Birthday celebrations are one of the best things in life do you agree? Although there are many occasions such as anniversaries, holidays, fiestas and graduations, remembering the day you were born is really special which only happens once in a year.
In my entire life I only celebrated a birthday party once, I think I was at the age of one at that time which I can still remember a picture of me ruining the cake by smashing it with my bare hands and eating it. For us celebrating birthday parties is an expense most specially when you are just living in a middle class family, we see it as very unnecessary.
For us a great meal, a greeting and a nice big hug from each member in our family is enough to make us feel special during those days, We don’t usually spoil ourselves with gifts and luxuries because we believe love is the most valuable thing that money can’t buy, so it is really rare for us to be celebrating parties.
One of the advantage of not celebrating birthdays is that we don’t have anything to worry about entertaining visitors, most specially cleaning up and washing dishes which I really really hate the most but one disadvantage though is you can’t invite friends to come over.
It’s not that I hate celebrating my birthday the fact is just I have nothing to share but say thank you when someone greets me. For me saying thanks would be enough I guess but one thing I like most when birthdays are coming is getting invited to a party simply because it would be another sumptuous meal for free, do you agree? Well it’s easy getting an invitation but the difficult part is getting there.
I was once invited to a party and it was during summer, as expected it was hot during that season, so I was donning my Sunglasses all the time. It was just unfortunate that on the same day I had my car repaired and my friend lived in a big village so I have to walk a hundred meters or so just to get there. The sun was up and shining bright during those times when I finally got to my friends house I was swetting bucket. Well it was a good thing I was greeted with a cold drink and a good ventilation whew!. I was also greeted with familiar faces and familiar food.
Speaking of food It was great, just as I expected it was like fiesta. Most of my favorites were served and specially the hot egg soup that totally fogged up my Reading Glasses which gave me a good reason for me to take it off.
After giving the gift and having a great meal I have to walk another hundred meters to get out of the village. Alhtough the day was almost perfect, rather than going home directly I had to go to my Optometrist to have the frame of my Plastic Reading Glasses replaced because one of the hinges broke off after I sat on it. Well it just show everything is just not perfect even goo days can come out bad.
