What’s That White Thing Doing on My Head?

Brushing my hair as usually and I spotted this short little stubby white thing standing tall on my head.

Ugh! Is it what I fear? Is it here now?
Yap. It’s a white hair all right. I thought it might have been a reflection from the light but nope, it’s white and silvery. I pulled it, examined it, confirmed it. I’m officially old age now! Ugh!

Devastating… never thought I would have white hair… never thought I would have to face this eventuality. One white hair, but you know there is more hidden.

Up to this point, I think I’m the only one among my buddies who still have not had any but no more... I'm joining the silvery crowd.

One white hair - so what you might say - may not be much but it’s a heavy blow to my sense of youthfulness. Of course I’m not young, but I can’t even pretend any more. Ugh!

I'm handling well though. Somehow this is not as depressing as when I found my one white eyelash couple of years ago. It was an early sign and I guessed I am prepared for it.

OK, white hair. Nice meeting you but you’ll have to go. Don't rush to come back or bring your friends with you – not all at once anyway.

Hello middle age, here I come!

Color Before Me

FINALLY! After all these years, RK decided to move into the master bedroom. It used to be his mom's room when she came staying with him, then it was always served as a guest bedroom. For the past year, it was more or less a storage room. What a waste!

RK decided that he wanted color for his new room. The room went from plain white to a warm shade of green with gold accent. Check out the "after" picture. Doesn't it look like a show room? Wow! It looked really nice with the brand new bed that he had for the longest time (but just recently assembled). Once RK cleared out all the stuff, I actually got to see the sliding door that opened to the pool side. The room even has a resort feel when the door is open, the sun shines in and a soft breeze brings in the outdoor scent. Nice!! -- Hey babe, you had a paradise in disguise!

What goes with warm light green and gold? How about red? That's what RK did to the little master bathroom. The color was bold and loud but it contrasted nicely with the calmness of the bedroom.

So now the room is done but RK still has not moved in. It's too pretty he said. OK... then, I shall claim it mine. teehee!

Take Notes...

I attended a HR seminar today (oh, past midnight, so yesterday) learning how to make business cases for HR projects. It was a very informative session but the biggest take away for me was a quote from Peter Druker.

"Long range planning does not deal with future decisions... but with the future of present decisions."

Simple yet so precise and clear. It helped me frame my thought process and see straight. I just have to share with you.
