For the past 17 years I have always had bad birthdays. I know its only 17 years I have many more to go, but it seems that something always happens on my birthdays. One year I spent the whole day in the hospital cause my grandma was dying. Another year my whole family forgot becaue my "drama queen" cousin was planning a wedding and going berserk on everybody. This year was my 18th, and thats a big one. It had to be the most amazing birthday ever. Had a nice party set up, a party tent outside with torches, etc. And I got alot of nice amazing things! A laptop for college (big relief, I was scared of not being able to afford one) and my puppy Bella from my boyfriend. My aunts both forgot though.. aside from that I have to say my 18th was my best so far, Ill never forget it! What about you? Do you have any good/bac birthday experiences. Id like to hear your stories!

I think I am lucky guy. I was born in a Children's day, which surprise and delight me very much. And all my birthdays were fulled with happiness.However,the best birthday story I want to share here is not mine but my a good friend's. She is beautiful and sweet girl but a little fat. It was her 20 year old birthday, I and our roomates prepared a speical gift for her. We spent lots of time to purchase a big T-shirt and invite 100 handsome boys sign their name on it as well-wishing. Of course she never known it before until the last second. She was surprised and moved by it. After,she told us it was the best gift she received and never forgot.That moment I got a special feeling that give something is happier than receive something.

I had a really good birthday not this past year, but the year before. My parents bought me a dog. I had wanted one, but didn't even have enough to get one from the pound. It costs over a hundred dollars to get one just from the pound! So they got me a 3/4 Chihuahua and 1/4 Corgi mix. I named him Sherlock and I love him so much. It's just him and me in my apartment so he's like the cutest little guard dog ever.

My best birthday was my 40th. It was my best because I had decided that I would be debt free and leave my job to start my own business. I reached my goal and quit my job, started working for myself. It was the greatest decision and accomplishment of my life so far.

Actually my parents were giving birthday party to all my friends and relatives till i was around 12 years. Then we were just celebrating my birthday within our family. On my 18th birthday I was suppose to celebrate within our family. But i was supprised to see all my friends come to my house with birthday cake, chocalates, gifts and all stuff. I think that was my best birthday to date.

My best gift was from a former friend. We don't make much money working at Target part time, and being that Juicy Couture is my all-time FAVE designer, she bought me a Pink keychain that came in a pink Juicy Couture box. It wasn't an expensive gift but the thought that counted.

Just wanna let you know it is my birthday today and my 52nd at that! Wish me Happy Birthday my dear! Ha!ha!ha! Well, all my birthdays are in general all jolly and meaningful celebrations, bountiful yummy food and drinks for my family and friends and lots and lots of gifts and wonderful greetings and wishes. For as long as my beloved family is with me, all my birthdays will be forever remarkable. I really am so glad that there was never a birthday of mine that was forgotten by my loved ones and the best gift would always come from my husband. I can no longer choose which is the Best from among his gifts because they are to me all BEST.

The best birthday I had is when I was in 8th grade going to Great times. Great Times is my favorite acrade game place always like to go to. My favorite part is when I ride on the bumber cars with every body else and played other games. The best gift I got for my birthday is a Play Station 2, my fisrt system to get.The best part of Great Times is I get to see my Dad side of the family because I don't get to see them that often. but now most of them are scatter around the United States.

The best birthday I had was 3 years ago. Every year, me my mom and my sis celebrate by eating out and enjoying the rest of the days. It was at that year, 2005, when we shared it with the rest of the family, my aunt, uncle and my cousin. Aside from the excellent food at at 5-star hotel, (I've gotta say, I almost bloated. The food were excellent and it was a buffet. ), it was one of the birthdays I had when we were complete. My fiancee was even there with us. It is really one of the most memorable days so far. Take care!

the best birthday i had was something that was made by my family members. i really don't expect material things for my birthday. as long as someone greets me, i'm fine with it. however my family did something different. on that day (my birthday), i saw my family cooking food and making greeting cards but i have no idea if it was for me or not. they were not talking to me the entire day and i felt like everyone was mad at me. i was cool with it and went out with my friends instead. i was tired when i came back home and to my surprise the whole village has no lights turned on! when i finally entered our house my brother said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" really loud that it scared me but i laughed after because he told me later on that it was a surprise birthday party for me. then our neighbors started to come over our house with foods they cook themselves then later in the evening we had fireworks.
