On Getting Married Issue No.1
Last Monday (May 26, 2008) while i was waiting for my appointment with a government staff, i saw my sister’s grade one teacher. So i approached her and introduced myself. Wow! She still remembers me even after so many years of not seeing each other.
She told me that she is now managing a school for special people (SPED) and often saw my mom whenever my mom would visit our family in Valenzuela. Then, out of nowhere the big question was asked. Are you married? And i said" No, mam". Are you older than my daughter? And i said, "Yes, mam". The she said, " You know, based on my studies and my students in schools right now… most of the kids were born during their mother’s late 30’s or early 40’s."
My immediate thinking was…. oh no… no no no! it will not happen to me! My children will be normal, happy and intelligent children!
Then she said again…. "You know when Joy (her daughter) turned 30, i really pushed her to get married and have a child."
Then the most humiliating thing she can do to me… she said in front of all the people in the office…. "Bukas na bukas din pakasal ka na! Wag mong sayangin ang panahon… mahirap manganak kapag me idad (ouch!) kana! Maghanap ka na ng BF at magpakasal na kayo…"
Haaaaaaayyyyy, what part of "Waiting for the best guy… the one that comes from the Lord" they do not understand? as if naman ganun lang kadali maghanap ng BF much more ng mapapanagasawa no?
Buti na lang, the Lord promised me that the best guy for me is coming…. very very soon… i just have to be patient and hold on to God’s promise.
Naghintay na ko ng matagal para sa guy na nilaan ni Lord sa kin… kaya ok pang maghintay na muli… baka kasi pagnagmadali ako… baka madapa ako at mahirapan na kong bumangon….
Happy and contented being a single…. for now…. that’s me!
