THE love life of a senior citizen, like ancient Mt. Mayon, shows signs of quiet but not explosive eruption. Being young at heart is the known antidote to aging. The following suggest that you still have it in the mind even if you had been castrated by unforgiving time.
If you have a constant drive to achieve an unfinished goal.
If you have the humour to make light of a tense situation.
If you can dress in style and taste to suit every occasion.
If you can exude a youthful looking personality by living a purposeful and meaningful life.
If you want or think of leaving something worthy behind.
If you are the first to try the latest in fashion styles.
If you’ve learned the value of letting go of unnecessary things and hold on to those that make your life peaceful and happy.
If you can engage your spouse in a physical play once in a while to reactivate muscles idled by time and boredom.
If you aspire to create renewed warmth and passion in intimate relationship and watch porno to stimulate the mind.
If you can put excitement to your sex life by taking showers together.
If you welcome the trials in life not as intruders but as friends.
If you can stay in love, the heart that loves is always young.
If you find pleasure in touring world capital cities and tourist destinations while finding joy in visiting a local village.
If you believe that there is no absolute standard in beauty which makes its pursuit exciting.
If you can look at a beauty queen, like Levy Laus does, with equal critical appreciation as when he sizes up the latest car model at CarWorld.
If you don’t measure your life by the number of broken hearts you’ve left behind but by those whose lives you had restored.
If you have the seasonal appetite of Macky Pangan who used to finish two orders of baby back ribs despite his missing front teeth.
If you can look at a pretty girl and consider her a potential voter like City Mayor EdPam does.
If you can dress up to stand out or wear distressed pants and sneakers as a sense of self expression.
If Tess Laus, the lola, can reinvent her hairdo and beats her granddaughter in the way she sports her youthful style.
If you can fulfill your parental duties and still find time for your personal happiness, including fantasizing and mental infidelity.
If you can dance a Strauss waltz and “Let’s do the Twist” with equal aplomb.
If the true test of being young at heart is not in having the best of everything in life, but in making the best of everything that life brings along your way including an aging wife that had seen better days.
