Rico said to me today that "it is the greatest birthday ever" and that it "felt like a two-day party." He especially wanted to say that when he finally paid for the Team Fortress 2 items using the card that he received.

For Destructionatore's birthday (those who don't know him is just Rico's nickname), he received $60, a Wii game that approximately costed $20 and two $25 cards (Vanilla Visa). The Vanilla Visa cards truly affected the whole birthday because with it Rico already decided on what he wanted. And he wanted Team Fortress 2 items from the shop to not only receive "weapons of awesomeness", but to also become a premium member.

At 4:00 when Rico went home, he decided to find where his gifts are. Just like the usual, I had to play the piano. Mom and dad sang so fast that I made too many complex mistakes. But no one cared. Rico was seeking about his presents, trying to find what he wanted. Mom told me to do it at the end, but I told her that Rico wanted it now. So, what do you expect?

Mom just received Rico his birthday gifts.

Destructionatore was excited and hopping about, eagerly waiting to get his TF2 items. He added the TF2 items to the cart, and used his present to pay for it. It didn't work, so what did that mean?

Pretty much of his birthday "day" was ruined. It was totally disastrous, as we went to Red Lobster. While I thought it was OK, mom and dad didn't like it, with the food being too salty and flavory, but they said "at least we tried it for the memories of Rico's birthday..."

The next day, which is today, Rico was kind of upset that the card isn't working. When I returned home at 3:00, I decided giving it a try again, seeing if it finally works.

It worked. Just like what Ate Jennie said, you will have to wait 24 hours if the transaction is not working. I yelled, "Guys! Guys! Guys! Dude guys! Good news! Very good news!" Of course, since I was speaking of TF2, Rico asked me what all of the commotion was and I told him to finally worked.

Even though it wasn't easy making him happy, Rico started jumping and hopping about.

"It is the greatest birthday ever."
