The Big 2-0!

Yesterday I hit 20...on the 20th! All in all it was a most magnificent day. I've been truly blessed with amazing friends to celebrate with. Truly.

I started off the day with going to class at 10 and leaving just after 11. Paid some bills, bought my cake and went home. Opened up all the windows in the house and hoped for some good breeze to keep it all cool. It was still too hot. Oh well. Then my guests started arriving! The day just kept getting better from there.

Normally, when I have my little get-togethers at home, we play Rock Band. It's like...one of the main things happening at my house. Eventually the guys end up playing Fifa as well (boring!). For this one, I decided that we would have no XBox games. None. So, we went old school. Board games and whatever we could do. I wanted to have a super interactive day with everyone and, to be quite honest, that was only more possible without the presence of the grand XBox.

Taboo, Clue, Uno, Jenga, Sorry, Dominoes, Mafia and classic boardgames like chess and backgammon helped make my birthday an amazing day.

An amazing day with amazing people. I hope everyone had a huge blast like I did. =)

It's that time of the year...

...when I get gifts and people say "Happy Birthday!" all over the place! =D

So what did Miori do for her birthday?

I had this huge lime at my house with friends and family and family friends! All in all there were probably somewhere are 50 persons there. That's a pretty full house! There were children all over the place and about 12 of my friends and my 14 yr old cousin's 7 friends, aunts and uncles and Mum and Dad! That turned out to be one long tiring day but I had a super awesome time =] 

And I got gifts too! From my Dad and my friends. Of course, as people get older the whole idea of presents isn't really as big as when you're a lil kid but my friends put some money together to get me a gift this year and it's so awesome =D So I got a wonderful lil DS Lite with Pokemon Diamond and Platinum! The little girl inside just jumped for joy! =] And I got a cooling pad from Danny! It's so cool..it lights up blue when it's plugged in xD He's been wanting to see how cool it looks but I forgot to take a pic and my cellphone camera doesn't work so I can't do it right now =( Next time!

So that was all on Sunday, the day before my birthday =] On the actual day, I went to a full day of classes (yay >.>) then I went home and started using my awesome new DS and started playing Pokemon Platinum! So I've got me a start there, I have to remember to get the key for Rotom to switch forms before the end of the week though =o After short DS play, I had to get ready to go to dinner with my parents. We went to this restaurant in a hotel that my Mom though would be nice. It really wasn't so great.

The service sucked...it was just so unprofessional. About 3-4 times during our meal, the waitress-lady-person was like "You OK?" Err...that's not how you ask a question in proper English. And the menu wasn't great either, I had to request shrimp separately with 2 side orders: lemon basmati rice and vegetables. So they gave me 3 bowls to eat from. Why couldn't they put it all on one plate since I made the order as a single meal not 3 orders! Then the food didn't even taste all that great. *sigh* But I had a great time with my parents, so it was still a pretty good evening.

All in all, I had a really good birthday this year! Thanks to all who made it so wonderful =D
