Have a happy birthday or else

Before anything else, I'd like to give a special shout out to everybody who remembered my birthday. Thank you for your good wishes and for taking the time to let me know that you guys haven't forgotten me. It is much appreciated. :-)

So I just got back from watching Gran Torino with a dear friend. Thanks for rescuing me from my stressful life and giving me some down time sweetie. You're the best! I didn't bother to have a birthday party and just went for something laid back. Life is stressful enough as it is and I don't want to have to cook for my own party and worry about dirty dishes.

Anyway, the movie is classic Clint Eastwood. If I remember correctly, the last time I saw him was in Bridges of Madison County, which I didn't like by the way. Gran Torino is co-written, produced and directed by the man himself. Just so you know, the acting sucks big time -- I mean, where the hell did they find those so-called actors? -- but Mr. Eastwood has more than enough acting skills for the entire cast and for the entire cast's mothers to make this a good film. Here's the trailer:

Awesome right? Go watch it!

Look at what Mr. Postman brought me today:

I got a Christmas card from Gerd! So sweet! My Daddy Beb doesn't really like writing letters so this means a lot to me. I think I've only gotten two or three cards from him since I've been here. I know right? The card would've been perfect had the Philippine Post Office exerted a little more effort to make sure that Christmas cards are delivered on Christmas. At this rate, I'll be receiving my birthday card on Valentine's Day. Oh great.

Short post for today folks. I need to catch up on some Zzz's.
