Birthday Blues

So today, the 8th day of the year 2008, I turn 28. Yep, that's because I was born in the year 1980. I am numerically destined to be lucky this year and I claim all the luck that the universe is willing to throw my way.

So far, the day has not started very well. I woke up with red splotches on my face, possibly a result of allergies. To what, I still have no idea. This is the second time in less than a month that this has happened. Not very amusing.

And then I got into a pseudo-fight on YM with a new friend. It was nothing serious but for some reason, possibly PMS, I felt really bad about it. Yes, bad enough to shed a few tears over it. And my face being red as it already is today makes it even more obvious that I cried.

And then came the call from Nuna telling me that my hard drive crashed. Or almost crashed. My thesis! My thesiiiiiis! Thankfully the laptop is working again and yes, they have made back up files of my thesis. Nothing can be as important as the thesis.

I'm halfway through the day. Enough time to make my birthday the lucky day that it should be. Oh, if you want to help, gifts always brighten up my day. Yeah, even when it's not my birthday. No? Ok.

Oh, I do have a birthday date to look forward to. A friend has generously volunteered to take me out to dinner and maybe coffee afterwards. We'll see how that will turn out.
