Yeah, 'twas my birthday yesterday.  As a treat, I took my 2 daughters, aged 13 and 12 to a posh salon, and we had our hair done.  They were so excited and they liked how their hair turned out after the usual shampoo-trim-blowdry stuff.  As for me, I didn't like how the hairstylist suddenly snipped my hair in front, resulting to some bangs in my hair.  Pauline commented I looked like a japayuki... I thought, well, that's better than looking like a matrona... or is it the other way around?

Hubby bought Yellow Cab pizza, pasta and chicken for lunch.  Then took me to Makati for a birthday *date*.  Seems we're kind of happy nowadays.  If you get what I mean...

I got plenty of greetings from friends -- starting at midnight, thanks C.  Maybe he's just making up for his late greetings last mother's day, heh-heh.  And just hours ago, I was still receiving texts from friends... thank y'all!!!

I've met again a person who's mother I share the same birthday with... (in simpler terms, his mom & i have the same birthday)... I just discovered this some weeks ago because he told me so... This is the second time I've met somebody like him (with a mom who has the same birthday as mine)... the first one was in college... so I was thinking, since these guys are quite close to me... Hmmm... maybe they see their moms in me? hahaha... Or maybe my maternal instincts are really that strong that I tend to take extra care of friends... through thick and thin...

Speaking of maternal instincts, I was able to watch almost the entire season of American Idol 7.  Yes, from auditions down to the last 12 finalists.  This is because Star World Channel on cable had a marathon showing of AI starting last Friday night... It was really non-stop (marathon nga e!) and i was hooked.  And I found David Archuleta sooo cute and adorable, I wanted to adopt him!  He was so confident and brilliant while singing, but afterwards, he'll be his shy self again, just smiling from ear to ear. Aaaw.... Now I really don't care which David wins (since I was actually rooting for David Cook last week, hee) in this Season 7.

Happy Birthday (Click Five)

Hey you
I know I'm in the wrong
Time flies
When you're having fun

When you're far away
It's lame but I forgot the date
I won't make the same mistake
I'm so to blame
