All right. So this is a quick note. Pardon the title, but I’m pretty upset. I am never coming to the gorram Philippines again!! (Not literally, but like I said, I’m pretty upset) This would be the SECOND gorram fucking time that my stupid ass birds die while I’m in this gorram country. Soofa bitch! What a shitty birthday present from my brother if he is lying. Fuck to the 100th power. Oh yeah. That’s right. I said that. I’m really upset. I loved those birds. Sure. Laugh at me. Just birds. But they were MY birds. Mine. Hatched ‘em and everything. Stupid birds. Stupid dying. Stupid birthday.
Okay. Not going to start crying in a gorram internet lounge. Breathe. More pissed right now than cryin’. Okay. Yeah. Uh…my Moleskine is in the car so this is seriously a quick post.
Back in Manila. Still not dead. Have to say this: I lied. Manila really isn’t so bad. That first observation was based on Chinatown and the Old District. Seriously. You could come visit, any one of you so long as you have a Filipino with you in some aspect. I’ve seen more Westeners here than I have in Baguio and stuff. Really. All the rumors and stuff we’ve heard only apply to people who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nope. Still upset. Crying may ensue when I see their empty cage. I’m telling you this right now — if my brother is pulling my leg, I will be sooooo pissed. Happy they’re alive, but pissed.
Oh. And as it turns out, we’ll be leaving here Thursday. My birthday won’t be on a plane. It will still suck in a lot of ways cuz I can’t be where I’d be happy…but it will be okay here, I s’pose. Who am I kidding. Worst. Birthday. Ever.
Sorry to be such a downer. Seriously, this was going to be a better post until I read what happened to Birdie and Baby. 
Not dead. Sad. But not dead.
ETA: Uh…we will play when I come home, right? If I were the drinking sort, I’d need a few of ‘em. Supposedly I’ll be home around 6:00 Thursday night.
I will certainly be up for something, although at midnight I’m going to see Harry Potter. You would be welcome to join us…
OH NO!!! That’s awful!
um, Happy Birthday, though!
I think it was pretty much assumed we’d see you when you got back home, so yeah, we’ll drink for you.
Oh, sweetie…. Birdie AND Baby? I’m so sorry.
jessi! happy birthday! sometime i hope to seeee you! We need to get some ice cream and i’ll be sad with you.
We better see you when you get back!! I’m sorry about the birds! Come visit me at school.
Then, on Friday night…. you come see the play and then I take you to see… DUh Dun DUH… Harry Potter!!!!!
Happy Birthday!!
Woooo!!! Birthday!!! on a plane!!!!! Woooo!!!!!
