Happy Surprises
Last Thursday, December 3, was my birthday. Heartfelt thanks to Jie and Tin who remembered and reminded Joey to greet me. I did notice the lack of Joey’s traditional birthday tributes where she reminisces how she fell in love with Volks SD13 Shiro Tachibana – but got me instead, as if I forced myself into her life. Thank you, Joey. Know that if not for me, you won’t have as many friends, you ingrate.
She did take me to Italianni’s to chaperone Lobo who’s meeting Ichigo after her fabulous makeover in Singapore. The only thing I had to look forward to was Lobo turning werewolf and devouring more than pasta. People from the next table did come over to gape at us, but that’s normal; it always happens whenever we’re in a public place. It was just another ordinary Thursday.
Or so I thought.






The entire restaurant stopped, looked and laughed with us. It was shocking, embarrassing and happy. Damn you, Joey.
My most unforgettable birthday on video, shot by Rey:


Grazie mille, Italianni’s!

It’s okay, Sir, you may take a photo. Don’t run if I say cheese.

Thank you, Krishna, Tin, Joey, Rey, Lobo, Ichigo, Maven, Ulalume and the Italianni’s crew for spending a most remarkable Thursday with me. I will never forget this.

Happy birthday, neighbor!
*hugs* <3
I would’ve been there, but…yknow. family first. Had to prioritize my parents’ 21st anniversary. (_ _) …but I really wanted to be there!!!
Glad you had an awesome celebration. ^o^ Let’s have another party!!!
December 12th, 2009 - 19:32
I totally understand, neighbor. No worries. Besides, I was there for Ichi-bo, and was not expecting to be serenaded by rather cute Italianni’s girls.
Thanks and see you soon! ♥
December 7th, 2009 - 06:07

Happy Birthday Uno!
On the other side, it’s very amusing (and hilarious) to note that non-humans can now celebate their birthdays at Italliani’s.
P.S. I’m not gonna be surprised if you are very first in the history of Italliani’s to have this kind of celebration.

I’m not gonna be surprised if you are very first in the history of Italliani’s to have this kind of celebration.
The first non-living thing to celebrate his birthday at Italianni’s! This is why he is called Uno. He must live up to his name!
December 7th, 2009 - 13:52
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Uno…
Happy birthday to you!
(Pardon my scratchy singing voice, I’ve had a cold the past week. ^-^ )
December 14th, 2009 - 21:55
I think your scratchy singing voice is sexy.
Thank you very much, Pix!

Thank you, Chin! Of course Joey didn’t bring me to Italianni’s. Boo. I’m going to stomp on her plants now.

Happy (belated) Birthday, Uno~
Woah, a girl on the forum I frequent (linked to from my name) posted that video before I had a chance to come here. Its actually pretty exciting to “know” someone in this kind of video. Much more when no one else knows them. ^^;
December 15th, 2009 - 02:06
Thank you, Teru!
Is that another doll forum? Why was the video posted there?
December 8th, 2009 - 13:43
A very late Happy Birthday to you, Uno! Keep making magic happen!
December 15th, 2009 - 02:11
As the saying goes, where there is woman there is magic. Therefore, I must hang around women more! Thanks, Freej.
December 8th, 2009 - 18:57
Happy Birthday Uno!
Happy Birthday to Veritas too!
December 15th, 2009 - 15:56
Thank you for remembering, Kishi! Uno is so self-centered. Hmph.
December 8th, 2009 - 20:34
OMG! We’re so sorry we weren’t able to greet you sooner Lord Uno!
Problems just HAD to arise…
Anyhoo~ Belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY~!!!
(Freya:*shakes tambourine in the background*) What a fun birthday that was! (Or is fun an understatement?XD) So now that makes you about… HOLY CRAP SIX YEARS OLD!
CONGRATS P’RE!!!
December 15th, 2009 - 16:20
Oh no, worries. Thank you very much. I hope you have all your problems sorted out now.
Yes, I’m old. My joints creak in the morning.
