So my birthday has finally come and gone. I turned 23 on the 23rd. And ever since I realized I would have a day where my age and birth date would be the same, I decided to make that year special. Especially when I compared it to my friends whose age/birth dates had already passed. I figured I'd be old enough to do what I wanted.
My actual birthday wasn't super eventful, but it wasn't a letdown like last year. So that was the first thing I needed to accomplish. I was still in Las Vegas, but I wasn't working all day. Our office was at a lounge and when it turned midnight, all the girls came up from behind singing happy birthday with a little cupcake and candle in hand. I loved it! It was really cute and we took a bunch of pictures. In the morning, I got to finally sleep in after days of sleeping late and waking up early. I slept in so much that I only had time to get ready and get to the airport. My mom wanted to eat lunch, but oops. My flight back home and quick and Kelly picked me up from the airport. I only had a short time before I had to leave again for my birthday dinner at BJ's. Kelly, Cookie, Alberto and Benji came! (George had work, Amanda fell asleep and she was Jun's ride). It was a nice, chill dinner with lots of laughing. I was so tired though.
The next day, I met up with Kelly and Amanda at Tea Station just to hang out. After I texted Rafael, they invited us over to chill and play beer pong. They said they would celebrate my birthday but I was fine with just hanging out and not getting blamed for not drinking during beer pong. But everyone did tell me happy birthday and that made me happy. Me and Kelly stayed until about 4am. Yeah...we weren't going to be at Disneyland very early.
I tried waking up early on Saturday, I really did. But I was just too tired that I kept falling back asleep. I finally forced myself to get up and get ready. Me and George finally got to the Disneyland Hotel around 2pm so it was perfect for check-in time since our room was ready! We met up with everyone for lunch at Tangaroa Terrace. Then we went to DCA and rode Mickey's Fun Wheel! It wasn't as scary as I remembered (probably because we didn't even make a full round), but it was fun screaming with everyone and laughing at Jun's frightened face. It was a really fun day. And I think I looked pretty freaking adorable! hahaha! I had a dinner date with Georgie at the Carthay Circle Restaurant. It was definitely different. Everything on the menu was unique and it was hard to decide what I could eat. Then we danced and partied at Mad T Party until closing.
We were supposed to do Early Entry the next morning but I knew for sure I wouldn't be able to wake up. I wasn't sure about everyone else. I was kind of hoping they wouldn't wake up...haha! And they didn't! Since George slept a lot the previous day, he was able to wake up way before everyone else and he told me everyone was still asleep. I breathed a sigh of relief and went back to sleep for another hour. Then it was breakfast time so of course, I got room service!!! I decided a long time ago I would get the Mickey shaped waffle. It was yummy! We got a late start (not surprising) and barely checked-out in time. We went back to DCA first before going into Disneyland. We actually spent the whole day on the left side of the park, mainly in Critter Country, Frontierland and Adventureland. I don't think we stepped foot past Fantasyland and only went to Tomorrowland for Star Tours and to take the Monorail back at the end of the night.
I was so tired by the end of the night. I was trying not to nod off at the wheel! I got home and simply knocked the eff out. But! It was SUCH a fun birthday weekend. People kept asking me what I wanted to do and I got to call all the shots. It was nice ^__^ The only thing I realized today was that I never got a cake with candles to blow out. Yeah, I got a candle here and there on a dessert, but being surprised, blowing out candles and cutting cake is another one of those things that completes a birthday to me. Georgie said we could get an ice cream cake from Cold Stone.
Okay, that's it for now...bye! ♥
