When you reach a certain age ( mid 30’s and above ), you have this feeling that fewer and fewer people would find you attractive.  Because I was focused on my work and my responsibilities for many years, it never crossed my mind that some young people would actually find me attractive.

Just yesterday, I decided to use a public transportation (“ jeepney” - like a small bus) for the first time after many months.  There were middle age men and women, and a group of young ladies in their late teens to early twenties.  When I got out of the jeepney, and walked on the pavement, the young ladies shouted, “I love you”.  I turned to them with a smile on my face and said, “I love you too”.  Everyone in the jeepney started to laugh.  They waved their hands as I walked on.

The funny thing was, I was actually smiling the whole day.  I realized that no matter what age you are, whether you are married or single, you still need to feel attractive. You still hunger for some form of compliments from people around you.

I think from now on, I should compliment people on the way they look, or the things they do to make their day.

Maybe you should try it too!  Maybe…………………., we could forget the effects of the global financial crises for one day.  Imagine if we could do it everyday. Woooo!!! That is something to think about.
