This month’s topic at Girl’s talk is all about Birthdays and last week’s topic is birthday wish. I am super late for the Girl’s talk last week and tomorrow would be another installment so before the deadline ends I have to put up my post here. My birthday is celebrated on the second month of the year so is it a bit early for my birthday wish? Hehehe. but since it’s the topic for the week I would still share my wishes.

I wish to celebrate my birthday together with the boys in my life, my husband and my son. Their love and support are more than enough for me. I also want to celebrate my birthday with my family – my mother and my brothers. I wish for good health, peaceful family and an abundant life for the whole family. As for material things, of course gadgets are on my top list, like laptop, DSLR and other stuffs. I also want enough money to be able to pay for the house that we are living in right now, so I don’t have to worry for monthly rents.

To all the July celebrants, happy birthday to you girls, hope your special day is a blast and may your wishes come true.

I am late again for Girl’s Talk but since the linky is still open I still decided to do this post. The topic was about the best birthday gift I have received ever. When it comes to gifts I appreciate everything even if it is as small as a note saying “happy birthday” to me. I have received material gifts from my friends and loved one and I appreciate them all. For me every little birthday gift like a small bear key chain is as special and as best as the big birthday gift I received like a big bear stuff toy given by my husband but nothing can be as special as the gift I received in 2005. I got my birthday gift earlier than my birthday. The gift should have been out in second week but He decided to give me my best birthday gift six days before my birthday and it is no other than my little boy. I gave birth to my son on February 5 and there is no other birthday gift as special as holding him on my birthday which is on the eleventh.

My birthday is February 11 and even before I search for the other facts on my birthday I know that the feast day of Our Lady Of Lourdes is celebrated on this day that’s why most of the people I know who has same birthday with me has a name of Lourdes. World day of the Sick is also celebrated on this day, for all believers seek to be “a special time of prayer and sharing, of offering one’s suffering.
