29 things I learned before being 29
In a few days I am turning 29, personally I dreaded each time of the year when I have to celebrate my birthday because it forces me to think back to what happened last year and as such theres always a negative thing or two to look back to, but there are also a lot of good things to always remember and keep in heart.
But first I honestly don’t think I’d reach this age, I mean being close to thirty is not too bad it just means your way of thinking should differ (or it should be close to being different from kids) meaning thinking about getting a family and keeping a huge savings account is always at stake couple that with the concern over one’s health because at this particular age this is when all the kinds of abnormalities in your family’s genes springs up (diabetes, cancer, High-blood, Heart problem) which unfortunately all my grandparents died of.
Nevermind the taste for fashion which I eternally never had, lets just say that being close to thirty is “panickable” and while I am most accustomed to being paranoid than being responsible I think its high time I follow what is most important nowadays.. That is… earning more money.
So before much further ado I here’s my list of 29 things I learned before turning 29:
1. You can try forgetting about someone when you’re awake, but you can never take that someone out of your dreams.
2. Forgiving is like setting yourself free, people don’t know but when you forgive somebody you’re practically helping yourself more than you imagine.
3. You can work all you want and earn lots of money in a company only until recession knocks you out.
4. Hope is the making and undoing of man.
5. Regret is equitable to learning.
6. The end of education is to build character.
7. Intelligence can only go as far as the demands of man and his/her generation.
8. You can have always have the things you need, but not all the things you want.
9. Poverty is a subset of man’s greed.
10. I don’t have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) I just have too much energy to waste.
11. When you were young you can go three rounds in bed but by now you say you like quality over quantity.
12. U.P. Diliman is a place where I find myself.
13. U.P. Cebu is the place where I found myself.
14. Love can only be defined by itself.
15. The internet is created to alienate us and at the same time connect us with millions of people in the world.
16. Filipinos are made to dominate the world through its workforce.
17. Music is the food of the soul.
18. You’ve never lived your life if you haven’t climbed a mountain.
19. My prayer is that every person in this world will plant a single tree and make it grow.
20. We are not alone in this great universe.
21. There is a God, and He exists to represent all that is good and right.
22. We will all die someday.
23. Money is the root of all evil unless you know how to handle it.
24. Karma doesn’t exists, if it does then our country would’ve been better off by now.
25. Television is the root of all envy.
26. Jiu-jitsu is definitely an art, painful but an art.
27. Happiness is equitable to contentment.
28. Discrimination is existent only because we allow it to exists, the same goes for everything negative in this world.
29. Starting your own business is the only way out of poverty.
So Happy birthday to me and Happy birthday to everyone who’s celebrating their birthday with mine.
Ciao!
^_^
