Jim Paredes pinatunayang malakas pa rin sa edad 70: We must know how to live and how to die…
Jim Paredes
PINUSUAN at umani ng mga positibong comments ang birthday post ng OPM icon at songwriter na si Jim Paredes.
Ibinandera ng dating member ng APO Hiking Society na 70 years old na siya ngayon matapos mag-celebrate kahapon, Aug. 31, ng kanyang kaarawan.
Kasabay ng pagpapasalamat sa lahat ng bumati at nakaalala sa kanyang 70th birthday, proud na proud din niyang ibinahagi sa publiko ang kanyang bonggang workout video.
Ito’y para raw ipakita sa madlang pipol na kayang-kaya pa rin niyang mag-exercise kahit nagkakaedad na. Sa katunayan, sa halip na 70 lamang na push-up ang gagawin niya to mark his 70th birthday, umabot pa ito ng 75.
Isinagawa niya ito sa garden ng kanilang bahay gamit ang kanyang yoga mat. Ipinost niya ang video sa Facebook at Instagram.
Aniya sa caption, “I am 70 years old today. Despite the pandemic and some people close to me being in the hospital, I am thankful for many friends, relatives, strangers who have greeted me so far, and more probably during the rest of the day. And I am happy. Life is good.”
“Being 70 is a milestone. Some people see it as the start of the BIG FADE AWAY. I see it as the beginning to the build up of a great sunset. We must know how to live and how to die.
“I will continue to write, sing, live, laugh, cry, love, be inspired, be active, be crazy and put effort into causes that will help me evolve with the rest of humanity,” pagpapatuloy pa niya.
Ipinagdiinan naman ng veteran singer-composer na talagang triple ang ginagawa niyang pag-aalaga sa kanyang kalusugan lalo na ngayong patuloy pa rin ang banta ng pandemya.
“One thing that is evident as you age is that, barring accidents, pandemics, and acts of God, the three greatest killers are salt, sugar, and gravity.
“So far, I have taken care of my self physically with regards to those three. Aging will happen to everyone. From being young and able to shake the world like thunder, we become Tanders. From being current, we become vintage. But to live well, we must keep moving.
“Life is movement. Movement is the clearest sign of life. And so I am posting my ‘proof of life’. Ha ha ha. I practiced a few weeks to build up to this. I don’t think I will be able to do this when I turn 80!” mensahe pa ni Jim Paredes.
