My Birthday has come :) and gone :(

So my birthday has come and gone... and like my friend told me... A birthday is not an accomplishment at least not on the part of the celebrant. If anything the celebrants parents should be congratulated (I guess if the celebrant is a good child)

Anyway, I love birthdays,. I dont know why? Maybe its a girl thing? We must have been pulled aside sometime in our childhood and trained to love birthdays. I know I do. I was sharing with a friend earlier that whenever I meet "Mr Perfect for me", we would take time off (a week, a long weekend or something) the week of our individual birthdays to go somewhere (because I love to travel and I am assuming/guessing/hoping that he would also) and do something special for each other. I feel like the older I get, the less time I get to do stuff for me, and the more responsibilities I have. I think making a firm commitment to certain dates regardless of whats going on around me means that there are higher chances of actually making things happen.

I also see birthdays as a celebration of life. Almost like a personal thanksgiving day... I know I have a lot to be thankful for and for that I love birthdays

This year, I feel like almost everyone on my phone book called me... It may be because facebook helped them :) out or maybe they actually remembered but either way, I appreciated all the phone calls and the text messages and the emails. I love you guys too....
