Just a biko on my birthday: a request that will never ever granted again :(

Its 3rd day of July today and July is my birthmonth. My birthday is coming very soon.

Back then when the month July was coming, i felt very excited as this is my birthmonth. I already think of what will going to happen when my birthday come. I don't want to have a big celebration just a simple gathering together with my family and few friends.

Maybe you are being curious about my title. I know most of you know what biko is.

It is made of sticky rice with coconut milk and sugar.

It is a type of filipino rice cake dessert

See my lead image that is the actual photo of biko that made during my past birthday.

Every July 14, i always looking forward to this one. I dont mind if i dont have much foods in my birthday as long as theres a biko im happy already.

As you can see its a simple birthday, i didn't have much foods because thats what i want. I dont want my parents to spend more of their money to my birthday. Im happy with these as long as theres a biko as what im always saying :)

But im thankful to them they dont let me not to blow a candle on my birthday, they really buy me a cake. It was a surprise to me because cake is expensive but they still managed to but me one. Im crying.

I wonder youre asking why biko? Why not shanghai, this one is so popular during any celebrations right? This is a target of the visitors.

Well to answer you, biko is really special to me because the one who always make a biko during my birthday is my mother. I love the taste of her biko. The sweetness of it. I always requested biko to her when my birthday come even if i watched her preparing it i still dont get the perfect taste of it just like what she made.

My mother's biko is the best for me. And my friends who tasted her biko was saying that they love it because it has a perfect taste. Im happy upon hearing those words because even them, they appreciate the biko of my mother. I know she's happy too.

Preparing biko was not an easy task. Why? Because you need to focus well in stirring the coconut milk together with the sugar for it not to overflow in the frying pan. I also helped my mother in preparing for me to learn.

Why i say that it will not granted again?

As you have read my article, upon reading my title you will able to know why. And to all who didn't read it yet. I'll tell you the reason.

A request that i know will never ever granted for my birthday is having a biko in our table. My mother can't prepare biko for my upcoming birthday because she left us already 2 years ago.

This is my third birthday without her.

Third birthday without biko

Third birthday without my mom greeted me happy birthday

Third birthday that i wish i have a biko like what my mother always prepared for me

I'm not excited anymore for my birthday. My father is away and he doesn't sure if he will able to go home because he has a work that day since it is Wednesday and his day off is Sunday which he sometimes escaped on his barracks just to visit us. I only have my 2 siblings here which do not know how to cook since they are still a kid. One is 11 years old and the other is 15 years old. My stepsister will go back to our province this July 10, that is one of the reason also why i don't feel excited anymore.

Thinking of it makes me feel sad. But thanks to my partner he doesn't want me to spend my birthday like usual day. He said he's willing to absent to his work that day just to prepare me some foods which i firmly disagree, also im thinking about the expenses when we are going to prepare foods. And last, maybe i don't have a visitor that day because it still pandemic and my friends have their own busy lives. I don't think they remembered my birthday. Hope atleast just a simple greetings from them makes me happy already.
