Three days from now, would soon to be my birthday – my 27th birthday. A friend asked what I want on my bday and what my plans are. I was out of words so I just smile in replied. I was taken aback with his sudden quips. Back in my mind, I was thinking would he make my wishes come true if he knew. Would there be any difference if I say my plans.
Then I was left thinking with those two questions.
What I want? I’m not particular with anything. I don’t even know what I want. I just wanted to feel happy, complete and special on that day. I’m still looking forward for a surprise. A birthday surprise, a happy one. It doesn’t need to be big or expensive. It doesn’t need to be a wrapped gift. Colorful balloons or a bouquet of flowers, will do. Or maybe just a simple warm hug.
I knew what I’ll be receiving this year from my family. My mom would be giving me money as she used to. My sisters are giving another out of the country trip. I felt grateful yet I felt incomplete.
What are my plans? My plan was a routine plan for several years. I will go to Mass on that day. Eat out with friends or just order pizza at home. Somehow, i want it something out of the ordinary.
Since it's too late now for the budgeting and the planning. Next year I want to make it happen. I would like to go on a Boracay trip on the week of my birthday. Maybe a solo trip. But it will be kinda sad. No one will take my pictures ;). But then it's hard to expect that someone will accompany me knowing that it's expensive. I can't afford to treat someone for the trip. Okay i can afford half of it. But then who would be willing to do that.
After sort of planning with the trip, i felt guilty. how could i spend my savings in an expensive trip
