I think this year it will be an unforgettable birthday for me. Actually it already passed almost one week. Because of the serious earthquake lately, May 19th became to the first day of the mourning day in my country. And it's also my birthday. Actually every year my colleagues and I would go to have a good meal at noon for everyone's birthday. But this year is different. We canceled this plan. I ate the instant noodles instead. And at night I cooked and we ate at home as usual. I care about the earthquake much more. I told people not to give me any gifts. I have already had enough and I can't think out what I want as a present. I would appreciate if they donate the money to the earthquake rather than buying a gift for me. I don't need anything special. But Sichuan people are different, they need so many things. I really hope their lives will be back to normal soon although I know it's not easy at all.

Thats so nice of you. My birthday was last Feb 16. I celebrated it at home. I invited a few of my close friends and my suitor. It was a simple celebration for me. Me and my friends talked a lot while eating. After they left, my suitor was left behind so we could talk. I then told him that I would like to be his girlfriend. He was so happy and so was I. That was the most unforgettable birthday.

We do have the same date of birthday. and I don't know if I will feel sorry for that day for you. you should thank God for he gave you another year to live. Just like what I always do whenever my birthday comes. this would be my unforgettable birthday because this is the time I celebrated my birthday with my father. I am so happy to be with my father now. I know that we have lots of challenges to face, and i am so at ease because I know that I serve as his strength. and I thank God, for he gave me another year to celebrate. and I will never forget to thank my friends and my boyfriend for celebrating my birthday with me. my birthday isn't that prestigious unlike the other birthdays, but for me this is.. and I thank God for you..for you are still alive. I know that God has its purpose for you. just keep fighting and everything will be fine. -its better to be late than never. belated happy birthday for the both of us.

my birthday celebration is pretty 'routine'.. a family dinner with birthday cake... gifts... depends.. but i dont really expect any... i think what you did is very noble and thoughtful.. to ask your friends to donate to the earthquake victims instead of spending their money for your birthday is a very good thing - i am sure this wont only become an unforgettable birthday for you.. but your friends will remember it as well... good for you !! 'Happy Belated Birthday'

Hi youless! I am really sad that it has to happen on your very special day but I feel more sad of those people affected by the earthquake. I hope and pray that they will recover soon. I really don't have any unforgettable birthdays that was filled somehow with sadness. Take Care and God Bless! Belated happy Birthday my friend!

My birthday's have always been the same. I despise them. I don't like getting older because that means more problems. But, my sixteenth birthday is my only favorite one. It was the last year my grandmother was alive. She was so happy that day when I turned sixteen. Just thinking about it bums me out. I wish I could of had more time with her. Birthdays aren't the same anymore.
