I Me Wed

I recently came across this movie while searching for something else on youtube. Ran out of things to do so I decided to watch this. Well, what can I say? As soon as I'm done watching all I wanted to do is run off and marry myself! Now that would be a sight, wouldn't it...

This is the story of Isabel Darden, attractive and successful but is 30 years old and still single. The thing is, she's having a blast and doesn't mind being single at all, but her family and friends (both married and single) kept at nagging her and trying to fix her up with guys that are not her type. They meant well I suppose, because they didn't want to see her ending up as a dried-up old spinster (at age 30?? come on!) and want to see her happily married, making babies and living in a house with a white picket fence. But as sweet-natured and patient as she is, alas she got fed-up with their incessant meddling and refusal to believe that she is indeed happy being single and wouldn't want to settle down just because everyone else is that she decided to have a ceremony to marry herself! Intriguing idea indeed...

So, against her family's and friends' wishes she went ahead with her plans. But things got rather complicated: when her ceremony garnered a lot of attention from the media and the public that said what she's doing is a symbol of women empowerment, and offered to sponsor her "wedding" and a gorgeous wedding dress; and it didn't help her either when she finally met a wonderful guy that could possibly be the one. But by then it was too late to do anything but to go ahead with her plans. So, should she just go ahead with it and not tell her guy (which seems to be oblivious of it all) until after the wedding and risking losing him later, or should she tell him about it anyhow and risk losing him now? Hmmmm, a tough choice to make...

But anyways, she did went ahead with her 'self-affirmation' event. Her aim of doing this is not because that she will never ever get married, but it is to make a vow that she will do what she feels right when the time is right with the right person, and not sacrifice the part of her that makes her HER. What touched me the most was the vows that she made to herself:

I, Isabel Darden, love myself.
I honour myself, and I cherish myself.
And most importantly, I promise to really be true to myself, from this moment forward, no matter what...

I wish I'd have the courage to do this. But then again, you don't need a fancy schmancy wedding party to make that vow. You can do it without all the trappings and have that self-affirmation wherever and whenever you want.

But you know what, if by 40 I'm still single, I may have to have one of these myself just to shut people up.
So, anyone wanna be my bridesmaid?

Right on, Jane!!

Drama Queens

Please, keep them away from me before any bodily/verbal assault is leashed.

There are much more important things to think about besides making a HUGE fuss on those very very tiny itsy-bitsy little things. Unless if it's a life and death matter, or right and wrong, anything else is solvable granted that you have the patience to search for the solutions.

No one else can cure someones childishness or their obsession with looks, weight and popularity but themselves. It may not make them a bad person, no, but when their behaviour is affecting the people around them in a negative way then that won't make them a good person either, doesn't it?

No drama please. I'm exhausted. Life is hard enough...*sigh*

Gerammm

Tak paham betol la korang ni. Suka bebenor kacau orang lain sehari dua sebelum periksa. Masa ni baru lah kelam-kabut carik nota lah, jawapan lah, isi penting yg cikgu cakap kat dalam kelas lah...hisy....

Yang sibuk-sibuk sangat ni apa hal?? Apa yg aku ada korang ada jugak kan, buku sama cikgu sama kelas sama. Kalau korang tak tulis apa-apa masa kat dalam kelas tu masalah korang lah, ada aku kisah?? Nama je datang semua kelas on time, dok kat depan lagi tuh tapi satu haprak pun korang tak tulis/paham apa ke halnya. Aku yg dok kat belakang2 ni pun sempat menulis, korang dok kat depan2 tu telek muka cikgu sambil kira taik lalat kat muka depa kot. Kalau benda-benda ni korang tanya sebelum nak periksa boleh je aku layan, tapi ni masa aku nak ulangkaji korang makin serabutkan kepala hotak ni.

BODOH.

Hah, kan dah kena.

Sabor je lah.....

Miss Austen says...

"I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage.
If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person."

Politics Schmolitics

What in the world is happening back home?

Is everyone going nuts?!!

This is why I don't do politics.

Come on people, you can do better than this.

Peace y'all...
