Life Began at 40 (At least for me)

After a two year hiatus, I'm back! Hopefully. =)

A lot has actually happened between my last post and this one. Admittedly, there have been times that  I should delete this account. No one is reading it any way. But I guess my writer instincts just got buried underneath the rubble of too much work and study. Now that it found its way to rise from the grave like a zombie hungry to eat someone else's brain, here goes my accomplishment report for 2015.

The first time I have heard "life begins at 40" was during the younger years of my life. It was probably in a movie. Naturally I did not understand what it meant. I finished the movie anyway (which I can't remember). Years and years after, I'm now 40 years old. What do I conclude then? Let me show you.

I started joining fun runs which I used to criticize. I couldn't actually understand where is the fun in the run. But a colleague of mine encouraged me to run since I was jogging with my sons every afternoon. Lo and behold, I've been joining fun funs ever since. Where's the fun in the run? It is finishing the crossing line!
