*break*

taking a break from work, i just had to write this entry
****
i think i've reached that age wherein most of my peers are getting hitched. my highschool friend is getting married 2 weeks from now, nic is getting married in december (in boracay no less!), my college boyfriend just got married, and a bunch of other people around me are putting on the ball and chain! which got me thinking...are we that afraid of missing the last train to marriageville? when did being single become like a dreaded disease that people want to cure themselves of? and, should we settle, just to be settled?

my closest friends and i are all single, beautiful (of course!), and very driven women. some are single, yet committed (in other words, with boyfried). but when i ask those committed ones if they'll tie the knot soon, most just laugh. the person that surprised me the most was my own brother! i asked him if had any plans to marrying his long time girlfriend any time soon. (my mom's been asking for grandchildren for a long time!) and his answer, not right now. i was happy to hear that from him because i still want to keep him to myself. it's going to be different when he does get married.

the person that did surprise me was my ex-boyfriend nil who got married earlier this year. i always thought that he'd be a bachelor for life, but apparently, he did have marriage in his plans. i guess i wanted to be informed of this earth-shattering news even before it happened.

i guess people come to terms with their marital needs earlier than others. but i firmly believe that if i'm going to get married, it would be to someone who makes me fall in love with him more and more everyday (ala 50 first dates, minus the head injury)! in life, we should never settle. but in the meantime, while i'm waiting for that knight-in-shining-armor/rockstar/cook/pet lover/gentleman, let me just say this again...

i'm single and fabulous!
