Time stops for no one. But thanks to Biologique Recherche (BR), a brand that takes a profound approach to beauty, time is arrested in terms of signs of aging.
There, in the presumption that, having lived longer and seen more, one knows better, lies the great burden of age. I may have been lugging that burden around perforce, but I’m not as eager to dispense from it as I used to, as an editorialist. Retired now from that weighty job, I’ve determined precisely to lighten my load and brighten my days.
The three lovable Delgado sisters sit in a front pew of the Power Plant chapel at Rockwell for a Mass commemorating the anniversary of Cory Aquino’s death. As usual for any Cory occasion, they are dressed in casual-chic yellow and, as usual for just about any occasion, wearing their golden-brown hair neatly teased. In their late 80s now, they look frailer than when I saw them last, but they remain bright-eyed and enthusiastic.
Presuming, of course, there’s time yet to be anything other than older, I do have some thoughts about what I’ll be then. They’re really not so much about becoming something or someone else as about going out in some style, with an image to be remembered by.
IS IT TRULY a race against time when aging is the issue?
One day, scientists may find a way to alter our genes so that our bodies could have a stronger immune system. Or to slow down our inner biological clock. But until that day comes, we need to take action now.
I don’t remember exactly when the denial—or, if you like, the cheating—began. Was it as early as in my 40s, when I started dyeing my hair? Or as late as in my 60s, when I invested in my first body shaper?
There has been a change of consciousness, a paradigm shift, an evolving awareness of the body, not just as a machine but as a vessel of something precious—the spirit.
I love birthday parties—especially mine. There can never be too many candles on my cake. They say, “Growing old is a privilege denied to many.” So when others get depressed with the passing of the years, I say, “Keep ’em coming!”
Many men these days are not only concerned about how they look. They also take the time and make the effort to keep young and fit. As the boyfriend of a friend told me, “It takes a lot of work to look this good,” pointing to himself.
