21st birthday *Daddy's little girl not so little anymore."

It is customary that your 21st birthday should be celebrated in a casino gambling the night away or in a nightclub getting wasted, dancing to loud trashy music next to sweaty strangers. Well not only did I NOT gamble but i didn't even took a sip of alcohol. Is that ironic or what? And trust me it was not intentional. This is how it started. I called my mom at like 1 this morning and of course i knew the bad news that she didn't get the visa (again) but it's difficult hearing how it happened on your birthday. And truly it is indeed hard when the only present you want is the presence of your mother. Well obviously i am not so lucky to have all my wishes come true. I received 21 text messages from Ivi. A couple of them made me cry. An interesting text message came from next door, i mean literally from the room next to mine. Ela's idea of a unique way of wishing me happiness and all that good stuff one wishes on such occasions. Waking up i see my phone bombarded with many messages and missed calls. Usually i am very pleasant and make fast friends but only a selected few love me unconditionally as i love them so their good wishes mean a lot to me. However as i was going through the messages i was hoping to see one from you (you know who you are)but there was none there. I decided i would receive a phone call later but none came. Well i talked to all my loved ones and got ready for work. Yes i worked on my birthday. I worked because i wanted to. I didn't want to celebrate my birthday truth be told because i was not in a festive mood. I stopped by Woodside first. Juana and her craziness made some customers sing me the happy birthday song. Blushing i left and worked for some good 6 hours. It went surprisingly fast and Vali is funny when she wants to. So all in all wasn't that bad. I was driving home listening to 'Livin la Vida Loca' and i realized that i was not living the vida loca. I was living a moderately boring life with a couple of exciting trips attached to it. I was thinking of a way to make it more exciting but i didn't find an answer . I still haven't found one. My family was gathered like they always do on my birthday. It is nice to know you got people supporting and being there for you in such an important date as your birthday, especially people that love you like my family loves me. Enea, Kevin, Brandon and me blew the candles and I didn't make a wish because it would be pointless to make a wish that wouldn't come true. I am laying in my bed now listening to 'Pa Fat' , only too fitting for my situation.
