my birthday

So here I am again, sitting in a coffee shoppe making useful my idle time. What am I to write about now, well it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago and am trying to figure out what I did special on that day. First and foremost, I am thankful for that day as I again was able to celebrate another birthday with my family and friends. Was it any special, well I did get greetings from all over the world, I was surprised at the amount of greeting I got through a very popular social networking site. Am glad people remembered, I received greetings as far south as Australia and as far north as Canada and somehow everything else in between. I got SMS, emails and tweets, v-cards, ecards and wall posts. How much things have changed, I would normally get a phone call or a birthday card. Once I even got a telegram, but that was such a long time ago. Nowadays, in between the work related emails and the personal SMS you get the greetings as soon as they sent it, the only drawback was that my phone kept on sounding off and later vibrating since I get everything on my smartphone.

Was I able to do anything good on that day? I did sort out things at work, did not attend any meetings and just had dinner at home. Well I did do my good deed for the day, I gave way to other drivers on the road and did not curse anyone. That is amean feat if you are driving in Manila.
