Say Happy Birthday to my dad, everyone because this old peach turns 42! Confetti, Spaghetti and happy beer noises!

Thank you, Dad for always being there for me. I appreciate your constant love and support, you always cheer me up when I'm down. I know I'm not the greatest daughter in the world, but I love you 3000+.

And besides, you and mom made an amazing human/genius. Nine-Nine fans, where are you at?

Speaking of birthdays. . . September 25th was the golden day I was born. And when that day rolled in 2019, my parents threw me a little dinner at a restaurant with friends and family to celebrate. I invited the Three Idiots, Andy, Kira, and my other friends from my previous school. Flynn said he'll came in a few minutes, he had some bills to pay nearby. 

We gathered on the balcony area of long glass table fit for 15, and we had the whole place to ourselves. We captured pictures and videos with the greatest backdrop: the sun descending out of the horizon. The pool area on the ground floor shimmered in the moonlight, I almost envied its calmness, untouched by anyone.

Flynn magically appeared later on. We couldn't stop teasing him with my other girl friends. Hades did, for the most part.

"Flynn, come here," Hades bulldozed Flynn with great effort to where she was standing. "Meet my new best friend, Rose Daile." And smiled cheerfully as if he's done a great job playing matchmaker. When neither of them made a move he grabbed both their hands, "Go on, shake hands."

Dash covered his mouth to hide a snicker, Andy and Jara kept whistling. 

Flynn had that James Dean hair, the personality of Keanu Reeves and Leonard Hofstadter combined. I didn't realize that until Hades teased me with him and I strongly denied it. Days later, I saw him wearing a white long sleeve polo with his hair he obsessively gels. He pulled off that look effortlessly and I might have stared at him too long while he cuffed his sleeves. 

It was in moments like these that made me think a lot about Hades. Because there he was, unabashedly flirting with my other friends who were unknown strangers. He kept pushing Flynn and Rose to talk to each other and discretely gesturing for Dash to finally make a move on Andy - he was very chatty as if my friends were his long time friends, too.

So what's with the reserved Hades? I don't believe he was just tired that day. His aura changed big time and I wanted to know what was wrong but I didn't want to pry on his private life so I promised to myself not to make assumptions.

Truly, I gotta say, that birthday was the best. Sweet 16, indeed.
