We Filipinos got it backwards.
I used to wonder why people would rib the birthday celebrant, “Oy, libre naman diyan!” or “Ano merienda natin ha?” Nowadays I’m irked. But yesterday whenever someone would ask or rib me gently, I’d calmly throw back at them the following: “No, I’m the celebrant, it’s my special day, you’re supposed to treat me.” That always stops them in their tracks.
Sigh. Backward people.

Thank you to all who commented in my birthday episode. It was refreshing to be quiet for a change and have you guys yammering away. It was fun. We should do this more often.

OMG! That's so true!
I remember when I picked up the tab for a friend's bday bash in Manila. He was eternally grateful.
People shouldn't have to pay when it's their birthday!
Happy Birthday to the sexy and smart McVie!
I had no idea it was your birthday. We've never met but I had a dream about you, last night. This is how it went:
You were on a ferry cruise with lots of people and you were wondering out loud how the disco hits "Best Of My Love" (The Emotions) and "Got To Be Real" (Cheryl Lynn) sound so alike. And I told you that I don't know why that is but they both sound good anyway. And then I woke up.
Belated happy birthday, sir. I hope you had a great one! :D
@ARTISTMONK: That dream is sooooo cool! Thanks. =)
