Happy Birthday To Me!

Today I turn 30 years old… and though some people are horrified by the 3-0, I am nothing but excited. I’m dead-on my life’s mission, including experiencing the good, the bad, and learning as much as possible, sometimes through my own stubbornness, and sometimes by learning from others’ mistakes.

My 20s were good. Starting today, I’ll be able to say, “I remember my 20s…” They had their place. I came to Canada from Venezuela; graduated from university; lived in Japan; experienced being in love; learned to live alone; had a fair share of success and failure; and learned from everything that came across my path – and I still do most of these things.

Here’s a list of 30 tid-bits about me:

1. I’m 30 years old.
2. I have 30 brothers – minus the “0”.
3. I never put my correct date of birth on social networking sites.
4. I love good sushi and sake.
5. I get excited by small things.

18. I was born in Venezuela.
19. I’m adaptable.
