CROSSING THE THRESHOLD.

Last night, I attended Sluttila's belated birthday party. It was a great gathering of his friends and some of them, well, not many, I also know. We had the finger food, the main dishes and lots of chattering and laughing. Parties like this are very intimate as the numbers are not too many and it allows interaction at all levels.

Sluttila and me have been friends for almost 10 years now, come December 24th this year, will mark our 10th Anniversary as friends. He was from the generation that used MIRC too and you can imagine how long I have kept this contact until now.

We had shared sweet and sour memories together, but all in all, we got to watch each other transformed and grow. I guess that is what's important in a relationship, although, we didn't become boy friend material, but our understanding and respect for each other, surpasses even the most normal boy-friend relationships you have out there.

So, Sluttila is officially crossing into the 30's territory. What does it feel to be 30 anyway? To me, I have already passed into that territory many years ago, and frankly speaking it was nothing special although a lot of people have given you doomsday reports on it. Again, age is just a number its nothing to do with our mental ability to do or not to do, but one thing that keeps nagging in our heads is the fact, we are getting older.

Ah yes, maybe we do get older but its all in the mind! It's always our mind who will rule out the possibilities for us but this time, we need to psyche our mind to think otherwise. Its always what we feel inside, so, if we say we are old, then we are really old-lah, but if we condition our minds to think that we are old from the outside but young in the inside, then things will fall into prespective.

so what if i'm 30...bring it on

Therefore, crossing into the 30's means what?
1. Our hair gets more grey hair (need to highlight our hair?)
2. More wrinkles show up? (SK-2 can do the job of minimising it?)
3. Our bodies feel fatigue more easily (not necessary, if you have enough rest, you will feel rejuvenated)
4. Penis lenght shortens (err, is that a fact or fallacy?; never mind, there's was that pump)

I'm not even sure if those things are really factual for all people but point 4 seems a bit far fetched. However, life is such that we do encounter all of this changes in our body and whether we accept it gracefully or deny it, depends entirely on one self.

To me, I have accepted it with an open mind and arms, no point in denying my age bracket here but as it is, its only a number. Inside of me, still lies a teen boy who is mischievious and up to all kind of tricks. Hence, I always place importance on exercise as it really takes that tired haggard look away, and instead it presents us with a fresh and vibrant look all the times.

So, anyone of you who is going to cross the threshold of 30's, don't worry-lah, its just a number, sooner or later, you get used to it and before you know it, big 40 comes in...now that will be scary!
