3.29.09~The Best Birthday

Okay, if you know me already, I don't enjoy my birthday as much as other people enjoy theirs. A couple of incidents have happened during my past birthdays. Everytime I think about it, it makes me wish I don't even have a birthday. So turning 16 years old this year sounded like a drag. But then a couple of people stepped in and broke the curse.

It all started at the beginning of March, when Nikki mentioned she wanted to throw me a birthday party. My first reaction was 'Oh goodness, I actually have to do something for my birthday..' The next days, and weeks, we argued over why she was doing this. I didn't understand why she cared so much, and she never understood why I don't care at all. But throughout the month, I started to agree with her and appreciated what she was doing. My mom told me I should be thankful that she can do all of this for me. I started to see how much Nikki wanted this. I feel so stupid that I didn't notice it before. I kept looking at the past, blinding me from the future.

Weeks passed. It was the eve of my birthday and birthday party. I was talking to Andrew on the phone. I told him before about the terrible circumstances and his response was so confident: "It's okiee, Jacey. Your 16th will be a new tradition." LOL. I don't know if he remembers saying that, but I definetly heard it. Haha, by the time it reached midnight he greeted me a happy birthday and dozed right off.

It was the 29th of March. My 16 years of breathing. I had to be at Andrew's house by 5pm because that's where Nikki is throwing the party. Nikki wouldn't let me see the decorations so I just hid in Andrew's room until she actually let me out. Nikki went upstairs and we both got ready. We chit chatted, did make-up, and laughed in Andrew's bedroom. I changed into a stunning dress, wearing high, black heels and hair curled. I sat up there, waiting. I decided to call Levine Ching. He told me he couldn't come to the party and I was mad. So was Nikki and Andrew. xD

The party started off with playing UNO. I swear, that game is so intense. Andrew played some music and I wanted to dance, so I switched my shoes. When everybody was outside playing in the streets, I felt like breakdancing, so when Nikki wasn't looking, I ran upstairs and changed into my comfy clothes. I HAVE THE WORST TIMING EVER. Once I came downstairs dressed all bleh, Nikki blindfolded me and spun me around so much that I got dizzy. Then before I knew it, someone snatched the blindfold from my face and right in front of me was Nikki V., Judith, Nicole.... and Levine. I couldn't think right at that moment, I couldn't even tell what my face looked like but I heard it was HILARIOUS. My friends scream "SURPRISE!" and I go and give Levine a hug. I was so flustered. LMFAO I can't believe he tricked me.

I was so happy he came. My birthday wish came true (: It's too bad I changed. I got angry at myself for changing. That would've stunned him (; I got to sit next to him and talk to him. Trust me, I enjoyed it. Until he had to leave because he had school the next day -_-'

So I got to spend the rest of the party with my good friends. I breakdanced, I ate, I smiled. My parents came and that means it was time to clean up. The rest of us helped out. The party soon ended in Andrew's room with the guitar playing. It was a beautiful day.

Around midnight my family went out looking for a restaurant that was still open. Why? I needed to eat noodles, it's a tradition. I would've had spaghetti but, unfortunately, Judith didn't bring me any spaghetti. RETARD! xD JK. You know I love you. After, I got home and my 16th birthday was offficially over. The old curse was broken and a new tradition started. No wonder they call it SWEET 16. Thanks everybody. (:

p.s.- pics should be up soon! check back.

****TO NIKKI HERRERA:
Thank you very much for this once in a lifetime deal. I never would have guessed that my birthday could succeed. But it did and it's all because of you. Without this party, I wouldn't have seen my old friend, Gabbie, or have my friends make new friends, or get to see Levine. You are a special friend that I can't even describe in actual words. Sometimes I feel I don't deserve you, but I'm so thankful that I have you. I love you best friend. It's been ten years together and I hope there's ten million more to come. THANK YOU VERY MUCHO.
