Do you always go to your friend's birthday party?

I ask you this because sometimes, when they invite us, we have already our commitment to others, and for me, I will tell him or her the reasons why I can't come to the party. So, sometimes, we couldn't come. I would want to hear from your opinions about the topic. Thanks a lot!

I always wanted to attend my friends birthday party but in any case that i have already a commitment to that day or time then I would say i can't attend the party too. But if my prior commitment to others is not as important as the celebration, like just watching a movie, then i would cancel or move it. I know sometimes it's being unfair but i would weigh the situation according to the importance. Birthday party just happens in a year so i would try my best to attend as long as it doesn't affect much my other appointments.^^;

This can be forgiven, if it is me, I do not mind, because they were all good friends, I can not let my good friend dilemma, as a good friend, it should be mutual understanding. I bless you and your friend's friendship everlasting and unchanging.

No sometimes i do miss some parties due to some other work. But i am quite sure that my friends are smart enough to understand my problem.

oh, speaking of birthdays... i always forgot about it maybe bcoz im too busy.. if they ask me why i didnt go or send message i just told them i did though i dont know what happened or i supposed to go there but theres important things that i need to finished.. sort of excuses but i make it up to them really, i know gift is not enough but i give them my time once im free.. but then, on my last birthday no one bother to text me or call me for my birthday maybe bcoz i also forgot that its my bday and i dont even bother to invite anyone.. like what happened, my boss and some of my officemate prepares a bday present to my officemate coz its her bday though unfortunately its our bday coz we have the same bday but i dont bother to celebrate it when i reached 30. then its my rest day the next day and when i come back to office i saw a cake from my boss and a bday card from him too.. he alo told me he felt sorry coz they never know about it. and i just tell them that i didn't celebrate my bday anymore.. and so thats why right now, i put it in my calendar my family and friends birthday coz i dont want to miss it and i dont want them to miss my bday too.
