The Big Three-Owh…

27th January 2009 : I am 30 this year. GOD I’M SOOO OLDD!!! Ladies, when you hit the three-mark…you’ll start to search for wrinkles here and there, and start talking the way your mom does…LOL.

It was a quiet 30th birthday well-spent I guess. I was surprised with a cute cake and a present from Starbucks, with a birthday wish sang in the dark by my beloved husband and a ‘tergedik-gedik’ dance by asyraaf to accompany the birthday song…Hahaha. It was the best birthday I ever had. I had my family who loves me, Ipanema cake that I love, and a personal ‘dancer’ at that too… And I have a girl on the way too. What more can a woman ask…

I am blessed, truly, everyday of my life. He took away something, made me learn about life, and gave me something else, more that anything I could ever asked. Alhamdulillah. It’s true, Allah never gives a test that He thinks you cannot handle. I am so blessed.

Life@30 ? It ain’t so bad actually. I once heard on the radio that a woman feel most  beautiful at the age of 32. Why, you ask? Because it is at that age a woman usually has everything a woman wants; a career, a confidence that comes with having a good career, a husband, children, stable economy and life. Yeah well, maybe that’s true. I still have 2 years to go though :-). Ask me again in 2 years if I feel beautiful, if not then you can strike that theory out of your minds! :-)

I have always thought life is going to be harder when you reach this age. More responsibility, more headache, and more complexities in life. But, being here now, it’s not so bad I guess. It depends on how you choose to look at your life. As for me, I think having a family makes me stronger, makes me want to work harder, think of better opportunities to better our lives because… there is nothing more solid a reason to change than for your loved ones. So far, it has worked well for me.  You always know you have someone you love waiting for you at home and you know everything that you do is for those very person.

So life@30? Naah…it’s not so bad….At least, that’s what I keep telling myself! LOL…Wish for our well-being, dunia dan akhirat, may Allah bestow us with more blessings in life…insya-Allah…
