my fave way of celebrating my birthday is starting up my laptop during 12:00 am and start watching anime in OS and do other different stuff until before midnight which I kinda did during my last birthday

go out with friends...Here's what i did last time
- Paintball
- Eat pizza
- We all went to the cyber cafe (thank god we all had something in common) and played against each other :)
- When it's getting late, collect the presents before they run away :P

I don't celebrate my birthday too.
I guess the excitement of it disappeared when I was a kid.
But being close to my family is all that matters right???

Being alone is just fine...
because I'm always alone...
but I want to be with someone who really care for me... if there is one...

I don't really celebrate my birthday at all. but if I do, the best thing to do, spend time with my closest friends and family together. :)
I don't mind if there are gifts or not, just being with them and having fun memories is more than enough. :)

There were times when i used to go night swimming with my friends.
So I'm suggesting that swimming in the beach at night is a good way to celebrate the ending of your birthday..XD
If its too scary then I hope you reconsider and do something else thats fun.
xiety
08-01-2010, 10:23 AM
buy / rent movies
then do your birthday movie marathon
and try cooking your favorite food
MioAkiyama
08-01-2010, 10:45 AM
by not meeting the people i most hate
and going outside is also nice to spend birthdays

My birthday is comic up real soon... And. I never really know what I want to do on my birthday. They happen only once a year and each milestone occurs only once, so-- shouldn't something worthwhile happen? I have no clue at all... I almost don't even want a birthday. But if it's happening no matter what I should celebrate... Yeesh.
mrcdeath
08-21-2010, 06:34 PM
Well i dont really celebrate my b-day animore but i do spend it with my friends having a good time so i suppose thats the best for me. While saving some time for a 2 persons celebration too :D

08-22-2010, 11:20 AM
Birthdays are meant to be celebrated aren't they? another year passing in your lifetime. Make a big deal out of it! go out, have fun, do crazy things =] and when they ask you why, just say "Cause its my Birthday sucka" I'll leave the use of sucka in your discretion.
blackfairy
08-23-2010, 06:21 AM

Watch anime, be with my girl or my friends XD
JLFabrero

The best way is by spending half the day receiving greetings in Facebook, and half the day playing, eating, receiving gifts, and having fun with the family.
junbillgahi
11-20-2010, 08:45 PM
For me...
First celebrate with my friends and families...
Then.. I will come here in OS to spend time with my friends (in OS)...

I guess this is more specific... minus family lol
Sora Kasugano
12-14-2010, 11:14 PM
Invite my friends,
Watch/Rent movies and watch it with my friends, and of course Cook Food, that wont hurt, I'm not really in to the celebrating types, so simple ones are what I liked XD
xuei0000
12-15-2010, 01:07 AM
WITH my FRIENDS!! Go somewhere peaceful and relaxing.. talk about anything and have a DRINK and do TRIPPING things! I don't care if I won't receive any gifts as long as I am happy to be with them.
jeiru01
12-17-2010, 10:27 PM
I want to celebrate my birthday with foods.
It's once in a year so-- why not. I want to celebrate it with someone of course. Or maybe with my family. Age doesn't matter. Actually, I feel uneasy when I celebrate it while I'm in my school. "Happy birthday" I don't know how to react to this. I say: "Thank you" then smile. endless. It's hard. That's why I mostly skip school when I'm celebrating my birthday. Doesn't matter how they'll react to it. What's important is what I have for myself.

12-17-2010, 11:44 PM
in my opinion the best way to spend your birthday is the way you wish to spend it its your birthday after all and that in itself could be your own birthday gift to yourself
just my 2 cents on the matters
kyoyahostluv
12-18-2010, 02:44 PM
I normally just spend it with my friends.
My main hope is that nothing upsets me that day.
Yutaka
12-20-2010, 12:38 PM
well i used to spend it alone but now i spend it with my girlfriend and her family since i don't really have any family
Liesianthes
12-27-2010, 01:59 AM
to be with my real friends.. going to mall.. have a walk there... or sometimes by drinking..
Torrent
12-27-2010, 01:45 PM
my last birthday we bar hopped.. in at least 5 bars, and got really drunk by 6am so we went to a diner for breakfast.
it was my 1st time in a club/bar its something new for me,so thats why my friends planned it for my birthday, they always do that, at least in every birthday in our group :D
Fubuki
12-27-2010, 03:13 PM
The best way... sleeping and streaming anime here while on the cb and in the forums. Then go eat cake. Pretty boring and relaxing. Oh and while im streaming, locking the door and ignoring my parents until its time for cake >:D
evil105
12-27-2010, 03:18 PM
Hmm my last birthday was super boring ... did nothing other then talking to my friends ,went to the cinema, watching tv , watching anime And chatting with OS members in the Chatbox

I like to watch the sun rise over the ocean on my birthday. I usually spend the time contemplating what happened in the previous year, and making resolutions that I'm not likely to keep for the upcoming year :D Occasionally I've shared this time with someone else but not often; I like to be alone.
After that I'll go grab a bite to eat a diner, or pick up something from a fast food joint on the way back home. Having stayed up all night, I'll usually sleep for the entire day so that when the sun sets again I'm ready for some more fun. Sometimes I spend the evening with my family at home, sometimes with friends out and about town. It all depends on my mood.
Oh, and I always eat whatever I want on my birthday even if it's the most obscure combination of foods /gg

This year, my birthday was pretty bomb. At least, I'm pretty sure it was.
I had a birthday dinner organized by my mom and best friend. I had a lot of awesome people there! After that, we had a house party at my friend's house and everyone got pretty wasted. And then the next weekend, another friend threw me another party and we basically got trashed at her house.
Having fun isn't PURELY about not being sober (haha, it may just be a high school thing) but it's mostly based on who you're surrounded by. I had so0o0o0 much fun at both parties because I had the most amazing people there celebrating with me. Although I don't remember much about either night, just knowing I was probably lol'ing the entire time with friends is great.

for me, the best way to spend my birthday is to eat all of my favorite foods, no one will annoy me, no one will make me do errands for them, to have money to buy all the things I want, to be with my special someone.....XD and to go to church

KarmaOnce
01-01-2011, 07:38 PM
My favorite way? As long as I'm with my best friends, no matter what we do, it's always fun! But receiving a bunch of anime dvds, manga, or anime items isn't bad at all either~ ;]
ZenNaari
01-05-2011, 02:45 PM
Sit down, watch anime and read all the "happy birthday's" you recieved on all the websites you're popular in...

I prefer just spending it with one or two really close friends. I've come to understand that I don't like the stress of planning something big.

ZenNaari
02-19-2011, 11:37 AM
Best way to spend a birthday is in front of the computer, watching anime/reading manga/playing games, with a bithday cake and lots of food around you...
And finally reading all the wall posts or comments you got in a site you're more or less popular in 'til you drool...
Anytimelol
02-20-2011, 11:02 AM
I think the best way to spend a birthday is to do the things that make you happy and spend time with the people you love and cherish. A birthday is about you, and you only get a certain amount of them in this lifetime so its best to remember the things you hold most important.
Max Magnus
02-20-2011, 11:37 AM
I celebrate with a party with my friends, just hang out and play some games while eating delicious foods, and then something else with my family on another day. Keeps everything good and fun for everyone =)

hmm usually I want to be surrounded by lots of foods during my birthday. XD I don't mind going out or just staying home as long as it's a food fest! XD Though I usually eat outside with friends and treat them to lunch or dinner to celebrate my birthday. Celebrating birthday with family and friends is the best for me though all I do during my birthday is eat as much food there is. XP
DwinLylthx

Kobowo
08-19-2011, 05:44 AM
The best way to spend it is to spend it the way you wanted to. Parties, gifts, walks playing games, watching movies it all depends on what you feel on that day. Because if you did what you feel then it would still be a special day nontheless. Its your special day so you should dictate how it goes XD
YumikO14
08-19-2011, 05:58 AM

Last Year:
I just wanted to be alone in my own world (my room) and stream and stream and stream. And my parents gave me money and what I did is I called a pizza delivery and eat it for myself. I don't have girlfriends and I'm not planning to have one as of now. I think it's a pain :]] Just spending the day doing what you want to do. That's for me.
hirochi
08-24-2011, 09:45 AM
For me there are many ways but I'll just gonna say the best for me (x
First I always want to go to church with my family, and after that, eat outside or hang out.
Or if the budget is kinda low, I just want to celebrate within our house and eat home made cuisines (:
Eating together and going to church at the day of your birth is for me the MOST important thing to do at your birthday. (:

08-25-2011, 02:33 PM
The best way I've spent one in the past was probably when me and a group of friends went to Vegas to celebrate turing the big 3 OH. Drinking absurd ammounts of alcohol by the pool, seeing overpriced drag queen shows and eating fancy expensive food makes getting old much easier to swallow. Normally though, I just do dinner or something with the family and then again with friends. This year we did Tepenyaki which was loads of fun. We got a shot of saki every time we caught the food our chef was tossing at us in our mouth. By the 4th or 5th round, we were too tipsy to catch it, but he still treated us to some saki. :)
Hmmmm from reading this, apparently I think the best way to celebrate a birthday is in a drunken stupor. I'm really not a lush I promise ;)

Hmmm. . . I didn't feel celebrating my birthday. It's only leading to the thought that I'm growing older. . I don't like that, I want to be forever young. lol XD
