relationships are complicated, whether you like it or not
there are so many things i have to consider.. things i may have to give up, things to keep, things i may gain, things to share, things that may affect the people around me...
and i hope he's considered these things too.
my dad's become a little more irritable, according to my mom. it's typical for a father to think "i didn't work hard to provide my daugher with comfortable life all these years only to give her away to someone with whom she has to start all over!"
allen and atchi are both working in singapore, and my parents are okay with that. my situation is a little... different.
my mom is subtly (or so she thinks) trying to sway me towards one side, saying things like "if you do end up together, you won't be able to do this anymore, afford that, etc.." i know, i know. but it's not like i'd die without these things. money isn’t everything…but it is a big thing, especially with the current economic situation. it would be cool if all the leaders of the world could just come together and go "hey, let's go back to the barter system" or something. yeah yeah i know, that would screw everything up right now...figures why i got a barely passing grade in economics. :)
but seriously... i don't think i can take public transportation in the philippines. it freaks me out, especially with the way i look: chinese=money is how people usually look at me. i hate how that's basically the stereotype here. and now i know how caroline feels when people introduce her as the daughter of so-and-so, owner of this-and-that. i don't like being introduced to strangers as the owner of this restaurant; it's not the only thing that makes me who i am. and it shouldn't be the only thing that defines me! it's like the people are saying "hey look at me, i know the owner of ___" argh.
anyway... if this is God's will for my life, He will make everything work out. I just know it.
So no more impulse buying on yesasia. (that's what relatives ABROAD are for! haha..)
