Birthday Blues

My birthday’s coming up and I am not the least bit excited. In fact, i am not looking forward to it at all.

Unlike my previous birthdays, I have no plans whatsoever for this year. My college friends insisted we celebrate, so we’re having a drinking session on the eve of my birthday, which I expect to end early, since its a weekday and almost all of them have work the following day. Other than that, nothing…

I am swamped with work, so I think I’ll end up having a date with my laptop on my birthday. How pathetic.

Its not the first time I’m having the birthday blues. I remember I would have tantrums on my birthday in previous years, when I’d rather sleep through the whole day than celebrate with friends or family. Just last year I had a birthday celebration and noticed that of all the pictures taken at my party, only 3 photos had me in them. I was probably just sitting in one corner then, watching my guests have fun… But my birthday blues are usually short-lived. A birthday cake, whether home-baked by my mom or bought at a store, would somehow make me feel better.

A friend would ask me each year what I would like for my birthday, and I would give him the same answer every time: “Cake! It isn’t a birthday without cake!” He’d still give me another gift aside from my request, but really, the cake would be enough…

That’s probably one reason I’m feeling sad these days. I don’t think I’ll have my cake this year…

And knowing that I’m turning a year older does not make me happier…
