Every girl dreams of a birthday party on her debut but I guess even if I want to, I can't..
First, my family is not here with me in the Philippines during my birthday which is on August 18. My parents have important business in their workplaces and my brother needs to go to school since the day of my birthday is no holiday.
Second, I'm worried about the money that will be spent for a one day celebration of my 18th birthday. Lots of people are telling me that having a debut party happens only once in a lifetime. I get intimidated sometimes but I don't know.. I'm really worried about the financial status of my family even though they don't tell it to me straight. I can just feel since these days.. I can see them posting photos of some of our stuffs.. and I saw with captions that they are already selling it :( it only means one thing.. you know it..
Third, I can have a debut without my family here but it will be so...sad... I didn't get to dance with my dad... say the things I have inside my heart publicly to my family and some friends.. But I guess even if I will not celebrate my debut, I can still tell them how and what I feel..
I'm so frustrated.. I see a lot of girls.. or more appropriately called ladies, having fun on their debut parties. Having lots of pictures with how they prepared their party, how they prepared for the place, how the celebrant had photo shoot with her different outfits, how there are photo booths on the venue and how people celebrate her special birthday with her. I want to have one too... But I guess I'm asking too much.. :(

hi dear! i can totally relate! lol. i've had my 18th birthday... what i did was celebrate it with the children in an orphanage. :) i know having a grand debut party sounds and looks great... but i really don't think it's practical. a lot of money and energy to be wasted on one night. why not spend it on something worthwhile...? right?
ReplyDeleteYeah lots of money and energy wasted for a night but it will be really memorable though.. Its somehow a tradition of this country to celebrate a girl's 18th birthday. I still don't know what to do on my 18th birthday though but having a grand debut party is... not included on my list anymore :( Hay..
ReplyDeleteAre you living alone here in Philippines too?:D
mine's memorable. coz i shared my blessings to those who needed it. :) you can celebrate it with friends. we can cook for your birthday :)
ReplyDeletei'm living here with my family. :) they asked me if i wanted to have a grand debut party... but i didn't want to. so i said no. :) for like... about 5 times. haha!
I guess I'll do something memorable too on my birthday even though I'm not with my family that time.. I have to face it though its hard.. :(
