Waterfall & Wings Version 1

あっという間に、it has already been almost 2 mths since my last post??? Gosh... times surely FLIES. im so sorry for this MIA!! I keep telling myself i need to update i need to update. No wait, it's "i WANT to update". So many times things have happened and i tell myself, i wanna talk about this on my blog, but never got down to it. =/ And by the time i do, either i've lost the motivation to talk about that subject, forgot, or just half asleep by the time i get to Blogger.

Anyway, a friend of mine sent me this email just as i graduate from being a girl in her "100% mid-twenties" recently. *cough* Is that bimyo enough?? I don't know about you guys, but it has been personally rather erm.. intimidating experience?? Hmm, i can't find a better word. Just that when u hit a certain age (i think around 22 for me?), at every birthday, u compare yourself with your peers and start to think about what you have achieved the past year. And whether that is sufficient to justify your age. Eto.. am i making sense?? And of cos, the fears of growing up and aging. I can't believe that i have graduated from university for 3 years already!!! It seemed like yesterday.. and i still don't feel 100% comfy in the Adult World. And there's the pressure of acting your age. But after reading the email my friend sent me, it convinces me that there is no point ACTING one's age. Just BE yourself. Don't worry about certain things just because you are already a certain age. Life is short. We oughta do whatever we want while we still can. You never know what will happen tomorrow. (Hey, i just justify all my concert attendances up there. LOL.)

George Carlin's Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half. (This is so true. LOL!) You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

"How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED ; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.
But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT !

You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch;
you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime And it doesn't end there.
Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I Was JUST 92."

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little
kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!"

May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1.. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height.
Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them".
(But i still can't help worrying about the 3kg i gained since i came here. Haha.)

2. Keep only cheerful friends . The grouches pull you down.
(You hear that people?? Don't give me wrinkles!!)

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.
(I will.)

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
(Thinks the weekly dose of Zubari. XD)

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
(THIS SENTENCE has really a great impact. It is so true... Be GOOD to ourselves!!!)

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
(Girls, that just justify all our T&T posters, albums, singles, calendars, flyers, photos, uchiwas, penlights, mufflers etc etc etc.. Hahha...)

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
(I believe in this 100%. If you or your loved one is not healthy, you do not enjoy ANYTHING. And that is so taxing on the heart.)

9 Don't take guilt trips . Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
(Err.. guilt trip tte nani??)

10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
(That just justifies all the screaming we do at concerts.. ahhaha... But ok, i wun forget... I LOVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!! You hear that pple?? Now keep yourself healthy and don't worry me, understand???)

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away .
(Applause. *pachi pachi pachi*)

And if you don 't send this to at least 8 people - who cares I do? But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!
(And im posting this up here so that everyone who reads my blog gets inspired by this text as much as i do!!)
