do you feel offended pag directly or indirectly sinasabing matanda na kayo?

[andygirl]

Not naman na super offended, medyo may konting kirot lang hahaha. That was before. But now I have learned to embrace it. Okay lang sa akin. Totoo naman.  Basta huwag lang insulto ang dating. I'll be 39 next month, carry lang.

[curlyhair]

nope. di naman ako naooffend, kasi di nila mahulaan age ko. i'm turning 35 this july, pero mukha daw akong younger kaya laging mas bata hula nila. and maliit kasi ako, kaya din siguro!

[jookeulae]

naiirita ako kasi kung makasalita naman ng matanda parang di rin sila aabot sa edad ko. haha. pero usually nangyayari lang naman yun pag sinabi ko na [textspeak!] age ko. kala kasi nila super bata pa ako kaya di nila ako nirerespeto eh. hahaha

[khymmmm]

hindi naman ako naooffend.. I'm 23 and I feel old na actually.. pero pag may ibang taong nagsasabing "tumatanda ka na..", okay lang sakin.. kasi hello, ano naman? Enjoy naman ako sa buhay ko..
Mas nao-offend ako pag sinasabihan ako ng "tumataba ka!"

i don't get offended, mas natutuwa pa nga ako sa reaction ng ibang tao when they learn that i'm 33, and they'll say hindi pa ako mukhang nasa 30s

depende sa nagsabi at pagkasabi.. I'm not offended, sometimes annoyed lang. Like if I hear the line kasunod ng tanong na "Bakit hindi ka pa kasal? or kelan mo balak magkapamilya"

[rheinfall18]

medyo lang hehe offended or insecure (much better term) in a way na at this age aminado ako parang di pa ko successful compared to those na ka-age ko lang pero ang dami na narating sa buhay..hay ^^

@.@

^agree with what other sisses says na may mga kasunod pang comment na "bakit di ka pa mag-asawa" , buti na lang pwedeng barahin ng "contest ba, unahan ba to?"

[yssayjayla]

no. in fact i'm proud of my age (33). i still feel young 
and i really do love reminiscing the old days.

[Beng01]

No I am not offended. I am 27 now, and getting married na this year, I will be 28.
I feel young pa nga kasi fiance is 6 years older so feeling ko ang bata ko pa rin :-)

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

oks lang naman, huwag lang mag side comments pa. " wala ka pa ring bf?wala ka bang balak mag asawa? marrying age ka na. dapat nga may anak ka na. I reply this with " dapat nga may asawa na ako. ikaw nga,bata ka pa kaysa sa akin,pero mas mukhang may asawa at anak ka na kaysa sa akin"

[brownpinay]

Me hindi ako naooffend I am turning 40 this July, pero kasi nasa attitude sya talaga..Hindi ako KJ at medyo malakas ang humor ko modesty aside akala nga nila kaedad lang nila ako na nasa 30 to 35....

[qt_ben17]

Slightly. Kaya i compensate it with wearing ng nakakabatang clothes and going into fitness para bumata ang overall looks.

[izabelle]

No! hahaha! proud nga ako na im turning 28 years old na. lol

[hazelbrown_eyes27]

pero I dont see the need for others to tell us that. We know our age, so obviously... we know we are old. Why state our age for us?I just want to ask them.. " you maybe young, but how sure are you that you will live to reach our age?"

[enelym]

no! not at all... sinasabi ko na lang, "be thankful if you reach my age and you still look good as me... hehe

share ko experienced ko dati sa office...
meron kami accountant na masungit at not approachable talaga.
we joke around kasi sungit2x ng face gusto namin makita mag smile.hindi ko talaga siya like, ang maldita sa mga bagong employees, eh hindi naman siya ang manager. kaya tinudo ko na.

sabi ko:    ate pa sign ako for this... (in a sweet voice)
sabi niya:  huwag mo akong tawagin ate kasi mas matanda ka pa sa akin.
( nagalit yata sa joke ^_^)
nag react yung ibang offcemate, may audience na kami...
sabi ko:    eh matanda na nga age ko eh mas matanda naman yung mukha mo.
PAK!  LOL...

hindi naman ako na offend sa sinabe niya. kasi totoo naman mas matanda pa mukha niya sakin and hindi ko like the way she treat us na mga new employees.
yun lang share ko lang naalala ko kasi yung scenario na yun. hehe.

[manhattanite]

Dati oo pero ngayon hindi na.  I may be older than most girls here at work pero I wouldn't trade places with them for anything.  For one, I look at them and see how much more they have to go in terms of maturity and life experiences.  And I remember what a rollercoaster my love life was in my early 20s hahahaha!  As in.  I was so unsure of myself and men at that age.  But eventually I found the one, or better yet, HE found ME hehe, and everything fell into place.  I love being in my 30s kasi I'm more confident, self-assured, financially stable, happily married and overall enjoying and loving my life.  I grew into myself.  I know better how to deal with people and unexpected curve balls. 

And like what others said here, lahat naman tayo tatanda so una-unahan lang yan.  Yung mga mas bata ngayon eh magiging mas matanda din someday.  I really think it's about how young you feel. 

I love this line from the HBO Show, Girls:  “You could not pay me enough to be 24 again.”

Amen!

[dropdeadgorgeous]

siguro ang word na nakapagpa offend sa akin was the term used " luma ka na kasi" - this was the word used by an officemate comparing me to a newcomer. rumesbak naman ako ng sagot na " eh ano ngayon." kasi ayoko rin magpatalo, nasaktan ako eh.hehe. from there she asked for an apology so back to normal na ulit. its ok na sabihan ako na matanda na ako, wag lang masyadong gumamit ng salitang nakakapang liit ng katauhan. isa pa, aminado akong matanda na ako kasi i can see it from my son, ambilis niya lumaki. nakakasabik abangan..

[sima]

no I dont feel offended -- lahat naman eh tatanda LOL
