Go Shorty...It's My Birthday!

It's official! Today I turned 28 years old!! I'm another year older and wiser. Haha! Ok, I just like to believe and tell myself that I'm wiser, but who knows. However I can't deny the fact that I'm definitely another year older, which also means that I'm two years away from turning the BIG 30! Thankfully, I don't look my age. My co-worker, actually paid me a complement today. No, not just because it was my birthday. Every time we talk about age, she's always in disbelief, as to how old I am. These were her exact words: "You don't look a day older than 23!" Even if she just gave me a complement because it was my birthday, I don't care. Name one woman, who doesn't like to hear that she doesn't look her age!! Other than that my birthday was pretty uneventful. I worked a half-day, then met my family for lunch at a Chinese Restaurant, and tonight I will be heading to the movies.

However, this year my birthday celebration was low key. Normally, I head out to L.A. or Hollywood to some fancy restaurant with all my friends, and then hit up one of hot-spots to dance our butts off. For some reason this year, I didn't feel the vibe for the big birthday bash. Must be something in the air, as I'm not the only one among my friends who opted out of the big birthday celebration bashes. Some of my friends took my out to dinner at this awesome Sushi place in Costa Mesa. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of that day, but i do have some photos from today, my actual birthday. =)

That is ME ~ with my new purse and the flowers I received.

The obligatory "chow mien" ~ a Chinese custom and tradition to eat chow mien on your birthday to ensure long life!
