Dryxanne’s Confessions

And I’m not hiding it!

Maybe, at this age, I just don’t understand yet, why some older women find it (a bit) offensive being asked how old they are. Even some women asked me if it’s ok if they asked my age. And I just said, fine, no problem, why?

I’m proud of being 27 today.

Although, looking back, I realized how much older I have grown. From 10 years ago when I was looking to the future with high hopes and dreaming of glory and joyful future ahead, until this second when I am finally here, there’s so many things I’ve been through, and like them or not, those things have molded me into what and who I am today, for better or worse.

I’ve grown (a bit) wiser in certain things, be more tolerant to things I couldn’t bring myself to accept, and also more patience to some other things. On other side, I’ve become easier to get angry. Funny, eh?

My skin grows older, and loses its elasticity (ouch…) in certain areas. And I’ve got more and more of these tiny red spots on my skin that at some point, I actually suspected it to be early stages of skin cancer. Talking about being paranoid…though it didn’t put enough pressure on me to put on sunblock.

I’ve got some more wrinkles at the corner of my eyes. Not so worry though, but they are there. Maybe I’ll start to worry about them in coming 2 years. But then, considering that I’m not such a girl that cares a lot on skin maintenance, I’m worried that in another 2 years I’ll still be mumbling about more wrinkles yet do nothing to stop them. Bad, bad skin…

It’s another 3 years to come, but somehow, just as I was highly expecting my 22 to come coz I planned it to be my graduate year (and I missed it to the next year), or my 25 coz I thought I’d be someone settled with good paid job, a great boyfriend, and happiness all around (and I was starting a new point in my career, no boyfriend, and salary that pretty much was just enough to feed myself), or my current 27 where I actually never expected anything, any stage to be in (and instead, I’m at probably my best year after last 2006), I’m now highly anticipating the coming 3 years, where I’ll be 30 years old.

Somehow, being 30 is just so tempting to my ears, and I can’t wait to live another few years of my life, til one day I realize that, it’s 5 September 2010…!

And I will be 30, flirty, and thriving!

Some wise men said, live your life right at this present moment, don’t worry too much about yesterday, or tomorrow. Don’t rush your life too much that you pass it by without enjoying.

So, today, I proudly say, I’m 27, Single, and I’m happy about it.

Happy Birthday to me!!
