13 Going on 30

2013 is a big year for me. It's the year I cross over from a decade of crazy-wonderful memories into this obscure and unfamiliar terrain also known as the 30s - which, by the way happened almost a month ago.

It's weird. I of course do not feel a day older. But something about being 30 has created this mix of response from people: ranging from a condolence high five to a welcome-to-the-brotherhood handshake. 

As with all new discoveries, I leave the 30s to the wind and see where it takes me. It is after all, a whole new adventure. 

I know most people feel differently but I had no fear of turning the curve and have absolutely no hang ups about being 30. One, because when I look back on my 20s, I'm proud to say that I did alright. Wait, let me rephrase. I did it all, not all was right. But in the end it was alright. :) 

I have no regrets. Okay, maybe some hairstyles. But looking at my 20s, I just want to give myself a big high five… for risking, for gambling, for loving, for surviving, for taking leaps and falling, for taking chances and finding happiness.

Cheers to a decade of experimentation -

(my hair has examined the color wheel, the platinum one is a wig. ;))

of exploration - to beautiful and memorable places

of exciting and awesome experiences

of falling in love

of making mistakes

and of having the best times with the best company,and finding some of my favorite people in the world. :)

So what do I look forward to for my 30s? 

Maybe none of the hair experimentation, less mistakes but more of the rest.
A lot more of the rest. :)

Anywhere With You

Here's to more laugh trips and colorful adventures.
Happy birthday. :)

Celebration! :)

I'm celebrating my 2nd year on the island. :-)
So far this has been the happiest time. I can't help but look back
and I'm super psyched for what lies ahead.
