middle of the year, middle of the decade

It is the 6th month of the year 2005, it is the middle of the year and also of the decade. I realized this when it is already due to renew my passport. Has it been five years since I renewed my passport in Palawan? And now I am applying again for a new passport. Although my passpost expires on Dec 6, 2005, it is recommended that one has at least six months of valid passport to be allowed entry to most countries. Wandering, traveling brings much anticipation, of places to see and people to meet.
