How can one celebrate one's birthday meaningfully? Aside from holding a party. Any suggestions? :)
GO TO CHURCH...
yep i agree go to church first..
surprises, surprises, surprises!!!
spend it with people you love..
do something different.. and unique.. kanang wapa nimo nabuhat in your previous years.. and be responsible..
go to church....
instead of having a party for yourself
do it for the less fortunate ones like children feeding sa usa ka barangay!!!
yes, going to church. i thught of distributing food and other edible goods to less fortunate folks, street people, but sadly this year i don't have the resources for that.
it would be great to do something different, but, hmmm, i wonder what that might be... :lol:
celebrate with your loveones
simba..pasalamat nga nag bday pa...
it depends how old the birthday celebrant will be.
kids- party gyud
teens- ask them what they want to do
bf/gf- surprise! do things that uv never done b4
or just simply ask what they want to do if ur not sure
thank God for another year first...
then do something crazy... like swimming in nude with ya friends and celebrate.. ;)
I like this idea. Indeed truelly different and worth to try.Quote:

I won't call it meaningful... but once, I celebrated it by taking a shower full of scented candles... (lighted of course) ... wala lang, trip lang nako... and fulfilled na ko ato! bahala na wala ko'y gift nadawat... I'm used to it anyway.. :wink:
Going to church juy 1st priority
yep, go to church and thank HIM for everything :-)
meditate and take a look how have you been doing for the past something years and of course give thanks to our dear God for blessing you with another fruitful year. :-)
i agree. do something new. something u've been curious about before but didn't find the time to satisfy the curiousity. then look for people who u are sure to have a good time doing that same thing with you.
this was how i spent my last birthday:
i spent it with friends from my hometown and we went on a roadtrip to San Remegio. we bought fish, nylon strings and shrimps. the nylon strings and shrimps were for fishing. we went fishing in the fishpond. kinawboy kaayo among fishing equipment. that was all we had, nylon, a hook, and the bait. we caught quite a few. i caught three. then i relaxed on the branches of a Sinaguelas tree. whew. that's all i did. i didn't even help with the cooking. :D
one suggestion would be to spend it in a place where u spent a part of your childhood. bring people u know there. they are sure to have a good time. seeing other people's smile and hearing their laughter on your big day is quite fulfilling.
go to church
treat your family, friends and your love ones
then INOM till you drop.
^hahahaha, pa.inom jed? pude sad....
well for me jst simple....
Attend mass, thanks for the blessings and another year to go through.
Celebrate to your family and freinds (gather all your closest frens).
Give smiles to them.....
wala nako nag ceblebrate sa ako Bday since 1995 (pagtungtung nako dire sa sugbo)
hangtud karon nga minyo nako, wala lang gihapon...
for me, wala lang... mao ra gihapon nga adlaw...
i even told my wife pag monday( dec 4 , Bday) not to give me anything, kung naa man siya gift, ipalit na lang para sa amo baby. heheheh
but syempre, CHURCH jud ko first thing in the morning...
i thought so tooQuote:

this year i totally forgot about my birthday. I jumped out of bed looking dazed and confused and my kids greeted me with a kiss and a hug and said happy birthday! i just stared at them and it dawned on me...that's right ha, its my birthday.....i think the older you get the less you think about it. Went to church and just thanked God for at least another year i'm still in good health.
Birthday ritual....yes of course, visit a church, or magpa mass ka for your birthday or someone else can request a mass said for you then dagkot ug kandila. And your prayers are especially the most powerful during your birthday. Its when you can ask God for all the blessings. So importante ang imong birthday. For every candle you light in church sends flickers of light in heaven like stars that signifies you and your prayer intentions. So always remember to attend mass or light a candle and visit a church and pray during your Birthday.
^^heheheh.. it's funny coz that really happened to me also, i almost forgot about my birthday.. if not for the greetings that you guys did in the forums.. nyahahaha.. thanks guys..
ako kay.. mag celebrate ko mag cge lang kog kaon.. :lol:
a fren of my bro's celebrates her bday by giving food and used clothing to children at SOS... i think that's one sure way to celebrate one's bday meaningfully- share ur blessings!!
for me, it is my usual habit to celebrate birthday nga mo-leave anang adlawa...
para nko ang meaningful na bday ky to spend w/ the special people in my life..bahala na way hikay..
try to forget ur b-day.. then eventually u will feel how much it really means to u..:idiot2: :D
magpamisa ka at a specific mass sched then imong simbahan.. thank God for everything and offer everything back for His glory. :angel:
ako i make sure that a part of the day i spent it with my self... tinitreat ko sarili ko for movie, spa or whatever i have in mind na i feel something that makes me "complete" haahaha unsa centrum... really, no kidding!!! try it! give time to yourself naman even a portion of your day!!! d ba nindot!
stay happy....
burn something big ...and try to put it out..hehehhe
simple lang gud....kaon, inom nya kanta kanta,...ok na kaau na nako....bahala ug maka utang utang total panagsa ra man sad na sa usa ka tuig....pero ang utang 5 ka tuig bayran....faets
go to church and thank God for all the blessings received the past year and for the opportunity to have another year added to your life...
then if you want, you can do feeding at gasa sa gugma sa mabolo... the people there will really appreciate it...and it won't cost as much as a jollibee party...
leave sa trabaho
simba
kaon
inom
get a blueberry cheesecake: good for 2
get a candle ( kanang tag piso! )
switch off the lights in your room.
light the candle.
don't make a wish.
make a prayer.
don't ask anything in the prayer.
just say THANK YOU...for everything.
then, share the cake w/ ur Mom.
( she never had something that good since you were born, you know! )
:-)
pa-misa sa church..
den tagay dayun buong magdamag with your parents!
Question: Importante sa inyo nga i-celebrate inyong birthday? what would you like to do on your birthday kung kamo pabut-on?:confused:
nindot jud kung naay party pero dili na importante para nako. basta lang makatalk or spend time ko sa akong family and friends. pinakaimportante kay dapat makavisit ko sa simbahan. pasalamat to the Man who gave me life.
gnahan ko mag celebrate. pro agad2 lang ko sa kwarta.. if wala aw walai handa sad. FAET! hehe
a dinner at some nice place with family and close friends will do, parties aren't really necessary, lisod na ang panahon, dili dapat pataka og gasto
maguwang lang sa panihapon gud paytz nana............

hmm, not necessarily you will celebrate your birthday every year. make it every other year or depends on your decision.
pero don't forget to thank the Almighty for extending another year of your life..
all u hav 2 do is to be happy on your birthday, and pray

nope... basta lang maayo ug lawas ok na na
sa akoa, dili man, ang importante, sadya or happy ang life,,,
no , lisud ang panahon karon dapat practical ta...
Yup, important. Dili man tanan makaabot sa ilang birthday. It's a blessing from God, and I would not want to take it for granted. Dili man sad bongga nga celebration uy. Something small pero intimate, with my family and close friends. Another shot at life, surrounded by people you love - what more can you ask?
uu.. ky once in a year rah gud nah.. hehe..
dili man as long as maayo lang atong lawas..payts na kaau nah
