Wow, I am surprised when one of my colleagues PM me on my Facebook account because our room ( we have 2 associates in one room) is closed. I am busy online so they know better way is to send me a PM. They told me to open my door because they bring a surprised for me. Doubt if it's true so I open my door and I am surprise with the big cake they bring and the name of our Hotel written with it. I am amazed with this new family that I belong. I am very thankful for the management for valuing my special day.
As I mention to my other previous discussion today is my birthday. I am very happy because my colleagues accompanied me in celebrating it even I am away from my real family. They are all now my new family and I am proud of them.
Is your company doing the same?

Hey Eric, yes mate it's an uplifting way they showed to me during my birthday and in returned I will also show this to all people around not only for my fellow associates or my family but to all people. I already did this to my friends and classmates before while I am there in the Philippines. Everytime my friends and classmate having their birthday I am the one who initiate to have a small party or drinking session. Now, they remember me because it's my birthday and they want the day to be with them but I am away from them a thousand miles from home. LOL

You are very lucky to have colleagues like yours. It's not common in our area. However, it was already a tradition in our company which started 2 years ago to start giving tokens to birthday celebrants. 2 years ago, it was a 4 inch cake. Last year was a mug and a pouch bag.

Happy birthday, wow, you're new family really do cares about you. Glad they made you happy.
In my case, I'm still and student co I have no company yet, but I'm happy still that my classmates and friends in school never fails to greet me on my birthday.
And those I consider my closest friends in school likewise exert efforts to surprise me, or if not they made sure my birthday would be very special when I'm with them. :)
Birthdays are surely nice to celebrate when we have people who cares for us a great deal surrounding us.

When I was in the Philippines all my friends are there to greet me on my special day. We've been together the whole day until early morning for drinking session. I received their txt messages and they remind me what we are doing everytime my birthday comes. They really missed me and the group because when I leaving they no longer have time to get together for drinking session. LOL
