***thanks to everyone that dropped a birthday message, an sms and a mail. I am so grateful, and feel so loved, birthday mate, I hope u enjoyed your day too. Thanks for your sms.
To all the July babies, I say happy birthday, may you spend your days in pleasure and years in prosperity.

July 13th finally arrived ooooo, the day started on a good note with yours truly receiving her July 13th gifts from darling husband, it was accompanied with a big birthday card(the card is so big that I wondered if he starts buying a big and tall birthday cards now, what kind of card will he buy when I am celebrating 50). It also felt good to read a card with "Happy Birthday to my Wife" (see how I have graduated from girlfriend to fiancee to wife).

Sunday night, I was almost certain that the gift was another E71 or another phone atleast, I was complaining that the phone I am using has been keeping sms status as pending and not delivering the sms. Hubby replied and said "don't worry you will soon have a better phone". I think I even dreamt about the new phone sef(lol!)

I woke up on Monday to discover that there was norrin like E71 ooo! or anything that looks like it(he!he!!he!!! not even a remote control to look like a phone).

Hubby ended up buying the gift I planned to get myself....the wristwatch...well it wasn't a bad idea afterall. Right beside it was a cute box that looked like a ring box(In my mind I was like, are we proposing again??? e tun de o!*) .
Seating peacefully inside its box, was this ring with a ruby stone(birthstone for July is ruby). The box included a note, stating what the ruby stone represents.This is one of my best gifts in the world.(Hubby dey do romantic things with this marriage o!) The ring gave me a wow moment!, (not even my engagement ring did that, maybe cos I wasn't expecting this, ). I feel so FLY!!!! with it.

My happy birthday mood faded later in the morning at work, when this sms arrived on my phone from my cousin...."DTA, mummy is dead, why!why!!" .

The sms was it, all the excitement ended, I went to the restroom and I couldn't stop crying. I called her and I just couldn't stop crying too, I couldn't even console her(I'm sure she didn't think of anyone else she could call that moment , that my birthday didn't make any sense to her).

I lost my aunt on my birthday. I remembered one of my birthdays when I was still staying in their house way back in uni, she bought me a Mr Biggs birthday cake, while buying the cake she would never have thought she would die some few years later on this same day...July 13th!!!! How sad.

I just didn't feel the birthday thingy again, her loss is so devastating for everyone in the family. Its so so much a big blow.
Na so all the excitement of July 13th fizzled out ooo!!!!

But what shall we say to these things..."God is still God"


***I will be put up my birthday note to God later this week, so watch this space****

Have a great day!!!

ciao
