My daughter's birthday always falls within the enrollment "aftershock" season. Meaning, I have less funds for her birthday, unless I have saved up or have incurred payday advance to spend.. But more than what I have always given her during her birthdays, is the smile and the love that she always gives me in return, regardless of how much or how less, I spend for her birthday. I am blessed to have a daughter who is always happy.. I think, even if you do not give her anything, for as long as you greet her on her special day, she will be very happy. She likes the feeling of being remembered.. Such innocent and simple joy..

Last year, she requested that I prepare her favorite Spaghetti and Chicken meal to share with her friends, and she wanted some pink heart balloons..

And yes, we had them, plus cupcakes ordered from both My Cake Store and that from a friend of my friend Hazel Ampong Francisco.. Her classmates liked the cupcakes.. And I'm glad they did.. It was No birthday party (though we gave out loot bags)-- just snacks in school. I didn't want to disturb their class, plus budget was quite low. Anyway, we had another Pizza, Pasta and Chicken treat at home, and that was it.. But we did celebrate again during the weekend, at the beach.. So she was happy.. and expressively she tells me her feelings every time. She told me that when she turns seven, she will want a bigger birthday celebration--- a party. And not on her 6th. So I think I am saved because she is yet going to turn six this week, and I have a simple treat for her this year.. Again, NO Party, but she will have something memorable to cherish.. I am sure she will love it even if it is simple..
