Getting Old...Fast!

I’m feeling old already. Before it was just all about parties and attending friends’ debuts. Now it’s all about getting invited to friends’ weddings, if not baby christenings. Aack! Before all we had to worry about are curfews, school, and relationship woes. Now aside from worrying about our careers, we also have to worry about our future—future husband, future babies, future married life. Whoa! Before all we talk about are gossips, crushes, and other senseless things. Now we talk about how we’re going to start being serious and prepare for the next level. Yikes!

I actually don’t know where I currently fit in all these. Most of the time I’m sold to the idea of getting settled for good. But there are times it scares the hell out of me. I see married couples splitting up, families broken by infidelity, and what have you. That’s why I really try hard not to get swayed by the constant pressures of finding “someone” already and getting hitched. With love, I think I deserve the right to be picky. I can’t settle for less. It’s a serious deal. It’s a lifetime commitment after all. I want to do it right the first time. I don’t want a second time or third time for this. Believe me I’m looking forward to it. I really am. I just don’t have an idea when…

Shrek is the Man!

I got a text, a meaningful one, from Shar this morning. It goes,

Tinkerball speaks, they say that when you leave NeverLand you'd grow up and meet different people who'd try and make you believe. Sometimes you'd choose a Prince, he would take you to his castle, dance with you but allow you to leave when the clock strikes 12. Sometimes you'd meet Spiderman, he'd give you the sweetest kiss but then he'd vanish all the time. Then there's Peter Pan, a guy who'd take care of you and fly with you against the wind but then you'd notice that his heart belongs to Wendy.

So I'll be like Fiona, I'll find my Shrek...not perfect but real and stays forever.

I'm all for Shrek. Always have been.
