You Do Not Like Celebrating Your Own Birthday

[sarsingkit]

Anyone here who does not like celebrating birthdays? Or am I just weird? I am not even an introvert but I just do not give a fuss about my own birthday. I am totally okay with movie marathon and eating pizza on my couch in my pambahay.

Ako hindi ako nagcecelebrate ng birthday. Sa bahay lang ako pagnataon na weekends and sleep maghapon. Kapag weekdays naman papasok lang ako sa office at dedma sa mga nanunukso na manlibre ako. Nagbibigay lang ako ng 1k sa team pandagdag sa fund for our team anniversary since nataon kasi na birthmonth ko nagfall ang anniversary namin, so yun na pinaka-treat ko. Kahit pagbirthday ng anak ko hindi kami nagpaparty, out of town lang kami or eat out lang. Hindi talaga ako mahilig sa party or malaking handaan.

i'm the same, i don't like celebrating my own birthday, same here, don't really want to make a big fuss.  i do my normal routine, if it's weekday i go to work.
to TS, if you think you are weird, then i guess some of us are too

Medyo OT pero even sa own wedding ko (if it will happen in the future LOL and malamang civil wedding ito since magkaiba kami ng religion) gusto ko destination wedding and it should just me, my groom and our parents. Kung aattend siblings namin ok lang but if not ok lang din since lahat sila naka-base na abroad. Basta first family lang namin ang nandun. Ewan ko ba basta ayaw ko ang feeling ng center of attraction ako sa lahat ng bagay.

I don't either. I used to blog and biitch about it every year.

I hate being reminded that I'm old, and I always hide from friends on my birthdays and say I have a "family birthday dinner" so I don't have to buy drinks.

My siblings, their family, my mum and I are not into big celebrations. Hindi nga rin kami nagbabatian pero we are close. Every two weeks kumakain naman kami sa labas. My dad's different, Filipino men gusto lagi may inuman, very different from my brother. At work, I've told them no cake for my birthday but still someone will bake one which I appreciate anyway.

[sarsingkit]

Yay! The reason why I am asking is because every year, my husband insists na maghanda ako on my birthday. The only time na pinabigyan ko sya is during my 30th because fine, it is divisible by 10. Haha. He finds it weird siguro na I am not into celebrating my own birthday. Naalala ko lang, nung bata ako at school, ayokong ayoko kinakantahan ng buong class ng birthday song. Haha. Wala naman akong choice so I just always smile and say thank you but deep inside, I feel awkward.

Same here, i don't really celebrate my birthday. Even when I was in school, ang gagawin ko lang was to treat my friends to eat out, yun lang.
I just don't like to entertain visitors at home... Dinner lang with family ok na ko dun.

Naiba lang last year, i had a McDo birthday party pero shempre adults ang visitors. lols!
3 kami ng cousins ko nagcelebrate nun so game na game naman ako. Puro relateives lang invited tapos very limited pa.
We just wanted to experience how it feels to have a kiddie party. At least na-experience ko kahit minsan lang sa buhay ko. Ok na yun

di rin ako nasanay mag celebrate. ni hindi nga rin ako sanay na may nag gi-greet sa kin tuwing birthday ko.. na aapreciate ko naman pag may bumabati but siguro hindi lang ako ganun ka showy na masaya  ako at may naka alala ng kaarawan ko.

OT:

pano kaya kung halimbawa yung mga katulad natin na hindi sanay mag celebrate ng birthday eh biglang mag cecelebrate ng birthday? halimbawa birthday ni TS (haha!) then pag hahandaan natin mga subscriber ng thread na to magugustuhan kaya ni TS? or magiging masaya kaya ang celebration? just my thoughts... hehe!

[nocturnalnerd]

I don't mind if I won't celebrate my birthday and I would love to do nothing or do a movie/series marathon of some show I like. Actually, I also hide my birthday in facebook, I don't like anyone greeting me juat because fb notified them! Haha, I'd appreciate it a lot kung naalala mo from you own XD

[SaffiyahEnglish]

I do not like celebrating my birthday either. Ayaw ko kasi maging center of attraction at nahihiya ako sobra kapag binabati ako or kinakantahan kasi hindi ako alam magiging reaction ko. Pinipilit pa ako ni mama na i-celebrate birthday ko.

[cosmochick]

count me in. This is where my husband and I differs. He likes celebrating his bday. I do not. For me it's a waste of money. Buti pa travel na lang.

[badw33d]

i don't think this is weird. i don't celebrate my b-day too 

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

Same here, Nanay ko natataranta pag b-day ko, ako chill lang ordinary day lang sya for me 

[mrsonthego]

Me too, I dont like too much attention on my birthday. I'd treat my family and friends, yun na pinaka bongga hahaha, pero kung pwede lang me time lang ako sa bday ko

[mysterioza_me]

Since i don't celebrate my birthday naga-allot na lang ako ng funds for travelling para sa birthmonth ko. Atleast 2 out of town trips, madalas nasa beach ako pag birth month ko. Mas masarap bumyahe and magrelax kesa magpainom ng barkada, sila lang nageenjoy since I don't drink.

[twinxz]

I don't celebrate my birthday too!!! Back in elem, HS & college days, I'd be absent on my birthday and just stay at home, attend mass that's all. Now that I'm working, nobody knows my birthday so I'd go on leave and stay at home, cuddle with my husband, and some takeout food for the family and close friends. hahaha!

[fashtag]

Not that I don't want to.  Before, may staff talaga ko na very thoughtful then nung wala na siya, the person i trust at work hindi talaga thoughtful.  Magaling and maaasahan sa work and all pero pag dating sa pag bati bati or pag alala ng birthdays or kahit pag bati ng christmas wala talaga.

Otherwise, just like most people, I would appreciate birthday greetings or surprises if possible.

Same here! I don't like celebrating my birthday either. It's another normal day for me lang din.

[kvandenhaak]

I prefer a quiet bday celebration meaning just like a normal day. But I don't mind attending other people's bday party. Ayoko kasi ng ako ang centre of attention. But I am grateful every year na nadadagdagan ang edad ko.
