On Sunday, December 13, 2009, I'll be turning 27. Yes, time does fly. Three more years, and I'll be 30, then, I'll have to write another blog stating my fulfillments and my goals. Life is really short. Before you know it, you've only got a few more years to look forward to. So, I ask myself and tried to look back, have I achieved my dreams yet? Have I learned from the past mistakes and faults I've committed? Do I act like a normal lady in their late 20's do? And most importantly, am I happy the way I am now?

Since I was a kid, I've always tend to analyze people and why they do what they do. Psychology is actually one of my favorite subjects in college, to the point that I even thought of shifting to Psych course. Now, that's a different story. As a kid, I've always been curious and observant of other people's actions and what usually causes their emotions. What triggers their anger, their happiness, their laughter, especially their sadness. I remember posting here at blogspot about depression. Whether I'm experiencing it at the moment, or was I just so into the book I was reading then (Veronika decides to die by Paulo Coelho). I often get depressed and I wonder what's there to be depressed about. I have almost everything I could ever ask for. I've been in and out of different companies, because I always seek for something. I can't find contentment. I've been in a serious relationship for seven years which still failed. I've had heartaches, pain, fear, grief. But I didn't realize we all do. We all have, in one way or another, experienced failures and hardships in life. And these actually are the ones which makes life even sweeter. Now, I'm turning 27. Only a few days left for the 26-year old me. And I tell myself, answering my own questions. A lot has changed since then. My dreams, somewhat fulfilled, but still working on bigger dreams to be fulfilled. My faults and mistakes, it's been hard but the lessons learned are so worth it and if I have to go back and re-live my life, i'd commit the same mistakes again. They're a big factor of why I am who I am today. How do normal people in their late 20's act? I'm not quite sure about that, but I should give myself credit for doing a good job at it. Act and decide like a mature person if necessary without forgetting to have fun and embrace life and its many challenges. Am I happy? The word "happy" is a bit vague for what I'm feeling right now. Let's just say, for now, I feel blessed for all that's happened to me, and for all the people around me. And I owe it all to GOD. My strength. Thank you for giving me another year to live. More challenges, more responsibilities, more adventures to face. And I'm proud to say, I'm Ready.
