My 24th Birthday


Yesterday was my 24th birthday. It was way faster than I would have liked. A few months ago, I planned to create a list of things that I have learned by now, but then I had a change of mind. I also made a scavenger hunt list for me to do, but I eventually decided not to do it, but I did keep the list.

In the morning, my mom forced me to eat porridge she claim was healthy before I headed out and afterwards she gave me a red envelope.



I had lunch at Cafe Rolle with one of my friends on my birthday.  I ordered the chicken breast sandwich, while my friend ordered the salmon sandwich. We also ordered the vanilla creme brulee. I haven't tried creme brulee before and I was expecting it to taste different and I didn't really like it although it does look great.

After lunch, I headed to the mall and because I really wanted to get Urban Decay eyeliner. I bought some a while back and I suddenly lost all of them and I really liked their eyeliner. I ended up getting a mini pack of eyeliner and a Ibuki protective moisturizer.


My mom bought me a cake. I was surprised because I usually ask her for it in my previous birthday, but this time she asked me and she got me it.

The next day, I met up with friends at BJ's in Elk Grove. We had to wait a bit since they were busy during lunch time and more of our party arrived as we waited.

Me and Jessey were the only ones to have a drink there. I thought my drink was ok though and not to my liking.


Half of the table ordered their own dishes and the other half shared. The half that I shared with decided on the bbq spareribs, fried calamari, and chicken wings. It wasn't until later that I realized I wanted the pizza.


Since it was my birthday, I also got a pizookie. As I got it, my friends sang happy birthday and I ate some of the pizookie.


I was able to get a picture of all the guests who attended my birthday lunch. Next time, I will have my birthday gathering at a place with a round table because I like being closer to my guests and that way it's easier to share food.

I was surprised by each person that I got from each person. I was happy with the gifts that I got from each person. There was some stuff that I been wanting for a long time, but I didn't want to get it. I didn't expect to get that many gifts :).


Overall, I think this is one of the best birthdays I've had. I got a chocolate cake. I was able to have a birthday celebration with friends and got lots of gifts from friends.

Day 31 Challenge: Inspired by the song unicorn zombie apocalypse and that its a Halloween. Make a unicorn zombie apocalypse story.

I finally reached the last blog post of this 31 days challenge and I'm so relieved! It was such a long month and not actually the best month either.

There was once a young little girl named Keila, who live in a small tropical island in the Pacific Ocean. In the island, there was a huge mountains with caves. However, the route to the caves were blocked off and no one was permitted access to them. One day, Keila and her friends were adventurous and decided to go up to the mountains and see how far each of them would go to prove their bravery. Keila and her friends found a way to cross the gate that blocked access to the caves. The next step in proving their bravery was to explore the caves. However, all of them were too reluctant to go inside. Throughout their lives, the children heard many horror stories of the caves and why they should stay away. One of the kids named Ritz, said "come on, if none of you can go in like me, then you are all chickens!" That statement made all the other kids adventurous and willing to go in, but still in fear. For the first few steps inside, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary until Ritz accidentally kicked a pebble to the wall. Then, all of a sudden they heard rumbling and a small creature came up and quickly ran to them. In response, the kids screamed and ran out of the cave and back to their homes as soon as possible.

All of the kids were wondering what that creature was since it was so unusual and they had never seen a creature like that before. After a few hours, the kids met up again to discuss what the creature was that they had seen. None of them dare to tell their siblings or other members of their family and the community. As darkness approached, everyone on the island heard a terrible roar and loud clashing, which caused the community to get together on the beach to figure out where the noise was coming from. All of a sudden, a big bird looking creature came flying to all of them. The whole community was either muttering, screaming, or jumping out of surprise. Finally the big bird stopped right next to a palm tree to snack on a bird. When the big bird stopped and landed everyone realized that the big bird had wings, like a unicorn. But, the unicorn was black and it looked like it been killed. Suddenly, more of the black unicorns came to snack on birds. The community leader, Szam determined that the black unicorns were like unicorns zombies who likes to snack on birds. Szam wondered why the unicorn zombies came from and they led him to look at the caves on the mountains. Szam realized that the caves had been explored and that there were hundreds of unicorn zombies flying all over the island in search of food. Everyone was frightened that one of them may be snacked on instead of birds. The sky was usually blue on the island, but became black. The zombie unicorns made louder noises and began to damage the buildings and began attacking islanders who had food. Realizing that there is no place on the island to escape the zombie unicorns, the community realized it's worst nightmare. The horror has arrived.

Day 30 Challenge: Name an event in life that scared you.

I had just got off of my flight in Shanghai. It went much smoother than I expected, but when I got out to the departure area, my ride was not there waiting for me. I expected someone to be there waiting for me already when I got out of my flight. Since I didn't know what to do, I just stood there waiting for a very long time. I panicked because I thought I would be forgotten and not picked up. But, it turns out that my ride decided to wait a bit longer until he picked me up because it would be a while for me to get out of customs and get my luggage. Being a person that always expects people to be on time I found that moment to be very scary.
