30!

30! I don't know how I'm supposed to feel now that I'm 30...I feel the same. I still like the same things -- ice cream, cartoons, children's and teen's fiction, disney and pixar movies, falling asleep hugging my pillow, milk, playing dress-up, and using big words to sound more mature. :))

Anyway, I may not have any wisdom teeth yet, but I have some nuggets of wisdom, picked up from my ehem, 3 decades of life.  Here are my rules to live by:  Some are a hard, some take practice, some are a work in progress.

1. Always be open to what life has to offer, be willing to try anything at least once.
2. Always assume the best in people and their intentions.
3. Always be honest with yourself. Be honest with other people, but don't sacrifice tact and diplomacy.
4. Love yourself first, you'll find that it's easier to love others when you love yourself
5. Accept that other people are different (or difficult)
6. Pag may kati, pwedeng kamutin, hindi obligatory na pakasalan (words of wisdom from my mom! passed down to me when I turned 18.  Unfortunately, I think she's regretting telling me this because I learned it a little TOO well. hahaha)
7. Don't be afraid to show affection or your feelings.
8. Say thank you and please.
9.  When giving compliments, look the compliment-ee in the eye and smile.
10. Thank God!
