... to me! yeah, i just turned 30 today. a lot of friends emailed that life begins at 30. but i know that when we turn 40, people would also say life begins at 40. then it begins at 50, at 60, and so on. so which is it, really? :) to me, age is but a number! and life is too short so we should make the most out of it, at every chance we get.i spent my day outside the streets of tokyo with my 'ga, even if it was drizzling the whole time. when i got home, i had tons of emails and e-cards from friends and loved ones who remembered. this isn't the first time i am celebrating my birthday away from home, but it's my first time to be greeted by so many people. is it because i turned 30? anyway, i spent my night infront of the pc thanking each and everyone.
looking back, i am just glad and grateful that i managed to achieve at least 75% of the things i wanted to do before i reach this crucial time of my life. some of my wish-lists (which i wrote at age 25) included finding the right man, getting an MA, overseas trips, and helping my family pay off some loans. but i am happy. i never really expected that one day i would get to fulfill these big dreams of mine. and so far, life has been treating me good. and i thank god for it. maybe it's about time i dream bigger. okay, gotta update my wish-lists now...
