Valentine's day is over and surprisingly enough, that day seemed normal. I didn't get to see lots of ladies with flowers, not much decors, not much reds and hearts everywhere (maybe because it's their culture here I don't really know. haha) however, what touched my heart was seeing men buy flowers. I still find it a rare sight to see because I feel like not often men do that (Agree or disagree? haha)
For the past few years, I've always been so bitter about Valentines or love in general. I've seen love fall apart, I've seen ghosting happen so easily, I've seen a wrong kind of love, I've seen love left unsaid, you name it, I probably have heard it somewhere or experienced it myself. I don't know why love is always the topic for my blog when I'm not even in love. How ironic.
In saying that, being single for quite a while now, I feel like I've heard so much opinions from others about what I should do or should be doing that sometimes, I'd ran out of words to say and just smile to at least, respond. Haha. Here are the 5 things that I hate hearing over and over again and I hope those of you who are reading this can relate to them too!!! Comment if you do!
Me: Uh, yes I already know that. So then, what? (Taray! Hahaha)
2. Why are you so picky?
My opinion on this: Being alone makes you realise what you can and can't do. It makes you become comfortable to the silence of your own company. It makes you independent. It makes you whole by being yourself. You're picky because you've come to a point in your life where settling for someone for the sake of having someone feels like you're losing yourself and who you really are. You're picky because you know it takes more than just 'someone' to make you feel like you can't do it all and you still need someone to take care of you. (Daming sinabi. hahaha :P)
3. Date again.
My Miss Universe answer: I promised myself to, now, date for the intention of marriage and not for the purpose of validating my looks and who I am as a woman. I thank you. (Pwede na? hahaha)
4. You're pretty. Why are you single?
Me: (Cricket sound for 2 minutes) Thank you? hahaha. ***Then changes the topic and refuses to answer question number 2)
5. What's your type?
I feel like this question is so basic but so hard to answer. Don't you guys agree? Haha.
Personally, when being asked this I always tell them that I don't know (because I don't really know so stop asking me twice).
I just want someone who loves Jesus, can make me laugh, and someone who's not afraid to try new things and just enjoys simple picnics and hikes. (or maybe someone who can cook too because I suck at cooking hahaha :P) To you who's reading this and you have a better answer to this question than "I don't know", please let me know. Haha! :P
'We love because He first loved us'.
Have an awesome week! <3
