#25. Birthday: Part 1

It’s dad’s birthday and I was just so grateful that he was okay with staying at home, cutting cakes and video-calling my sister and her kids. Theo live abroad, so our birthdays have been getting a more virtual significance in the past couple of years. We’re not a birthday-celebrating-family, but having living apart from each other and not having the options to visit them this year, in a tiny little way must’ve upset my parents. So, we’ve been trying to make it a bit more special in our own little way. We got a Vienetta, the most sought after ice cream cake this past week. It’s grand.

Side note, Glenn Fredly passed. So many people had been passing this year. There’s so many loss and hardships. I wonder if it’s indeed more compared to the pass, or have we been conditioned to pay more attention to news that grief us—hence we actually are more in the look for them. It’s such a hard year to fathom. Each month feels like a whole year of its own.
