4.5/26. Pathetic. Oh well. Gotta admit, some of them were kinda impossible. I mean, hello. "Hawakan sa tenga si DanGat." Like I could get away alive if I ask him that. Hahaha.
But anyway, today is my 26th birthday and I'm feeling a lot older. I know age is nothing but a number (haha, cliche), but I feel farther and farther from my youth and a hundred cartwheels closer to being middle aged. Another year and I'm already in my mid-20's. That's cause for panic, right? Right???? (Come on, agree with me!!)
A few days before today I was sort of having this crisis, about turning 26 and not having anything to say for myself. I am very far away from who I envisioned myself to be at 26. At this age, my mom was (secretly) married to my dad, and had a career she was excelling in. Other friends and batchmates are getting married and building families of their own. Heck, Clare just bought herself a house and lot! I on the other hand, am a first year law student, having taken 15 months off to join a reality show. That's almost back to square one, if you think about it.
I would never have thought I'd turn out this way if you had asked me this in high school. But then again, this was how I chose to live my 26 years. It may have seemed like I was all over the place, trying out so many things and exploring different facets of my personality, but I don't regret it. At the end of the day, these are the things I'll remember. The seemingly mundane, crazy and off beat things that I've done will make me the cool mommy/lola I want to be in the future. Hahaha.
So, cheers to another year of randomness. 25 was when I became a reality show personality and a law student. A year of extremes, if I may say so; definitely something worth remembering. And for that, I thank you (whoever you are who's reading), old friends, new friends (I've had a lot of those the past year!), my family (including the dog), and the universe, for making things happen for me. Thank you Papa God for another year full of life, love, laughter, tears, fears, joy, excitement and adventure. Looking forward to more of those in my 26th year! :)
