My Not-So-Happy Birthday

Lately, things at home have been out of control. It's been making me feel so suffocated. I wish I could just escape but I am fully aware that running away is never a solution. Yesterday it was my birthday. Yes, I am now officially 17 years old.

I always hated my birthday. Simply because every person who knew when my birthday was would suddenly forget about it on the very day and also bad things keep on happening on my birthday. I guess I'm just cursed. Even on my 13th birthday I had a party at my house and in the end only 1 person came! HUMBUG!

I spent the entire day in school staring off into space. Only 3 of my friends wished me Happy Birthday. The rest kind of just ignored it. However, I did get many wishes on Facebook. Many thanks for that! Guess it's because Facebook has birthday notifications, still they made my day.

Didn't celebrate it this year because my mom's becoming superstitious. Bad things have been happening lately to my family and since these two days are Hungry Ghost Festival according to the Chinese calendar my mom's afraid something else might happen to me if we celebrate it. I don't really believe in this stuff because I'm simply too logical, but whatever.

I really wanted to get out of this house so I asked many of my friends out to karaoke. Unfortunately they all declined. I haven't been to karaoke for a year now. The last time was last year on my birthday with two of my buddies. How I miss going karaoke, there's just something about it that makes it so much fun!

Guess that's all for now.
