too old for my age

i was given the shocking diagnosis today that my metabolic age ( i didn't even know i had a metabolic age) was more than 10 years older than my actual age. i just celebrated a 30 ish bday, and was actually quite enjoying my age, revelling in my beauty, charm, intelligence, accompalishments. and then like a hot potato, i was given this terrible news. sigh, a much needed wake up call indeed. so there, now i need to get my metabolic age down, my face to look younger, n my kids to act older. but i can do it, i'll do the walks n diet n the whole routine, n hope my metabolic age gets younger than i am.

opportunities abound

when we are given too many options, and there are just so many opportunities waiting to be grabbed, could it be not such a great thing after all? when we ar enot given any choices or opportunities, or when doors are slammed again and again on our faces, could it be not such a bad thing after all. either way, it is not the end of the world. sure, some good things are tough, and it takes a lot of courage to go through with it, but if we stick to it, it will be worth it in the end.

a little something everyday

funny how it took me years to get back yesterday, n now here i am, back again just the next day. its true that like attracts like, and once you start, u will get more. i just got back to writing and also working harder on my thesis, n its going like a charm. i just cant wait to finish my thesis, i am excitedly waiting for the day when i pass up my completed thesis, n then i will have nothing to do. well, there will be lots of other stuff, but no more thesis, no more big project thati HAVE to do, that NEEDS to be done. don't get me wrong, i love my thesis, its a good projects, n i am churning out a pretty good piece of work, like i always do. but the joy n fun n happiness n perpetual bliss i will feel when its all done, wow, that would be the magical day. that day, that feeling of joy, n nothing to do, that spurs me on todo more, to finish it. just the mere thought of it is already making me smile. i will read this again on that day, n i will smile some more.

big boy

so finally, after 3 long hard years i now have time again, since my son was born, to continue writing. i have been so busy looking after him and my family and my everything else, that i haven't had time to write about it. no, not really, i've been lazy i guess, i chose to do other things instead. and the list of excuses can get pretty long. the truth is, i love writing, and have been told that i'm pretty good at it. and i've always wanted to write. who doesn't harbour a secret wish to be a best-selling author. i do. so this is practice. just me, my words, my thoughts. uncensored. not at a conscious level that is. someday when i'm a big shot author, having readings and book signings at MPH midvalley, i will look back at this, and smile. or, more likely, a nosy journalist would have dug it up and done an expose on the early, unpublished works of bestselling author. see, i knew it that writing makes me happy. so this is one accompalishment for today. thank you Lord.
