What happened..?

So sticking to the birthday theme...

I remember a time before facebook, mxit and all the other things that our lives revolve around these days. A time when calls were not that expensive, and sms'ing was the ish...

I know we used to stay awake till 12:00 am to see who could wish the lucky person first, or phone you awake just to scream "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" but as life does, things, actions, words and even people change.

It went from phone calls to sms's. From sms's it went to please-call-me's (that are personalized ofcourse). Then it went to birthday wishes over mxit (and we used to say that was cheap). To what we currently have now, the wall post on facebook, or if you lucky you just might get an inbox message.

I noticed that the people that really mean that much to you as a person are the ones that still stay up late and call at 12:00am, or rather say, they call. I'm trying to say that there is any wrong, but we are human and we know its the simple things go a long way, like a simple phone call.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, with something as simple as your birthday, you'll see who are friends and who are mere aquaintances...
