On my 39 years of existence I am always grateful for all that happened in my life. Good things that I truly enjoyed and bad experiences that served as hard lessons.
These are my life reflections. Wink-wink.
Health: My memories are still vivid na karga ako ni Nanay and tumatakbo papunta kay Dr Almazan. It’s clear in my mind nung ang daming tao lagi sa bahay namin because suddenly I can’t stretch my legs and can’t walk. Asthma attacks? Yes I have those until college days. Very flimsy creature ako ano? Haha!
But now, you can challenge me to walk 20k steps for days. I can do HIIT for 90mins and jog 5KM. I can say that I am healthier than my younger years. But syempre since I am ageing I am taking extra care sa mga buto-buto ko and extra effort to know ang wants and rejections ng katawan ko.
Money: Dahil natapos na ang una naming goal for HOA mas nakakaluwag na kami ni Abbey ngayon. Dati cut-to-cut, walang malalaking travels..umaasa sa mga pa-contest and freebies para makanood kami ng sine. Lahat yan ay para makaipon, ngayon may kaunting room to wiggle na para sa susunod naming goal and we alloted funds to enjoy life.
Now we are looking forward to more opportunities where to invest para sa HOW.
Career: I am thankful to every boss and everyone na nakatrabaho ko. Madami akong natutunan sa inyo. This is my struggle now. Confusion that I need to clear out para sa sarili ko at ikakatahimik ni Abbey. Haha!
Friendships: Salamat Elite. I realised na mahal talaga namin ang isa’t-isa. Ang problema ng isa ay problema ng lahat. Ang success ng isa ay success naming lahat.
I am opening up myself for new friendships. Sa mga introverts na tulad ko, nakaka-relate kayo? Ang hirap diba?! Out of the box. Haha. So please bare with me.
Relationship: Dahil wala nga akong trabaho since 2020, 24/7 magkasama kami ni Abbey nung pandemic era. Di kami nag-aaway at ang matindi di kami nag-kakasawaan. Lalong nagkakilanlan at lalong tumibay. Ang cheesy! Hehe.
Family: We lost Nanay and somehow it gave us an emotional turmoil. Hanggang ngayon there’s a longing na sana andyan pa sya.
But we do not have time to delve in that past, so here we are making new memories with Tatay.
Selfcare: I have personal battles that I know I have won. The key thing for this is to know what triggers it.
Knowing yourself is not an easy job. There are lies you are telling to yourself that became your truth. Accepting my flaws, limitations and when to stop the fight is the best thing I have learned before hitting 40.
Spirituality: I am always sticking in my beliefs and glad that Abbey never bypassed those.
Well that’s my life before 40. It is playful, painful, crazy, daunting, euphoric and hopeful life!
Happy 40 sa aking mga ka-1983! Let’s all welcome our 40 with a grateful and blessed heart and mind! Kaya natin ito!
