My Special Day

 Every year our age is adding and we cannot hold it back. Today is my birthday and I am 35 years old. I love the five attached with my birth age. Five is my lucky number and I am hoping to have a fortunate year.

Few days ago, I was making a decision of what foods should I prepare for this occasion or what cake should I buy.  I usually don't celebrate my birthday because for me birthday preparation gives me anxiety and lots of decision making  which I am not fond of. Going back to this my birthday celebration, after long thinking and arguing with myself  and consulting my husband  about the cake ,I would up buying a red velvet cake which I recalled I had mentioned it to my husband a few months ago when we ate this cake from our favourite pastry house , and speaking about the food, I had just decided yesterday that my husband would cook for me my favourite spaghetti. 

One of the special days that I am looking forward is my birthday despite that as I said I am not fond of celebrating it.  I am  a kind of party pooper, but I appreciate most the surprises. I had my first surprised party  last year and it happened when I was teaching summer class. My assistant Pooky and together with my summer year 5 students surprised me with this  lights off, singing a birthday song and a fancy milky cake. 

I love  my birthday month. For me, June sounds sweet and bold. When I was young, I often searched for its meaning. It is always defined as this, those who are born in June are intelligent, serious , fearless and dependable.  I lead my life leaving with these conviction. However, at some part of my memory, I still heard my mum used to say " you are born in June that is why you are  hard headed. You are not intelligent but you are  wise. " I hope to get wiser as I get older.

I do not know it is because of too much  tea caffeine I drunk last night or just excited of my birthday that I got two hours of sleep, and yet her I am writing this thoughts above my head. Anyway, we have one birthday for each year passing by, let just seize the day to celebrate it. As my tita Vergie reminded me that I have only a day to celebrate my birthday , why not give it a simple festive celebration.
