My Life… My Thoughts

I turn 30 today.  When I was younger, the thought of 30 is old.  My mexican co-worker asked me how old I was and when I told him my real age, he was a little surprised.  He said I look 22.  I was flattered.  It is my first birthday here and my boss told me that I am allowed one paid birthday leave.  Since I showed up for work today, I already forfeited it.  But then he promised to pay me one extra day instead.  Cool.  I needed more cash.

But the real reason why I didn’t want to take a leave was because I really have nowhere to go and no one to  be with.  I am normally an active person and I’m afraid that if I would just stay home and bum around, I might end up wallowing in my loneliness.  What a life!  I miss home.  I miss my family. I miss my friends.

But then again, this was the choice I made—one I have to live with.   I could get fired for blogging during office hours but everyone was so easy on me considering that it’s my birthday.  I could only be thankful for all those people who made this day special.  But most of all, I have to thank HIM for granting me another year to enjoy his creation.
