Ever since i have been a little kid, all i wanted was a surprise birthday party. you know, something like when people jump up from behind the sofa and the doors and the lampshade and yell “SURPRISE” and out comes a cake lit with candles. alas, that can never happen. why you may ask. well, that is because my birthday happens to be smack-dab in the middle of summer vacation, when everyone is either out of town vacationing or I have no excuse to forget my birthday.
So anyways, a friend of mine decided to have this party at her place, and like everyone was invited. I was a bit hesitant because she lives kinda far, and how would i get there anyways. but she insisted that i have to be there. but since i didn’t have any ride, i could not go to her place. and the night before her party, she was obviously mad, and tells me that it was supposed to be a surprise birthday party for another friend of mine and me can u believe my surprise. i mean, a surprise party, for moi! amazing. so anyways, i didn’t go.
now another friend of mine left for NJ to visit her aunt. She told me that she would be gone for the whole summer. She was online a couple of times, and sent me some pictures. Now, the same story as usual, most of my friends are just out of town, so I can’t really have a grand party or anything. but the other day, while coming home from the uni, i imagined that i saw her and another friend of mine, walking down the street. I could not believe it. I mean, couldn’t she tell me that she is back in town?!?! so the next time i saw her online, i told her that i had a beef to pick with her. she asked me what she had done this time. and so i told her what i saw. and she gets angry. i couldn’t understand why would she be mad at me? so she tells me that ** it was supposed to be a surprise for my birthday. that she would have come to my apartment at like 11 in the morning and surprised me that way.** again, i could not believe it. another surprise, ruined??? something that i had wanted all along. and i ruined it. darn it.
so there we go. 2 surprises ruined. looks like surprises aren’t meant for me. but, i will not give up hope. i still have time.
I’m going to hit 30 next month and I always fantasized that if I was married, my hubby would throw a surprise bash for me but since that fantasy has no way of coming true as I am not married yet, I am going to be taken out by family and friends to celebrate. Quaint and nice.
