i booked tickets already and had all my schedule drafted in my Starbucks 2011 planner a week before my birthday which is tomorrow, August 20,2011. I had it all made out and I'm a bit excited about it actually. I've been itching to tell my plans to the world but i am scared that fate would hear it and might intervene and ultimately ruin what i had sorted out so it was best for me to shut up. well, here is the list of my plan for my 5-day birthday holiday.
