Kalabaw lang ang tumatanda.

Have you heard this before? I often heard this from my husband. Every time I told him that he's getting old, he would always reply, "kalabaw lang ang tumatanda ne." Honestly, I still don't get the connection between getting old and carabao.

Moving on with our topic, what's the hardest part about getting older? Okay let's start with, I am 41 years old. Not getting younger anymore but hey, they say that life begins at 40! I don't know if it's true though, maybe for some but not for me.

I was never bothered getting older before because it is part of our life cycle. We are born, get old and die, and that's inevitable. I had enjoyed my life as being youth, learned my lesson, and found my guy. But at this point in my life, I never realized that these things would bother me.

Getting Sick

Oh dear, I know many of you can relate to this. So hard to get out of bed because of the aching joints and muscles. Taking stairs becomes a very challenging thing to do also. Rheumatism and arthritis will knock us out if we'll not be very careful of what we eat. Also, our organs are getting weaker. I remember when my mother-in-law was hospitalized because of lung cancer, when she had an abdominal ultrasound, the result showed that her organs are getting weaker. But the doctor explained to me that it is normal. Our organs are getting weaker as we get older that is why we should be mindful with regards to our health and eat healthy foods and do exercise.

As you all know, I am under medication now because of the disease that I acquired from maybe being so abusive of my body when I was in my younger years. So to all of you who are still young and at the prime of your life, don't forget to take care of your body too. Enjoy life while living a healthier lifestyle.

My daughter getting older

My daughter is turning 19 this coming January 2022. And I just can't believe how fast she's growing. I mean literally, she's taller than me now. I wish I could visit her younger years or turn back time when she's still my tiny baby. I miss her laugh every time I tickled her feet. She giggles when I make faces. When she can't sleep when I am not on her side. When she would always want me to carry her. Oh dear, I am getting emotional here, hehe.

I missed those days. Now that she's a young lady, she doesn't want me to sleep beside her because she wanted privacy, haha! And of course, I do understand that. So while your kids are still young, spend more time with them because kids grow fast and you wouldn't want to miss their changes every step of the way.

The death of a loved ones

I lost my parents years ago and also lost my father last 2018 due to a heart attack. I miss them. I have been an adult for quite some time now. I have been living my life far from them. There were times that I did not bother to give them a call or visit them. But seeing those people you love, who were an adult when you are a child, who keep you safe and happy, are gone, the hard reality of adulthood slaps you in the face. They have been your shelter when you are growing. Even though you haven't needed them for years, once they are taken away, you will feel alone.

Before ending this article, I just want to thank @bmjc98 for choosing me to be one of her receiver on her "Give Love-Give BCH on Christmas Day Challenge. "

I was surprised to see my article was up voted by her for $5 and I knew then that I was her recipient. I feel so happy and honored.

I am going to withdraw this tomorrow. And I will use this wisely. Thank you so much sis and Merry Christmas!

An also to @Jane1289 for choosing me as your first receiver on her $1 bch gift.

Than you so much ladies!


So that's it guys, thanks for dropping by. Tomorrow, I will make an article about where I spend my $5 because that is one of the mechanics. So expect another article from me.

Gracias, Salamat, Thank you for reading!

Buti nalang sis maaga tayo lumandi noh..I mean atleast biruin mo 41 ka tapos 19 ang anak mo, maya maya graduate na sya ng colllege... ako 35, tapos mag 12 na din ang panganay ko sa January 2022 din... unlike yung iba kong officemate, 40 na tapos ang anak eh nasa 1 to 2 yrs old palang...

By the way, pagdating sa sakit sakit, agree ako sayo na habang nadadagdagan ang edad eh dumadami din talaga ang mga nararamdaman sa katawan...kaya dapat maging maingat talaga habang bata pa kasi hindi right away ang aftermath nya...

I agree with you, sounds sad when we're getting older. We lose our memories and even loved ones. But still be hopeful that when we're getting old, we can still taste the true meaning of life ๐Ÿฅฐ

I think if we just try to live a much more healthier life and take care of our body while we're still young, we can lessen the burden of having an old age.

I can totally understand your friend. To witness how having an old age can deteriorate our body slowly is so terrifying. Maybe that's the reason why some people do their best to stay young.

Thank you sis I know she will.

The time spent with our loved ones matters a lot because we all won't be here forever and the memories we live behind will be the things they will hold on to.

Sorry about your health, regardless of your age I know you will get better. Congratulations on the give you got from MJ and Sis Jane.
