Birthday Party in Osaka

For the last couple of years, I have had huge blowout 25th birthday parties (that was not a typo, I have had multiple 25th birthday parties), with about 100 of my friends at a funky bar…I like the whole process, of getting a pretty dress, getting my nails done, and being surrounded by friends from all different areas of my life. This year, there was no dress, no nails, no hair appointments, no new jewelry creations…. but for the first down to earth birthday party, after years of 25th blowout bashes (where I managed to celebrate my real age) I learned low-key isn’t necessarily bad…. 25 of my nearest and dearest at a Mexican restaurant, drinking coronas and margaritas and gorging on burritos…Then onto a private karaoke booth, where I was serenaded in both English and Japanese. Now that my actual age has caught up to me, I guess I should start focusing my energies on throwing a blowout 30th birthday party…I mean it isn’t that far away.
