Season 29

It seems like every end has a beginning. Like death has an afterlife or how a new country pops up after every war. I recently finished my work with Asean. Eleven months of hard work later, you have this final product, which, to me, is more of a mature version of me. I hate to think I’ve reached a point; I mean, it’s always better to have something to look forward to.

I turned 29 three days ago. Unlike a lot of people who are so negative about ageing, I seem to like it. The whole embrace to a better understanding of life and how it’s dealt, the wrinkle under your eyes or the feeling of not being lost are all part of this ‘ageing’ package and I LOVE it!

I’m just a bit overwhelmed at my life right after I turned 29. I finished two presentations in a workshop managed by me. Not only did I get a job offer at the UN, but one of my colleagues received an email about how one agency was keen on having me on board as a program co-ordinator for this survey they are doing in South Shan state. I seem to be doing a better job at staying true to my boyfriend of seven months, who I recently broke up with online. I think the fact that we don’t put ourselves under the status seems a bit more promising. Since the breakup online, we seem to just think of each other. He told me he’s learnt from the breakup but he doesn’t know he’s not the only one who’s learnt stuffs. I, myself, have indeed discovered how much I love him and how much I cannot stay without him around me. Sometimes, it’s just a bit impossible to not know that he’s with me. As for the status, I do fear that he would go back to the whole green eyed monster stage, which was the whole point of me initiating the break up. I just thought that I rather be his boyfriend for real when I meet him, when finally I could stop him in between arguments and make things better as opposed to watching his greyed out ID on gtalk with his last words. It’s worth the wait.

I’m planning to go to Bangkok to visit my mom and sister next week and I’m proud to say that this is the first ever time I’m paying for my own airfare. My conversation with my grandparents have been back to being ‘regular’ from ‘ignorance’ and ‘silence’ in the past few months.

I’ve also come up with a new strategy for my album, to which I’ll probably have to carry out in the next few days.

The years ahead sound promising and it’s up to me to make the best of it…..
And of course, I’m more than ever willing to accept any flaws to come my way cos that’s what made me better all along.

Dear blogreaders, welcome to season 29 of my almost all-genre TV series!!!
In another words, my life!
