Yep yep.... another BDAY for me.... it is suffice to say that it will come and go - without so much as fun fare, celebrations or acknowledgements -- just like the past few years.... am pretty much used to it... and actually have come to welcome it -- not because am getting older so am trying to just forget the day -- or am I??? LOLs! It is mostly because I have accepted the fact that living so far away from most of my love ones - family & friends - makes it soooo much harder to celebrate the occasion... the last few years of living in Taiwan, less and less friends remembers my BDAY... actually last year, only a couple of my friends managed to remember to send their wishes.... and let's not even talk about my family -- with them, am to remember all their birthdays - but no one is ever expected to remember mine - and their excuse: I am so far away.... HAHAHAHAHA....
But I really do not fault anyone... nor do I even give it much thought... we all get too busy with our own things - work, family, life in general - so it gets harder and harder to keep up with everyone.... I do TRY MY BEST but am pretty positive I have forgotten to send a BDAY greeting or two here and there.....
NO DRAMA HERE really!!!! Just putting feelings into writing to mark this day.... LoLs....

Birthdays are a big deal to me. It is the one day a year I can remember to let people know I care about them! Of course, as I have gotten older, it is getting harder and harder to remember things! But all I can do is try! Belated Birthday wishes -

Hey Uncle Rudi! A very belated Happy Birthday to you!
I'm not the MySpace / FaceBook / Xanga / blogger type, but since you have some blogs, I guess it's another good way to keep in touch.
Dude, I hope you and Auntie can come and visit again sometime this year. That one day you were here (Last year? Two years ago? I don't even remember! :p) just wasn't enough especially since it was the first time we met you.
Hi Michael... thanks for the BDAY wishes... and dropping me a line.... Hope all is well with you and the family... we will see about the next stopover visit k.... love to you all....
