Musical life

Life is indeed like a music or story. The both has ups and downs, loud and soft, slow and fast.

I am a soothsayer with a magic crystal ball, that's how I tell you what's happening next, do I?
Now, let's take you on a journey about a how a human being's life runs.

-WAIL- An infant crawling out of its mother's womb, wailing at the top of its voice as if to say 'Hello, world! I am here! I am your savior!". Okay, now's the doctor's job to be the peeping tom. It's a boy!!!Then, the precious infant is taken to be cleaned up, registered as the newest citizen of the day.

And that's where the music starts, rolling in, violins up.

6 years, fast eh? The child goes to kindergarten, playing with some newly made friends. Ahem, some saxophone please. This is what meant by friends help to make one's life more colourful and wonderful. And he meets the school bully in junior high school, they are certainly not meeting eye to eye, -drum roll- thinking whether to fight or flight.

FIGHT!-fast music- Punch, smash, kick, push, pull. The principal comes, they paused. Detention time. Two years later he enters high school, graduated from it with good grades and also emerges as the captain of the school's basketball team. Next stop, college.

After college, he goes to work. -marching style music-After working in the same company for many years, he is promoted as CEO of the company. Celebrate good times, c'mon. "Where's the keg?" he said and he and friends went out for celebration. -Allegro con brio music- running fast and lively.

And then, ah, yes, love. That's when the romantic music starts to roll. He meets the girl of his dreams, his princess. I love you, baby. I don't know what to do, I love you, baby.
Gradually, love grows, stronger and stronger day by day, more and more irresistible, just like falling into a deep hole and did not have the energy to get up. "Feels great now," he said in the state of reverie.

-Mariage D'amour- yes, he walks the bride down the aisle. Seconds from saying "I, do" and becoming husband and wife.

Things start to slow down a little after a married life. -Adagio dolce-Soon enough, they start a family together. Sounds of little feet to be heard in the house. So now, they have an extra mouth to feed. They worked so hard 24/7 to find enough money in order to finance a family. Plus, a financial crisis is happening, this means that they have to work even harder.

Work and home. That's the two places they travel for the last 20 years. 20 years! A long period of time, geez, they are getting old already. So the music goes even slower... At long last, their child graduates from university with a degree ready to do great things to the society. -Decrescendo, Ritartando- softer, and gradually slowing down and ends.

How is it? How do you find life? Similiar to this? Who wants to be told about their future? Step up, step up.
