happy birthday to me
Filed under celebrations, personal
Today is my birthday. At this time last year I was on a road trip from Kentucky to New York to Washington, D.C. My friends and I welcomed May 28 at an inn in Baltimore, Maryland, before moving on to spend the day in Washington, D.C.
It was Memorial Day and we were in the capital city, so I got to witness all the holiday hullabaloo. Patriotism was thick in the air, there was a parade, and there were booths and goods everywhere.
This year the midnight is rather uneventful. While waiting for the rain to stop so I could go out and grab something to eat (I live in a part of the city that never sleeps), I was blog-hopping when I realized that it is May 28 already. I realize it’s too late now to go out, I am starved, and the only person with me is my roommate, who has fallen asleep. Kamusta naman.
So in an effort to come up with something profound and thought-provoking (because, after all, I am supposed to turn a year wiser) on this milestone of my history, I dug my archives to check my old birthday entries. Here are the ones I found for 2004, 2005, and 2006. I can’t find the one I wrote for 2007, or maybe I did not write one. Be warned that I was just kid when I wrote those entries. I pray to the high heavens that you notice at least a slight improvement in my wisdom through the years, otherwise I am a total failure as a citizen.
I better sleep. I have a long day ahead. Maybe I’ll have the inspiration for that thought-provoking birthday post after the parties are over.
