"Birthdays aren't meant to be given a huge party. It's the day that you should count your blessings and feel great!"
Her birthday is finally today. You know, the past week it seemed like fate was making fun of me. Every number I got was 24. 24 is her birth date, by the way. So it was really frustrating. I kept thinking, 'of all numbers, why this?!', but hey, what can ya' do, right?
As I stated above, today was her birthday. I think I was the first one to wish her on her birthday, because I texted the birthday wish at exactly midnight. Plus, she was asleep. So I'm either the first person or one of the first people.

What I got for her was quite cheap, to be honest. Only a small teddy bear, a (homemade) card and a small purse thing. Hey, you can't really blame me! She said "anything, it doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts.". To be honest, when she said that, I was tempted to gift wrap my pet monkey (named Aboo)'s used diapers. Fortunately I didn't. She'd have hated me for life.
Yesterday was really hectic. Okay, maybe not that hectic, but still. As soon as I got back from school, (at around 3:45 PM) I bathed and whatnot. You know, everyday stuff. At around 4:50 I left the house to go to the mall to get her birthday presents. (Yes, I didn't get them until the very last minute.) You have no idea how hard it is to navigate around unknown territory. Since I don't go out to the mall that much, I was pretty lost. My sisters ended up helping me around. What was supposed to be a half hour shopping trip quickly turned to two hours. My, how time flies when you're under torture!
Shopping is seriously not my thing.
So anyways, after I finally got the stuff, my sisters and I hitched a ride from our Mum. The gifts I had bought were a teddy bear, a small purse thing, a lockable diary, a "Taurus" bookmark as well as a notebook. The diary was for my friend (who's birthday is in 16th May - I didn't want to do it last minute again) and the other two things were for my friend Shane. His birthday was yesterday, so I was really in a rushed state.
As soon as I got back, at around 6:30 PM, I had to swim. So off I went! After getting chlorine induced headaches, I finally left the pool. Then after our Maghrib (dusk) prayers, I went to the Family Area and realized. I haven't done my History folio yet! Shooooot! It was due tomorrow. Or, today, to make it more understandable. And I hadn't started a thing yet. So basicly, from around 9 until 12, all I did was the folio, followed by a couple more hours of pleasure for finishing it. Then, lo behold! The printer would not print. I ended up having to print it today, in the early morning. That was what made me late for school.
Oh, and when did I make the card? At around midnight. Because I couldn't sleep. It was kinda lame, but then, I consider everything I make and everything I do lame. It's a problem I have. Some people call it "modesty". Others call it "being humble". I call it "major self-criticism". Is there a therapy course I can take to get rid of it? If so, let me know!
Till next time,
