble LOL. Ok, that was just stupid but meh, its me. BRRRIING!
Quickly time is passing and soon it was third period and that’s when we had maths. Things occurred and you know you can’t put it up publicly especially if it’s not your story. Let’s just say someone was very teary but that was just for a little while. Anyways maths was just revising SINE and COSINE rule then Mr. Cantlon felt like telling stories and that’s what the lesson turned out to be. Woohoo. The first story was about Sydney Heads and Captain Cook. Then if you got the answer right you were included as part of the crew. The next story was about The Gap. There was a story once that this guy was outsmarting people and his chauffer’s girlfriend found out. He told the chauffer to get rid of her so what he did was throw her off the gap. It was obvious that it was done on purpose because, actually I might draw a diagram for this one. PICTURE 1. The last of the stories was off this guy who was in a Kayak going from Tasmania and he was going to Auckland or somewhere there. His Kayak was no ordinary Kayak because it’s a convertible Kayak. Picture 2. Anyways the journey takes 30 days right and on the 29th day he’s so tired that he sends and SOS call and when they find him he’s been drowned and he was already so close. Anyways, it was funny because Mr. Cantlon made it funny but then again it was really sad because you know it’s all about death. And that was our maths lesson. Quite exciting, don’t you think?
Wow this day is really long because at lunch time it was just random. Lunch time was talking to Jasmine, Ivy, Emma, Anavi, Julina and Sumeet. About the most random stuffs such as What if someones steals our bags, who’s gonna run and get it? And more stuff like that. Just before that Lara, Pat and Mahir look for uhm thing and that meant to I had to do some research kinda thing because something wasn’t right. Anyways when Fiona gets back (LOL im listening to that song, coincidence?) we full have a convo about it and tell her that it’s all just a joke and that she souldn’t worry about anything and yeah. She needs to relax. Like seriously.
I’m getting lazy now.
Uhm, English was quiet just doing school ceritificate papers and finishing off the thesis. Uhm, yet it was over sooner than I thought. Then after school I met Jasmine and Himmat and we walked/ran to the station to get my birthday present, pink speakers, YEAH. They’re heaps good and the knob is actually quite good. Picture 4 & 5. HAHAH. Anyways I’ve put up pictures of it and also the book which I got and it’s so cute. Like their chimpanzees and comparing them to humans and how we’re alike. Picture 5, 6 & 7. I went to the station and heaps of people were there too and like greeted me. It was all good and people were obsessed with my cheeks. LOL, are they really that good.
It was really funny how at St Marys Station, Alyssa was like ate, why is Jasmine, Sumeet? And i'm just like. WHAT ?! And she's like you know on my phone contacts. I called Jasmine G and Sumeet answered and I'm just like, er. Why'd you call Sumeet and she's like I wasn't i was calling Jasmine cause you wouldnt answer your phone and why is Sumeet Jasmine G Buddy anyways. And i'm like that's because it stands for Jasmine's GAY buddy. HAHHAHA. I didn't think she would be so stupid not to realise that so now i have to change it and fix it. And the funny thing was she actually called him and he answered and they full had a convo which i found rather odd.
I got home and just relaxed because that's all that i felt like doing and i was just tired. It's been a really good and hectic day and i've enjoyed every bit of it so it's been good. For dinner it was just a typical Filipino dinner that you would have when it's someone's birthday and i liked it. Afterwards tita mayet and uncle peter came and we had cake and truffle. Then when they left papa started watching Race to Witch Mountain. I actually wanted to watch it. I was lying down next to him. Then i woke up I saw the credits and I was just like er... While that had happened mum was talking to our family in philippines and I miss them a lot and they cooked this food for me and showed me on webcam and I'm just like dayum ! I want some, too bad i'm here. Hmmm. So anyways right after Witch Mountain i just went to my room and had an early night.
Presents which i received: the awesome chimpanzee book which is really touching and makes me smile (i think i'll use that book to make me happy whenever i feel sad, because i know it'll remind me of my monkey friends, HAHAH) money (just enough), PINK iPod Speakers, phone holder with a nodding head asian thing (which is just so cute), lipgloss, lollies etc... Thank you everyone. And thanks for making my Sweet 16th sweet. Get it? Lollies, their sweet?. HAHAH, dw.
Thanks EVERYONE, I really enjoyed it ! :D
