a certain acquaintance is getting married this end of may and i happened to chat with him today... i congratulated him of course.. alam niyo ba sagot niya?? "ganyan talaga kung tumatanda na.. ikaw din malapit na"
well for one thing it reminded me that i need a boyfriend.. darn him hhe and then it made me realize that maybe marriage is not as ideal or as romantic as i thought it should be.. it seems that marriage is not something that happens because of fate or destiny. it seems that marriage IS an obligation as we grow older..
of course everybody knows the pattern..
as a baby- all we need to do is i dunno learn to talk and walk
as a kid - all we need to do is to be a nice obedient kid
as a student - all we need to do is pass exams and graduate (be it kindergarten, elementary, highschool or college)
as a adult - all we needd to do is GET a job, GET a husband and GET pregnant..
it seems that we're on the end of the cycle.. and then we repeat it all again.. so. what exactly are we suppose to look forward to in this life? lifetime of work and problems??

Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change; courage to change
the things I can; and wisdom to know the
difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to
peace;Taking, as He did, this sinful
world as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;3
That I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.
--- Reinhold Niebuhr

yeah, parang obligation nga sila. for some people it comes so easily though. parang marraiges happen left and right. when i was a kid attending all these weddings, i thought getting married would be so easy. guess not.
enjoy life na lang. the simple pleasures bit. take what you can get. bahala na, that's my motto. i know that sounds kind of bad pero that's how i like it right now. just try and try stuff and bahala na kung anong mangyari
yep, i take it like H does. i think it won't come easily for me either :) oh well. love your life first before sharing it w/ another.
