Little things vol. 2
YOUR FATE IS NOT MINEEverytime I visit a friend's family whenever there's a birthday, I am always asked why I am not like most.. (that is, getting married and shit like that). Being the tolerant person that I am, I always just grin and tell them I don't feel like it just yet.. (these people have single daughters bordering 30)
(at some microsecond moment, I imagine grabbing the nearest chair and slamming it into the face of whoever who asks me that)
Older people are so nosy..
MARKETING
From the words of my friend:
Love is like marketing.. it's about picking who's the "better deal".
This came from a girl, mind you.
This is one of the important lessons you have to learn in life. People will always look for something in a person, and if they don't have THAT, they won't spend the rest of their lives with you, much less like you.
Which is why my friend is (still) single. She MIGHT remain single until her teeth will fall off, if she keeps on thinking like this however. Well that's not my concern anymore. I just like writing about it to voice her out.
For my part (i'm going to be saddistic), I sometimes chide when people who have super idealistic shit fall flat on their face. I'm idealistic too, but not enough to lose my head over something that's impossible.
THOUGHTFULNESS
Do you know that a simple "hi" over the sms airwave can cure a week's worth of depression compared to a forwarded message? For fuck's sake, email has been taken for granted to the point that people are too lazy to make even one-liner messages. Trust me, it's really simple -- try sending some person a personalized non-forwarded message. It makes you and the receiver feel better.

Poeple are now past asking me when Arnie and I will get married. They now ask when we're having kids! How do you answer that? "Um, we feel like popping one out next week?" Haaaayyyy!

I hate forwarded messages. I really do. Whether it be thru SMS or email, I just can't stand 'em and I would delete the entire thing without bothering to read past the first few words.
Call me nasty, but I aint got any time at all for people who say that they don't have the time to type me a personalized message. Funny isn't it that they should go claiming they don't have time, yet spam us with a humungous amount of these forwarded cr*p?! Man, how many hours difference is there to type in a simple hello and to choose which forwarded message to send?? Hay, mga tao talaga...
i think we must make lsd-induced excuses everytime relatives accost us why we're not married yet.
heheheh like tell them that you still plan to rape 70 virgins in the next year...
we're on the same boat. i've been asked many times about my status and i just smile and tell them that i like being single. either that or i just change the topic.
and i know what you mean about forwarded messages. i'd gladly read a lengthy personalized email (heck, better, a snail mail!) rather than a forwarded one. you taught me this. =)
not all old people are like that... sigh... some are annoyingly GORGEOUS... ;)
very true on thoughtfulness
*nods head*
though i admit at times i spam text when unlimited (para sulit wehehe XD), kaya ako nag-unli para mangumusta. justification ba? ^_^
in this technological age, sometimes (or most of the time) we tend to forget human interaction, ei?
