My 30th Birthday Blog

Happy 30th Birthday to me! I just finished a short prayer to God about how thankful I am for this wonderful life that he gave me. I also prayed my wish and dreams to him, nothing big and I know that His ways are greater than mine. Wow, I reached 30! I'm so blessed with the life I have right now. 

I have a loving husband, supportive family both sides and good friends who still around despite my craziness and attitude. I won't be here and be honed to the person I am today if it weren't for them. Let say it like this, 50% God, 30% family including husband, friends, everyone, 10% life then 10% me. In reality that's what I think how I become who I am. I apologize for the rough draft I am not sure if it's accurate, but that's how I see it. Thank you to everyone who is been a part of this amazing ride!  

Hobbinton Town, New Zealand

I'm glad for all the adventures of in between of my 29 years. I never expected that I will visit a lot of places, meet a lot of people, see different cultures, and even made a lot of friends all over the world. I thought it will always be just a dream, but when you have parents like mine who push you to reach that dream and you listened I can tell you it can happen. Dream, chase your dream, reach it and make it happen. I never expected it, I prayed for it and it is an answered prayer. God blessed me with adventure feet. Actually, I wanted to be a doctor, but then again that's not where my heart is. When I was young I always say that I'll see the world, and I did well parts of it though. Who knows I can spread my wings and fly to this places. I'm happy I have my family who works so hard so I can reach my goals. I tell you for them we are their achievements. I don't know how much it means to them, but I know my parents are proud despite being a stubborn daughter. I visited a lot of places and I cannot wait to visit more for I've got my adventure buddy with me and together we will see the world. I sounded hopeful, thrive is the key, persistent and that urge to do what you want to do then it will.

It's been a wild ride like I always say, it is not always up and it is not always perfect, but I am happy. On this day I wanted to let go of everything that will hinder me from moving forward, I wanted to focus on the road that God has for me. I want to focus on my husband, my friends and all the good things that my hand can grasp. Elsa says, "The past is in the past." I had a hard time letting go and that is not a good thing. I told to myself enough is enough, their lives are different than mine, they chose theirs and I have to choose mine. To the people, I hurt I apologize and I will have my own Karma for that, to the people who hurt me Karma will deal with you in time I don't have any grudges and forgiveness might not be an option, but I will live it in the hands of God. It is time for me to face the life ahead, to look on the bright side of it. Grow and learn, do the things I love and chase after more adventures. I'm blessed and I'm thankful that will be enough I guess. I prayed that God continues to teach me in this walk of life, to be humble, courageous, strong-willed, fun, crazy and loving.

For this 30 years of my life, I hope that I continue to sore, to succeed, to discover and to let not be discouraged however tough it can get. Let it be my stepping stone to thrive. I pray as me and my husband build a family, we build a strong one. I wanted to live a legacy for my future children, I have great to story to tell and values to share. As I continue this walk, this is the beginning of me, a new version of me. At the end of the tunnel, I can say I have no regrets. I learned a lot of things for the past 29 years, sometimes I say where are those years went? I'm overjoyed and overwhelmed as I recap everything in my head. It was a great life. I'm not wealthy nor my family, but we are rich with friends, love, happiness and the simplicity of life. My family passed great values to me so I can pass it on to the next generation. Happy Birthday to me and here's to many more!
