20th Birthday x

Better late than never right ? 

I know everyone says this, but truly, I cannot believe that I have turned 20! Leaving my teenage years behind just like that POOOF! 

When we were younger, oh how we longed to be this age! To be legal, to go out on our own, to party, to have a boyfriend/girlfriend, to get a car, to actually learn what the forbidden 'sex' was really all about ! 

Practically to do what grown ups did! 

AND now that we are actually here,we come to realize that it isn't anything that GRAND right ? 

As we all wish we could be that young little girl/boy again, where picking a colour for our picture drawing was a tough decision and a kiss on the forehead from mum/nan/guardian, whoever looked after us, was all we needed to feel super once again and all our troubles seemed to perish! 


But being a grown up isn't all that bad, it has it's perks! Finding yourself is one and becoming your own person! Getting your first car and finding every excuse to go out for a drive and pick up your girlfriend and have a sing along to your favourite song feeling invincible behind the wheel! 

But hey, we can't turn back time and so we have to make the most of it, so for all of you out there, that are in you're 20's, live it up cos these should be the best years! I know I am haha ! 

Here are some pictures of my birthday weekender, not that I remember much of it! But I know that I made sure I made everyone in the club know it's my birthday during the countdown, when the clock turned midnight, the drinks came flowing in! My plan worked (evil laugh)! 
Thursday 

Friday 

Me and The gorgeous Matilda 

Saturday the official day haha ! 

Pressie sand cards from my loving family, friends and bosses ! x

In love with my MK Purse and ring thanks to my bosses and their adorable children and my wonderful friends x



Got this gorgeous Zara dress all the way from Malta from the best Mumzy and these cute plain ballerinas x


Body lotion and perfume from my Aunty Jacky x

This fab ring from a lovely couple and their gorgeous son! x


These are screenshots of what my brothers wrote in my card, hilarious! Love them to bits x

My eldest brother Alexander, 12 years old !
And this little munchkin Julian, 10 years old! Well someone's holding a grudge haha! I still love you x

Dinner and champagne at Evelin's before we hit the port ! 

All dressed up and ready to party, looks like the wine and champagne has started working !



                At Olivia Valere! 
Coincidence or faith? Champagne had my surname on it and I didn't even buy it haha ! 

If anyone is guessing what went down on Sunday ?! I was hibernating in my BELOVED bed haha! Stuffing my face with my favourite Ben and Jerry's Chuncky Muncky cos I'm 20 years and 1 day old and awesome.

Good morning, please leave me alone haha !
Good evening, half serious hungover smile, hands off my ice cream buddy !

That pretty much sums it up! 

No doubt I missed my family, not waking up at home and being able to hug my dear parents, having my brothers roughly jumping onto me showing their rough brotherly love and my grandma giving me her warm hug and kiss! 

But thanks to today's technology I got to Face time them! They too celebrated my birthday, nan baked a cake with my name on, a good excuse to eat cake!





And not to mention my closest friends, whom I would have partied like crazy with, Maltese style !

 But theirs always a first right ! And that was my first birthday without them but spent with other great people whom are also special to me. 

Here's a video my mum made for me, which without a question had me in tears !

Cheers A x
