some people say that birthday is just an ordinary day. they said that we don't need to prepare just because it is someone's birthday. do you agree with that? isn't it mean? birthdays are meant to be celebrated because it is the special day wherein all the people know you and talk about you hahaha!

I think that our birthday is the most important day of our life, and so I always celebrate it. When I was a kid I invited a lot of friends, but now that I'm older, I invite a few persons, but I'm going on celebrating it. I like parties, why not to celebrate it? My son is 7, when it's his birthday we always make an huge party, we invite all his friends and a lot of relatives. So, W the Birthday Parties!!!!

I think as you get older, birthdays don't mean as much, certainly not as exciting as when you are a child, you have cakes, goodies, presents and parties, and your friends come over, it's wonderful. When you get older you think it's another year closer to the grave and people don't like getting older. Ever since I started work at 17 I have NEVER worked on my birthday, I always have the day off and that is the way I celebrate my birthday now.

The way I have observed about people who are used to celebrating birthdays, the older they get the more significant it becomes for them. They say that there are so much to be thankful for as they acquire more years.

I celebrate my birthday every year. But not by holding parties all the time. I celebrate it by spending time with my family and attending mass to thank God for another year full of blessings and learnings.

I don't like celebrating my birthday, though I find it cool to plan things over an occasion such as that.

It's about 6 years now that I don't celebrate it, but in a way or the other people around me always managed to make this day very nice for me. Many times, in the month I was born, I find myself somewhere new, with very little experience of the people and places around, but regularly some of the persons I'm in contact with and I'm starting a friendship with, do something for me. In this way, everything is so unespected...So much that I always get surprised even to see that they know the day of my birth celebration. This is really the best way for me

it's my birthday - Happy birthday to me!

I wish a good health and happiness not only for myself but for every people around.
Your topic is in right timing. My birthday would come soon this month of April. I love to visit my friends specially on their birthday, we celebrate with their family and friends. But this is contrary to my birthday, I don't want to celebrate such. I would love to treat it as an ordinary, but I guess it never happened yet. My parents prepare some foods for that occassion then my friends and relatives would come to visit and celebrate with me. If I would be ask, I prefer to celebrate it as an ordinary day. It would make me feel more happy. Sounds weird but this is true and that is the real me. Thank's for reading my response!

Sometimes, If I had the money and the time to prepare for it I would like to celebrate it just like when I was a bit younger. But now, for practicality reasons, I don't consider it anymore.

i'll try to buy myself something nice for my birthday,but i don't usually go for the party thing. i really don't expect anyone to go all out on it just for me.

I like to spend my birthday with at least one other person. This year nobody gave me a gift or took me for dinner and this is what I like on my birthday.

I am glad for each of my birthdays. I get cake and ice cream and often a dinner at the place of my choice. The way the world is the more years I live the more I want to celebrate them since easily I could have met my demise in any number of ways during the previous year. I like my birthday too since on that weekend there is an ice cream festival. A good time for all of us since there is things for the kids, flea maketing on a small scale. The restuarant opens and even my diabetic mom can have ice cream. I like to celebrate my birthday!!

I never celebrated my birthday. At times though, friends and relatives come over when they know that it is my birthday. This is the time when I have to come up with some foods appropriate for the occasion making it appear that there is some kind of a birthday celebration.
