i never thought i am already in that stage in my life...

... where you attend a sort-of family reunion, and your relatives ask you "aren't you getting married yet?". and when you say "no", you get that nagging "well you better hurry. it's going to be hard to get pregnant and be pregnant when you're older. you only have til you're 33... blah blah... how old are you again?". wtf?!??!

ADHD post

with the birthday and the celebration over, i've been a very very bad blogger. i've been meaning to write and i have several blog drafts to prove it. but somehow, after writing the title and the first paragraph, i always get a very very strong feeling of laziness. --------------------------------------- some people are asking if i managed to find a new apartment already. sadly, the answer is "no". and so yes, i am staying in my current apartment... yes, the one which is smack down the middle of salcedo village... and yes, the one with the very very high rent. and for some reason, when people ask and i answer this, they laugh at my face. --------------------------------------- since i'll be staying in my apartment, i've finally decided to sell my gigantic sofa. it just proven itself to be too big and useless for someone living alone. i want to get rid of a lot of my other stuff also, but this is my priority. it's about 2 years old, and it could easily seat 10 people. it's composed of 4 pieces which you could put in any way you like (just like lego!). i'm selling it for 8500 pesos, but if you could take care of delivery or transport, then i'll give it to you for a cheaper price. :)
selling that big sofa in the background (not the bed). the fourth piece is not in the picture. but see how much space it's taking already??? :D
please help me find a buyer. i just really need a lot of space right now, literally. ;) --------------------------------------- another "happening" in my life which a lot of people find very amusing is the number of weddings i have been, and will be attending this year. so far for this year only, i've been invited to 9 weddings and only 2 of which i have declined. (and i already have 2 more weddings to attend to next year). due to this, i have often been compared to Katherine Heigl's character in 27 dresses, which is not very funny because even if i'm attending all these weddings, i am not a bridesmaid! so just to clear the air, i don't have 27 dresses... only 7. the last one of which is cursed and had me ending up with the bouquet, which i managed to successfully avoid in the last X weddings i've been to (where X is positive number greater than 10 and less than 30). whoever said that the one who will catch the bridal bouquet will be married next is in for a long wait.
