birthdays.

so there were 3 birthday celebrations going on.
one is a direct friend. 2 others are secondary friends. friends of my friends.
at least for one of those secondary friend. there is a surprise party for him at a chalet and i think to have friends who are willing to sacrifice their time and spring a surprise birthday party for you, and to organise a celebration for you. it is really a blessing indeed.
on the other friend. i wasn't exactly the first on his invitation list. he didn't exactly say that a bbq was for his birthday. but more of a gathering. what was surprising was that there wasn't much help on his side to even coordinate a bbq. he had to buy his own food. arrange his own tables. prepare his own food. marinate his own chicken. start his own fire. cook his own food. clear his own mess. i did what i could. and i think a lot of things didn't really went well for him. like accidentally burning the tables. how bad can a day be for a birthday boy? and it's kind of sad that he couldn't get help to even cook the food. i think what was really sad was when he told me. max. look like it's a hot date between the two of us.
not exactly what i would want to hear from a guy. but even a blind man could tell the disappointment in his voice as he said those words...
