happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to myself!Birthdays -- everybody has one. It isn't that big a deal. Why celebrate aging? Maybe a long time ago when mortality rates were higher, and living beyond 30 is rare, growing a year older is a cause for celebration. But these days, we realise that with longer life span comes greater risk of diseases and cancers, appearances of wrinkles and sagging skin, maybe, birthdays shouldn't be such happy occasions any more.
With age come wisdom. Someone said. Maybe, or maybe not. I'd rather say that with age, we become wiser.
Birthdays have never been a big thing for me. My family stopped the birthday cake and party thing many many years ago (which could of course account for my nonchalence abt it). In fact, the last time I had a cake with candles to blow was like 5 years ago when some nice guy i met in Nepal decided to order a cake for me me and since he couldn't find birthday candles, they were substituted with the big white ones. haha
I am a spontaneous person. Its something i appreciate and somehow it injects a certain amount of fun in my life when not everything is planned out. When not everything is expected. But of course there are those people who need plans and schedules else they freak out. Most of my friends are sort of like me -- thank goodness!
Yesterday was a good one. I spent most of my afternoon surfing and reading a couple forums and came across one on brazilian waxing. Thats something I have thought about doing for 3 years but always managed to put it off. Pain at a cost. But hey, its like the kind of pain that we should at least experience once in our life.
CY: Why do u want to pay to suffer?
: Err.. childbirth is very painful too, why do u want to do that?
Doesn't seem to make much sense now -- the above statement.
After work yesterday, I just went for it. Somehow, as I was on my back, skirt lifted up, and legs in "retire".. it all felt very surreal. Maybe that was why the first rip didn't really hurt that much. I mean, it happened so fast that i didn't react! It was ok. She was good at it. No scream, no tears -- I'm proud of myself!! And for the first time in over 10 years, I got to see my vagina in unobstructed view!!
Happiness is best when its shared. I was very happy with the waxing, i was grinning so much after that... I was proud of it yet I couldn't go around showing it to my friends right? That sort of takes away the joy a little.. (was asking some of my colleagues - female, if they were interested in appreciating it. hahaha no one took up the offer!) I sound kinda sick sometimes huh?
