birthdays are one of my favorite thingys.
the one day that is just yours.
whether you wanna throw a big party or a small intermate dinner,
a huge celebration or just a private gathering,
it really is up to you cos its YOUR day.
but what happens when its not your birthday but someone else's?
well, that changes everything.
you must make sure that you get them the right present &
not some last minute crap.
find out what they really wanna do, since it is their day and not yours.
and make them happy.
it is called a happy birthday for a reason, you know.
i just like to surprise them even it they say they don't like surprises.
like... putting together a surprise party. something like that.
but what happens when you really have done everything and there's nothing left.
well, you listen.
listen to them mention things other friends plan to do with them.
listen to them mention places they wanna eat at.
listen to them mention authors they enjoy reading.
listen to them mention things they'll never have the guts to do.
then you go and do it with the birthday kid!
this is how you can surprise them & keep them happy.
happy birthday!
p.s. my birthday is coming soon, so listen.
