Once In A Year Tradition

Another Side

Today i've got surprise from my friend. They've thrown water, flour, even milk to me. Luckily i managed to dodge some of them so i only got minor damage ~LOL~. They do that because last sunday, i celebrated my birthday and it's some kind of tradition that person who celebrated their birthday must receive some kind of punishment just like i mention earlier.

Today i'm lucky because they just use flour, water, and milk. Sometimes people just doing over the limit by throwing things that really disgusting that i can't mention here. Because of this, despite flours are all over my body and my bag, i'm not disturbed. It's just like their way to express how they care about to their friends.

But let's we give a little though about it. Do we really care about how is the person feel to get things thrown over their body? Do we aware that maybe we can ruin their clothes, their shoes, their belonging? What if the person have appointment that they need to look neat and because of our action, that person looks terrible for that appointment. Think about consequence from our action. And to make it worse, they are asked to treat the person who throw them all of this things.

I personally not agree to this kind of tradition. I do understand this tradition is some way to express how we care about our friends. But is it really have to be like this? We can make it better WITHOUT doing this all kind of things. Let's say, the person who have birthday that day is ignored by all of his friend and at the end of the day they throw a party to celebrate the person birthday instead throwing that disgusting things to them. We are WELL EDUCATED PEOPLE so just stop this kind of things and DO it in better way.

It's not that i blame my friend for doing this to me but it's just my personal though. I'm not pointing at anyone. Happy birthday to me ^_^.
