candy houses

It's a little past 12am and still I'm not asleep. The candy house that my mom and my aunt made for my bday (which was yesterday) is now shrouded by several sheets of table napkins while the dog ate something from the floor again. It didn't really feel like a birthday--I can't seem to get back that feeling that little kids have when approaching their birthdays when they would grin from ear to ear and basically have fun. But to me, it's just like an ordinary day. I can't wait for tomorrow though--I'm getting my ears pierced and a ukay-ukay shopping spree. Hopefully I'll find a nice pair of boots.
