Family birthday celebrations
I wasn’t feeling well today but I still went out of the house to go to the mall. We bought some gifts for our sister Grace who’s celebrating her birthday today, September 3. She’s 26. We also bought some food for her birthday dinner.
It’s a tradition in our family to always celebrate a family member’s birthday. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have enough funds. As long as we can buy pancit, that would be fine with us. When we were still in school, my sisters, my brother and I would chip in so we could buy a birthday cake for whoever in the family’s celebrating their birthday. It would be three days or so of sacrificing our school allowance but it’s worth it. Those memories will forever be etched in our minds.
These days, since we’re earning our own income already, there are assignments for each one of us. Who’s going to buy the cake, ice cream, and other food we all love. Yes, even though two of us are already in our 30′s and two are in their late 20′s, we still celebrate our birthdays.
Happy birthday, Grace!
