My 2nd Nippon Birthday

It was my second time to celebrate my birthday in Japan; first was 2 years ago.

A weird fact about me is I love preparing and celebrating other people's birthdays, but I don't like doing it for my own birthday. Usually my birthday is just an ordinary day, nothing so special. But I'm glad that my family and friends always make it meaningful through the little things they do to make me happy, from simple greetings to birthday cakes to lovely presents.

When I woke up at lunch of April 25, I saw a cake on the table. My aunt was at work and only my grandmother and little cousin were at home with me. The cake was delivered by my aunt's friend whom she asked for a favor since she's at work. I thanked my aunt when she called to ask if I have received the cake.

Then I cooked spaghetti and spring rolls. We all had dinner together and I blew my cake candles. Gosh, I just turned 25. Mid-20s, quarter-life, what else? Time really quickly flies. I don't like getting older because it feels like there are lesser things I can do everyday. But of course, we can't deny the reality.

 dinner in pajamas haha!

then a spontaneous sesh with friends

The next day, my aunt went half day at work so we can go out. We had lunch at an authentic Japanese restaurant, then we went shopping wherein she got me a new Coach bag. Then we had a Yakiniku dinner wherein we spent around 25,000 yen (or Php 12,500) for a meal of 5. That wasn't even a buffet!


my new Coach bag (sorry, it's very simple haha)

 Yakiniku!

yum!:)

So that's how I celebrated my 25th birthday...simple yet meaningful.
