No Face
Oh man, I'm... bushed.
All this wedding preparations for my brother... It really is draining. Well, actually more to the point, it's having to take care of the relatives who have come all the way from the Philippines. I also feel very sorry for my wallet.
But it's all such a heavily happy affair. It's like, not really a super excited kind of happiness where you jump up and down if you won the lottery but more like a very long drawn out chocolate binging session. The last time I saw my relatives was when I went back there in 2010 and a fair bit has happened since then so there's lots of stories to catch up with. And then there's the necessary socialisations occuring with the bride's family too.
Of course, inevitably the fact that I'm the only one of my generation of children in the family who is still unattached is frequently brought up. I can tell you, that gets old very quickly. Just gotta put up with it and dodge the questions about my love life. My recent exploits aren't exactly things I like repeating to anyone, let alone relatives.
I just want to curl in front of the TV. Hikkikomori life sounds so appealing right now.
