The beginning of life...

Its been a while since i posted something here. I have been busy with work and house chores lately but since im on leave today and tomorrow i can spare a few minutes of my morning time blogging.

Anyway, it was my birthday last tuesday and i was trying to remember what i did last year and what happened to me after  that day. It was my first time to spend my birthday here in Sydney last year and i didnt really do much, we just had a cake and a little food at my brothers house in Kellyville Ridge. I also remembered last year was really the beginning of my life here in sydney. That same day i got my first real job here. A few days later i purchased my car and then a week later i got my aussie 

license. I also started meeting new friends after that.

So my life in Sydney continues, many things happened i've gone places, parties, started playing soccer again, moved out of my brothers house, met more friends, had lots of fun adventures with my new barkada. My life was good, i felt had everything. But suddenly weeks before my birthday this year i felt like there is something lacking, i felt like im not complete. Now i feel like i need something but i dont really know what. My friends say its just because its winter that im bored and that im not doing anything exciting. I dont think so, coz i love winter.

So here comes my birthday and I wasn't in the mood to celebrate. I wanted to just stay home and sleep. I didnt plan anything that day i just want it to get over. I guess when you're in your early 30's you dont really look forward to having big celebrations especially when you're away from home, away from family and friends. 

But, to my surprise when i got home i discovered that my friend Ger and my roomate Migs has started cooking, Ger has texted everyone the day before and planned a small get together for my birthday. That felt really good. I felt special. I know now that i have family and friends here. That made me really really happy on my birthday.

Thank you everyone!!!

So, i realized my birthday is not just the date that reminds me that i am getting old. But this is where my life always begins. This starts a new chapter in my life where i discover new things. I cant wait for things to happen this year, last year was a good year and im sure this year will be awesome!
