"HOW DID AGING HIT YOU?" 

This was the latest question on facebook trending nowadays. The instruction being to post the first ever photo on facebook and the latest. This would be my #10yearsapart: 2009 in UP-PGH and 2019 in VSMMC. 

Basically, I am a doctor and public service has been my life. It was Senator Jovito Salonga who once addressed his critics by saying "dibale na kung matanda, basta't may pinagkatandaan..." so age we will, and hopefully we age with grace. 

This is another invitation to reflect on how we've lived our lives. "How did aging hit you?" seems to emphasize that life will keep throwing challenges our way and we just have to make sure that we hit back just as hard. 

• More than the physical sense (camera quality matters)  this is a good reminder of how we should age by grace.
