someone special in my life...
I'm so sorry for not posting so long..I've been celebrating my b-day from last thusday till date..lol and the celebrations are going to continue..till I find some other reason to celebrate life!
This year I did not want to wait for someone to make me feel special...especially a significiant other. This year I had no boy-friend to send me red roses. This year there were going to be no romantic conversations and long phone calls. This year there was going to be noone to whisper sweet nothings in my year and kiss me to bed.
BUT, this year there was someone special in my life. This year there was me. And I decided (unconsiously) to make my day/s special for myself.
I went shopping alone for my b-day dress. I purchased a nice tight black blouse. Later when I was cleaning my closet at home, I found a new skirt (lovely super thin black-beige skirt) which I had purchased from malaysia last year but never worn. I wore that combination and I looked absolutely gorgeous! I got so many compliments and I felt so easy with the super thin skirt and the tight blouse.
To begin with I distributed cakes at the dialysis ward on last thusday...with all the nurses, technicians, patients who come for treatment. On Friday, when I was returning from work, with black forest cakes I saw my computer guys working late so I visited them and gave them the cakes. Then when I was paying the rick guy, I thought why shouldn't he have the 1/2 kg choclate cake I have purchased? So then I gave it to him. On Saturday (my birthday), I cut a big choclate cake at home and a huge flower bouquet arrived from my parents and my sister. In the afternoon I was busy recieving greetings and wishes from friends abroad. In the evening, I took many croissonts choclate pastries to my martial arts class. My sensei and the guys enjoyed it a lot. On Sunday, I went with a big choclate cake to grandmom's place and I cut the cake there and celebrated with my cousins, uncle, aunt and my beautiful grandmother. My cousin bro gave me a lovely tea-green blouse and I wore that. On Monday, I got the boquet from my company, which is given to every employee on their b-day. On Tuesday, I cut a huge black forest cake with another girl in my team (whose birthday it was on tuesday) and we invited all the bosses and colleagues for the party and it was great fun. On Wenesday, I gave cakes to the two maids who keep the loo clean and who are extremely fond of me. The next day, they brought two little gifts for me too..a little show-piece and a little choclate bar. On Thusday, I was just very happy as the muslim uncle's blood pressure had dropped and he refused to be taken to the ICU. He said he wants to look at my face. When I went to meet him, he spoke for a few seconds to me. The doctor then took his blood pressure and he said "perfect 120/80". Gosh! this seemed like magic to me and I was just so glad. On Friday, we had a party(friday happy hours) at work and I was busy singing with my team so that was fun. On Saturday (today), I have just come back from the most magnificient picnic of my life!
So you see...I've made my days special! I've been gifting myself by gifting others. Feeling glad by spreading gladness around me..in whatever ways..sometimes smiles, sometimes cakes, sometimes laughter. The funny thing about this is...it comes back to you tenfold!
This b-day I also went up to people who I like/love/adore and I told them that today is my b-day and it won't do if you just wish me, I want you to give me a nice tight hug! Be it the super boss of my company (who I totally adore) or my colleagues at work, or my cousin brother. For the very first time, I was so relaxed when hugged and I felt really really good. And what's more I gave a nice tight hug oozing with love back!
Thank you friends, for wishing me, being with me through my laughter and tears. Thank you for the lovely cards and personal mails. Thanks wdky for making me feel SO special by wishing me happy b-day on your blog on my b-day. It just thrilled me SO much. I'm still awaiting a lovely magical mystical gift, I'm yet to recieve from someone I totally adore and am SO crazy about!
How lovely that my day became so special that I'm still celebrating the spirit of my b-day till now. This must've been the longest b-day celebration ever! The most loveliest too. And the most simplest.
Well..that's how the b-days are when you are with butterflies, blue skies, green moss, golden suns and moonbeams. You dance in estacy all the while. Drunk without drinking. Walking in air. Floating in the clouds. Being kissed by flowers and hugged by the soft breeze. The parties are organised by invisible fairies and blessings are showered by angels with silver wings. Stars are lit up to brigthen the nights and the navy blue ocean sings the sweetest songs with its musical insturments, the waves.
Sometimes when you feel you're going to be all alone, the whole universe celebrates with you!
And sometimes you spend all your life searching for someone special only to realise that, that special person is you, yourself.
