I Went Out!
Mom walked in to my room this afternoon and asked me if I would like to go somewhere tonight to drink coffee. I looked at her to check if she was bluffing or if it was for real. I couldn't figure it out so I asked her and she told me that she is serious. Like a little kid being asked if she wanted to go to Disneyland, I nodded and smiled and screamed out yes!
We went to Marina Crescent since the weather is gorgeous outside. We sat outside at Lina's Cafe. I wasn't in the mood to bump into people I know and smile fakingly to them and luckily, I didn't bump into anyone.
While sitting there I looked around at the teenagers. It pisses me off to see young kids, whose lungs haven't fully developed yet, smoking! Eh walla, 13 and 14 year old kids smoking!! It pisses me off to see those same kids wearing make up and stilleto heels and so forth. Most of the teenagers I saw were from foreign schools, it was obvious by simply looking at them. Multnational group of kids sitting together, talking in English, and dressed like pop stars or rock stars... each according to their taste of music. I used to be like that... except I didn't smoke or wear make up or high heels or talk about hookers.
Looking at those kids, I realized that I did enjoy my teenage years, I also did enjoy my university years, but I don't wish I was that young again, since I am enjoying my mid-twenties as well.
I'm not old, I'm not young, I'm 25 and I am enjoying it.

ah 25, quarter pounder.
You can definitly tell how things have changed with time and you always tend to look at the kids and compare your childhood to theirs! There are times where I think the "New Kids" are lucky but then I think of my days as a child and consider my childhood way better than what they are experiencing today!
Ma boga shay and I will be done with the whole quarter of a century point in my life!
