Well, can't remember how long since my last post. It is due to heavy workload and all kind of stuff. Firstly i thought of leaving this blog dead. Than one of my friend started to ask me a lot about my blog. Well man, thanks a lot for the inspiration. You just kick me back in the blogosphere.

The topic for today, well it is related to all of us regardless of our ages. It is about GETTING OLD.

Do you think you are getting old? or do you think you just start living your live now? Well, from my point of view OLD can be seen in a lot of different aspect.

1. Old as an old man (hunch, lost of sight, hearing problems and you will see your skin as you forgot to iron your cloth.)

2. Old as in thinking ( too sensitive, too irrational and not suitable to be use at the time.)

3. Old in manners ( this is the most important definition regarding old. Both negative and positive. Will you be a responsible adult or the other.)

So, do you think you are old now? And in which view you would like to see old in?

You only hurt yourself when you're not expanding and growing. Many people can't stand the thought of aging, but it's the crystallized thought patterns and inflexible mind-sets that age people before their time. You can break through and challenge your crystallized patterns and mind-sets. That's what evolution and the expansion of love are really about.

Plato once said, The spiritual eyesight improves as the physical eyesight declines.

What change will you do now?

Our world is now so much different. Kids are allowed to be adult more earlier nowadays. Their first responsibility is to look after themselves. The world is a very wild place. There is danger lurking in every corner. Be responsible to yourself, look out for your self. No matter what your ages is, you have been given a brain to use wisely. That is the only thing that differentiate us from animals.

We are very rebellious at this stage. Its okay. Be a responsible rebellion. Source your idea to the correct path. Make sure your voice is heard. One voice worth a million fight and war against each other. You will fight for your ideas, but fight in the correct way.

We are one in this small world. We are getting old every single day. The day we will be leaving this world come closer every single second. Don't be afraid to get old.

That is all from me now I think. Got a lot of catch up to do. Can't wait to here from you in the comment box below. Thanks a lot.

oh, and here something for you to read.

You Know You're Getting Old When...
Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. Your back goes out more than you do. The twinkle in your eye is only the reflection of the sun on your bifocals. You feel like the morning after when you haven't been anywhere the night before. You finally got your head together, now your body is falling apart. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size. You wake up with that morning-after feeling and you didn't do anything the night before. You don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along. It takes twice as long to look half as good. Many of your co-workers were born the same year that you got your last promotion. People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?" You can live without sex but not without glasses. The clothes you've put away until they come back in style... have come back in style. You look forward to a dull evening. Your mind makes contracts your body can't keep. The pharmacist has become your new best friend. There's nothing left to learn the hard way. You come to the conclusion that your worst enemy is gravity. You start video taping daytime game shows. You quit trying to hold your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room. Your idea of a night out is sitting on the patio. You look for your glasses for half-an-hour, then find they've been on your head all the time. You wake up, looking like your driver's license picture. Happy hour is a nap. You begin every other sentence with, "Nowadays..." You constantly talk about the price of gasoline. You don't remember when your wild oats turned to shredded wheat. You sing along with the elevator music. You are proud of your lawn mower. You wonder how you could be over the hill when you don't remember being on top of it. Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot. The little gray-haired lady you help across the street is your wife. Your idea of weight lifting is standing up. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either. Your ears are hairier than your head. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it. It takes longer to rest than it did to get tired. You talk about "good grass" and you're referring to someone's lawn. The end of your tie doesn't come anywhere near the top of your pants. You give up all your bad habits and you still don't feel good. Your childhood toys are now in a museum. You can't remember the last time you laid on the floor to watch television. You confuse having a clear conscience with having a bad memory. You frequently find yourself telling people what a loaf of bread USED to cost. You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions. You enjoy hearing about other people's operations. You got cable for the weather channel. Old Folks MTV! Your new easy chair has more options than your car. Your little black book only contains names ending in M.D. Everything hurts and what doesn't hurt, doesn't work. You find yourself beginning to like accordion music. You have too much room in the house and not enough in the medicine cabinet. You get into a heated argument about pension plans. "Getting a little action" means you don't need to take a laxative. Conversations with people your own age often turn into "dueling ailments." You buy a compass for the dash of your car. You take a metal detector to the beach. The car that you bought brand new becomes an antique. You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police. You realize that caution is the only thing you care to exercise. You don't remember being absentminded. You have more patience; but actually, it's just that you don't care any more. Your memory is shorter and your complaining is longer. Your drugs of preference are now vitamins. You tip more and carry less. You read more and remember less. You get propositioned by AARP. Younger women start opening doors for you. You begin to become invisible in the dating and mating game. The highway patrol sigh or shake their heads but don't give you a ticket. You scout for a warmer place to spend the long, cold winters. You are no longer 'promising'. Younger men ask you for advice. You work on your short game. Youthful injuries return with a vengeance. Youthful indiscretions harden into bad habits. You shop for health insurance the way you once shopped for a new car. Your medical expenses go up 50%. A 'late night' now ends at 11 pm. You learn where your prostrate is. You develop a knack for wearing hats.
