Why Marrying Young is Not My Thing

via
People my age and even those younger than me are already getting married. Now, you must be thinking that I am envious of them and I am here to blab my sour grapey reasons why marrying young is such a no-no. Well, marrying young is alright as long as you are ready in all aspects. So, let me give you my thoughts on why I am still single and free at this age.

1. Financially speaking, I am not stable. I may have my little savings account, but there are still no major investments, emergency fund, personal health insurance (only in the company, which is kind of unstable given the fact that resigning is always an option). Wedding calls for hundreds of thousands and marriage even calls for more. Read: house, money, car. Geez, I just purchased my very own lappy this year.

2. Waking up in the middle of the night makes me cringe. I am not yet ready to be a mother. And, I mean  breastfeeding is something I am not ready to handle yet. Though I am looking forward for the hip expansion. I seriously think my shoulders are broader than my hips.

3. As of now, I prefer to buy plane tickets than diapers, which would eventually land on the bin the morning after. Milk cost thousands and a can can be emptied in a week or less. (Unless I would want to breastfeed my baby.) So, where does that leave me? I mean, I am not ready to give up my personal motives. YET.

4. Weddings make me gushy so I am thinking that my wedding should be perfect. Me, so slim. My hair so fab. And the details all taken care of. I want a hipster wedding. You know, with those striped straws and handwritten notes. Themed snack bar and real cool photo booth. And oh, I want a perfect wedding video and pre-nuptial photos. So. This takes an awfully lot of time and money. Go figure. :)

That's all, my friends. But He only knows the perfect plans for me so I would welcome my wedding day with a big heart. ;) And I pray the proposal would be romatically witty. Not so mushy and soo put together and not too public. I would even say yes to this:


;)

The Magic of Falling in Love with A Reader

So, I was torn between doing my critical article review for my Economics class, working online and blogging earlier. School assignment triumphed, blogging won the second place. Side hustling is for later. Congralute me, loves? Tumblr photo credit But before that, this sneaky article entitled,  Why Readers, Scientifically, Are The Best People To Fall In Love With caught my attention and while reading, I can't help but feel kilig for my boyfriend because he got a reader as a girlfriend. Haha. See, I like reading. I love reading way back in elementary. Dad got me a basket-full of books when he goes home (from working over the sea). The only thing that I have regretted is reading Sweet Valley Kids because it has poisoned my mind in finding true love and first kisses when I was just ten or eleven freaking years old. When I have kids, love story books should be out of their shelves. Real novels only, soon-to-be-babies. I am not claiming that I am this notorious r

In Case of Housemate Disputes, Smile

Happy isn't really a word to describe my day today. Today is like one of those bad hair days, made heavier by bitter longings and ended by irritating conversations. Back then, having a bad day in school is tolerable since I know total peace and quiet is waiting for me when I go home. My home scenario: Play with my dogs. Hug my mom. And eat a home-cooked dinner. Now that I am older and working, I have nothing to pour my days’ negativities on to but the internet. I am lucky if everything is smooth-sailing in the apartment. However, apartment life with fellow young professionals isn’t glam. It isn’t about house parties and beer anymore. You saw unwashed dishes on the sink this morning. You have gone home from work, yet they’re still there. Tomorrow morning, those unclean utensils are the first ones to greet you good morning while you brush your teeth. Nevertheless, smile. It’s a Saturday and your sleeping hours are extended. Finally, a 12-hour sleep, but, knock knock. Oh,

I am such a sucker for lists and goals that my brain does the forward trick, making me think of soooo many things at one time, making my body dead tired to do anything. Lol. Or maybe that is just my slacker excuse for being such a lazy ass. Now, I am going to tell you all about my failed goal tracker systems.  FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 1 - Wordpress Daily Tracker Blog Anyway, I did a temporary blog on my goals. I called it, "How Did The Dame Do Today?" . I was only active for three months there. Hah. I had a following though. Wordpress can really get you readers. Makes me think of migrating my personal blog in there. But again, I am toooo lazy to do it and I am quite afraid I might lose some posts. It's an abandoned blog now. Oh, well. FAILED GOAL TRACKER SYSTEM # 2 - Monthly Goals Last month , I started this monthly goals. Complete with typography if I may say. It went well for... a day? Yeah, just with the goal-setting part. What a shame. The poster
