2,555+ days of Summer

Remember that saying "What happens in Boracay, stays in Boracay"?

Well... I'll keep everything else on that lovely little island except for this Blast from the Past of a picture ---- a funny and self-deprecating ode to my youth. =P

Oh the woes of youth, manual cameras, and Genevieve Gozum two-pieces!!!! Hahahaha! (A time when the breasts were still firm and gravity-defying... and Moony was the soundtrack of summer. *sigh*)

EVERY SEVEN YEARS YOU CHANGE

Taken from: DREAMHAWK

21-28 years

The cycle that follows from twenty-one to twenty-eight, can more or less be called a process of enlargement and refinement. It is the period that we mentally and emotionally enter into adulthood. We start to build the foundations of our careers and intimate relationships with a driving energy that we hope will gain us entry and respect in the larger world.

One of the most marked features is the developing sense of discrimination. The faculties of insight, intuition, judgment and understanding begin to come to the fore. The personality softens and begins to mellow. The sparks of interest that were awakened in the previous cycles begin to be developed along more definite lines. The abilities of the last cycle also flourish. The adult emotional age may begin to emerges if one has successfully grown through the previous levels. This shows as a growing sense of recognizing needs of ones partner yet not denying ones own. It is followed by an ability to be something for the partners sake without losing one's own independence or will. One becomes more aware of the issues that color or influence relationship, and meeting them in cooperation with others. Independence and connection can appear together instead of opposite ends of a spectrum. You move toward becoming caring sexual partners through discovering each others needs and vulnerability.

In this period you will begin to confront the issue that you were either born with, or arose through the challenges and pains of your infancy and childhood. These usually show as the way you handle intimate relationships, whether you can really meet in partnership with the opposite sex, and how you respond to the external world, its challenges and opportunities.

At this time what is revealed may not be addressed as a personal problem or issues to be healed or re-evaluated. They will be faced more directly later if they are not dealt with now.

Now all I wanna know is how I'm gonna look after 7 MORE years. =P
