Round 27 ;)

Two (2) and seven (7).  These are the numbers that I need to get used to hearing, writing, and reading.  Well, being 27 is not much of a challenge, since I have come to believe that age is just a number.  I remember when I was still in high school, I would picture myself as a grown-up lady – working in an office; drinking and catching up with my girl friends; traveling with, err, my boyfriend.  As of this moment, I think the first two have been realized.  The third one, well, maybe in the nearer future.  After all these years, I still feel that nothing has changed much.  I am still young, not so wild, and free.  Sometimes, random thoughts would hit me and what-ifs would besiege my mind.  What if I enrolled in a different school?  What if I took a different course?  What if I applied in a different company?  All these and that will just eventually expire after someone would bring me back in the now.  After everything that God has made me go through, I think by now, I am doing just fine.

For 27 years, I got to meet a lot of people.  I know that a bountiful more will come to give part in the completion of my existence.  For 27 years, I got to experience the culture of different places – three overseas and the others locally.  I am positive that I would be able to visit a lot, lot more places.  For 27 years, I am fortunate to have a profuse number of wonderful friends.  They form part of the reason why I am this crazy.  For 27 years, my family’s support never changed.  They have always been there for me, guiding and loving me, with or without flaws.

It has only been 27 years.  I know that I still have a long way to go.  As I go on, the past will always be precious.  The future will always be important.  But, it is in the present that I choose to live.

Cheers to being 27 and for 27 more years and more to come.
