One Year Less to Live…

As of now, I have one year less to live. No, I’m not dying…yet, it’s just my birthday. Today I reach the big 20. Now I feel old... Some of you wonder what I did on my birthday. Well, I forgot to bring my camera for it so sadly no pictures.

Basically, a couple of friends and I went to the movies and watched the new Pink Panther 2 movie that just came out. I do have to say really funny. Then we all went for sushi for dinner. During dinner, my friends gave me a gift and I had to open it. The thing was, it was wrapped in 15 layers of wrapping paper. Some wrapping paper was normal, others childish and well, 2 layers was pretty adult content. After around 15 minutes of trying to unwrapping, I reached to the end and look at it.

I was pretty surprised that they knew what I wanted. I got the 1/100 scale Gundam 00 Raiser. It’s a sweet kit…sadly…barely have time to build it. Some of my friends are taking bets on how long it’ll take me to build my kits as I still have kits from last year and 2 years ago that I haven’t touched at all. Well, I still thank my friends for this awesome gifts and thank some of my friends for treating me to movie and dinner!!!!! It was a great time!!!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!

Well, some of you are like, what!!!, parents didn’t give you a gift. My parents are giving me one. A plane ticket to Japan. Yes, going to the land of otaku again this year. I’ll be going there for 23 days and spending 7 of those days in Kyoto and the rest in Tokyo. Planning to go to Comiket 76 and if Wonderfest does happen, will go too!!!!! Well, still planning so everything is in the wind for now.

That’s a rather generous present from the parents. Also don’t think of it as one year less to live, think of it as 1 year closer to cheaper car insurance

Happy Birthday~~

A very happy birthday to you, Rin! I turned 20 in Sept myself…it really feels different I have to say. This is a much bigger deal than 18 or even 19 (legal ages for…things…here in BC).

Wow, nice parents you got! That’s like a 1200 dollar value! I can’t remember the last time my parents paid me that much $$.

I’m hoping on coming to Comiket 76, if it lands on a weekend :O.

To everyone: THANKS TO ALL!!!!!!!

Fumika: Comiket is held what I think is August 14 to 16 and yes it’s a weekend…usually a Friday to Sunday…
I’ll be heading to Comiket76 too…maybe we can meet up or something or plan something for Japan…

Lovelyduckie: No….being old has advantages like…I’m finally legal to drink in Japan…LOL…

Blowfish: I might take orders…to a selected few people…maybe I’ll include you too!!!

Samejima: WOW!!!!! That’s new…our bdays are pretty close together…

@Rin: BAH! 20 years old is nothing compared to 23… it’s just like waiting for 7 years and you’d be 30 already.

Rin, I’m actually working in Japan right now. I’ll be here until August 31st. Hopefully, we can meet up. I really want to go to Comiket, but going alone doesn’t seem to be the brightest idea.
