Im turning 28 next month! (April 17 to be exact. I'm
expecting that you all took note of that date ya? :p) .. wait, 28?! .. Time to
hit the panic button! haha!
No really, how do I really feel about it? -- weelllllll, ya.
im excited. its the late 20's baby! .. but on second thought, wait again ..
now, that looks and sounds scarier than I expected! I think I really need to
hit that button! Now!
I'm turning 28 next month and being that
birthday person that I am, well, im looking forward to it .. although this
year, no matter how badly want to throw a big welcome to the late 20's birthday
bash and invite all of you .. i can't. i won't .. because my birthday falls on
holy thursday and there are no parties allowed on that day (for Catholics at
least) .. but im not fussing about it, im actually prepared to close my eyes in
deep deep thoughts on that day to think and pray and just appreciate and
reflect on my 28 years here on earth.
Not so bad right? After all, what better
way to start another year. another milestone than with a prayer :) AMEN!
Anyway. I wouldn't want to fast track on
that yet as I would like to savour the last few weeks of my awkward 27's. Haha!
.. I'm not kidding. It is really awkward maaaan! I just realized that
after reading a blog post about why 27 is a weird age .. and I thought only
adolescents go through that stage .. but then you turn 27 and then it happens!
Although you would never admit it because, well, your 27! A supposedly mature
adult who has been through a lot of craziness in life already? Hell no! You've
already gained super powers to fight off anything that life throws at you so,
no, not awkward, not even weird.
"17 reasons why 27 is the weirdest age" .. upon
reading the title, I was "Really? *smirk! .. 17 reasons some more?>
CMON!" .. Then, I started reading and from the "Really *smik!" I
instantly went "mmhmm" followed by "uh-huh" "oh yeah
..." "oo nga nh!" .. "well that explains it" .. then
by the end of the article I was sobbing, I can't believe after everything I
have been through, I still have to go through an awkward stage. And I thought I
am already weird enough to be even more weird .. er! Noooooooooooooooooooo!
..
Haha! Ok. so just delete the sobbing part right there. That
did not happen. I repeat, the sobbing DID NOT happen! hahaha :p .. but yeah.
towards the end of my reading, i was going "OO NGA" in full force! My
27's was finally explained, whatever it was, is, will be ..
I guess I read too much blogs that I seemingly get affected
by things like this one, but well, I guess not everyone will agree, will
relate, will believe, will go "oo nga" full force too but im still
sharing it anyway! My blog, my posts! haha! :p
Her, click on the link and just read. It does make sense,
even if you are not 27 and awkward and its funny and true if you are ..

Hep! So before you proceed and forget to come back .. my
final thoughts first. The part where I play the part of the inspiring blogger
(ahihi :p) .. Here goes ..
So, 27. When asked to describe how it was .. well, I did not
get pregnant on purpose this year, I have not even gone out on a real date,
date for fox's sake! I did think I was going to die at some point until I
brushed off the idea because I haven't met the one yet, so no, dying is not an
option. For some reason I pretend to not know, some people still cant believe
i'm 27! Do I act too childish? or do I just really look like a little lost
girl? *sigh! after all the booze I can tolerate now? darn! change plans! Haha!
.. On a more positive note, I reflected on the relationships I've had, the
relationships I have, my career choices, my personal decisions and get ready
for a standing ovation you guys because I am proud to have been what I've been
through, that did what I had to do, that I truly loved/hated like crazy, that I
took risks and embraced the changes, that I fought against self destruction and
that even I still give the reason that "I am young and still figuring out
things", well at least I am not an aimless mess who is totally not
satisfied with my life. Yes, I kinda know some shit, not a lot, but some.
So definitely, aside from all that and the mini and big
achievements and memories along the way, let me include, awkward and
weird to my being 27.
The good kind of awkwardness that is. That kind that makes you
see the world in a different perspective, the kind that prepares you for the
real late 20's and all the ooomph associated with that age .. and if it is that
kind of awkward then I am proud to have experiences and surpassed it .. if
that's the case then being 28 will be a piece of cake -- a 5-tiered cake. It
may be overwhelming, it may be too much too handle but I guess there's a reason
27 has all the awkwardness and the weirdness and stuff .. because it prepares
you for a grand 28 and in all aspects all will be well :)
Now to all those who have survived this
stage, congratulations! To those who have yet to experience the magic, good
luck and I hope you get out of it alive .. and for those who are in the zone,
enjoy whatever it is while it lasts, just for a year, turn it into an amazing
story to share when you are 50 and reflecting of your life.
You may now proceed to the article, thank you and see you
again soon!
As for me, I still have a month or so to
have legit 27 feelings .. so to my family and friends, pardon the awkwardness
and all the weirdness that comes along for the next few days .. If its not the
birthday blues then its because I am still and only 27, I am not old!
