Have you once asked yourself "How old is old?" . I haven't pondered upon this question before until Tetcha of Pensive Thoughts and Yami of Mom Writes for a Cause gave me this tag, which is actually a contest sponsored by Cathara Main.
The question reminds me of my dear father. I knew that if I'll jokingly tell him that he's old now...he would simply remind me that he's not old, he's simply getting older...he..he..
Old means that you have given up. I know a lot of young people who are "old". They veg out on couches watching TV all the time or playing computer games instead of reading a good book. They look exhausted and drawn only from entertaining themselves nearly to death. Too bad...tsk..tsk...
Getting older on the other hand, means discovering more of life. It means refusing to retire in the mind. George Burns, when turning 92 said: "Don't retire, because you don't enjoy anything when you're retired. Fall in love with what you're going to do for living."
How old is old then? It is ageless- it can't be measured by age but by the condition of how you view your life. You're OLD if you give up in this life , retire in the mind and stopped discovering more of life.
I refused to be old, yet I accept that I become more creative in getting older.
OLD is always young until the NEW arrives. Old never becomes old because it is only born when the new one comes. OLD also is the present name of the past therefore it's always born everyday.

As a newbie in blogosphere, I tried my best to make my blogsite presentable to attract visitors-bloggers and readers alike. I believe on the adage "First impression is lasting". Blog layout is one of the factors of increasing traffic in my blog site. I desired that my visitors will keep on coming back on my site. As I started bloghopping and visiting other blogs, I discovered how awesome were their templates-personalized header design, template that suits their theme and blog badges that shows their personal style. I felt intimidated knowing that my blog "look" is inferior. I am like Cinderella living in unfortunate circumstances in cyberspace until....suddenly my world will soon change to remarkable fortune when I visited Mariuca. She posted about a FREE BLOG MAKEOVER GIVEAWAY of Lady Java! I exclaimed "This is it! This is what I need- a blog make-over". I look into the details of this contest. Lady Java is hosting this give-away for this month in celebration of her 40th birthday. It's a blessed year where some says the age where life begins. I also read that according to the Bible, it is the number of waiting, the preparation and the test of life.
Anyway, the winner will be chosen based on his or her blog entry . It's a great honor to have the birthday celebrant herself do the Free Blog Makeover! I am hoping and praying that like the character "Cinderella", whose attributes are unrecognised and unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after period of obscurity when the "fairy Godmother"Lady Java raises up her "magic wand" and do wonders on my blog-a new header design that suits my personality and blogs theme, cosmetic changes to current layout like rounded corners, new colors and anything else that needs a style from her,sprucing up footer elements and much, much more that will make my blog AWESOME!
If you want to join this Blog Makeover Giveaway, Lady Java makes the rule sweat-free:
1. Tell her, her birthdate 2. Answer this: How many years have I been married? 3. Put that information in a blog entry and also tell her why do you want and deserve this blog makeover. 4. Link to her entry in your blog entry and leave her the url of your post.
This contest will close on 25th March. What's the significance of this date? It's her 9th year Wedding Anniversary! I want to extend to you in advance, Lady Java , my warmest congratulations on your wedding anniversary. May you enjoy married life with God's favor and abundance. The winner would be notified on April 1. This contest is only open for bloggers hosted by Blogger dot com.
I'm hoping and praying that I'll be the blessed winner!
