Exactly 45 minutes from now, I'm turning 30. Wow! 30 years of living on earth, facing struggles, battling trials, surviving, enjoying life's precious moments. 30 years old would now reflect in my resume's or when filling up any form..not 28, not 29 but 30 years old. The middle adulthood stage. Makes me remember the stages of Growth and Development I once imparted to my students. This age also puts a person at high risk for pregnancy. I know.
What it's like? What's the feeling? I still feel the same thing, same as I felt during my twenties. 30 is only a number, a value. That doesn't change anything. I still am the jolly, sometimes childish bern you knew. There will never be change but will have progress.
Few days ago, 13 going 30 was shown on HBO. I've always love that Movie. I love the eagerness of Jenna in fighting for her love, making her realize and value the true meaning of friendship and love. That friendships [some] does blossoms into love.
Yesterday, MMK on ABS-CBN features the story of an old maid. Were those signs? I don't know. I just laugh at it. People at home would tease me.
In my 30 years, I never regret anything. I may have experience difficult times in achieving my dreams and accomplishing my task but in every way or another, I have given my best.Though sometimes, it just wasn't good enough but I'll try harder and will never give up.
Thanks to those early birds who sent their greetings via text messaging. To my students who made their advance greetings [magkikita pa din naman tayo bukas].
I'm now at a point in my life where people around me would kept asking why until now i'm not yet married. "Why?", they asked. "Why?", I asked myself. I guess I was too busy with my life to be bothered by the thought of settling down. I believed in Destiny. I know God has a purpose why until now I'm single. Single but happy. Free. No heartaches, no pain, no misery [chuckles]. My friends would surely send in their comments or call me when they get to read this.
I actually have a lot of wishes. Few of them were already accomplished and came to reality on the first quarter of this year. Thank you GOD for all the blessings and for the upcoming ones. Good or bad, it's still a blessing. But I'd still prefer the good ones [chuckles].
