I celebrated my last birthday a bit differently. I earn enough money now and understand the importance of money in everyone's life. I have been grateful to god for parents. Unlucky are the ones who don't have them. It gets difficult to understand the difference between right and wrong. You don't learn things in the right age.
So I decided to help some of the slight unfortunate ones. The orphans.
I visited an orphanage and donated 28 kg of basic meal ingredients for them. Since I had turned 28 then. I just donated and left because I cannot face people thanking me. I get kinda awkward when people thank me on my face. I don't understand how to react.
And evening I spent chilling in my holiday home. A very lazy one. Just had a pizza, coke and some me time. I generally don't get enough time to be with myself. Instead of being with too many people I preferred giving some time to myself. Not everyone liked it but I loved it. Hope everyone understand it. A change is good at times.Wish you happy 22nd birthday @yandot. Have a good one.
Thanks a lot! Thanks for participating and explain with us about your story ! have fun!
Before I make any comment to this I must confess that this is a very generous move that's rare in this platform, again thanks for an opportunity to share a view on how my last birthday went.Happy birthday to you @yandot.
It was the 26th day of July last year, I wasn't a steemian then, just a student living his normal life. I had nothing on me to celebrate my birthday with. I got many texts, calls and few gifts from both my families and friends but I never knew something was in the cards for me. To be honest, I've never celebrated any of my previous birthdays before, I only give thanks to God for a successful 365days and looking forward to another successful year. I went for my football training that same evening (July 26th) and guess what!? My teammates already bought some drinks and snacks for the celebration and immediately I got to the field, I was showered with water and everyone congratulated me on my birthday. Later that evening, we went out and had a little get together and that was how I celebrated my birthday.
thank you have to tell about your birthday with excellent! celebrate uoang year with friends is the very beautiful and has a moment of the right to celebrate.
Thanks for great comment!
You're welcome bro! Do have fun.
Happy Birthday 22nd @yandot hopefully your life gets better and more useful. I have a birthday on the 20th of March and two months ago I just turned 21. On my birthday I was given many surprises and gifts by my friends and family. Even my family had a dinner party and invited my best friends to celebrate my birthday. That night we gathered into a great family with great joy. This warmth and joy and togetherness is an event that can not be bought.
Thank you for participating ! Have fun

Happy birthday @yandot, hopefully your age is a blessing and always protected by god. what you are doing @yandot is one of those amazing birthday events and I really like it, usually celebrating my friends' birthdays is invite friends to eat and drink in the restaurants. But I love your idea @yandot. great ... great ... great @yandot
Thanks a lot for your support!:))
Happy birthday day man
My birthday is not always grate hope it will be the best that you ever had
Thanks a lot! Wish you all the best in the future!
happy birthday @yandot
Everyone has a special day in his life, and everyone also has their own way of celebrating it. There are meraiyakan with luxury there are ordinary, but no doubt there is also on the other hand do not celebrate it and even there is not want at all.
But I am among the people in the middle, I look forward to my birthday, because I know that day is the day I am there and the first day to use oxygen which is made rich by God, so always waiting for that day. And now I am waiting for next June but there is no plan for partying yet. A year ago I also commemorated it at a shelter of Rohingya immigrants in northern aceh, I took the time to teach them to read and write and give them a small gift of healthy snacks. Because that day I've got there (older age), besides I also often reflexsi self, reviewing last year usually I took myself to write, sometimes small notes and sometimes poetry, of course for my motivation in living the rest of age. Besides, as my coworkers come home from work my children and my wife have prepared a simple event, eating together and chatting together about life.
On this occasion I pray that @yandot be blessed always by God in the rest of age, may we be the first people who care before others.
regards

Great way to celebrate your birthday @yandot, never seen before on this platform. Either way happy birthday to you, many more years and happy returns
Thank you for your support! I want to give love to my followers :))
Happy birthday to you!!!! :) :) How old are you now??
And yes, my birthday was last January 7, 2018. :) It really wasn't a grand birthday celebration but it was the most memorable birthday I had. My parents invited some of my church mates and my friends and my cousins, aunts and uncles in the house and we had dinner together. :) We don't have that much food but it was just enough. It wasn't just an ordinary birthday because it was birthday + thanksgiving. Thanksgiving because I already graduated college and passed the board exam. And what I love about it is that, they made a tarpaulin for me. :( And in the tarpaulin it says,
"Happy 22nd Birthday Christine Jane! Congratulations for passing the LET. We are so proud of you."
Which was really very touching.. We don't normally celebrate my birthday and invite many people but that was different and it was memorable. <3
That was how I celebrated my birthday. :) Simple but fun! :)
Thank you for telling your birthday story. I am 22 years old now :))
it is a beautiful moment. although it was very simple but it was so much fun!
Oh really?? You are also 22 now?? Wow!! Welcome to the club. Haha.. We're a year older now. :) You spending it with your family?
Wow we have same years:)) awesome yes! I am spending with my family yes!
Ohh, that is cool! :) How was your birthday celebration? :)
It is undeniable that this journey of life has taken a lot of time. From time to time, things have happened. There are likes, there is grief, there is cheerful, even there is hurt. However, it is all a colorful life. Stay the best of all. And remember, age may increase. But it signifies our reduced allotment rations. In the end, we will all leave this mortal world.
Happy birthday to you, my brother 😃
Thanks a lot brother!
That is very correct . we are in the world only temporarily so use the time as well as possible and be useful for others!
happy birthday Buddy, hopefully long life and given good health @yandot
Thanks a lot brother!
u`r welcome brother :)
Happy birthday @yandot !!
Thanks a lot brother!

Happy birthday @yandot. I will always pray that your days in the future will always bring new hope to you. Although there are many obstacles ahead, you have to get stronger in life to get to the ladder of your success. May Allah always bestow you the gift and long life on you @yandot.
Amin! Thank you for your pray and thanks for support brother!

My birthday was on 25th October 2017 last year. Nobody knew it not even my parents but it was the best birthday I ever had since I was given birth to.
My parents stopped celebrating my birthday from the age of 9 so eventually I got used to it. But my birthday last year was awesome because I was in school.
That day started out normally like any other day, me just going to school, coming back home late in the evening. On my usual birthday before getting admission into school, I just stay out a little late alone and then come back, eat get into bed and sleep.
At times I am reminded by a friend’s happy birthday messages to me that it is my birthday.
I went home to my lodge outside the school environment planning to just eat, rest and finally sleep(the usual). When I reached my room, I knocked and my roommate opened the door for me.
Everywhere was kinda getting dark since it was late in the evening. Immediately I entered the room, I heard a happy birthday scream behind me and suddenly the whole room lit up. I saw all my friends from my department and lodge all gathered there to celebrate me. The feeling was so amazing. It turns out my roommate was the person that planned the whole birthday thing.
Before the main celebration began, they poured me a lot of water. This is the norms in Lagos where I grew up (they believe you were bathed with water the day you were born =, so the same should be done on every birthday of yours).
Later on we had food and drinks served and we played music and danced to our hearts content. Despite the fact that we didn’t have cake still it was the best birthday I ever had, One with my family in school (friends).
A very special and extraordinary birthday! of course we are very happy to get a surprise like that. Thank you for sharing your birthday story full of surprises. Thanks a lot!

Before I tell my story, I will say happy birthday to @yandot.
I was born in February, this year my age to 29 years, on my birthday, I never celebrate like people in general, I do not like to make a troublesome event. On birthday celebrations, there's no cake show and blowing candles, I just celebrate with some close friends (about 10 people), the show I made was pretty simple, just hanging out at the stall while enjoying a plate of fried noodles and a cup of coffee.
Birthday events that I can convey almost the same as the reunion, because it can be gathered with close friends who are busy with their respective jobs.
That's the only thing I do when it's birthday. Although impressed simple but I am very happy. Enjoyment is extraordinary and difficult to express in words.
Thanks for taking the time to read my story.
Thanks for participating and explain your story with us!
ok, thanks also friend, have read my birthday story
First of all, Happy birthday to you!

I usually celebrate it with my best friends. Normally they will book a luxury hotel and invite me secretly to the place for the celebration. That is what makes a surprise birthday party.
There will be a party with music all night long near the swimming pool. The usual one will have barbecued together with friends. We will talk about life, the future and all kind of stuff. Birthday gift? Normally we do not have this stuff unless we specify what we really want before the birthday.
As time passed, the birthday party become less and lesser. My last birthday is the easiest one. I went to watch movies and have fabulous meals with my best friends. Lastly, we do a shopping tour and find things that I want to buy for my birthday. If I not able to find it, I will just forget about it. As simple as that.
Wow amazing! Thank you very much for participating ! Have fun
Happy Birthday to ; @yandot
I hope your Success at steemit.
Thanks a lot for your support always! @aronnaawe
First of all, happy birthday. As for the tale of my last birthday...
It was one I would love to forget. I had a big picture in mind. I had just joined Steemit, and i had made some cash. I was hoping to pull off a grand celebration, as it was to be my last as a college student (university). Drinks were in order, there was minced chicken, with peppersoup. However, tragedy struck when, first of all, the small generator we had hoped to use, refused to come on. After fixing it up, it finally came on. But our joy was shortlived as it had fried the sound system and there was no source of music.
However, I would be forever grateful to my friends who understood quite well that it wasn't like me not to throw a good party. And guess what? I did make it up to them, with another party!
Thank you for participating and explain your story with us! Have fun :)
Happy birthday @yandot I hope you had fun today?
My last birthday started off as no fun at all. I was depressed for half of the day. At midday, I decided to go see a movie at one of the cinemas around. To my disappointment, the cinema only had wack movies slated for the day. Not wanting to waste my transport fare, I decided to see one of the movies any way. As expected, it was nothing to write home about😥😥.
But then, on my way out of the cinema, I mistakenly bumped into a cute guy.
I apologized and one thing led to another and we became friends. He ended up taking me to a really cool party where I was validated by strangers like they had known me forever. All in all, my last birthday was not totally ruined 😍😆.
I hope your day does not go like mine, unless you would like to bump into a cute girl too 😉😉.
Thanks a lot for participating and have fun!
hopefully long life and become a better person than everhappy Birthday my best friend @yandot
Thank s lot for your support my friend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @yandot
Happy Birthday bro!
My 23rd birthday meant so much to me cos I woke up with so much joy and happiness to a long and lovely text from my girl . That gave a nice kick to my day but going into my day it was filled with birthday wishes from friends , family, colleagues, and neighbors. The day was so delightful and ended with a get together where my friends and loved ones came to celebrate me. It was more than anyone could ask for: having the people you love celebrate you is what really matters and we should all look forward to that. Thanks
Thank you very much for participating and tell us about your birthday!
Happy birthday
Thanks a lot! :))
Happy Birthday @yandot. Wishing you a happy 22nd birthday. I really like this contest and it is a wonderful one at that.
How did I celebrate my last birthday??
My last birthday was on May 15 2017 and it started all cool. The weather was cool and calm. I prayed and thanked God for adding another year to my life and was prayed for by my parents too.. I was introduced to a sumptuous meal by mum and everyone in the family gave me gifts..
That early hours of the morning I took some items I had bought to our community orphanage since when I became a beauty queen it has always been a norm for me to celebrate with them in my own little way.. The joy in their hearts already made the rest of the fun and worthwhile..
Later in the day calls and text came in from friends, family and loved ones.
I was just a normal university law student but my faculty had surprised me with a cake and another surprise birthday party. And that last year I got my phone as a gift from my friend.
I was happy with all the gifts and good wishes. I was so loved.
In the evening my friends took me out again for a party and we had fun.. It was really amazing to be in the midst of people who care for you and put your happiness at heart..
I got amazing gifts like a lovely Barbie gown with a black Italian heels from my BFF.
To my surprise it took me two days or more to reply to all the DMs, phone calls, messages on social media and the rest..
Birthdays are one of the most important moments or time in our life where we reflect on our past life and pray to be better.
I really enjoyed my last birthday and can't wait for this one on May 15 .. Wow
I hope to get a wonderful birthday celebration..
Thank you for participating and tell us about your birthday ! Have fun
Selamat Hari Lahir Bang @yandot. Semoga Allah SWT melimpahkan Rahmat dan Hidayah-Nya kepada anda. Di beri kelapangan serta sisa hidup yang bermanfaat untuk keluarga, sahabat, juga untuk semua orang.
Saya tidak begitu bagus dalam bahasa inggris. Sehingga saya harus menjawab pertanyaan tentang bagaiman saya menghabiskan hari ulang tahun terakhir saya dalam bahasa Indonesia. Semoga dapat dimaklumi.
Saya dari keluarga yang serba berkecukupan. Sehingga tidak ada istilah perayaan ulang tahun di hari kelahiran saya. Tepat pada tanggal 5 April 2018 yang lalu adalah hari kelahiran saya. Sama seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya tidak ada perayaan yang besar atau megah di hari itu. Biasa-biasa saja, tidak ada yang spesial. Mungkin ini terdengar kampungan atau semacamnya. Saya memaklumi akan hal itu.
Sedikitpun saya tidak berharap agar supaya di hari yang bahagia itu dirayakan dengan sederhana atau bahkan bermegah-megahan. Biasanya di hari ulang tahun saya, saya sering merenung diri, sisa berapa lagi kah umur yamg saya miliki. Juga disertai doa kepada Allah SWT agar kiranya sisa umur ini tidak sia-sia.
Kebetulan hari kelahiran saya adalah hari jumat, saya juga tidak lupa membaca surah Yasin sampai saya benar-benar letih. Hanya seperti itu setiap tahunnya.
Demikian saya melalui hari-hari saya pada saat ulang tahun saya bang @yandot. Terimakasih sudah membacanya.
Semoga Allah SWT memberikan kita umur yang panjang dan tentunya bermanfaat.
Terimakasih banyak bang atas ucapan dan doanya semoga dikabulkan oleh Allah Swt , Amin terimakasih juga sudah menceritakan cerita anda dengan kami . Maaf telah mendengar ini tapi saya harap anda selalu bahagia dengan apa yang anda lakukan . Tetap semangat
Hee... Gak apa bang. InshaAllah akan indah pada waktunya. Semoga ababg sehat selalu, dipanjangkan umurnya oleh Allah SWT. Amiin.
My last birthday was fantastic.... How it started was I woke in the morning of February 22 2018 and I was not having any money to take my siblings and friends out so later on that day a Friday called me to come around.... So I went and he said we should go out and that how he called some closed by school mates and we went to the mall watched jumanji and then we ate... He funded all this bills and my day was a blast
Am the dude I big laughter
Happy birthday to you @yandot... Wishing a long life with prosperity in Good health
Thanks for participating and tell us about your birthday! Awesome you spending your time with your friend
Happy birthday @yandot!
Well my birthday was not as fun as the other steemians. Working in the hospital is not easy and I have to work on my birthday. Yeah I know it's not a big deal but, it is a time to spend with your family right? 1 of my colleague had an emergency and can't go to work so I had to cover for her. Sigh.. but, nevermind. As long as her problem was settled and the all the work was done without much problem. And that's how I spend my birthday this year. :)
Thanks a lot for participating and tell us about your birthday and have fun !

I celebrated my birthday last April 21, 2018, together with my two younger sisters because we had the same birthday but was born in a different year. In the morning we just had a normal breakfast while my grandmother hugged me and greeted me a happy birthday. On the afternoon, my two younger sisters went to the city because they had an art workshop for that day (our birthday), I turned 20 years old on that day, 15 years old to my younger @kirei, 7 years old to my little sister while a 20th birthday and death anniversary on my twin sister who died on the day we were born. I was at my meeting on the afternoon on that day since I am running for SK Kagawad this coming May 14, 2018, my teammates in SK didn't notice or they just forgot that it was my birthday on that day, they must fail to greet me happy birthday but they were the ones who make me feel the happiest birthday girl on that day because our meeting was full of laughs, jokes, seriousness while sharing ideas with each other. When we finished our meeting around 7 in the evening, we just happened to pass by on a sari-sari store, then one of my friends like to eat a bread because she was hungry so I gave him 20 PHP or 0.39 USD, then one of our friends asked me if he can by it a sardines and I said go ahead by for it cause I know they were hungry, I wanted to treat them a food but I only have 0.38 USD or 20 PHP. I was still laughing at that time because they are still making jokes that would make you cry for laughing, your jaws and your stomach for laughing. But they asked again if where are we going to eat with rice, I told them that we will be going to pass by on our eatery (my family's eatery) and gladly there was a rice left in the pot and I thanked my mother for that and she told me to go home early. We were supposed to eat with my friends but they are dancers and it was their dance rehearsal on that night so while I was waiting for them while holding the sardines and rice it was suddenly raining and it's getting dark I told one of our friends that I am going home because it is getting late and my mother told me to go home early, so I went running home because the rain is slowing down. When I got home I was surprised that there were a spaghetti because I told them that it's okay if we are not going to have an extravagant celebration as long as we have a spaghetti: my favorite food, then my mother told me to prepare our food for the dinner because they were actually waiting for me so I prepared the foods and we have a family dinner on that night, it is rare for us to eat altogether so I was happy for that even though my elder sister wasn't there because she is still travelling to go home but when she got home we put the candles on the cake, the only cake for the three of us while our elder sister @kneelyrac kept capturing the moment when we blow the candles for the three of us. I was so happy and so full on my birthday, I know my siblings were too but I just can't help feeling sad because it was the death anniversary on my twin sister and I forgot to visit on the cemetery because I was on my meeting but on the next day I visited her and my grandfather on the cemetery with my grandmother and my little sister because better late than never.
Thanks a lot for participating and tell us about your birrhday! Have fun and have a good day ! Your story is awesome !
Happy birthday @yandot, hopefully on your birthday your family, friends, friends and even everyone will help and pray for you to gain success from today, getting great from today and adding dream manifestation in the future. So at that time also you will be tested with patience and humility to hold in the feel of the greatest and most things hopefully at that moment bang @yandot will remain a @yandot always good, humble and patient. Perhaps at the age that has stepped into the 22 years is the age that is said to be not too young anymore, hahaha but certainly have a power that is still so great new thoughts of course great and quality. Staying always eager to encourage each other to support each other and mutually happy human beings even anyone and wherever bang @ iandot stands today or later. Greetings from one of the steemian Indonesia @ditop

There is not the greatest pleasure that you receive, there is no greatest gift you can save except a blessing of the health and longevity that god gives you. Happy birthday @yandot .. Hopefully In your age that now makes the more blessing and hopefully all your wishes can be achieved immediately
In the past, my other way of giving thanks and celebrating my 28th birthday was to enjoy my birthday in a different way that I did charity . I started collecting money from a month before my birthday and I invited some people, like friends and family. try this way maybe your birthday will be very special @yandot, Believe me your birthday will feel different and this is impossible you can forget.
Thank you very much! Thanks for participating and nice comment as well!
