18/365: 36 years and counting
Today's project365 is dedicated to my parents who celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary last week, on January 13. Today was the first day since then that we are all available to go out for dinner and celebrate. This is a combo celebration as tomorrow is also my papa's unofficial 58th birthday.
Now, this birthday is a subject of debate in the household. We celebrate it because for the longest time, papa knew his birthday to be in January. Then about 20 years ago (?) when I was in highschool, as part of his passport application, he had to get a certified copy of his birth certificate from the National Statistics Office - and lo and behold, his birthdate is in March! Since then, he has used these two dates to get out of celebrating his birthdays. In January, he'll say his birthday is not until March; and in March, he'll say that his birthday is over last January.
To papa - the source of my "smartass"-ness. Happy Birthday!
