When it comes to birthday, we do not wait for anyone to remember our birthdays. We make sure that everyone knows it.
This is a Filipino tradition.
Traditionally speaking, we throw our own party, invite as many people as we can and cater to them. If we don’t, no one will remember it.
For the month of October, there are so many celebrants, and we just have one big birthday party. We celebrate it on the day of the party animal, the youngest, and that’s not me.
On my birthday,
Ba-da-bing.
I usually skip town.
Do whatever I want.
and
Wear whatever I want.
Gosh, it finally feels good to grow up.
What do you do for your birthday? How do you treat yourself on this extraordinary day?

How fun! Perpetua! That is so cool. Happy Birthday! 🎂🎊💖
Much to everybody’s delight, Amy.
My family has loads of things in June…we usually try to do just one get together as well.
You just have a big family.
I guess I don’t wish to grow up. I’d rather regress! 🤣
My birthday is in December. So any birthday without Christmas decorations included is good with me!
Weelll…. you must might have to celebrate in another country that has no Christmas season. Yikes.
