So I'm older...

But not necessarily wiser, or anything else-er. Thanks to all the family and friends who called and emailed. Thanks to all the people on Orkut who wished. People who forgot, you know now why I forget your birthday!

Thanks to roommate (who has been a very good friend) and made sure I had a nice evening in a good restaurant with close pals. Double thanks to her for an extremely luscious chocolate cake from the best cake shop in town. Thanks to labmates and mentor who took me out to lunch. Veggie Dol sot bibimbap tastes just as good as it sounds. ( No, seriously. Its very good.)

And lastly, I'd like to thank my parents for giving birth to me, and God, for creating this intelligently designed, super-duper cool, extremely perfect world that we live in.

Thanks y'all for a lovely birthday.

PS: I forgot to thank my landlord for the pretty flowers and the first birthday balloon I have ever received in my life....as far back as I can remember. (slight pang after reading that last sentence!)
