Well, I’m going to talk about the day after my birthday when my friends, small circle friends, came to my home at night at 1 a.m. if my memories were right and gave a special cake for me and the biggest reason why I find this cake really special for me is because Because my best friends and those friends knew that I hate my birthday. Because on my birthday my twin sisters passed away and it was really hard for me to celebrate. Because I didn’t want to see my parents’ eyes which are really ugly and their tears. I didn’t even realize that they are planning to motivate me and give this cake to me. When one of my friends called me and asked me to hang out with them at night, I was like okay and I go out but my friend gave a special cake for me and this cake, if I’m not mistaken the flavor was chocolate and strawberry. Strawberry which I like a lot and still love it. And the biggest thing that I have learned from this experience is that my fans gave attention to me in the time and still gives. And this is really good I think is when you have really good bonds with your fans and they knew a lot of things about you, it’s incredibly good. I’m over the moon that they give this cake to me as I realized that they are the best and closest people in my life. Our bonds became more stronger compared to the past and in fact I have really small circle friends and they are three of them and from this experience I started thinking meticulously before celebrating birthdays or giving gifts to others because they also could hate their birthdays like me. And therefore I think this experience is the best for me and kind of memorable. And this happened last year in 25th instead of May because my birthday is on 3rd of May.

Well, I'm going to talk about the day after my birthday when my small circle of friends came to my home at 1 a.m., if my memory serves me right, and gave me a special cake. The biggest reason why I find this cake really special is that my best friends knew that I hate my birthday. My twin sisters passed away on my birthday, and it was really hard for me to celebrate. I didn't want to see my parents' sad eyes and their tears. I didn't even realize that they were planning to motivate me and give me this cake. When one of my friends called me and asked me to hang out with them at night, I agreed and went out, but my friend surprised me with a special cake. If I'm not mistaken, the flavor was chocolate and strawberry, which I like a lot and still love. The biggest thing I learned from this experience is that my friends paid attention to me at that time and still do. I think it's really good to have strong bonds with your friends, and they know a lot about you. I'm over the moon that they gave me this cake, as I realized they are the best and closest people in my life. Our bonds became stronger compared to the past. I have a really small circle of friends, just three of them, and from this experience, I started thinking carefully before celebrating birthdays or giving gifts to others because they might also hate their birthdays like I do. Therefore, I think this experience is the best for me and quite memorable. This happened last year on the 25th of May because my birthday is on the 3rd of May.
