Word choice

Had my pre-birthday celebration a few hours ago.  My close friends and I headed to Movenpick Hotel Doha to feast on seafood and, well, just to plainly overeat (as we always do haha).

Although not a big seafood fan myself, I would say the food selection was commendable enough.  The smoked salmon was my personal favorite and I liked the california maki and the other maki-looking, rolled-rice-with-something items they served on the buffet area.  Plus, we’ve tasted heaven through their mixed fruits with cream dessert (not sure what the actual name of it was), which was certainly a great way to end a hearty seafood meal.

I did not celebrate my birthday last year and yeah, it actually felt nice to have a celebration this time.  A realization occurred to me–it’s important to celebrate the very root of one’s existence (wow, lalim).  And I don’t mean celebrations via expensive birthday parties or the gifts that come with it.  Over and beyond these temporal jubilations, the celebrator must contemplate and be thankful for the year that has just passed and have faith in the greatness of the years that lie ahead. (syet, eto mas malalim)

My last statement is a bit strong and idealistic, but that’s just how I think birthday celebrations should, first and foremost, go.  Then again, that’s just me.

Enough of this.  Advance happy birthday, me.

Notwithstanding above crap, I still welcome birthday gifts.  And surprise (read: expensive) birthday parties are just as great. LOL
