By now i should have gotten used to this. But I just can't. I'm sorry I'm only human...but GRRRRR!!
I know most of them mean well, and some are just plain nosy, but why do some people think the key to one's happiness is getting married? and having kids for that matter. Someone even said, "Oh poor you! What will happen to you when you get old! And you're like...how old now?"
Ugh.
I just stood there with this plastered smile on my face when what I wanted to do was slap her. It's like the world's greatest mystery why I'm not married yet.
This afternoon, another patient of mine asked me again the $64,000 question and then read my palm to see if I'll get married in the future! Of course I can't be rude to her coz she's my patient. She even asked if anyone is courting me, I just said yes and didn't tell her anymore that I have a boyfiend..blah, blah, because I wanted to end the conversation right then, but NOOOO she added that most guys who like me are either a) widowers b) married c) annuled because it is WRITTEN there in my palms. I swear, I had to grit my teeth and take deep breaths to control myself.
I'm really running out of answers to that question. I've tried polite, rude, witty, silly answers to no avail, the question just keeps popping up.
Good thing my family and close friends never put me in such a position. They never questioned me about my choices in life, and are very supportive about it. Although I honestly think that they sometimes worry about it.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to get married someday, but it's my business when it's going to be. and of course my husband-to-be's. Whoever he may be.

Hmmm...yeah...some people are disillusioned as to what constitute to being happy. Yes, marriage can be one happy thingy but it's not the ultimate happiness in the world. It's just a bonus in life me feels. Happiness comes from one's self no? We do make our own happiness. It's our choice to be happy and I choose to be that. Heee. May connect ba yon? Heee. Love ya Dra. God Bless.
my gas! it's like reading my own blog! trulily, i can definitely relate to this entry. there's a lot of people out there who are so judegemental about girls being already over 30 and still single- as if there's something wrong with us or something missing in our lives. what they fail to realize sometimes is that girls like us still get to enjoy pa some things in life that already married girls did not get to enjoy anymore. next time somebody asks you the mystery question, just reply the mystery answer: "i don't know either. tell me why. i wanna know too."
The grass only SEEMS greener on the other side of the fence. Who said that? I agree 101%.
uuuyy! what do you mean "Whoever he may be?"
