brouhaha

“Am I wrong? Is it bad?”, Mama asked.

There goes her question pertaining to a friend’s son being introduced to me.

Hahaha.
I thought I just see it in KDRAMAS?

I used to love reading and even watching arranged marriages or arranged romance set up by elders that it has become quite a fantasy to me. I never knew there’s this chance of me being attempted to get one for myself.

I find it funny and refreshing at the same time.
To be honest, I am completely surprised that this idea came from my parents’ mouths.
My parents?! Seriously?

I have a couple of things that I am curious about though.

1)      Do they feel I won’t marry at all?
2)      Do they think I won’t get someone to love if I choose it myself?
3)      Are they that worried about me?
4)      Are they expecting BIG about this supposed introduction?

Never in a million years would I think of being arranged to someone but when they asked me…
I laughed so hard in disbelief.
Aren’t we in the 21st century?

Either way, I am not sixteen anymore and there’s some excitement to that setup.
I am not saying I am all for it but I am not closing doors.

I’m thinking… this isn’t the right time to make a big brouhaha about it anymore.
I even told my sis that it’s just like shoe shopping, you don’t actually need to buy the first one that fits… you go around and check first which one suits you best.

So me, introduced to a family friend’s son?
No problem! J

Friendship is spelled with END

As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
