Happy birthday, happy birthday...
Happy birthday to you!
I heard that song twice on July 25. First was from my whole family who gave me martabak cake at midnight, and the second was from my besties who gave a beautiful cake and 17 balloons around 5 am. And guess what? I am 17 now! I am legal now (because the legal age for Indonesian is 17, not 18).
It feels like just yesterday I was 16 and all of my besties gave me another surprise at school. Time flies too fast and I just cannot believe that I'm gonna meet July 25 for the 17th times!
Many things happened in my life for the past 17 years, and all of those things are mixed. I got used to not received presents for my birthday so it is okay for me to not receives presents for this year, though. I mean, its not about the presents right? Its about the age, and the maturity, and getting license and everything. Hehehe.
I got sooooo much greetings from my twitter, facebook, instagram and bbm's friends. I feel really blessed and loved. I didn't even expect for more than 150 interractions on my twitter on that day, but the interractions was just blew up and I was so happy to sending back my love to them.
I am really grateful for my family, for my good friends, for my online-besties, for my readers all over Indonesia, and for everything that I have until now.
There was no party and celebration for my birthday yesterday, even I am so sure that most of girls in Indonesia would've partying for their sweet seventeen. (the 'sweet' birthday for Indonesia is 17, eventhough the 'sweet' birthday for Europe, US or Australia is usually 16). But I still am grateful for all of this. And since my Dad and my Mom already gave me the best present that I've been waiting since the middle school. (But I cannot open it and 'taste' it until August 23!) Hehehe.
The point is, I am so happy.
My wishes for my sweet 17 and my year 17 of my life are the maturity of myself, the losing weight that I've been doing for the past a month (I know, right? HAHAH!), and receive successful on my study because I am at grade 12 now. And yes, 'this wish' that I cannot share to all of you (its kinda private, though!) hehe.
And anyway... if you following my blog, you will know that I really really like this boy... well, I've been expecting for this boy to send me a greeting for my birthday and I thought he wasnt send me one, but actually he did! And I just realized that about 30 minutes ago! I am so happy that this boy remember my birthday and wishing me some good things. And guess what? HE WAS THE LAST PERSON WHO GAVE ME A BIRTHDAY GREETING. He wasnt the first one, but he was the last so that is OKAY. I was crying for 5 minutes because I like (or love?) him so much and I cannot believe that he did that! Oh geez. I am so happy since its been a year for me to have a crush on him! Hahahah. I dont know why but I am blushing right now. LOL.
So, yeah. Ooookay. I think thats enough from me about my 'Turned 17' entri! And here are some pictures from my big big day! :)
