  • I thought life would be cheaper when you’re fifty and beyond

    my golden year without shoes!

    Does life gets better after you reach fifty and beyond? well, it depends, on how far you’ve been.ahhh, you can say that again!

    I was filling up the form for our yearly medical insurance, as usual,name, date of birth, gender etc. the bracket of payment was at the end of the form. I always thought that I am fifty ( sorry ladies, i stop counting at age fifty).

    35-40 yrs. old (SR 1,149) 41-50 yrs. old (SR 1,349) 51-59 (Sr 2,649) 60-69(Sr 15,000)

    Whoa! SR 2,649 for 51 yrs old and above! I thought when I reached fifty and beyond, I will have a discount but NO! your body will eventually be less resistant to sickness,not to mention the menopausal syndrome … thus need more medical attention and so your medical insurance increases in anticipation of this predicament.

    I thought , I don’t care if my face has wrinkles, anyway, I am fifty and beyond but NO! looking at the mirror everyday makes you wonder, do I need a Botox? a filler? or a face lift? who cares!

    I travel a lot and my suit case is full of clothes I need on every occasion, every weather, every conferences..so no need to buy stuff, but NO! It doesn’t fit anymore, I grew three sizes bigger..oh my! good thing my shoe size doesn’t change but NO! the style change, the fashion change..who cares!

    My little handy bag used to have my lipstick,foundation,eyebrow pencil,mascara and lotion.Guess what’s the additional item? concealer! yes! to hide those dark circles around my eyes, sides of my nose and my dark pimples (which sometimes, let me feel I am still young! at least in my dreams! ha ha ha ha). What else? medicines! I have to add more medicines in my bag (headache,cramps,allergy,eye drop etc)

    Eyeglasses! I have sunglasses, medical eye wear (i got two, one is spare just in case ..you know what I mean, beautybeyondfifty is getting old and forgetful)and not to mention, I have my loop too! Contact lens? no , I don’t wear one.

    Gadgets! whoa, I used to have desk top computers only, but I needed a lap top so i can do my work at  home and at the office, clang! there goes another net book, easy to handle but got to have an extra hard disk..no no no still too heavy, i got an iPad so i can just put it in my everyday bag still not contented? here we go..iphone4, it goes to my purse easily ,ahhh do you think ,I wont carry my camera and MacBook air when I travel the next week? Think again! 🙂

    My hair is turning grey…got to color it and made some high lights and low lights ahhhh additional expenses too! what else?

    Oh well, got to park my pen, I won’t do anything at all if I find living expensive after all when you die, I guess its more expensive to buy a coffin and a place to bury the dead.

    And so I therefore conclude, Life and living is still the best!

  • The F…things on beauty beyond fifty!

    51…your candle cost more than the cake!

    Blowing 30th candles on your day is like celebrating the end of the month. Years just passed too quick and here comes 40, pretty exciting ahhhh! Life starts at 40, isn’t it? What about the big 5’O, what is it all about? This is considered to be the milestone in one’s life, but it doesn’t mean you have to feel old.; age is more of a state of mind!

    Oh yeah! State of mind….joke!

    Let me try…Here are the F…..(FUNNY) things ha ha ha ha… I bet you’re thinking the other meaning of “F”!!!

    Here are some funny things that will certified you’re fifty and beyond:
    – you got two candles that represent the number of your age. You know you’re getting old when the candles are more expensive than the cake.

    – when some one greeted you with due respect and added “po” at the end of every sentence.. It’s either it shows on your face or this someone is very respectful of the seniors lol!

    – when ask about age; you just say the end ” ty one,..ty..two”

    – you’re still hot, it’s just that it comes in hot flashes

    – you see the line of wisdom…meaning there’s nothing left to learn the hard way

    – you can live without s*x but not without glasses

    – no matter how little you eat, you can’t fit in size 10..it just keep growing…your thigh and hips..who cares about metabolism?

    – you feel humps everywhere esp. in the middle and you curse the inventor of the low waist jeans

    – at the end you quit holding your stomach in, no matter who walks into the room

    – you can remember faces but not the names

    – you keep coming to the room and keep forgetting why you’re there in the first place.

    – you smile and nod but doesn’t get most of the stories, the good thing, your secret is safe because you’re friends can’t remember it either. Ha ha ha ha!

    And here’s some funny quotes:

    “Inside every older person is a younger person – wondering what the hell happened!”

    Middle Age: Later than you think, and sooner than you expected.

    Look at the bright side: ten years ago ,today you just turned forty!


    Have a good day ladies!
