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

You never realize how much you’ll miss someone until you think about how they wouldn’t be there with you physically, ever. It’s so easy to say that death is a part of life but when that happens, you couldn’t find any motivation for reason not to feel unsettled. Today, July 8 (Monday) at 7 am PST, I received an unsettling message from Papa that Nanay is gone. I called Mama and she confirmed. I went ahead with my regular Monday meetings. Acted as if nothing MAJOR happened. But shortly after lunch, tears escaped me. I couldn’t shake off the emotion enveloping me. The thing is, I thought I have prepared well enough to accept the inevitable. In my resolve, Nanay had led a good life. In her hey days, she was an activist, an ironwoman, wise beyond her years. When I was 12, Nanay brought me to Butuan with her. From Butuan, we traveled to Bacolod via ferry. It was my first ferry ride ever. We then ended in Cebu. I have very fond memories of Nanay. My cousins would go green with envy, bu...

Diffi-CULT

“Difficulties strengthen the mind as labor does to the body.” Well, Marcus Aurelius had it figured out, I thought. When you think of it that way, it makes difficulties a powerful ingredient for growth. It creates a compartment somewhere inside you that makes you feel kind of normal. Who does not go through difficult times, right? Difficulties are like a vortex of darkness. You get sucked into that tunnel. You try to rationalize things, but negative feelings pile up one against the other. When that happens, you get swallowed by it. You feel trapped and hopeless. In mine, I always feel like I am trying too hard for nothing. I feel injustice. I feel as though I get to bear the brunt of things. It is both a curse and a blessing to do it solo. Curse because I get to feel like everything is a one-man show. Blessing because it makes me mentally stronger. Like what is there to lose other than a mouth (my mouth) unfed? A few years ago, I had an economic difficulty. It was difficult to m...

HOW TO GET A BAND 6 and UP IN IELTS WITHOUT HAVING TO ENROL IN A REVIEW CENTER? What is IELTS? According to this site : The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) measures the language proficiency of people who want to study or work where English is used as a language of communication.

Academic or General Training. Listening and Speaking are the same for both tests, but for Reading and Writing sections, the subject matter is different depending on which test you take.
