h-hour plus 12

i'm officially and technically twenty-six for 12 hours now. i guess time has its way of saying that you're old. and another 12 more hours and you're counting the next year.

another line on your forehead. mine has 26 lines pasted all over. not to mention the thousand plus gray hair i desperately try to conceal with a palmful of gel. four more years years and i'll step into another chronological dimension---which i think will clearly magnify the definition of "old". hehe.

i don't know. seem like birthdays are exceedingly overrated---a special occasion that shouldn't be. but merely a normal day wherein you're constantly reminded that you're on the ladder towards nonexistence (which is frighteningly real, i believe). i also think that this is the day when we reminisce the days and the year that passed, ruminate on what we've done for our own good, for the society and the for the ones close to us. admittedly, i haven't really been able to do all of those. to quote bono, "i'm stuck in the moment, and i can't get out of it". goes on to show that getting old is the cynical stage of life.

i'll cut the crap anyway. it's my birthday. i have to be happy, or at least, i should be.
