What... Me, 30?!

In 31 days and 12 hours, I will be turning 30 years old.

I wonder if it is the time for me to look toward the uncertain future with anxiety and anticipation or for me to start anew. To face questions about my so-called career, my relationships, my physical appearance and overall youthfulness is really a tough task.

What I know is that come my 30th birthday it should be a special time. It means living another year and another year to grow and for me to continue making every dream come true.

So, before I hit the Big 3-0, I have so many things to be thankful for.

I am thankful for my family and my yayas, who has always been there for me. I am thankful for my friends, who have been accommodating and understanding in every aspect of my life. I am thankful for my doctors and nurses, who keep a close eye on me. Most importantly, I thank God for giving me the life I have. I am thankful to have seen another year. I am thankful to be alive.

On that special day, I will definitely eat lots of cake and ice cream; I hope to get many presents, many well-wishers and lots of dancing!
