Birthdays

I've figured out. Rather than posting on livejournal, which has a low traffic, I will continue posting in blogger and if there are, any continuation of my fanfic I will post it there. Hence, this change of link to fit my livejournal name.

And as I had stated earlier, there will be a fanfic written originally by me. Please do comment in the tagboard to let me acknowledge that someone is going to read it. It really encourages me if you do that. I already have the prologue ready, please do reply if you see this message. The fanfic section, when ready, will be posted on my livejournal at www.chivalrousprawn.livejournal.com.

I just want to update this journal up. Hmm, I don't really have any particular topic in my mind right now. By the way, pleaseeeeeeee comment here to acknowledge me that you are reading my journal. Or else it will just be a wasted effort if I wanted to post up my fanfic prologue though. The weird thing is, I'm actually publishing this blog everywhere, plurks and msn. However, looks like my previous blog gained more traffics than ever. Nonetheless, please show more love to this journal because I'm going to update quite frequently here.

Let's see, I'm trying hard to think of a topic here. Alright, I thought of one.

The topic I wanted to post about today is "Birthday". What is birthday? Birthday is, as defined in the dictionary, "The day of one's birth". Hence I wondered, why do people give presents during birthday? Is it because of the fact that "hey, you have managed to live for 16 years of your life without dying, good job.", "oh, let's commemorate the birth day that you are welcomed into this hellish world." Or was it the fact that you just want to use birthday as an excuse to give your friends and family an opportunity to show you love and concern through the means of cakes and presents? Is there really a need for us to celebrate birthdays in this manner? If it is for the former, we already have a day and that is Thanksgiving Day. Anyway, the world has become a place where people take more than what they give. This shouldn't be the case anyway. I'm not implying that I did not commit it or whatsoever, I feel that way and I will change for that idea.

But here I'm not saying that birthday should be forgotten. In actual fact, birthdays are actually very important. Look for your application forms and important data, birthdates are essential for it. It is used for easier recognition and collection of data.

Here I may seems ironical about my words, but it actually does make sense if you think about it. My main point here is that, people, stop asking presents, gifts and wishes from your close ones on birthday. It shouldn't be used as an excuse like what I stated earlier on. If you want to use birthday well, instead go and give people instead. Imagine, if birthday boys and girls would give presents to everyone, won't you receive more in the end? To add on, giving is much happier than receiving. However, this only implies if you REALLY, need birthday as an mean for interactions. Gifts should be giving anytime when you feel like it or to appreciate something/someone.

Hence to summarize the wall of texts up there:
Birthday is important, but not an excuse for asking for gifts and wishes. There are other days for presents and gifts. Eg, Christmas and Thanksgiving Day.

And an point to take along with you: "You should give more rather than receiving more, the joy of giving makes one jubilant. People would respect you more."

Last note, there are other ways to show love and concerns. and please do leave a comment on how you feel about birthdays. Thank you for reading and <3. I'm gay. wahahahah, not.
