vintage

You are not old, you are vintage, and that makes you priceless.

Came across this phrase while reading through one of my favorite FB pages today. And it sounds so true, that I want to shoutout to my parent and siblings, too!

Don't one wonders, what are we doing here on earth? And the fact that I've been lecturing my kid that we're on earth to learn, else we're better off lying dead, makes me wondered if I'm still learning. Fancy of me telling this to a kid, but luckily, at least I'm pretty sure I'm still at the learning phase of parenthood. But apart from that, hard to say.

Maybe age does matter. When you are old enough to be lecturing someone younger, you don't really care so much on how you blabber, so long you manage to pass down the information that you want to. You are just hoping that the younger generation will be a better version than yourself. But as you get older, patience wears thinner, too. So, lecturing method changes over time, too.

Apart from aging pricelessly, may we all aged with grace, too!

3am stories

I've been reading posts on FB - about the 3am stories. It's really interesting on how the writer trying to remind us on the important things we might deem insignificant or missed out noticing, and they are mostly on family relationships. Not only are the stories interesting, but the way the writer wrote, is captivating, too.

I've been wondering, how long has it been, since we all last wrote or read long stories - since our schooling years, maybe. 

With our ever growing technology and fast paced lifestyle, I think most have now grew accustomed to poster style graphics, animations, short videos, podcasts - things that need to have movements and/or sounds to capture our attention. 

How many of us still able to sit still looking at black wordings with white background? You?

Are you prepared?

Are you prepared?

Prepared for your next meal, prepared for your next day plan, prepared for your next month event, prepared for your 5 years roadmap, prepared for the day you'll be gone, etc. Anything that need to be prepared, anything at all - are you ready?

Or you feel that you are the type that always on the go. Ready or not, here I come. 

Or the other way round, just follow the flow, since prepared or not, the ending is always the same.

It is irony when we are prepared for the daily routine, yet unprepared when unexpected event that happened. Is it unexpected, or is it we simply have not thought about it. 

Or, we thought we are fully prepared, but things happened totally out of our preparation. Are we really prepared, or just thought we are prepared.

Anyway, it's always better to be prepared, but same time brace for the unexpected.
