Turning 30 a day before Christmas
Today, I am officially 30. I thought it was going to be scary leaving my 20’s behind. But the truth is, it really wasn’t that at all as I thought it would be. I wasn’t quite receptive at first, but now, I’m glad that I have reached this stage in my life... like I had a choice? Age is just a number as they say, but as long you keep telling me that I look 20, I’ll be fine. LOL. I’m really stoked about it now. You know, the new age comes with new plans and ideas. Its like, I was given with a new set of planners for next decade to come. And I’m all for planning.
My life in my 20’s was one of the amazing years in my life. I truly believed that I lived the most significant parts of my life within those years. Bittersweet and yet fulfilling. I never met so much change and challenge and yet here I am, I think for the better. I raise a toast to that. So goodbye 29 and hello sexy 30.
So what am I going on my birthday? I really don’t know. I think I’ve become one helluva boring person. I’m done with all my birthday and Christmas shopping. Did that weeks ahead, just to avoid the mad rush of inconsiderate shoppers. Its funny, I think I’ve spent so much on myself this time than the gifts for my friends (Yes, I’m a stingy bastard). I already bought myself loads of presents. I should be put behind bars for being an impulsive shopper. Never in my life, that I would buy and spend so much cash on shoes, but I did. I really loved my buys. I now know how Imelda felt about shoes and she isn’t alone on this one. It’s always been my Christmas tradition to buy myself something to wear on Christmas day itself. This year, I am going white. I got this cute white top, skinny jeans and white shoes. And I bought this red Lacoste sling bag just to add color… and I don’t even have any plans to go anywhere. I just love to dress up for the holidays. P bought me some designer shirts and red shoes (I insisted that I MUST get my birthday present separate from my Christmas present or hell will break lose! Lol) and I bought him perfume, shoes, shirts and leather sandals (as his requests - we stopped surprising each other but instead we just asked each other what we wanted for Christmas, that usually saves all the hassles) And we bought each other Iphones. It’s not with me though, it’s with P. He is with his family in Hawaii, celebrating Christmas and a funeral… ironic eh? I miss him terribly. Its actually the 2nd time that he missed my Bday and will miss Christmas and New Year without each other.
I think I’m set for tomorrow. But what am I to do today?
I think I’ll just bring my macbook and sit this birthday out at starbucks or go shoe shopping again, which ever comes first.
Ops… I almost forgot.
Happy Holidays Everyone.
