1st Saturday huh?



It started GREAT, it ended BORING!

For few weeks, I finally felt relaxed, away from work. Then "as usual", my independence day was ruined because my mom wanted to beautify her hair. I had planned some "me" activities, but in the end, I had to call them off.

From this experience, actually I don't wanna be a complainer, but sometimes I just wanna have "lazy" time, when I don't need to do or think or feel anything. Just relax. When the day was off, I think I had one. Reading lots magazines in the salon.

Youngsters nowadays

I've tried to get rid of it but I couldn't help to think of it again so I think it'll be healthier if I write it down here.

I think I am sick of teenagers' lifestyle.

#1 is their body. They grow so much! Their age may be little but their body isn't, and their face too! As an illustration, I got this independence day celebration last week when all teachers needed to attend it and some students did too. Teachers had to line up beside senior high school students. They basically outgrown all teachers. And I couldn't help but caught this view of a teenager "boy" who basically looked like a thirty-year-old man. Don't get me wrong here, I don't judge people by their look, but it's way too ridiculous (too bad I didn't take his picture, you may get chest pain if you look at him).

#2 is their attitude. As an illustration again, I met this mother and teenager "girl", who supposedly looks like she's still in her senior high year, in a boutique. Anyhow, she looks like she's a working woman. She dressed up super neatly with a white three-quarter-long-sleeve shirt and white tight shorts and white heels, and, fortunately, a blue handbag. While she looks very mature for her age, her mother, on the other way, looks very young for her age.

What happens to this generation? They think too mature, they behave too mature, and they speak too mature! Call me childish, you may, but I personally feel discomfort. And let me tell you this theory of mine, when teenagers get rushed to be mature at their young age, they will act way too childish at their old age. For me, enjoy your age. You can't repeat to be 24 and fabulous.
