Look what we have become. Our lives constantly revolving around the internet. I wonder, are the kids these days dying to go out in the evening just to play with other friends? When I was young, I was only allowed to leave at 5:30pm and back by 7pm. But, the trouble with me, I love playing football so much that I usually sneak out at 4pm or so and then head home around 7:30pm, only to see mom waiting at home with a rotan. SIGH. I miss those days (but not the rotan!).

It’s extremely cheap to bonk in Shanghai. The most sexpensive condoms in the world are in Ireland. No wonder the Irish drink their lives away, it’s cheaper.

Guilt is a feeling of remorse that arises when you have done something wrong or think you have.

The best way to handle guilt is to talk it out, to a close friend or your loved one, sometimes, confiding in someone will make you realize that it’s not as traumatizing as you thought it would be, and then the guilt starts to vanish.

Accept the fact that you’re not perfect, that you’ve done things that aren’t nice. But that doesn’t mean you should penalize yourself forever and ever amen.

If you’ve done something that you truly regret, say you’re sorry and try to redress the situation. Very often the things you are feeling guilty about didn’t have any affect  on the other person and you’re suffering for no reason.

Remind yourself that what you did is just part of being human. That the behavior isn’t unique to you doesn’t make it OK, but it’s reason enough to stop beating yourself up about it. Try keeping a diary of all the good things that you’ve done. So whenever you’re feeling overpowered by guilt, stop and list things you’ve done that are commendable, whether they are small or large.

Do you know that your actions and hidden patterns affects your efforts of finding love or simply putting yourself out there in the love hunting market?

If you never really experienced love growing up in terms of feeling wanted, you will have a tough time expressing what you truly feel and will not know how to accept love when it’s given to you. It stems from your life with your parents.

Worst, if you were deserted in through the divorce or separation of you parents to spend alone time, you will always feel worried and fearful that you will be dumped or ignored too. Hence it clouds your judgment in opening up too soon to the wrong people without carefully thinking. You will end up clinging on people who are emotionally unavailable.

If your parents were emotionally unavailable for you, then you will feel dissociated with trust and intimacy issues. You are afraid to drop down your guard and let love in.

If your parents love to spoil you, then you become self-absorbed in yourself when you grow up, because you’re used to having things done for you and hence became inconsiderate or even demanding. You want it and you want it NOW. No one signed up with you just to baby-sit a spoiled child.

If your parents pushed you too hard and never allowed to make decisions when you were growing up, you become too serious and unresponsive as an adult. You don’t know how to lighten up and be flexible. Hence, you elude “stressed out” symptoms and other humans will leave you for someone who is more fun to be with.

In a nutshell, how your parents raised you will influence your attitude. Seek ways to remedy the situation, ask yourself why and what can you do to become a love magnet?

Aging is a bummer. I’m carrying a number of injuries - left shoulder, right arm, right knee, left bum muscle and right ankle. Most of the injuries I got was from playing futsal. Yes, I’m injury prone, no thanks to my dodgy futsal shoes, which is half a size bigger than my usual size. It’s been giving me loads of problem. Healing has taken longer than it should thanks to aging.

Anyway, if you want to live a healthy life, don’t stop yourself from enjoying and playing sports or traveling. Whatever it is, remain active, don’t be afraid to sweat - brisk walks, or even sauna if you feel that you’re already over the hill. Water becomes as important as ever, but of course, not during exercise. A woman collapsed and died during a marathon as a result of too much water.

Doing house chores helps too, like gardening or home improvements. It helps calm the soul, as well as indirectly burning fat. If you hate the gym, then this is ideal.

Though I hate coffee (I used to love it when I was in my teens), small amounts helps a little, as apparently, research indicates that caffeine burns more fat. BUT, it has to be taken in moderation.

Going for regular massages helps to loosen up the tendons and maintain flexibility. Learning to accept and adapt to the process of aging will determine how you live your life when you’re an old fart.
