Hello to everyone who blogs I have these words to say. Tuesday October 13TH, 2009 was my nephew Anthony's 4TH birthday. I can't believe my youngest nephew is 4 years old. Anothony has to go to school on his birthday which he didn't like. I don't blame him because I hated going to school on my birthday too whenever my special day landed on a weekday. However I always made the best of it and so did Anthony. In honor of Anthony's special day I baked mini cupcakes for him and his class. I started baking at 9:25 a.m. and I had all the supplies I needed to make mini cupcakes thanks to my sister Jessica. To make sure that I had enough cake batter to make 24 mini cupcakes I filled each cupcake baking cup with 2 tablespoons of cake batter and it worked. Whenever I make cupcakes they always come out as big as muffins and I always ended up with 12 cupcakes because I filled the baking cups with a really big spoon. Now I know that I should use a table spoon instead of a really big spoon if I want 24 cupcakes instead of 12. It took me a half an hour to fill up 24 baking cups but at least I was able to borrow my neighbor Nora's cupcake tray because I only have one and I would of had to bake 12 cupcakes at a time instead of 24 at a time. When they were ready the cupcakes came out beautiful. My mom and Jessica were happy about how nice the cupcakes turned out. Jessica did the honors of putting frosting on each cupcake and they all different colors because my sister used food coloring. Rainbow sprinkles were also added to make the cupcakes look even prettier than they were. I borrowed Nora's big tub aware to carry the cupcakes in to bring to Anthony's school. Jessica and I also brought Capris sun juice pouches and goodie bags I made the night before for all the kids in Anthony's class. There was one thing that both Jessica and I forgot to bring and that was a candle. I couldn't believe that the both of us forgot to bring a candle for Anthony's birthday cupcake. Oh well things happens and people forget sometimes which is why I believe nobody is perfect. Anthony's party at school was too short and Jessica said she nevers wants to do a other school birthday party ever again. I told my sister not to do Anthony's party at school however I had my birthday parties in school as well but they were longer and better. Anthony had a doctor's appointment on his birthday which is such a drag but at least he got it over it. I waited for my sister and Anthony to come home that way Anthony can finally open his birthday presents. My mom gave Anthony a new video game called Wii Play for the Nintendo Wii, I bought Anthony Whack a Mole a game that you whack a mole with a mallet and it lights up. Anthony really likes it because he likes to hit stuff so that game is perfect for him. My boyfriend Angel gave Anthony a surface charger with two rechargeable battery packs for the Nintendo Wii. Jessica was happy with that gift because now she doesn't really have to buy batteries for the remotes anymore. Before my family cut a cake for Anthony I had to run to the library to return Around The World in 80 Days on DVD before the library closed because October 13TH was the due date. After I returned the DVD on time my mom drags me with her to the supermarket because she didn't have a clue what kind of cake to get for Anthony. I really believe that my mom would be so lost without me sometimes. My mom bought Anthony bought a chocolate cake with marshmellow icing which Anhtony likes. I still can't believe that my youngest nephew is four years old but he is still my baby.
Sunday October 4TH, 2009 was my 22ND birthday. That's right people I'm 22 years old. I can't believe I'm 22 wow!!!!!!!!!! I began my birthday with my mom giving me a birthday present. She gave me lip gloss, nail polish, a little pink heart shape bag to keep my lip gloss in, lotion and a body mist from the oh la la collection. My mom bought those nice things from Victoria Secrets. Before my birthday my friends gave me my presents early. I got a beautiful necklace and matching bracelet and a cute pink Hello Kitty plushie. I got a few phone calls from members of my family wishing me a happy birthday. I went out to brunch with my 2ND older sister Jessica at this restaurant/bar called Uptown. It's located at 89TH street and 3RD avenue in Manhattan. The food was great and Jessica enjoyed her Bloody Mary's. Jessica made me order a peach flavored champagne with a cherry in it. I tried a sip of it and I didn't care for it so I gave it to my sister. After brunch my sister and I took a walk to 86TH street and 3RD avenue because that is where the new at&t in my neighborhood is located at. Jessica wanted to get me a new cellphone but I didn't like any of the phones and I'm sorry to say the razor had been discontinued which is not good. My boyfriend Angel met up with me and my sister at the at&t store and gave me my birthday present. Jessica wanted to get me a real present since she hasn't had time to shop for my birthday so Angel, Jessica and I went to Barnes and Nobles because I wanted books. My sister bought me two books from Barnes and Nobles and they are Around the World in 80 days and The Arabian Nights. I've already started to read The Arabian Nights and it's a great story so far. After my sister bought my gifts Angel and I walked back to my place and I finally opened my gift from Angel. My sweetheart Angel gave me a round box filled with different cookies that I like to call fancy cookies. I like my fancy cookies very much. Angel and I left for time square because that is where I wanted to go for my birthday. We met up with Angel's friend Justin at Toys R US and looked around. I wanted to buy this set where you paint a bowl, plate and cup but Toys R US was sold out. We also took a walk to midtown comics on 40TH street and 7TH avenue because I wanted to buy Peach Girl Change of Heart but it was sold out due to the sale Midtown Comics had between the 24TH and 30TH of September. The three of us had dinner at a Japanese restaurant and the food was OK however they really should cut off the fatty part of the meat more often. I hate the fatty part of meat and pork because it's gross. Later on Angel and I were by ourselves and we went to Whole Foods which is a supermarket that sells healthy food to play Yu Gi Oh. I lost the duel but I don't really care after all it's just a card game. I arrived home at 9:55 p.m. and my neighbor Nora bake me a banana cake for my birthday. It was really good and my mom seems to enjoy it even though she hates bananas for who knows what reasons. I would just like to say that I enjoyed my birthday this year and I look forward to my birthday next year.
