A bit of (fun) fact about me: After 38-39 years, I realized I don’t really like cakes. Or at least, I can only have one small slice of cake or half of a cupcake.

The same goes with other pastries. Either one portion only, or half of it. Or harass my husband so I can take a bite from his.

Except for donuts.

So two donuts with a candle on it is a perfection for me ??

Here’s for more awesome years to come, for more happiness. And please no Covid what the heck two Covids for the past two years.

Update: If you think I’m not going to flood this post with Animal Crossing screengrabs, you are wrong.

I’m seriously happy we have Stitch, Filbert, and Ray-freaking-Mond at the party. These three are my favorite villagers.

AND LOOK! BREWSTER SAID HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY!

Also, serenaded by K.K., as usual…

And I wholeheartedly agree with Raymond. I get cooler, wiser, and “more collectible”. LIMITED EDITION.

I honestly thought that as I grow older, I will be more… Cynical about birthdays. I remember I was so emo about the whole thing when I was in university years, but then, I guess as you become older, you start to apply that c’est la vie-mindset, and just… YOLO, you know? To respect the time you had and will have, your experiences and adventures, and all the tears and smiles.

To respect yourself.

OK, Nintendo, can we change the “cake”-part to donut, please?

“Who’s she?”

Kazran Sardick:
“Nobody important.”

The Doctor:
“Nobody important?

Blimey, that’s amazing.

You know, nine hundred years of time and space and I’ve never met anybody who wasn’t important before.”
