If you ask me, my age is still in the calendar and the Celsius thermometer.This is a joke that we share in the office when someone celebrates their birthday and worries about their age. We would just jokingly say, "Hey I know that you are a year older, but your age is still in the calendar or the Celsius thermometer scale so don't fret about that". I know this age thing is a serious issue for the majority especially when you feel that you have a lot of things that you still want to to do with your life, but find yourself at a point that you are not able to pursue the things that matter to you.
I sometimes feel that way too, but as long as there is life, you can still do the things you are passionate about regardless of your age, whether it's still in the calendar, in the Celsius thermometer or outside of it. Be inspired. Choose life. Live life. Live it well. Viva la vida!

My age has gone off the calendar. I am on the Celsius thermometer scale and it is not very warm. It is only 37 degrees so that is not much warmer than freezing. I had something wonderful happen to me this year. My baby daughter was born this June. I was able to travel to Cape Town and the Garden Route in January. I am happy with my life at the moment. I hope that I will be successful with moving to a bungalow and pass my driving test in 2010. Good luck and have a happy time in your life.

Congratulations Maximax on safely delivering your baby daughter. What is her name? I am still single but I am currently taking care of my 6 month old niece named Myca. She is a bundle of joy.It is very good to know of these beautiful things that happened to you like your travels to Cape Town and Garden Route. Hope you can post here your experiences when you went there. And most of all, I wish you the best in your driving test and getting the home of your dreams.

My age is in the calendar. I'm only 22. I think when I get to that point when my age is not in the calendar anymore and someone would ask my age, I think the best answer would be "I stopped counting when I was 18.", especially when your still look like an 18 year old child, a baby face is the term I think. lol. But I wouldn't worry too much about my age going off the calendar.

True enough.Age is only on the calendar,Ha ha! I also believe that a happy life ,forget the age ,size,maintain their own curiosity.is very important.You look around us ,but added that the older person ,you can see they are very happy.and some younger ,but not happy, why not?The mentality is that they do not straighten out.

I hope I'm still in the calendar,as I'm 24.I'm this kind of person who is quite afraid of getting old,just as you say that I still want to do something to fuifill all my dreams.And I'm afraid that my appearance doesn't look so beatufil,or so easily to get terrible diseases.But I know that I shouldn't be that desperate about becoming old year after year.I firmly believe that you can enjoy different kind of wonderful life at different age period.So don't care about how badly we are step in the Celsius thermometer scale,just go ahead to pursue the things you deeply want.
Try to remember that happniess has nothing relationship with age.

Ya really, time runs out so soon. When I think of something that has happened during my school days, I don't understand how fast time has gone. Everything seem like yesterday.
Well, about the things that you have to do, I feel when one plans things accordingly, he can overcome the hurdle of time.
But the mentality to plan things is not easy to come. You must really concentrate on what you want, so that you plan accordingly.
What I mean is If you want to become a doctor, you cannot do it at the age of 30. You must have planned right in high school. But do we really have that kinda insight of life during that age?
Finally we come to the conclusion, it is all fate that decides.
According to me, it is not fate, it is the atmosphere the person is. When you are surrounded by nice people, you will feel like the time is running fast. But when you are in hell, every day will seem to be like a year.
