It will be almost a year now since I joined our high school batch Yahoo group, and yet, I never really shared anything with them—save for that sole comment I did, well, a year ago almost.
It’s rather unusual though that only a few are still in touch with each other—and that a lot doesn’t seem to know about it (the group). I mean, isn’t everyone our age into the internet lately, or some have opted to live a life of recluse, which is odd since I am the one who eschew societal norms and yet I’ve somehow managed to belong.
Whatever the reasons, there’s one fact I have discovered: everyone seems to have grown bigger these days—horizontally that is. Though, I am driven to warn the reader that this isn’t funny at all. Now if you ask me how I feel about it (growing huge), from my perspective of the result of years of consuming saturated and trans-fats—I have no idea how it feels. I never really changed physically.
At any rate, opinions really vary as with regards to getting fat. Some say it is the culmination of years of neglect, while others simply say it is cute. Many obese persons may even say they’re in fact healthy, being endowed with a burly frame and all, and some really disagree and dismiss it as a sick idea.
Many, who failed after years of profuse dieting merely called it quits; they’re all tired of pills and the smell of sweat from the gym. Anyway, even without dieting and all those workouts people are really going to look different after high school, especially because high school is the peak of youth, and everyone becomes “old” after that phase. It’s just a matter of time, they say.
Of course not everybody will look old the way it’s meant to be. As for me, after endless attempts to get buffed, I almost always end up with drinking buddies—and I still look the way I did back in high school, and never ever bitter about it. It must be the genes.

P.S. Those guys in the picture are my highschool classmates. One can check out who remain "as is," and have not. And believe me, some of them are famous. - KGB
Well, for one, at least they don't look like a bunch of mother's yack-yacking on how domesticated life is. Whether their married or not they look pretty damn approachable still (or is it just that party look that's going with the pic that attracts me??). About sedimentary fat developing, well, it is a fact these days, especially in my batch, but i've seen a whole lot fighting it as well. But what can we do about the speed of our glands? Your's seems to be still working fine karl. You should see mine slowing down lately. hehehehe.
ReplyDeleteThe big factor is actually metabolism. After thirty it slows down. Sometimes it shuts down; not my problem. Weird isn't it?
