Turning 29

Its that time of the year again...

Honestly, I don't know what to feel. I'm not exactly ecstatic about it because I'm now a year older and inching very closely to that feared 30 bracket. But I'm not also depressed about it - I'm too busy to be bothered by such depressing, "have-not-achieved-anything-at-this-stage-in-my-life" thoughts. That I will do for my next birthday. Hee.

29 sounds so old. When I was in high school, I'd thought people at that age would have their own families, kids and very successful careers. I feel like I'm still twenty two, brain-wise and yeah, maybe feelings-wise. 29 sounds so mature. Eh, my friends know that I can be the most immature person on earth. I like simple, playful and non sense "babaw" things -- things that a 29 year old succcesful father of three would not even attempt to do or say. 29 sounds so wise. And I'm really stupid. The last 28 years of my life may have great moments but there were also a lot of opportunities that came by without me risking to grab it - just because of my stupidity. 29 sounds so successful. And I'm not even close to it. I have actually given up the thought of being successful in my line of work. Reality is just kicking in and I really think I won't get rich in advertising.

I may sound pathetic but I'm really OK and not feeling all depressed after that paragraph of negativity... because I know that I had millions of great memories & experiences & people for the last 28 years of my life and I can't wait for the millions more after turning 29.
