"A simple birthday special for my nephew turn's 4" Article # 180 March 25, 2023 Hello, what's up my fellows and wonderful writers here in read cash? I was out of track I guess since last week I haven't published any article for consecutive days. I was so sad because I think that maybe I might be forgotten by everyone. I hope it's not like what I thought right now. *I am busy doing some important errands to earn money to help my partner, that sometimes I end up too much stressed and tired at night and I wasn't able to visit here in read cash.* When I find time to check my account earlier, I was amazed at this person who never fails to check up on my article. I don't expect any from him because I know how busy he is with his errands but he finds time to give an upvote on my article even if it was passed 6 days ago.

Sir Bob, @Coolmidwestguy thank you for your kind heart and generosity. I wish you more luck in life and good health always. Anyways, guys, I want to share this with all of you about our simple celebration yesterday with my cute and loving nephew turning 4 years old.

He is a very hyper kid and every morning he used to come into our room and wake us up with his loud voice and wide smile. So on his special day, we made a small celebration for him to make him happy and enjoy. We only prepared a small kind of dish for our dinner with our colleagues and families. Since we only have a short budget for it, we shared an amount to buy chicken and make them into the roast.

We only have 6 homemade roasted chickens and of course the "**Pancit",** The birthday will not be perfect without pancit on the table as a saying in our old generations is that " ***pancit ay pampa haba ng buhay".:-)***

He always smiles and laughs all day maybe he understands that his blessed day to him was that moment. We made his day happy and enjoyed it even though it was just a small celebration. Most importantly that he has good health as always. We only customized the budget so that no worries about having debt after the celebration. most of the time if there are birthdays with our kids here, their parents will borrow some money with interest and I told them that having a lot of food on the table is not important if we are in a lot of debt after. It's better to celebrate simply as long as we will not bother by the debt that we need to pay. It will cause headaches and anxiety if we cannot pay back the money on time. Final thoughts A big celebration is not important, we should be practical in spending money because it's really hard to earn it. But if you have enough budget then go for it, as long as you will not borrow money to have a great party. Especially our children need our attention and bonding with them is the most precious to make them happy not on material things. Our time and efforts are much needed by them. That's all for now guys, have a great day❗:-)
