life begins at 40

[dr. d]

You know you're getting old when...

...you finally admit that you're getting old.

[shadow]

When you slipped in front of a crowd and they all panic and actually worried about you instead of laughing.

when i slipped and fell recently,
before i attempted to get up, i first went over my torso, neck, and all my extremities, to the fingers and the toes, to see if anything was broken.
when i was young, i would simply get up and carry on.

Mukhang common na talaga to have first child ng late 30s and early 40s. Just this year, former officemate ko and a schoolmate that are both early 40s nanganak. Talagang life begins at 40 for them.

But with all that's happening, what's in store for children. I have girl friends na ayaw ng mag anak

Because of economic instability. Noone wants to bring children into the world unless they're stable, and most people only become stable in their 30s.

Gone are the times that you enter a company in your 20s, work there for 30 years with fair wages, build a family in that same time frame.

Wages for rank and file workers have only grown 12% over the past 40 years. CEO wages have grown 940%, executive wages have grown 340%.

That is what happens when you treat wages of workers as a cost to be optimized, while you tie CEO compensation with company profitability. It becomes a carrot for CEOs to keep employee wages low so that the company turns a profit and they in turn get big bonuses.

In developing countries and SMEs you can change CEO to business owner (who directly profits from the company) and the above scenario remains.

Big businesses have also been able to lobby to government to allow the above to remain as status quo.

CEO compensation has grown 94% since 1978: Typical worker compensation has risen only 12% during that time | Economic Policy Institute

My wild friend and I were talking about my college love and she mentioned that he doesn't have that glow of success, which was true so that turned me off and made me feel a bit better kahit na his GF looks like me!!! I immediately thought of crush (glow of success) and sent her his picture.

And this was the reaction I got. Meron kasi talagang alpha stance and when you look at a guy nagra radiate talaga! Kaya women are magnetized by men like crush.

I think I met crush at his peak (looks, career, maturity etc) Though there is a large possibility pataas pa ang career kasi he is only 40s e

My Paulinian friend asked for a photo of my Dad and I found her reaction so amusing. I was always proud of my Dad because he takes care of his looks (Mom ko din naman but that is a given with women)

Men are lucky na their looks do not deteriorate with age, in fact, some peak in their 40s. Back in HS, some of my friends had a "crush" on my Dad hahaha! So apparently 2 decades later and my Dad hasn't lost his appeal

ang con pala ng 40s, hindi na pwede sa puyatan. I just realized, I don't know a guy in his 40s and up that could stay up until after midnight EVERYDAY or as a lifestyle

Ah well I stay up till past midnight almost everyday, but not due to drinking though hehe. More of watching videos/series hehe.

In mu 20s I could get dunk almost every night till the wee hours of the morning & still go to work the next day, ngayon hinid na kaya ang ganun hehe.

really? I don't know any guy that can do that consistently, usually after a few weeks bumibigay na LOL

Weird nga kasi turn on sakin yung 5 am gising na pero turn off din sakin yung hindi kaya ang puyatan

Ahh not really naman every week ganun. There were times na halos everyday for a week. Then maybe next month or next w months may ganun ulit hehe.

when i was younger, i couldn't fall asleep before midnight.
when i reached 60, i would doze off by 10.pm.

Maybe the reason for my health problems. I'm on my 40s and I've been on night shift (EST timezone) for a decade now.

The tricky part for me is weekends. I still spend time with family during daytime on weekends. That means going out on Saturday daytime with family right after the Friday night shift. Sometimes I'll realize during the weekend that I've been up for 24 hours already.

Posting this makes me realize I've been really abusing my health. [emoji1751]

Quality of life matters including sleep.

puyatan activities? is that work related/profitable?

my engr friend told me nga why lately he falls asleep so early (before 12) Not sure if his body is making bawi because he was staying up late for weeks. I used to get pissed when he would doze off early but now I just let him sleep, 40 na kasi, I don't want his health to be affected.

Most likely. Para sakin kasi ang graveyard para sa 20s age lang. I am applying for work now, kapag hindi regular/morning hours ayoko, latest na siguro that I would accept would be 2 pm. Yung Paulinian friend ko, took almost a year of applying din kasi requirement niya regular/morning hours pero in the end she accepted a mid shift job na since WFH naman.

[_Qwerty_]

hanap ka nang AU time.. sarap pasok ka nang 5am uwi na nang 2pm.. ang dami mo pang pwedeng gawin sa hapon hanggang gabi..
