married

defining moment

Having so many things in mind makes it challenging to pen down thoughts. Why did I decide on writing about defining moment? Well, succumbing to the clamor of reinventing my blog site definitely “pushed” me to write this entry.

For the past two days, I’ve been working on the technicalities and structure of the “ avant-garde” and rebranded site. Right now, it’s in the transition stage. I will fill you in once the ground works is completed.

I’m sure we all have experienced defining moment in our lives. It becomes the moment of truth wherein there’s a certain degree of that “point of no return” scene which will eventually lead to a metamorphosis.

Whether the end result is good or not so good, what matters most is having the backbone to decide and firmly acting on it with determination.

Aja!

planning

One thing that doesn’t apply to me is planning my life. Whenever I intend to aim for something, it will automatically become elusive. After doing several attempts, I finally accepted the fact that planning doesn’t work for me.

Proof? Here you go:

Lovelife. I wanted to get married by year 2000 but it did not happen. I thought, it maybe too early so I extended it to 2005. It “almost” happened. However, some obscure phenomenon hindered it. Thus, this stage is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION. :p

Habitat. Initially, I intended to work in Qatar but I wound up working in Singapore. I planned to settle in Europe for good but I ended up migrating in North America. I’m still in limbo with this turn of events. Maybe fate brought me here? Whatever it is. I’m here to stay.

Work. My goal is to follow my late mother’s wish which is to keep away from the teaching force and my ultimate dream after graduation is to become a Programmer (aka Software Developer or Software Engineer). Yet, I ended up teaching for almost 8 years and did several other jobs but never as a Software Developer.

The above-mentioned are some of the instances which made me stopped outlining my goals and just go with the flow. It`s kinda weird because when I stopped planning my life, things started to fall into place.

Let’s wait and see. Aja!

wedding

I’ve been asked a gazillion times when will I get married and it’s like a broken record that kept playing in my head whenever I hear that question. Sometimes, I still get irritated no matter how hard I try to play it cool. :p

I’m in my early 30s, and so what? As they say, life begins at 40. Ha! At any rate, I’m also human and I long to get married someday. However, entering the married life for the sake of having a husband and kids doesn’t appeal to me.

I could have been married a couple of years ago but I opted not to. Although, I suffered a lot of turbulent events because of that, it’s been one of the wisest decision that I’ve ever made in my entire life. My life could have been hell or even worse. Whew!

I definitely want to get married someday (sooner rather than later) BUT with the guy whom I would love and look forward to see and be with, day in and day out, in sickness and in health, through good times and bad times, through hardship and prosperity… Awwwwww…. I’m getting cheesy. :p

I want to spend the rest of my life with someone whom I really really really want to be with. Adoption will be an option if I can’t have kids by then. Also, I can just travel the world, earn buttload of bucks and find myself a good home for the aged to take care of me when I get old if I don’t crosspath with my “guy”. 🙂

Anyway, below are some of the standard replies that I’ve formulated to the frequently asked question, “when are you getting married?”:

in God’s time
Reaction: they look at me in a very strange way then shut up.

tomorrow, venue: Jollibee (Filipino version of McDonalds), food: kiddie meal (toy included which served as a souveneir)
Reaction: They laugh and say that I’m funny. Some actually believes it though. whoa!

next year, it will be in Las Vegas
Reaction: “Oh! How can we attend, We don’t have a budget for the airfare”

Reaction: None yet. I’ve just thought of it.

It seems like I’ve managed to turned the tables on them. It tickles my funny bone whenever I see their reactions. Ha!

Single ladies rock the world! 😀 Aja!
