I'd usually say, I can't believe it! I turned 27! But no. My reaction is more like added joy as every year passes by. I love the feeling of adding more years into my life. By coming into this world, I am aware that it will be such a wonderful adventure.

Oh, just look at my old selves. *points* The stubborn and free-spirited child has now become a Mommy! I once asked myself, "Yvie, what do you really want to be when you grow up." I didn't answer at first. I knew in the back of my mind that I would love to have a family---a happy family. I was so specific at what I wanted. I don't find it strange choosing this over my career. I am just confident that in any (career) path that I'll take, it'll always be great. All is well, so to speak.

27---barely 30 but the angst and all those teen hormones is long way gone! XD I now hum a different tune, I now skip a different beat, I now happily glide into consciousness with a positive belief, that this life---this earth is our heaven. :D

27 to 100+! XD!

I am so looking forward to a very beautiful life ahead of me---us. I don't worry about the future, I no longer dwell in the past. What matters is NOW. The now that is so beautiful, the me that has become so wonderful in many ways.

I believe that the best gift that you can give to yourself is love. Love in the context of accepting yourself, what you have become and who you're going to be.

And so as I close this entry with a smile, I say, "Happy birthday to me!"
