Another Year Older

A birthday is just another day,
young of mind, yet youthful looks go away.
Another year older,
the world seems a bit colder.
Yet my heart still burns,
and for love it forever yearns.
Another year older,
I grow even bolder.
Life is for us to learn from,
as calculated as a mathematical sum.
Another year older,
hurting blazes now just smolder.
Letting go of past rage and pain,
living life and feeling sane.
Another year older,
a tear on your shoulder.
Life has not been so bad,
my tear is of joy not because I’m sad.
Another day older,
more pages added to my folder.
I’m glad of whom I am today,
I would not have myself any other way.
So don’t mind that I write my own birthday rhyme,
I’ve lived through my life up till this time.
I think it is safe to say,
that things will go as planned His way.
He’s got more for me yet,
It’ll be even better I bet.
Another year older,
and I am in His debt.

the truth is as such

The one whom I see when I look into the mirror

Is the most horrible person I have ever met.

Why is consistency so hard to achieve?

pet peeve number i-don't-know

I hate this word. Yes, I call it a word, and not a letter. That's because I get such replies from people on SMS or when you're chatting with them online. You ask them or tell them something, they give this cold answer. For example:

Me: Hey, remember to blalablablablablablabla

Person: k

Short and so NOT sweet.

Blunt. Curt. Rude. Perfunctory. Heartless.

C'mon, not like it drains half of your finger energy to add in "O" in front of your "K". Seriously, it gives me the false impression that you either hate me, or you just don't want to talk to me.

Well, I have to admit, I do give such replies, but ONLY when I am angry with the person I'm talking to.

I remember quite awhile ago, I read an article on Life regarding this issue. The writer herself shares this pet peeve with me, and she states how insincere these replies can be.

When talking to such people, I find myself having to make the effort to twist my sentences in a way which would avoid such brusque response. Not only are they total mood spoilers, they make me not want to talk further.

not alone
