I can't believe it's already October. My birthday month is so over. As always, September is a busy month for me. Every year I always make sure that I enjoy my birthday month. I always have different celebrattions. Since I have different sets of friends, I make sure that I get to celebrate with them. Birthday is such a big deal for me. I feel like everything will go right if I celebrate it with a blast. My husband may not always be with me on my birthdays, but I still have reasons to celebrate. I have family who's always been so nice to me, and of course my friends.

For this year, I I had three celebrations. Three days before my birthday, my friends (the Angels) and I had a simple celebration since the three of us were September babies. We celebrated it at home. It was exactly the same celebration that I was hoping to have. It was very relaxed. It was a night full of girl talk, food, and wine. We were planning to dress up to add more drama but got lazy to do so. Food + champagne + wine + scented oil + candles + music + spa party + sumptuous breakfast = great party. It's great to be with friends and do things that we are all good at: eating and bumming around. Hoping to have more birthday parties with them.

September 8, Tuesday. On this day, I didn't tell anyone in the office that it was my birthday since the people who are really close to me have left that office already. Some of my coworkers were asking me why I was wearing a floral dress on a rainy day and I looked like I was attending a party. I was actually reluctant to wear that dress, but I really wanted to wear something girl-ish. I matched my floral dress in pink and black that I bought from Warehouse last July with my pink Promod cardigan. After office I hurried to go to my favorite church. Then went to Jade Palace. It was just a simple dinner with my family, inlaws, and some of my selected friends that I wanted to be with. All of the people I expected came despite the heavy downpour. Thank goodness. I felt so special.

I belong..my pink cardi and the table cloth! :0

My third celebration. The week after my birthday my HS friends came to my house. Again, it was just a simple gathering. It was our instant reunion. The last time we actually had something like that was like three years ago. I was so surprised that they are not heavy drinkers now. Gone are those days when we were drinking until sunrise so long as we still had money to buy booze. I missed them. We had so much to catch up on. I really look forward to having more time with them.
