definitions
defining growing up is like defining democracy, its very problematic. if taken on an idealistic context then nobody will fit the description so we must take a "minimalistic" or the Schumpeterian meaning, which for democracy is countries which held periodic, relatively honest and universal suffrage, and with growing up the minimalistic definition would be someone who at the end of the year adds another digit to his age, with that definition everybody is included right?
for me, i think growing up is making decisions that you have to stand up and be responsible for. these decisions can be influenced once in a while but the ultimate answers would have to be yours, whatever decision you make consequences would arise and if you don't make these decisions major setbakcs could occur. and growing up entails more and more decision making which has bigger and bigger consequences, sometimes we don't want to deal with these but we have to because the future of mankind is at stake (wow! very melodramatic). anyhow, what i'm driving at is everybody grows up, while growing up we make decisions and these decisions carve our paths.
i must decide now! to drop the mouse and pick my pen and start making seat plans. see what growing up does.

Whole
name is Ma. Francia Camacho Rosero.
Libran (go figure where her birth date falls) in the year 1985. Sees
herself as a leader,
she never avoid situations
where she can learn and improve. She
has a knack for reading and really likes her skin color
(hence, the inspiration for the picture) because it
makes her truly Filipino. She loves to sing while doing the dishes and dance
while cleaning. She loves to watch movies and laugh with Vic and Jose. She digs
Disney movies and still loves Lindsay Lohan although she metamorphosed to
something undistinguishable. She has great and big dreams
both for herself and family but find those dreams really selfish, since she
hasn't figured out yet what she can for her country. She would love to work for
humanity. But for the mean time she's just working on familiarizing herself with
every word in the dictionary. A destructive perfectionist, she loves to ask how
things work and likes to know why things works this way and not that way. She is
fascinated by the Arab Culture, Mafia and organized crimes and she really likes
History. She loves watching the news and listening to speeches. She likes
watching sports although she doesn't really know how to play them and one habit
she has been trying to overcome is stalking actors and actresses. She is a frustrated athlete.
And she's serious about her spirituality.
