My birthday is Nov 26th- a day before Thanksgiving. Which I always hate since I came to US three years ago. Nobody, I mean literally, remember about my birthday. It's all the Thanksgiving that steals the thunder. And the ridiculous thing is: because the week of my birthday is also the winter break one, that means all my friends will go somewhere and I have to celebrate the whole 20th year all by myself. I have not had internet over a week until the morning of my birthday-which I consider the miracle gift. Before the internet went on vacation, I was left with couple Do As Infinity songs, Solitaire, Free Cell, and a Typing program. I was completely out of everything. Oh and my phone was cut off because I didn't pay the fee. Luckily I still can receive called and had a chance to meet my host mom. We talked like crazy mostly me. When I realized I might babbling too much, she already yawned. At least it was some afternoon to remember.
So the morning of my birthday, I got internet. First thing is of course news, any kinds of news I can get. Then I read some Kyo manga that has not been published. It couldn't been better. Then I have to long chat with my sister. It was great. We talk about our future, some part was crazy like when she told me she want me to go to England with her. I hesitated. I mean I never like the idea of going to England. It actually never occured to me. The whole punk, kind of crazy culture scares me. Plus the weather of England is just depressing like Hanoi. And I basically don't like Brits, especially the young ones, they are so close to asshole. So I tried my best to tell my sister that I will think about it since she just kept pushing. Don't know how the hell she gets that idea from.
The days after was of course thanksgiving. I did not step a bit out of my buiding. Except cigarretts, yes. Sticking with internet a whole day was actually good.
The day after that was actually better. I went to bank and asked for lost ATM card. The bank teller, whom I guess that has familiared with my face- because I went there to claimed lost Debit Cards so many time, told me that the bank has already destroyed the card because it was there too long. But she can get me a new one. Then I asked her is any chance to make this ATM card work online ( I am restricted to have no Debit Card until Late 2009) She asked me why I don't try the Debit Card. I explained the situation with sad puppy eyes. She said let her tried somethings. After few minute, she gets closed to me and said : "now you listen to me very closely, I change your account's product type so you can have a new card in about 5 to 7 days of business. And your ATM card will only activate to next morning." Isn't it awesome? I get my cards back. I mean with the whole great internet shopping stuff, you having no Debit Card is just like a pain in rehab. I need my bong back. But I now know how to control it.
Today is Saturday. I am going to cook somethings great from what I bought in International Groceries yesterday. I will feel better.
