THE BIRTHDAY: DO'S AND DON'TS

Wuhuuu we have finally arrived in the year 2013!!! How awesome is that guys? One thing for sure, time do fly ever so quickly and now all of us authors are turning 20!!!! *I still can't believe it...* suddenly we have a 2 in front of our age...huh. Well, moving on, since we are still in the first month of the year so I thought that it will be the most appropriate time to do this post ^_^

             IT'S ABOUT CELEBRATING SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY!!! yeay FYI, one of the authors here just celebrated her 20th birthday. So, I wanna take this golden chance to just wish her a very happy birthday. May all her wishes come true, find a handsome prince to take her breath away, stay cute, stay the way you are (which is crazy, funny, lovely...and all the nice things that you can say) and just may you be truly successful in the days to come.

           Now, when we talk about birthdays of course there would be the question of wishing that person, giving presents, and maybe for friends the typical PRANKING!!! yeah.. i know we all love that last part. Plus, we want to make sure that we do it in the most perfect and memorable ways possible so that the person will always remember and cherish it forever even though it is just a simple "Hey you, Happy Birthday". But do we have the real guidelines of doing these stuff? Sadly the answer is NO. hahahha because of this, I've came up with my own rules and guidelines when wishing someone a happy birthday. Maybe these tips come in handy one day. Who knows?

WISHING

1. We all do have a lot of friends. Sometimes, we just can't keep everyone's birthday in our calender. So, here comes the handy danty MR. FACEBOOK. If you happens to be online on that day and saw today is someone's birthday, just be nice and post "Happy Birthday" on their timeline.
2. The one thing that I really hate is when people just posted hb. I mean what!!??? Is it so difficult for you to even type H-A-P-P-Y-B-I-T-H-D-A-Y???? It does not even cost you 3 minutes, let alone A DAY!! So people, don't be so lazy. Type properly...birthdays only happen once a year for everyone.
3. If you happens to be the very best friend of the celebrated person or very close friend, I don't think saying happy birthday on their timeline is good enough anymore. You have to do more than that I believe. Give that person a text message through their phone or better yet CALL THEM!! jgn nk simpan sgtlah kan credit kau tu :P Never mind, sacrifice a little bit of money to give joy and happiness to others. 
4. Forgetting someone's birthday especially IF you are the family member is totally UNFORGIVABLE!!!!!!!!!! take note of this
5. If you are so busy to have a chance to wish happy birthday and you are late for like a maximum 2 days, just present your apology sincerely and tell them the reason why you are unable to wish him/her on their special day. They may be angry with you but they will definitely forgive you.
6. Don't even bother to wish if you are 3 weeks and more late....nampak benor x ingatnya.

GIFTS

1. Buy something that is truly from the bottom of your heart. Coz it will show
2.  Do not buy things that you definitely know that he/she hates.
3. If you don't feel like giving anything, then don't. To me, it's already enough to wish that person happy birthday if you truly meant it. Friendship does not define by big gifts.
4. Recycling gifts - If you have a birthday present from a long time ago and still in its greatest form and you haven't used it and you wanna give it, MAKE SURE I repeat MAKE SURE that the thing does not have something written on it like "Especially to you *your name*" on it. It would look very bad...eeeerrrrr
5. Do not give gifts according to friendship rank. Eg. Bestfriend - humungous teddy bear, common friend - ball pen. (Well i do it sometimes myself...so...let's remind ourselves back OK?)
6. Buy something that even you want it for yourself. Even you are graving for it. Only then you will feel 100% satisfied.
7. Please remove the price tag. TQ

 PRANKS

1. Do not plan anything that will only cause danger, rage and anger to the birthday girl/boy. If they don't like it, then don't do it. Just because it is their birthday does not give you the green light to do anything to him/her especially things that they hate.
2. If the prank involves any flour, water, eggs and so on (anything that can result in a very messy outcome) please do clean the place back, TOGETHER!!! Don't make the face "I don't know" with one another and ended up the birthday person cleans it up.
3. Be moderate when pranking someone.

Emmm...I think that's all for now. have fun celebrating any birthdays!!! C YA PEEPS

A MAN POSTED SOMETHING ON A SOCIAL WEBSITE:

MUSLIMS THEY ARE TERRORISTS. THEY DON'T BRING PEACE, THEY BRING BOMBS

Anonymous A: WTF!
Anonymous B: Rude af
THE MAN: Haile Selassie rules!

ME: You might wanna check this out before you make some conclusions about other religions

THE MAN: Muslims strap bombs to themselves. Terrorists
ME: hahhahhaa that's funny. So, are you saying that people who strap their body with bombs are terrorists? Wow. Then, you should check the stats for "straps bombers" in the US and UK. You'll be surprised. Doesn't that make these countries terrorists too?

MEN & BRANDED ITEMS

Sorry to have to bring up this matter to the public but it has been boggling in my mind for like ages now and I have only realized how perturbed it is just until recently. Annoying..annoying..annoying and WEIRD on top of everything. So this is how it goes.

        Today, my father and my lil bro just came back from a holiday trip. They bought some candies, local specialty pastry and the important thing is, they bought us (my big bro and I) a pair of jeans each. I was very excited because I'm just lacking jeans myself. So it's a good time for me to finally have a new one. Then, we tried it and as expected my lil brother bought the wrong size for us. The funny thing was, just right before we tried them on, my father said, "Anything wrong with the jeans sizes BLAME YOUR BROTHER!!!". hahhahhaha ok...and plus, he thought I'm size 29!!??? while he thought my big bro 27!!!?? HELLO!!?? I AM NOT THAT FAT!!! how could he?? I'm hurting already..hahahha

         Anyhow, back to the story...my jeans fitted emm quite ok on me just that it needs a little cutting and maybe a belt would do the trick. However, my brother he can't even get the jeans up to his thighs. FYI, they are LEVI'S. So, this is my opportunity to try them on. and TADAAA it fits prefectly. Perfectly I repeat *I told ya so to you know who... =_=* Swinging my hair back, I said swiftly," You just have to give that thing to me. There's no way you're gonna fit in them". My mom intervened with a smile," Looks like it's your lucky day today." You bet it is!!

          When the 2 brothers left the building (house) my mom stroked a conversation with me:

"The new jeans for you..what size are they?"

"29"

"Is it Ok?"

"Emmm...well it's OK but it needs to go to the tailor coz it is way too long for me and maybe the waist is a little bit off too"

"OK. But you've tried Joe's (not real name for my big bro) and..??"

"PERFECT! I think I might as well take that because I don't think he'll wear it anyway.."

"I think you should. Speaking of which I think he got a pair of jeans but he never wore it. I think you should take that too if they fit you"

"Huh? Really? Why wouldn't he wear it?"

"Because it is not up to his standard. Same goes with Billy (not real name for lil bro). He won't wear anything if that piece of clothing is not near branded even if it's nice."

After that talk, then it just hits me. These branded things and guys don't just happened to my 2 brothers but it also occurs to many of my guy friends. Huh. Quickly enough I posted this question on a social website. " I NEED SOME CLARIFICATION HERE: Is it true that most guys only wear branded items ONLY!! ONLY!! Other than that it's a big NO NO for them. WHY!?"

           Surprise2..the answers are quite shocking and they came from male respondents too. One guy said..I don't know..another one said..maybe because his wife does not pay any attention to him (that's funny and unexpected), some said VERY TRUE but the one that really shocked me the most is "because they don't have zuhud". WHAT!? Zuhud = asceticism (To know more click here ) 

          First of all, what does all this has to do with zuhud? And then he said, do you even know how zuhud people wear, eat, and how they spend their money? Emm, I was seriously taken aback..in my mind, I was already thinking, zuhud is not all about that stuff then I replied, "Are you imposing that all males don't have zuhud then? Because I'm talking about most guys and I don't think that this matter has any relation to zuhud *or does it?* I just see this as more to trends these days rather than relating it to religious because I think in Islam there is no such boundaries saying that you shouldn't buy branded items." 

           And then he replied, "No..but it's almost close to that thing *dah pulak...* and plus, there is no girl in this world that would want guys who don't wear branded garments." WOAH!! Talking about bold and big statement...

          That is just so ridiculous..I mean come on, seriously?? Personally, I don't judge a guy by what he is wearing and as a matter of fact, I don't and won't even know whether the clothes that you are wearing are branded or not. Because to me, once you wear it, you wear it and have to say, based on my experience, the more expensive the clothes are, the uglier it would get. ahhahahahha hope nobody kills me after reading this. Like this one day, 2 friends (boys) came in the class and one guy asked this girl. "From your observation, which one is more expensive?" and the girl said, "I think the shirt guy A looks more expensive than guy B. His shirt (guy B) is just so plain" "Nope, you're wrong. Guy B's shirt cost like RM100++" Jaws dropped...

          Well, my point is, as a girl *I AM A GIRL..n nobody will argue with that* we don't care what you guys are wearing as long as it is pleasant to the eyes to see. We care more about your personality. We have the tendency to look at the guy's attitude first rather than judge what he is wearing that day. If you are a nice man, kind hearted, down to earth and all that nice things, then whatever that you wear will look just equally as good as your personality. So, don't worry too much about clothing...if you have the money, then it's OK for you to buy branded items otherwise don't. 

P/S: Save money for other more beneficial things and still I don't have the solid answer to this question: Why men loves branded items? hahhhaha any good answers??
