things out of the pensieve

several fragments have been going through my mind in the basis of singleness.. and so far, evaluating my current state, i'm seriously not yet ready for a relationship.. hahaha...

you know you're lucky that you're single when:
a. you hear whining kids
b. you hear screaming babies
c. you hear whining parents on skyrocketing tuitions
d. you hear friends' ramblings on insensitive guys
e. you hear friends' ramblings on parents' nosyness on relationships
f. you see girls constantly asking partners if what they are wearing is ok
g. you see girls in dismay on what to get their partners
h. you see hearts constantly broken
i. you don't have to hear anyone snore at night (and have a goodnight's rest!)
j. you don't have in-laws to please.
k. you don't have to care what the other thinks of you!! ^^
l. a whole lot others!!

i'm super thankful for being single ^^
if you want more depressing marriage issues... you could see it here.. and here..

some satirical, nonsensical logic that goes with this topic (hot from the mail)

If your father is a poor man,
it is your fate but,
if your father-in-law is a poor man,
it's your stupidity.

Success is a relative term.
It brings so many relatives.

** does that correlate with the "love is blind" thingy?

Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
** King Solomon's case might be an exaggeration of this.. haha

Every man should marry.
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.
** go ahead and shoot yourself if you want a death penalty.. ^^

The wise never marry.
and when they marry they become otherwise.
** hahah!! this is the best one!!!

and some more funny, but sometimes true ethnic practice (hot from the mailbox too!)
