Upcoming 30th
My 30th birthday is coming up, and unfortunately, as I mentioned in a previous post, I am not looking forward to it. Just thinking about it brings back horrible memories of what happened on my birthday the year before. I can't even begin to explain how I dread it. (I don't dread turning 30, BTW. I would LOVE to leave my 20s behind!)
I had told J straight-out that I did NOT want to celebrate this year (too soon?), but I would LOVE to watch the Aerosmith concert on May 8. I love Aerosmith with a PASSION. I have always told J that I can miss all concerts, but if Aerosmith comes around even in a nearby country, WE HAVE TO WATCH THEM! Kat must have sent them for me on the exact date I needed them, haha. Seriously.
I don't like being reminded that the date is approaching near though, but dear J has been on my case about my birthday gift. See, here's the problem --- J is obsessed with getting me the ultimate gifts for my birthday and Christmas. He lives to see my shocked face. I think I'm the same a lot of times, we love giving each other the shock factor. It doesn't even have to be expensive, but we love surprising each other. But this year J's super careful because this is NOT the year to give me a bad gift. But honestly, this year, I don't really want or need anything. I'm not interested in branded bags and shoes (I outgrew the interest.) I just bought work clothes in Hong Kong last month. I don't need a new Ipad or Laptop (well, maybe a laptop, but that's too much.) I don't want a new cellphone because I can only work with a blackberry.
This puts us in a tough predicament. J spends hours everyday googling the inet for the perfect gift (masyado naman obvious kase!) and I honestly tell him I don't need anything. Earlier in the car J explained the whole history of La Mer and where the ingredients come from. I really had to stifle my laughs because you could tell he was fishing.
This is what happens when you give in to all your wife's wishes the whole year round. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I suggested that we go to Pagudpud (I went there with my college friends, and it was gorgeous!) or go surfing in Zambales instead. I'd rather travel, be away with my family, then spend on something material. It would be nice to be away from the same places that remind me of last year's events.
I hate to throw a pity party, because I think I've spent more than enough time moping and doing the self-pity thing. But this date just really brings me back to unfavorable memories, and I can't find a good reason to celebrate it. Can I please move my birthday to October?
