Oh, July!

So here comes July. My very month. So I thought I should write something to fill up my July blog entry. It’s a limp excuse, but, I do want to write something because I love Julys.

Joe celebrated his birthday on July 1^st. Canada day, too… so I guess the entire Canada celebrated his birthday, because at the same time they celebrated themselves too. Happy Birthday, Joe, and Happy Birthday Canada! Wish you both the very best.

The 2^nd of July. Such a long day at work. There was this family gathering for all the staff and their families in the brand new swimming pool. So there were kids of the co-workers, wives and husbands, games, prizes and everything. I was almost the only one wasn’t wet. I said, almost. I was almost successful in escaping from being thrown into the pool by the co-workers, when they finally threw a bucketful of water onto me while I was watching the water polo match. I was soaking wet and I didn’t bring dry clothes. Thanks to Steve, such a nice kid, he lent me his dry shirt. Though it was too big for me, at least, I didn’t have to tremble on my way home because of the wetness and the night wind.

However, I broke my own heart that night. It was very emotional. I can’t say any word of it, I only hope to have my heart back.

Another Cancerian’s birthday. It was Endah’s, my cousin. On the 3^rd. I do have some these Cancerians surrounds me. Sometimes when I pause to observe, there are so many Cancers and Leos I know. Perhaps the most in the amount.

Another big, or perhaps the biggest, and the most happening Cancerian is The United States of America, of course, who has just celebrated her 232^nd birthday on the 4^th! Happy Independence Day, and well… happy birthday, America! Speaking of the name itself, America, it reminds me of America Ferrera, the lead actress, Betty Suarez in the Golden Globe Winning Series “Ugly Betty”, one of my favourite TV series.

America Ferrera, just as her character, Betty Suarez, is a descendant of Mexican immigrants in USA, sowing her American dream in the land of dream for many people. So, America, the United States, I wish you understand how meaningful your name may sound to millions of people.

The day I wrote this journal, 5^th of July, is marked with a soft color in my calendar, just as every 5^th of the month. And this 5^th is the 4^th 5. Unfortunately, I don’t have a chance to celebrate it. However, I do thank for the day, 4 months ago.

Badminton! Yay! I finally did it Saturday morning with Popin. After ummm…. 20 years didn’t play? Yikes. I thought I wouldn’t able to play it, but I was! I was still able to play it. It was quite fun.

And still…I’m looking forward to another birthday. A Leonine’s birthday. Mine. At the end of the month.
