A year shy of the dreaded 3-0

Yup, that's me. I just turned 29 last week.

Some people I know were terrified of turning 30. Some even pretended (fooled themselves into thinking) they are 1 year younger. I can't understand why.

"Tell me next year how you will feel" writes my friend. Well, I guess she's right. I surmise it is still early for me to feel the depression of turning 30. If ever it hits me (or not), that is.

Just like post partum depression. I thought it was just overrated and theoretical. I never expected it to ACTUALLY happen to me. But it did.

Never say never!

PS. Had a mighty fine birthday. Hubby gave me (actually I asked..hehehe) an early present which I likey very much. =)

I used to think hitting 3-oh was overrated too, until it happened to me. Harharhar. It feels different and although I tried to make it look like it wasn't a big deal for me, the truth was that it was. Not because of getting a year older, I didn't really mind that... oh ok, that hit me a teensy bit... but moreso because I loved my 20s. I wrote about it in my blog... about how (for me) it was the best decade of my life.

It's been 3 months since I turned 30 and so far, so good. Hehehe, only I can't really get away with some of my tantrums anymore; hubby says they're kinda childish na. Oh well. The good thing, of course, is no one suspects I'm 30, and when someone passes me off as 27 or 28-ish, I let them be. After all, I don't look the part. :P

Hi May. Seen your pic and I absolutely agree. You don't look a day older than 27! No kidding.

I think blogging about it is as good as saying I'm already dreading it? Hahaha!
