For most of us, our birthdays may be just like any other day. However, it is also up to us to make it exciting.
Call me thick-skinned if you must, but this year, I called my close friends up to remind them that my birthday is nearing and we should all get together. In the end, I did receive a couple of treats and presents. Looking back, I came to realize that I don't mind forking out money for my friends' birthdays too, but there are times when I may forget, so a reminder is always helpful.
Lesson Learned: When you do not tell others of your birthday, there is a chance that they will not remember the occasion. :eng101:
I have been learned.
I usually feel a bit bad about reminding others (
IF THEY DARE FORGET!) but now I wont so much.
