Myself at 30...
A month ago I celebrated my 30th birthday. I had most of my friends at home for dinner. It was far from being fancy and flamboyant, but I think all of us enjoyed the evening.
Most of them brought with them as well some booze. I guess, because they know I usually don't serve drinks except for ice teas and cokes. Three tall bottles went to the drain ( our tummy's). but none of us got drunk. I guess most, if not all of us, knows our limits already when it comes to drinking. After all, we don't become 30 for nothing.
Just recently,one of my favorite friend asked me, how does it feel to be finally 30....?
It was a good question. It allowed me to think.
My answer after a long pause was;
I really think am too young to be 30!
Did you ever feel that?
When I was 16, I thought and was convinced that I knew everything about life. But now, I am 30. My age caught me astoundingly.I felt, I was not able to do too much out of my life. Now I am genuinely convinced that I know too little about it.
I wish when I get to forty, I will still look as if when I was 30 huhuuummmm.
Oh by the way, on that dinner I also gave a thank you toast for all my love ones. Here is the copy of it:
To everyone who came, Id like to thank you for sharing with me this special occasion. Ingon pa si Mark Twain wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. Kaya we prepared this evening so all of us can celebrate and remember the good year I had.
Id like to thank the Lord for the great life He has blessed me with. For giving me all the opportunities and for allowing me to have a life that is more than what is basic.
Id like to thank my dad and my mom for this evening, and not only for tonight, but for all, for all over the years. Thank you for striving in giving me nothing but the best when I was young and in fact even up to now. Ingon sila di namo masambtan unsa ma parents not until we become one. But since I am still not, up to this time, I learned its meaning when I married and started standing on my own. Thank you for guiding me well that it spared me from committing uneccessary hurts and mistakes in life. To both of you thank you for being two of my greatest friends more than being my parents
To John thank you for loving me and for putting all my needs and even my wants above yours. And most of all for supporting me in my expensive hobbies at times…. John thank you for accepting me fully and loving everything about me.
To all my friends whom some have been my friends since childhood. Thank you for coming and for always remembering my birthday's and never my age. Salamat for making my life brighter with your presence.
Everyone here tonite are the people closest to my heart… So I hope you all enjoy and pangaon namo ug daghan kay ang sunod sa 50th npd nako.
To my twin sister who is far and whom I miss so much, let us remember her too and pray that all her wishes gets heard by the Lord.
Again, I constantly say I am a lucky person because of, all of you, who love and understand me…. May life continue to be as good and rewarding for me this year.
Cheers to all of us!
