It Was Like...An Ordinary Day + Alpha

For those of you who forgot, it was my birthday yesterday. (I'm staring at you... yes, you!) I generally don't like making announcement about my birthday in advance, because it feels like I'm asking for presents. Rather, I like telling people on that day, just so it won't go by too much like "just another day". So, the day came and went without anything too exceptional.

So, when I told some people at Kendo practice that it was my birthday yesterday, we ended up going to one of those people's house late that night, chatting and having few drinks. Although there wasn't any present or a cake (yes... it was a lie!), at least I got to have nice dinner and a few drinks, even if it was Tuesday night.

I ended up going to bed at 4 and come to work a bit after 10 today, an hour later than usual. (I went to bed at 4 yesterday. Kinda funny... considering none of us--five, to be exact--minded drinking on weekday.)

So... where's my present?!
