I turned 40 today. There is a long list of firsts on my first day of being forty. Today, i made my first blog and went through a heart-skipping experience with it. Seems like it’s my first day to see a whole new world of discoveries and rediscoveries. I share this piece to the humans i dearly love and adore (save a space for my envious critics).
My photo album starts with the First Royal Family, the purebloods, so dense with Mom and Dad’s DNAs…the true ones rich in talent, attitude, and emotions. I can’t help but recall and experience once again the light and playful memories of my childhood (circa 70) with my one and only buddy,my bro. We were like 2 peas in a pod… me sharing his white tees and khaki shorts and his all-boy games. i was dark (quaknet was my petname),tiny and sported a beatle haircut. Much worse,my fragile hair easily stuck to my greasy scalp. Oh, i was the forever-ugly duckling with no hopes of blossoming into the beautiful swan. Moklo (my bro’s petname) and I did a zillion things, mostly my firsts. I cut my finger while making a kite made of bbq sticks, fished out rubberbands from a mountain of mud, shoot basketballs til my tiny arms ached with too much extensions,raged wars with our snoopy neighbors and made our own royal wars truly heroic.
But, i do remember my rare girly moments when hippie bro disbanded from me. I shall return tomorrow for this hilarious adventure….
wow, inday congrats for turning 40 with style!
