Yay for bibs!
Mmmmmm. Cioppino! I've been dying to go to Fish Market ever since I tried some at my friend's place.
Yay for family. :)
Let them eat cake! (From left to right: lemon tartlette, fruit tartlette, vanilla bean cheesecake, cappuccino cheesecake, and mini tiramisu in the back)
What's so special about birthdays? I've given much thought since my parents don't understand my and the rest of America's fascination with birthdays. Maybe it's due to the fact that they grew up at a different time in a different culture, or just the fact that they're both pragmatists, but my parents believe, birthdays are nothing special. As my dad says it's somebody's birthday every day.
But I beg to differ. Celebrating birthdays is not so much celebrating the annivarsary of birth as celebrating a person's existence. I mean, what's so special about going to sleep one night and waking up a "older" person the next morning? Sure, you can legally do more things when you turn 16, then 18 and then 21. However, you're still the same person you were before. Maturity isn't determined by birthdays but by experience. However, birthdays are convienant pre-picked days for you to celebrate life, party, and throw caution to the wind. I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy life and spend quality time with the people you love the other 364 days of the year, however on this particular day it's nice to be the center of attention, recieve gifts, and feel appreciated. :)
Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now, but I'm really grateful for all the sweet, lovely and amazing people I have in my life and I want to thank everybody for celebrating my 18th with me. :)
