In less than a month I will be celebrating my 27th birthday. I feel I am so blessed and instead of being so selfish and think of me and only me on that day I plan to give back this time. Well, given that I will be on vacation on my day would be enough already to make me smile all day. Having time spent away from work and the hassles of city living can be considered bliss in its purest form.

As part of my birthday give back project, "I Give Back", I want everyone to suggest what else could I do to make this day more memorable. Oh by the way, in line with this I am sending a kid to school and I plan to volunteer in a community outreach program as well together with my friends. So, tell me what else could I do...Leave a comment.

PRIZES AT STAKE

1. A Twilight Saga Book (in Trade Paperback by Stephenie Meyer) There will be 4 winners for this prize: 1 Twilight, 1 New Moon, 1 Eclipse, 1 Breaking Dawn - I've decided to award this whole package as the 1st prize.

Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made. But once she meets the mysterious and alluring Edward Cullen, Isabella's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. Up until now, Edward has managed to keep his vampire identity a secret in the small community he lives in, but now nobody is safe, especially Isabella, the person Edward holds most dear. The lovers find themselves balance precariously on the point of a knife—between desire and danger. Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite.
