Used to like .. now not anymore

Do you remember the things that excite us girls when we were 15 years old?

One of it .. Self-manicure.

When I was in school, my friends and I used to keep our nails long. We'd give each other manicure over the weekend. We were just a kid so, our nail color was a mess! Then later on Monday at school, we'd freak out and hide in the ladies room when we hear that teachers are doing spot-check on nails and hair.

That was me back then. Now that I am working, I hate it when my nails long. I type A LOT, therefore having long nails really don't help. It slows down my typing and sometimes it hurts when I accidentally type with my nails.

This is the current condition of my nails ... when I keep putting off on cutting them. Used to have longer back then but now.. when I see it this long, I'd be dying looking for my nail clipper. When I was in school, I go to the ladies room to avoid the spot-check, now at 24 years old I go into the ladies room to cut my nails short and run back to my office to continue my work.

Hmm, I would make a really good school prefect now..right? Too late?

See, I find myself not liking certain things I used to like or do. Vice verse, I find myself starting to like things I used to hate. Anyone feels the same? Don't tell me I'm the only one growing old here.

For example, I used to hate cheese but out of a sudden it seems like my taste buds can handle it. I even have a favorite cheese now!

I used to hate vegetables and now ... okay still do. Sorry. Not making the point.

What else? Ohh, I wasn't a beach person before because I had a few really bad experience with beach when I was a kid. First, I drowned myself when I was 9 years old. Sort of sneaked out on my parents early in the morning because they were still sleeping in the resort. I was there at the beach with my 10 year old brother and seriously thought I was gonna die. Second, I was 12 and I was still getting over my trauma from the drowning experience and I don't dare to go into the beach anymore so I was just playing at the seaside. Before I even realized, I got bitten (does it called bite?) by a starfish and it gave me a rash for one whole month! But now 10 years later, I am suddenly over my traumatic experience and beach doesn't seem so bad to me now. I even enjoy banana ride and Jet-ski now!

It's weird isn't it? We thought we know ourselves but at times, we feel like we are turning into a whole different person. Of course, in a good way. I guess its good to know that I can still surprise myself.
