Message from Lina: Whatever you want to call it - "Dirty Thirty", "The Big 3-0", "The New Twenty" - I have entered my fourth decade of life. Today, I am 30. I need to be congratulated for making it this far, and in mostly one piece ("Congratulations Lina!"). I blinked my eyes and somehow, those years called my twenties, are gone. What a totally crazy decade. Despite all my mistakes and thinking I knew everything when I pretty much knew nothing, I have a memory bank the size of an iPod storage space full of stupid and funny stories. I have no regrets and that's the way I will live my 30s. What better way to start the first year of this decade and marriage, by travelling the world with my husband and making my dreams come true. This is a photo of me at Kumamoto Castle where we spent my birthday. To everyone who has shared my 20s with me, thankyou. Cheers to more mistakes, more funny stories, more magic to be created and more Moet & Chandon. Happy Birthday to me.

OMG!!!! 30? You are definitely wiser than your 30 years, and have the energy and optimism or a 21 y.o. with the world at her feet. Happy Birthday Lina, and an enormous congrats for being a wonderfully generous and giving person. Also- beautiful birthday shot- very poignant. Wishing your journey continues to be filled with wonderous simplicity and perfection. Big hugs, Thienhuong.
Happy 30th Birthday Lina!!!!

Happy happy happy birthday Lina!!!
The world is a richer place with you in it that's for sure. You couldn't possibly have any regrets in life if this is the result. You are a beautiful angel inside and out and I am thankful that you are my dear friend. You absolutely make humankind so much more kinder and humane. You are amazing. Your contributions are amazing.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I can't wait to be able to celebrate your next one in Oz when you return.
Your blogs and fotos are beautiful and so insightful.
I send you all my love and best wishes and many happy returns.

Dear Lina,
I can't believe we met a decade ago when you fell asleep and started snoring in Property Law! I knew then that we'd be friends forever. Have a very happy birthday! I wish I could be there to share it with you. Hopefully you'll be back in Australia when I turn 30 in 2011.
