musings on my birthday
I just turned 29 today, and I wonder if the world became a better place when I was born, if I have done enough to contribute to making the world a better place in my nearly 3 decades of tenure in the planet. I have been lucky enough to have enough loving relationships so that I can also love people back enough. And I have been lucky to have experienced enough hardships to make me strong. I have lived my life almost exactly as I want to live it, and I have no regrets. I am proud of what little I have accomplished, in what I have contributed, and I hope that I will be given more opportunities in the coming years to contribute more to humanity and to the environment.
I just turned 29 years old today. Its supposed to be my special day,
but I do not have the luxury of doing what I want to do most today,
which is spend the whole day being pampered in a seaside spa. For once,
I can’t afford it, and second, I don’t knowsuch a place within a 50 km
radius from our house. And I have a lot of things to do today, so I
will settle for a one-hour footspa or body massage in my favorite spa
in Duumaguete. I deserve it, I have been working hard. And I have been
so stressed lately because of Orrin’s recent sicknesses and work. I
really need to take a breather today, even for just a couple of hours. But even though this year has been kind of tough, I am still grateful for many things. I have been blessed to have a loving and supportive family, and a career. Even though the demands on my time are very high nowadays, I can still find time to breathe once in a while,and for that I am really grateful.
I just turned 29 today, and I am so looking forward to turning 30. There willbe no birthday party this year, but hopefully next year, the birthday party that I have always wanted will come true. And i will top counting my age also, because I would like to be 30 forever.Age is just an age anyway, and we are as old as we feel. I look forward to the coming years with all its challenges because I know I will always have my friends and family around. Life is really great when you do not have to go through it alone. =)
