at 30

Oh gosh, I'm Three O already!? I still can't say it.. I'm still in denial. I feel old (hikbi!). I used to say that I've decided to stick with just one age.. that's 22. Why? Cause that age is not too young and not too old either.. its a legal age (well except for marriage without consent). But now it seems childish to say that I'm 22 when lines in my eyes are forming, when dark circles are visible under my eyes and these post baby fats are not going anywhere anytime soon. On the bright side, I was able to experience what a WOMAN should by this age: had a fab wedding, survived what they call "hell on earth" a.k.a. labor pains and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy (normal delivery with epidural of course!).

I have been blessed for 30 years with a wonderful family, a mother that will swim a thousand seas and sacrifice her own happiness for her children, a husband that loves and comforts me, a son that fills my heart with joy and given me my life's purpose. Friends, who cares for me and treated me like their own sister.

I thank you Lord for all of these people who became part of my 30 years of existence. and I pray for 30 more and another 30 more years to share with them your blessing.

Adrian woke me up at the strike of midnight to give me my present.
