Flotsam & Jetsam

OK it’s weird to declare that birthdays suck since I’m holding a party next week but sometimes I wish my birthday will come quickly and go. I’m tired of planning the guest list and bugging people to rsvp and receiving people’s opinions on who to invite. Hell, it’s my birthday not yours. Also, don’t come if you are so unwilling; just don’t tell me you’ll have to inform me later cos you have not decided yet.

Everyone talks about the joy of giving and receiving presents. I guess it’s true when you give a present to someone you like and when the person receives it gracefully and happily. But nobody mentions what happens when the person is totally unappreciative of your present and worse still, reluctant to take it. How cruel can one get? To reject a friend’s well-meaning gesture and kill the happiness she gets from seeing your delight when presented with a gift. Undeserving people who seem to blame their friends for getting them a present and whining that the present is not what they want. Hello, nobody deserves such rude and insensitive treatment especially if you call them your friends.

Right, I shall end my incoherent tirade here. It feels good after a bout of cartharsis.
