And now, fast forward to the present, it feels like I am super old. The person who used to break rules just to learn her lessons, now starts making and setting rules. The person who used to look up to other people as role models now has to work on becoming a role model for others.
Last Friday, July 15 I turned another year older. I am now a bit more older and wiser (I hope). This year I plan to focus on savoring each moment of each day. I will live or at least try to live with the same excitement that I once had, after all we are always a day younger today than tomorrow right? So anyhow, enough with the mellow stuff.
Here's some pictures from my birthday. I still can't believe I'm already 27 years old! Like woah!
My two cousins, Chloe and Mikey.
smoked salmon in butter oyster sauce, california maki, roasted pork, and tempura
Shrimps in butter and garlic sauce
Mango daquiri, blue margarita, and mai tai
Two is always better than one. =)
Teaching the kids how to drink. hehehehe. I'd rather they learn from me, rather than finding out they experimented with other people and end up making a total mess of themselves.
Ugh, I wasn't ready for this one, but the boyfie has cute eyes in this picture.The kiddos before drinking

Happy Belated Birthday!!!! :) I LOVE your birthday dress. It's so colorful!!! I know how you feel. I used to want to grow up all the time, now I wish time would just STOP for a second.
Anyway, hope you had a fantastic birthday! You sure look like you did!

Happy birthday! It looks like you had fun. :) I can't help but think of my teenage years every time I turn a year older. So carefree back then. It's strange how quickly time passes!

Awww happy b-day!
I love your dress!! :] You are so pretty! :]
Happy B-day again Mel!!! It looks like you all had a great time. And, since we met, you've gotten prettier every year--I can't wait for your 30th, 40th, etc. =)
PS - I started a new job (sort of) that has me working til 9 almost every night--even this past Sunday night. Otherwise I would be commenting more quickly!
I really like your insight. I got worried about being old when I was twelve...
Now, I laugh at that. But life's life. And no matter how old you are, 27 or 47 or 87, you gotta give it as best you can. Happy birthday.

Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a wonderful time celebrating.
I remember being 27 (some 6 years ago)
It's it funny the older you get the more wiser you feel xo
Hope you had a lovely birthday!
Happy late birthday! It looks like you had a fun time, I love your dress. Every birthday I also remember being young and wanting to grow up, and it feels like a long time ago. But enjoy being 27!

Happy Belated Birthday! You definitely do NOT look 27!
I like your dress. It is so pretty and perfect for summer :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!! Lady, you are GORGEOUS and looking at you I'd think you were 22, you're definitely young to me :) And all those food photos made me really hungry so I'm off to go eat LOL. Hope you've had a great weekend :)
Hope you had a nice birthday. I'm 27 too, I know it feels so old!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! You look beautiful... and yes , the boyfriend's eye do look cute in that pic! ( :

Happy Birthday! It looks like you had a fun celebration. I try to live the same way you do- having fun and celebrating each day. I'm nearing the 27th birthday too, and I'm embracing it!

oh, it looks like you had a wonderful birthday! i'm loving your dress!
haha, I know how you feel about getting old and suddenly becoming a role model. However, you dont LOOK 27 but have the knowledge of a 27 year old. Aging is like wine - you only get better right? (let's hope so!) I hit my big 2-5 year this year and wasn't too happy myself. Anyways, look great & the food looked yummy!
Age is just a number, honey, the important thing is that you're still adorable!
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Look at all that yummy food! And I LOVE your dress!
Happy Birthday!!
