or3gon: I always feel good when my birthday comes, even if I'll celebrate it with family and friends or not. It's not really about the celebration that makes me excited. It's how I appreciate life that I have another year to fulfill my wishes and tasks and that's what I'm always thankful of.

So now, that you still have the time to be with friends on your birthday, cherish it. Light a candle today or you can go to an orphanage because some children don't know when exactly are their birthdays. Give them gifts. Enjoy your big day!

Ofcourse I know it's a special day and the things that happen on that day is a testament to it.

But the "loading" part, I just can't understand it. So you can't buy me or give me something when I need it? You will wait till it's birthday before you do? That's where my confusion spring up.

woky: the bolded also keeps in bewilderment bro

jnrbayano:

It's just perculiar to the younger women.

Perhaps a particular girl overly announce it to keep her boyfriends in the ready.

I will hang on to this notion until I'm told otherwise

woky: Lol! I think they over announce it in great anxiety to keep most of their 'male' friends informed and ready even the 1s they have placed friendzone .. They no wan here "sorry, i never knw ur bday is 2day/sorry I never knew you celebrated your birthday yesterday or so"

tuffgongjo: Birthday or not everyday is special to me don't know about y'all.

jnrbayano:

Yes, that's how it's supposed to be. Every day is a special day though birthdays are little bit extra-special.

I don't know why the feminine gender (younger ones) overrate it and makes noise about it across social networks even as early as whooping 2months before it.

I'm yet to be cleared by them.

tuffgongjo: .I think it is in their nature to over play everything to d Max.

jnrbayano:

....for some hidden gains I reckon.

I wish they turn up on this thread but I fear they won't.

tuffgongjo: .Money making ventures,u know most girls have 1bf$1k magas who will sponsor$spoil them with gift that day,unlike we guys.u know what I mean now

jnrbayano:
I found out that it is a special trend for the girls of these age to be overly excited about "their birthday"

Everyday is a special day, but I agree that it's extra special when it's one's birthday, not for only girls, but for all.

However, what baffles me is the rate at which this excitements make the girls to "load it" down to the actual day. In all social media, you will see updates like; my birthday loading......; countdown to my birthday; 30days to my birthday; my birthday in a bit etc etc.

The other time a female friend wanted to buy me a gift, but later said I should hang on till my birthday. Does that mean if she present me this gift anytime other than on my birthday It won't be special? I wondered.

It's not a headache, not at all but what is responsible for this trend? Men are beginning to join in it too, well younger men though.
