MARCH 21. It’s my birthday.

AND it’s Johann Sebastian Bachs birthday.

AND it’s Prince Charles and Dianas wedding anniversary.

It all adds up.

Once, a wise man Mark Twain said: Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

I absolutely agree with you Mark, high five!

In my case, the older I get the younger I feel, like Benjamin Button:)

Cutting long story short, my twenty something (ahgam!) birthday was celebrated far away from usual Angel high street bars, somewhere in the south peek of Cambodia. Putting away my fears of ‘none of my friends friends gonna be here’, ‘because of the fact one, no one will care and it won’t feel special’,  it turned out to be one of the best days ever!

Day started with 9AM wake up call to iron my best swimsuit for birthday pool party, soon finding it’s actually raining outside. I was here for two months and it never rained! I mean it’s a high season. And of course March 21st just has to be different. Because it’s Rita’s birthday. Ty-pi-cal.

Plans got quickly rearranged and party thrown at Serendip premises. The following sequence of events: Drinks, balloons, Cake, more drinks, Dolphins, JJs, crazy dancing, more drinks, my hotel (which I had for the night as a treat for my birthday:). Woke up as a wiser, less mature and not older at all. Happy 2*th Birthday!

With this jolly note, here are 13 things you didn’t know about me:

1.I know 4  languages. Two fluently; English and Lithuanian and others barely; Russian and Spanish.

2. I classify myself as ebay pro, just under a thousand feedbacks. Most of my life baggage were bought for bargain. I sell, buy, trade, exchange.  I had to stop selling because of totally ridiculous restrictions that were placed on my account by ebay. As everybody knows, trying to talk to a human at ebay is like looking for an alien life form in space. So I had to give up which ruined a perfectly fine relationship. Such a shame.

3. For a woman, I own ridiculous amount of makeup. Ridiculously little that is. Last I counted, a few lipsticks, mascara, concealer and eye liner. That’s it. When my foundation passed the expiry date, I do not know. The big box of ‘I need this in my life’ but never even opened it doean’t count here, does it?

4. I have collected a few degrees – I mean the educational kind. I have done Bachelors in Business Law and International Business, Masters in Law, NVQ level 2  in childcare and TELF. One day I would like to do a degree in psychology.

5. I have a photographic memory, which is a result of serving 9years in Music conservatory. Which leads to number 6—>

6. I play piano for as long as i can remember myself existing. And by play I mean I actually have a degree in music and not just sitting at the piano playing ‘I’m blue’ with one finger.

7. Courtesy of working as a nanny for sever years, I have watched every single episode of Charlie and Lola, Fireman Sam and Octonauts 20 times over. I took part in buying all available merchandise of the characters. I can identify captain Barnacles, Tunip and Kwazii among others. It’s sad really.

8. I hate sharing my duvet. No exceptions!

9. When I was 12 I used to write a diary for 2years. Every day. And reading through it now makes me want to put a bigger lock on it or rent a safe in Fort Knox.

10.  I can sell a sh*t with a candle on top convincing it’s a cake. Natural marketing skills. Enough said.

11. I used to have a chicken as a pet. Yes, in a four bedroom flat of a third floor. Just because my parents never let me have a dog or cat, just those dozen hamsters, two snails and a fly.

12. I am addicted to Starbucks frappucinos. And it’s hard here in Asia as there aren’t any!

13.  My lucky number is 13.
