Conversation that followed that discussion-
me: ah i have 3 more years to go before i have to start taking those calcium pills…
classmate A: don't worry we'll remind you when that day comes!
me: …!!!
classmate B: yeahhh definitely! we'll get you that for your birthday present!! hahaha
me: …!!!!!!
classmate C: haha yes, tell us what brand you like, we'll get that for you!
Conversation dissolved into fits of laughter. Gosh, to think that my physiological age has peaked before I equip myself with sufficient knowledge to give back to the society! Aging- it's a concept that doesn't rest well with many. For the most part, I'm fine with it, because with age comes wisdom (well. not necessarily. but hopefully it is so in my case :P). But to know that someday our organs will deteriorate slowly, and that it's part of the life cycle and we can't do anything about it - well that part isn't that nice.
Having said that, when the laughing and thinking lines become a permanent fixture on my face, when I'm 5cm shorter than my already-not-so-tall stature, when I'm just a bag of bones and not much else, I just hope to be a good-natured, fun-loving, healthy self who has a thing or two to teach or share.

All in good time though. All in good time.

its bullshit. research also shows that bioavailibility of oral calcium supplements are poor. generally speaking we get enough if we eat a well balanced diet, less meat, more green leaf vegetables. look at the americans, the more milk they drink, calcium they take, exercise they do, and hormone replacements they take to prevent osteoperosis, they have more bone fractures than asian women. I'll talk to you more or write more about it later...
fugupuff! haha hi! haven't heard from you for quite some time! yes yes tell me more about this. :)
