the big 3-0

haven't blogged in so long. crazy schedule, unbelievable.

what had transpired? 2 major CCP performances, reuniting with friends from the US, australia, japan, singapore, and from batches 1979-2004. add to that actually going back to work and getting the groove back. it's been happy/crazy retarded.

but today deserves to be blogged about. it's MY day. i just turned 30 and i wanna remember every moment.

started out with my phone going crazy from text messages of greetings and work reminders.
wore an all-black outfit to work. haha, so me!
in the car, i had 80's mushy music blaring through my speakers, from my ipod of course. *wink*
i was so happy about the fact that there was ab-so-lutely no traffic. on a monday. at 8:15am! and i was color coding! and NO MMDA officers were in sight, i swear! God's so good to me:)
we had a sales meeting. it started with my team giving me a large chocolate cake. aww. so me, ya?:)
gen sales meeting was basically about winnie monsod's last lecture, which i had memorized already!
treated everyone to pizza lunch, and my boss brought turon also. nice.
and surprise, surprise! i was given a half day off! it was my birthday daw kasi. im not complaining. got my butt outta there before the color coding window expires at 3pm! didnt want to push my luck:)
i went home and slept. HAHA! exhausted from the looong and busy weekend.
when i woke up, i had dad buy three whole chickens from chooks-to-go, something we have been wanting to try but have not gotten the chance to do so. pleasant surprise-- it was SO yummy! even the white meat was flavorful! and so cheap!! this wont be the last time!
our helper who just came back last january after a 3-4year hiatus cooked spaghetti. it was exactly how i remembered it and wanted it: aldente and extra cheesy! she hasn't lost her touch!
while we were eating, i noticed that my family was complete! at 5pm, on a Monday! now THAT was a treat:) i realized that my siblings both had night schedules, so i was really the odd one out. a bend in my schedule did wonders. im glad:)
two of my cousins came over, and with my sister, they form the tres marias-- which that they have been known as since the 80's. it was nice to see them complete again!
opened facebook and i was elated to find more than 200 birthday greetings! i really thought, 'wow, ondoy-level flooding of my facebook wall!' it really fattened my heart big time.
i started to answer every single post, and that's what i did til now. but im really sleepy and i have to sleep so i will continue tomorrow. 

i'm not even done with my party preps yet!! eeps!

i was kind of iffy about turning 30, especially this last week.
 it seemed like such a big number, such a milestone in one's life. 
it seemed too adult.
imagine. 30 years of existence. today, exactly. im like an old tree!
but really, i feel like im 20. just wiser, but the energy is the same. 
i now understand the statement '30 is the new 20'. that's exactly how i feel.

i can also feel that this year will be great. i feel that a lot of things will be linked with this age. 
i know that i would eventually be saying 'when i was thirty, i did this and that and went here and there, and had this and that'. 
i can really feel it:)

come to think of it, im actually excited for what's in store for me this year :)
and just like that, being 30 is iffy no more.
