The Nomenclature of Age

One day Papsie's aunt passed by the house and she is already 81 years old. She still travels on foot and still looks active. Papsie and I really admired her for the vibrant demeanor. We were like wishing that we still have the stance if we'll be blessed with a few more decades of life.



Mother-in-law reiterated her argument on what talisman Tia Ata and others like her have. There is none, of course. Even the best fat burner will not give back anyone even a little of the strength and vitality he/she once had in his/her youth. But Tia Ata was able to take care of herself. She was able to maintain a medium built body by not eating food with a lot of salt and with so much fat. Perhaps she's not a stubborn senior citizen. Perhaps she's active and did not stop mobilizing her limbs. Maybe she's not counterproductive and still wants to help in her little ways. Maybe she chooses not to deteriorate fast.
