You're getting married?!

Here I am, working overtime so I can be absent for work on Friday. It's my cousin's wedding on Friday and I was picked to be one of the bridesmaids. I'm quite excited for the reasons that I'm going to wear something fabulous and I'll get my hair done. Let's include with this excitement the fact that my cousin, who happens to have a sort of complicated love life, is finally settling down.

Since it's the month of heart (I just assumed that February is that month, hello Valentine's!) and I'm hearing wedding bells, I'll talk about marriage.

What's with marriage?

Let's start with the thinking that it is the union of two people committed with each other...Two people who promised that they'll love and cherish each other til death.

I seemed to sound sarcastic but really I have nothing against getting married. I, myself, wishes to get married someday...with the right person hopefully.

I just observed that people nowadays are giving less importance to marriage. This is just my opinion. In a situation where the woman find out she's pregnant, her family hurriedly pushes her to get married to her boyfriend. I know they also have their own reasons why they want them to get married. My point is, why not get married at your own desire?

This is a long discussion, I know. Just want to voice out my simple thoughts.

A few more minutes and I'm out here.

Can't wait to see the person I hope to walk the aisle with someday.

Sidewalks are not enough

I had this song on loop almost the entire day yesterday at imeem. The song is comprised of amazing lyrics and simple tune. Entitled Chasing Pavements by Welsh jazz and soul singer Adele.

I've made up my mind,
Don't need to think it over,
If I'm wrong I am right,
Don't need to look no further,
This ain't lust,
I know this is love but,

If I tell the world,
I'll never say enough,
Cause it was not said to you,
And that's exactly what I need to do,
If I'm in love with you,

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

I'd build myself up,
And fly around in circles,
Waiting as my heart drops,
And my back begins to tingle
Finally could this be it

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep on chasing pavements?
Should I just keep on chasing pavements?

Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere,
Or would it be a waste?
Even If I knew my place should I leave it there?
Should I give up,
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere

So why bother posting the lyrics of this song?
Because definitely that's the same situation where I am right now.
Yeah, chasing my own pavements but believing that it will lead to something.

25

There has been a fad happening on Facebook where you have to list down 25 things about you then you have to choose 25 friends who'll do the same. I'll follow the trend but with a little twist.

For a change, let me do that 25 I-believe-I'm-amazing list here at blogspot. Yeah fine, that's not a big change but at least I tried to somehow make it different. (agree?)

So, here is it. Hold on tight. (As if this is mind-blowing and you really care, but I know you care.)

1. I have been wearing my braces for 4 years already.
2. I love movie, movie dates, and movie sites. (Anything that has to do with movies)
3. I wear flip flop even when I go to work or to church.
4. I never get tired of going to SM Megamall after work with my officemates.
5. I love sitting near the window in public utility buses.
6. My cooking skills are terrible. But I know how to fry and microwave food. (whew!)
7. I have six piercings on my ear; three piercings on each ear.
8. My hair is naturally color brown.
9. I eat a lot but I don’t get fat.
10. I love to eat at Jollibee.
11. I have allergic rhinitis which causes me to sneeze every morning.
12. I’m fond of wearing skinny jeans.
13. There are times when I can’t leave the house without putting on blush on.
14. I love cocktails and liquors. (Alcoholic tendencies. Hehe)
15. I’m currently on the act to eliminate my lung-infesting habit.
16. I hate my small fingernails.
17. I hate my feet. (Aargh. Flat-footed.)
18. I love reading books from thrift stores.
19. I’m fond of watching crime stories. I’m interested on how they solve the case and knowing the criminal’s motive. Wooh.
21. I want to travel around Asia.
22. I want to develop more my skills as a web writer. Ehem.
22. I’m into rock music. Not hardcore but more on alternative.
23. I’m a couch potato. I can watch three TV shows simultaneously.
24. I used to fear writing. I’m so afraid to commit mistakes on grammar and tenses.
25. I’m glad to overcome that fear. I want to write. I’m free to write.

I'm not tagging anyone here at blogspot because obviously I can't do that. Make your own 25 things as well. You'll learn a lot about yourself.
