on growing old..

i watched the movie BENJAMIN BUTTON yesterday morning after i had my nails done. my ghas, dude! brad pitt is sooo alluring! as in!
i can't even exactly describe in words how attractive he was.
hoooh! :D later i'll post some of his pictures.. ;o)

true, aging & death is unstoppable in this system of things.
and now that i'm nearing 30, i can't help but relate to some of the human angst about old age.

like Daisy (Cate Blanchett), i don't want to grow old. but that is inevitable in this time.
it's really getting into a woman's nerve, doesn't it?
i never thought i will feel this way about aging.
when i was about 16, 18? i don't care on how i age. i'm young and vibrant.
and i was a bit proud i'm getting more mature as time passes me by.
but then again, when i reached 27, aging is coming my way.
it's getting to my brain and it poses some fears in me.
like having poor health, getting wrinkles, slow metabolism, getting ugly, etc.
that's when i started to assess on what i had done with my life.
what i had accomplished thru out those 27 years of existence.
thinking about it? i like how i am today. :)
i am glad i became this person. i became Grace.
i am proud i have this kind of perception about life and about people around me.
i am happy i have this known values from the Scriptures which truly molded me to be a person i'd like to be.
i am proud i could get myself back together in a whole new person, in a much stronger built and a more mature invididual.
i like being me, i like being Grace. :)

not everybody would want somebody like me, not everyone would understand how i handle things.
well, i don't blame them. we cannot please everyone anyway.
important thing is you know who you are and what you want in life.
keep those person who could bring the best in you.
those who could be truly honest and sincere in dealing with you.
avoid those who will always try to pull you down in their own dark world.
some will envy you of your own happiness, but then what you could do is share them your own light.
bring light to their own cloudy world.
but then again, if they won't accept your light and even try to bedarken your own, then take your leave.
we couldn't help someone who couldn't help themselves. :)
there are actually a lot of things i learned about life.
lots and lots of things about life and people.

i could go on sharing every bit of it but it will take me forever. hehe..
so there. those are my thoughts after i have watched the movie.
aside from, of course, Brad's bionic super mega captivating appearance.
hahaha! :p

well, you know that's actually one of what i look forward to in paradise earth.
being youfhful and superbly beautiful forever. :)

as promised, here are Brad's shots from the movie.
so you would understand why i was being muted by his beauty. hehehehe..
