Since it was my 25th birthday, I guess I should incorporate a certain gimmick to commemorate this life milestone. But there’s no time to come up with one! Haha!
I’ve written numerous drafts for this post, and ended up starting over. I wish I could share something non-cliché but all I want to say is actually just quite simple. So simple that any 25-year old would probably say the same thing, haha!
My first 25 years as a person here on earth has been wonderful and memorable. But I must say that the last 4 or 5 years has been especially momentous and crucial, hehe. I’ve had a pretty normal and enjoyable childhood and teenage years, but the latter part my college life and its protracted extension were both positively and negatively eventful, I feel like it summarizes my life so far.
At 25, I feel like I’ve been through so much already and yet I know that there are still a lot of things I haven’t done that I should’ve done by now. But one thing is for sure, I know that my 25-year experience and the lessons I’ve learned from it will be what I would need to go through the next 25 years of my life. I know that this era will be much tougher. The worst of the problems I’ve had before would be nothing compared to the problems I’d face many, many years from now. But I just know that my parents raised me well (even as they think otherwise during the occasional sermons that I still get even if I am already 25, haha) and that I will be ready with each challenge as it comes, may it be emotional, spiritual or even financial, haha.
On a lighter note...
On the night of my 25th birthday, I was awaken in my nap by my beloved Aguman orgmates with a chocolate cake and a loads and loads of isaw. This is the third straight year I was surprised on my birthday by friends. Nako, baka masanay ako niyan. Next year, mag-eexpect na ako. Haha! I wanted a meaningful and heartwarming birthday, and that was exactly what I got. ;)
