One More Day and I'm Thirty-Four

As I will be turning thirty-four tomorrow I can actually observe my pictures and see that I am indeed getting old. The gray hair on the sides of my head are starting to become so obvious and wrinkles around my eyes are becoming more prominent that maybe even the best eye cream for wrinkles would not be effective on them.

But even as another year adds on to my life I am reminded by a passage that says,

“Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. “ (Psalm 90:12)

Externally, as one gets older, a lot of things may be moving towards failing as the natural tendency of the corrupted body manifests, internally, wisdom is gained through many learning experiences. And I celebrate God’s faithfulness through all the years of my life especially this past seven years with my family because life has become more exciting with them. Thank You, Lord!

But it was after seeing Harley motorbikers arrive at the vicinity and we followed them to Handle Bar, where the main part of the event was held. We were greeted with loud band music playing and treated to a buffet lunch.

While some bloggers chit chatted with other bloggers, others enjoyed the bar's drinks and other amenities. We played billiards before the launch and while others ate lunch. Other bloggers sent their messages to Globe so they could see them on a big LCD screen where the Globe Tattoo Youniverse message senders text messages were viewed. Then after a few minutes, Pao Peña from Globe started to introduce the new image of their company online - Globe Tattoo Youniverse, a widget-based, interactive site for the new breed of Globe users. He also introduced the IMMORTALTXT, the first and only text offer with no expiry. Globe says that for just ten pesos (P10), subscribers can enjoy 50 texts to Globe/TM and 10 texts to other networks that will never expire. (To register, simply text IMMORTAL10 to 8888).
