thirty!

...and i just wanted to shout and prolong it,,,,i wanna tell the world that i'm already thirttttyyyy! so proud to say it! haha.

I realized just last week that my age right now is my favorite number. It just dawned on me that I am actually already 30. (I know, it took me half a year to realize that but for some reason for the past few months I felt like I was in a cave and have just recently emerged, ergo, the late realization…)

For the past years, my favorite number is 2 and 0, and since my age was already added by 10, I just thought, maybe this year things will turn out to be very positive for me at this time of year.. Hmm..
Hopefully it is! 

Just for curiosity sake though, I googled the number 30 and found some interesting stuff relating to the number:

In the Bible:

The number 30 can symbolize dedication to a particular task or calling. Aaronic priests were dedicated to serve at 30, in part because it was the age when a person reached both physical and mental maturity and could therefore handle major responsibilities. 

The number thirty can also represent the sacrificial blood of Jesus. He was betrayed by Judas for 30 silver coins, which was a fulfillment of prophecy (Zechariah 11:12)

 In 30 A.D. Jesus suffered and shed His precious blood as God's sacrificial Lamb for the world's sins.

In numerology:

Great communication skills, being super-creative and entertaining are attributes of the number 30.  30 is popular and well liked by all and enjoy having a good laugh and a fun time. 30 is known to be a cheeky and charismatic energy.

In Science:

The atomic number of zinc is 30. 

Astronomy: The New General Catalogue object NGC 30, a double star in the constellation Pegasus

In other fields:

The number of days in the months April, June, September and November.

The minimum age for United States senators

In years of marriage, the pearl wedding anniversary

A stage in young adulthood

Part of the name of: The movie title 13 Going on 30, starring Jennifer Garner, 30 Days of Night,                                   a comic  book miniseries and film.

Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Matthew 26:15.

July 30 is the 211th day of the year (212th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 154 days remaining until the end of the year.

Wow, who would’ve thought one number (or two in this case) could signify a lot of different things..(some even quite serious and thought-provoking) and I didn’t really think too much about it, (well, that is, until today) I was only going to google for images but saw other things as well.

Anyway, no matter what the number means to different people and various areas, I just really wish it means “a good year”. 

Cheers to being 30! :-)
