The Big Two-Oh - Teener No More

They got me drunk.

20th Beerday

Kevin, Jhed, LA, Yna, Rens, Irvin, Aaron James, Neil, Jake, Jason, and Tantan (yeah, 3 emerging influential bloggers under one roof, who knew, who knew?). It’s the only picture I took, and they’re not even complete there because the last 3 people just made habol. Neil, however, took lotsa eyesores eye-candies.

They all braved the crazy and dangerous route to my house just to celebrate my birthday with me. It was the first time I ever invited people over for some booze. And I had a blast, both literally and figuratively.

I have never been soooo drunk in my entire natural-born life. I completely went bonkers and spaced out. I’m still reeling from having too much alcohol in my system, really. But I remember every second of the booze fest. Well, except for the part when I went to my father’s room to sleep and leave my visitors by themselves. I didn’t even send them off properly. See how much of an ungrateful bitch I can be? Hehe, me too. :p

The first thing I did when I woke up was hug my family and thank them for being supportive of the party idea. Like I mentioned before, it was the first time I planned something like this. I was on a camp trip last year and had to celebrate my birthday with classmates. So I said to myself, I want my 20th to be special. I wanted booze. I had to shell out a couple of hundreds for it, but it was worth it. I got the booze anyway. Not everyone I would have wanted to be there came, but at least we all had fun. I hope.

Guys, thank you. Thank you for the 2 boxes of cake. Thank you for the 69 candles. Thank you for the songs. Thank heavens it didn’t rain. :p Thank you for cleaning up the mess before you went home. Thank you for the funny moments. Thank you for being with me. Thank you for making me happy.

This message of gratitude also goes to the people who take their time to read this boring blog of mine. Thank you for the support. And the hits. And the clicks.

I turn 20 today. Pretty gifts are always welcome; cash even more than welcome. :))

PS: I’ve written an emo post on a newly-created blog. Sponsored Link: Now who’s willing to treat me to a tummy tuck in Houston? You know, make me slim a little bit because it’s my birthday. You’d have to shoulder all expenses though. ;) Hah, I wish.

    Isang napakalaking rakenrol salamat sa selebrasyon. ‘Yan, natupad mo na rin ang kauna-unahang home invitation, at natupad mo rin ang pangarap mong malasing kaming lahat! Nyahahaha.

    At opo, mga minamahal na kaibigan, AKO ANG UNANG CASUALTY. :D

    Siyempre honored naman akong maimbitahan ng ating minamahal na idol, kaya siyempre uminom ako hangga’t makakaya ko. ‘Yun lang, nag-reklamo agad ‘yung sistema ko and BOOM! I became Koko Crunch. Total Knockout.

    Muli, isang maraming salamat at masigabong pagbati.

Anyway, pupunta ka ba sa 21, I’m planning to give a pahabol gift kung magkikita tayo. hehehehe.

    Next yr maghanda ka ng shot glasses, I’ll provide the amaretto, bailey’s and whipped cream. Blowjob anyone?!?
