... 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...

I really miss being around you. Your positive energy is so contagious. Up to now, I still feel that I'm a money magnet. It has become my mantra thanks to you.
