thanks everyone :D i reallyreallyreallyreallyreally hope i didn't forget anybody D: hope not! tell me if i did okay!

i think my emotions were pretty strange today. it was just like a rollercoaster, up down up down up down. trust me, those types of emotions on your birthday isn't a nice feeling. really. but it turned out well in the end i guess. ended on a high which i was having hope for the whole day. at least tomorrow i won't have anymore up downs i think (:

every year, you think differently on your birthday. every year, this day takes a different turn. you take in in, soak it up and then reflect how it's been. what and who is more important now.

do birthday wishes come true? (:

but i read something today which evoked tears from my eyes.
i'm really hoping it isn't true;
