And the day has finally come...
I turned 50.
When I was younger, 50 was like oldy-oldy with grandkids and a ton of accomplishments.
When I was younger, 50 was like oldy-oldy with grandkids and a ton of accomplishments.
But ENNNNNNNGK (buzzer sound na matinis) when turning 50 was around the corner, I realized that I didn't have a lot...
a. I didn't have grandkids (not that I know of... well I better don't).
b. I didn't have a lot of major accomplishments BUT I'm working for a boss whom I idolize and respect soooo much in the number one noontime show in the Philippines.
c. I didn't have a lot of friends (well..... just valued the reals and so lazy to make new ones... ha ha ha).
AND
d. I didn't have the reality of what I projected for when I turned 50.
But you know what? Honestly? Seriously?
I'M JUST FOINEEE WITH IT.
Of course there will always be room for improvement and goals to accomplish, but the good thing though is that I'm not as worried nor insecure of my non-achievements as I did before when I would celebrate my earlier birthdays.
So yeah! The golden 50??? Yohooo!!!!!!
I got actually so excited for 50 because my family and I had a lot of plans -- I saved for multiple travels and plotted all the restaurants that we'll be eating in. Yep. If you saw my other birthdays where we did a lot, trust me, it was going to be double this year.
Or so we thought. He he he he he he! Dan! Dan! Dannnnn!!!!!
I don't want to get into details but like they say if we were initially planning to go West, plans went for the East. He he he he he he! It's okay though because no one may have warned me about life going to be this way (thank you "FRIENDS" series) we still had a LOT to be thankful for. And I think one of the main reasons why I'm now so FOINE and thankful for everything is that life has a way of putting trivial matters in perpective.
So saying that plans did not go the way we wanted to may be an understatement, but believe it or not, EVERYTHING was still memorable and had it's own special charm to it.
We had many unexpected celebrations but they are all something which I will definitely not forget!
One of the best things too is that we have yet to do our initial plans... so yeah, there is still something to look forward to and excited for.... ha ha ha ha! Party party tugs tugs!
Also, looking at the bright side and valuing what we have right now. I just know and pray that everything's going to be better by the grace of God.
So here I am sharing also my simple celebrations... yet I assure you, they're the most memorable, unforgettable, and somehow romantic for me.
And if you ask if given the chance if I'll change anything for the last 50 years? (Well.... apart from hoping that I should've followed BTS sooner so that I'll be able to watch when they were in the Philippines....)
I would say, not a minute.
