officially, i am admitting that i am indeed old.
seven months from now, i will be out of undergrad school.
a year from now, i will be either an employee or a grad school student.
darn. lately, i have been downloading and burning cds of FRANK SINATRA. not avril, not usher, not any other pop bands, but FRANK SINATRA. now, i have reached the point in time where i get to appreciate such music, and long for barbara streisand, when perhaps just five years ago, i would dread people listening to and singing these songs in karaoke bars. last friday night, for review night, bianca gonzales reviewed avril's album. she said it's definitely an album that teenagers can relate with. well, i no longer can, can i?
just this afternoon, i was sharing with my bowling teammate who my crush is in the team-- a new recruit. my teammate and i agreed that he's cute, seems nice, but... HE"S JUST A FRESHIE... and i am a SENIOR... darn... i know myself as getting easily attracted to older men, and definitely not go for younger men (as much as possible not the same month even).
there are so many new shows and new faces on television and i no longer can get their names and faces right. i am so overwhelmed with all these because i am so not used to not knowing everything's that new in television. why? although it's obvious that i have been missing a lot lately because of school work, i also am fixated with the culture of generation that i belonged to. things nowadays come and go so quickly. you have to update yourself minute by minute, otherwise, you'll be left behind.
older and wiser... i don't think this applies to me though. why? lately, i have realized that i no longer have the photographic memory that i had when i was younger. before, i can memorize phone and plate numbers, nowadays, i cannot live without my mobile phone's contact list. also, i seem to lose my common sense. i find it hard to debate with friends because i seem to have lost the ability to organize my thoughts and i have been trying so hard to think deep but all along the answers seem to be just so obvious. i miss out on a lot of terms, because i always feel that they are at the tip of my tongue. and when i forget a term, i usually am not able to sleep until i get to think of it. i hope it's just the stress.
