Sometimes, I Don't Wish Paris

I will let the waters engulf us. 
Let alone skyscrapers bow before us.
This place is dressed for the occasion.
Let them breathe, breathe nothing but us. ♥

Dear September Goddess,

17 more days and I’ll be blowing candles again for my 26th birthday. Not that it’s a screaming big a deal, but we all know that, traditionally, birthdays are always someone else’s special day, right? So I figured, why not make a birthday wishlist while waiting for the 21st? Who knows, maybe you’d be kind enough to grant one of them wishes. And besides, I think there’s no harm feeding the kid inside me her simple joys. So, here goes a list of my hundred-to-one solicitation...

• For my birthday cake, I have always wanted a freshly made Italian cheesecake sprinkled with Hershey Kisses on it. You see, I’m a sweet tooth monster myself.

• I may exude a boyish vibe from time to time but an armful of spring flowers (if not possible, roses or lilies would do) usually do the trick in bringing out the lady in me. A huge stress on ‘armful’ okay? Haha! Oh, what pretty flowers do to sum up a lovely birthday.

• Because multiply is shutting down and online blogging can sometimes be (you have to admit it) overrated, I would love to have a scrapbook where I can preserve memoirs of all the people close to my heart, a handy leatherbound notebook where I can list all the things that makes me happy, and a diary to remind the older version of me how life is worth the living despite its rough patches. 

• A pack of Marlboro Red/A badass smoking hot lighter is one of the best birthday presents one could ever give to a smoker. Not that I would treat it as a speeding ticket to the highway of death but it’s the thought I'd appreciate. Haha!

• Now these are quite expensive stuff but a pair of new sliding gloves and a set of protective pads to complete my downhill longboarding gear please? Hahaha! Oh yea, add a leather racing suit too! Okay, that, I’m exaggerating. Lol. 

• Books! Or if I may overstately suggest, a legit pocket dictionary autographed by a famous lexicographer. Say, Barbara Anne Kipfer? :P

• A compilation of Jazz music + post grunge songs in an iPod shuffle/nano. ;)

• What a girl wants! What else? A shopping spreeeeee! M-ma-material girl. :)

• And last but not the least, a Vaio laptop to conclude my grand list.

Thank you in advance! 

Your grateful dancing Virgo,

Ken Briz 
