Dear Diary,
Firstly, Happy Belated Birthday to me. Let me tell you everything.
I initially didn't have any plans for my birthday, I just wanted to allow myself to do whatever I wanted, and go wherever I wanted, of course with Felix. I wanted to binge-watch the survival show so bad, that I had even downloaded all the episodes on my laptop. Felix was going to watch it with me as well. Basically start the day off with a relaxing but very unhealthy TV session, then head out to the park or the karaoke, maybe meet up with a friend or two, and eat food at a distant supermarket (oddly simple, but it definitely a deserving day)
All of that was in my head for the past 2-3 days until Mom came up to me and told me something literally fantastic. It was a lovely beautiful coincidence for my birthday to fall on a relative's wedding, so automatically THE ENTIRE PARAGRAPH WRITTEN ABOVE - striked out. Oh, it's not just 1 day, it's 3 days and 2 nights in a far-off place I've never been to.
Being a social butterfly was definitely NOT my forte, so I was definitely not looking forward to any of that. But of course, what possible reason could one give to attend a glamorous fiesta of people sobbing, gasping, and cursing? (honestly, there's so much more to those but that's not the point).
While I was busy counting the minutes to my birthday (in front of relatives I've seen like, 8 years ago, basically a very uncomfy environment), my dad had to barge in and scold me about the most nonsensical shit I've ever heard. Luckily, it wasn't in front of them, but I definitely did feel bad to start my 19th birthday with a lovely scolding from my dad, who btw never wished me.
Nonetheless, the rest of the day basically continued with around 8 people (which I hate now) body shaming me and getting forgotten. It was fantastic with the added sore throat and limbs, I sounded AND looked like a dying goat. At least I got wishes from my close cousins. That was touching though :')
(I can't forget about the part where Mom got gifts for only my cousins whom we rarely meet, she most probably forgot about something else today)
AND FAST FORWARD TO THE NEXT DAY, When we actually celebrated my birthday!
Okay, I promise I'm not being ungrateful cuz I genuinely loved the cake my cousin's sister got me, it had shiny spheres and was chocolate flavored :D I got a shirt from my favourite cousin, it was really good looking, and it fit perfectly (thank goodness)
Of course, something always went wrong. Dad was super pissed at me the entire day for the TINIEST reasons, like not getting him water on time, or sunbathing for a bit (it was so good). I obviously got hurt, and I couldn't help but accidentally spend too much time in the washroom (around 1.5-2 hours) contemplating what I did that day.
One thing led to another and eventually, I landed with slaps from my dad (of course) in front of my relatives. I wasn't allowed to go out either. Did I mention how only 3-4 friends wished me that day?
If you're wondering where Felix was all this time, he was busy enjoying time with his family, who came from Australia (I have no idea where they are at the moment)
Anyways uh yeah. Wonderful memories.
