the part in the story which i like most was when sharon and her friend talked about getting in love for the shortest possible time because they were already reaching 36. no boyfriends, no flings, no anything just a successful career and an empty big house. i was like smiling to myself while saying, "sana naman hindi mangyari sa'kin yan." but there's a possibility.

why? with mom wanting me not to have a boyfriend until i reach 35 years of age, how could it not be possible? yeah, it may sound totally absurd but honestly, mom is serious about it, more or less. seriously.

i understand she wasn't able to enjoy the life of singlehood because she married my pa early, right after her graduation i think. and now she's not with us, i know she's just afraid what if something happens to me. she's always reminding me of this, that, those...etc. it hurts sometimes because i'm really, really, really, reeaally dead serious about having no commitments...until i graduate from college. (i can't wait until my 35th year..what am i then? an old fart??!).

besides i have plenty of reasons to stay single and happy.
