SHADOWS REALM

I have something great to blog about for a change!

My birthday today so far has to be the best one in 7 years. Not only have a broken my birthday crying streak (not one tear yet) but I felt so much love and glee today that I had to share.

My day started by a bunch of text messages coming in wishing me a happy birthday from people that I didn't even know would remember. I lazed around in bed and then go up to shower to head to Sephora to pick up my free birthday gift as well as a Benefit product I wanted to try for a while that was on my wishlist. On a whim I headed downstairs to Godiva to try their dark choclate heart shaped cookies for Valntines. On a whim I decided to try thier choclate covered strawberries as I had never had one before, and I told the lady it was my brithday and I might as well give myself a 1st time treat. She was shocked I had never had the pleasure of having a chocolate covered strwberry and gave me a great deal on a cone full of them. She signed me up for thier rewards card, gave me a free piece of choclate, and cut me some beautiful teal ribbon with 'Happy Birthday' printed on it which I have tied into a bow around my neck now. I was already feeling good when I headed back on the train to make my lunch date with Chesca at Veggie Palate on Flatbush in Brooklyn. Grub there was good as usual (thanks again Chesca!); we ordered crispy nuggets, mango chicken and a scallion pancake. I had a carrot & pineapple juice which is my new fav.


After we mused around in Target and walked a bit of the grub off I headed to West 4th solo to grab my anual birthday dinner of lemon chicken at VP1 only to come to the front door and see it completely demolished inside. They had just shut it down yesterday for renovations! I almost wanted to cry and stood outside looking in pouting when a guy named Phillip came out and told me that I can go to the sister store Red bamboo two stores down. I whined a bit and told him I like THIS store and how I alway have my birthday dinner here. He then asked me what were my favourite dishes here and after I had named them off he called one of the guys inside the store to come and prepare me my lemon chicken dinner! I was in SHOCK! He told me dont worry I will have the cook make it for you in about 5 minutes. I cant tell you how special I feel right now! When he brought me my dinner he said he threw in some icecream too because it's my birthday and only charged me for teh lemon chicken and not the rice I ordered with it. I then walked with him to Red Bamboo to pay for the meal and when I got there he said ' Wait, I will throw in an order of buffallo chicken for you as well' (one of the favourite dishes I had mentioned earlier) and was back off into the kitchen. I couldn't thank this guy enough. 10 minutes later I walked back to the subway with 2 bags of yummy grub and only ended up paying $8 for everything.


I just popped the icecream in the freezer and I am just going to chill the rest of the birthday out.
finally a day when I felt special!


BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.
