I've meaning to do an entry for this topic for a bit now.
On October 13th 2012, I celebrated my 18th Birthday!! I am now an adult (in the governments eyes, but with your own eyes that could be argued). Now with being classified as an adult I do get some pecks.
I get to sign shit and enter contests without my Mothers consent! Lol I can legally drink, though I don't think I will be a big drinker and try to get smashed every weekend like some people my age do. My Mother got me a whole case of cruisers with the money one of my uncles gave me and all I drank from that was half a bottle. Half a bottle! It cost $70 and all I drank from it was half a bottle! The rest my cousins and friends drank.
Yeah and I didn't like the taste that much. And all though I can legally drink now because I'm 18, every time my Pop walked into the room I would hide the bottle. He's not against drinking, he had some beers himself. It's just that that's my Pop, my Grand Father, and out of respect I don't want to drink in from of him and I wouldn't feel comfortable. But for some reason I think I would be comfortable drinking in front of my Nan's.
It was a simple party; no crazy space was rented out, no flashing lights or crazy performers like those on tv. It was a backyard BBQ with family and friends. And that's all I wanted.
See when I think of home and where I belong, I always think of my Pop's House with all my loved ones; having a gem feed and listening to music. In the beginning it's usually country music till one of my Aunties plug in their ipod. Then it's some awesome songs we haven't heard in ages or a cool new remix of today's singles. Then sometime during the night it may change back to country music.
But on the night of MY birthday we were all dancing to "OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!" So much lols!
It was really nice to be reminded of home and that's where I will always belong. No matter how far I will travel.
I had such a nice birthday and got such cool presents. I was treated like a princess because I got my hair and make-up done too. And arrived fashionably late also. Lmao!
*Big sigh* Awww… It's a new year for me, I hope it's gonna be a good one
