Uh-oh Moment

In the movie Alfie, Jude Law talked about the uh-oh moment. It's basically an incident when you realise that the girl/man of your dreams might not be THE ONE.

I had an uh-oh moment.

Who with?

German Guy.

Seeing him unshaven and unclean sent warning bells to my ears at an alarming level.

His pants was torn on the knee and it wasn't a cool, rugged look. It was more of I'm-So-Poor-I-Can't-Afford-To-Buy-Jeans look. I know he's not poor, so why oh why is he acting like one??

His shirt was wrinkled. Baka-Habulin-Ka-Ng-Plansta wrinkled.

His hair was unwashed. You could tell from the grease. Ugh.

You could barely see his jaw from the beard and moustache. Not a five o'clock shave B is raving about. More like Jack Nicholson in Anger Management.

It was a total nightmare. It's like seeing the love of your life die.

Well, that's what I felt. Now I can't like him anymore. No matter how clean he'll look in the future now, I'll always picture him like one of the contestants of Survivor.

I guess I'm still a fan of clean, shaven and boy-next-dooresque kind of guys.

Engagement Party, anyone?

Muay Boy - Mark, Half Aussie, half Thai. Went out a couple of dates with last year. Narrowly cheated death during the Tsunami disaster in Thailand.

THAT Mark. The Mark. The ever gentleman. I'll-Give-You-Space-For-As-Long-As-You-Need-It Mark. The I-Just-Want-To-Know-The-Deal-Between-Us-Before-I-Go-To-Thailand Mark.

Yep, that Mark.

Is. Engaged.

Mark. Is. Engaged.

And I'm invited to his Engagement Party.

He met his fiance in Thailand. Apparently fell in love.

"That's why he hasn't been in contact with us." J fumed.

That was apparently the reason why he was keeping his distance to us. He didn't want to deal with the questions. He didn't want to "rub it on my nose" that he wasn't able to wait.

I wasn't expecting for him to wait.

I always thought he'll be this typical Aussie guy who would not be ready for a long-term relationship.

Obviously I was wrong. He's keen to get married. He's keen to marry a domesticated wife.

Thankfully, I don't fit the desrciption.

I'm so not domesticated.

Hell, I can't even make my own bed much more take care of another human being.

So I went and told Mum. She was surprised. Who wouldn't be?

She asked me when I plan to get married.

"Probably when I'm in my late twenties."

"Naku, ilan taon na ko pag nag-anak ka kung magpapakasal ka ng 28?"

"Call me selfish but I want to do things for myself first before getting tied down."

"Naisip ko lang kung ikaw naging girlfriend ni Mark, baka ikaw ang ikakasal ngayon at baka next year may apo nako."

Shivers.

Isn't that asking a wee bit too much?

Mark approached me for a favour.

If it'll be alright with me to take his fiance out for drinks when she gets here from Thailand.

"Ha? What?" Imagine me with mouth hanging open and trying not to cry by trying to laugh.

"Yeah, if it's alright with you. Cos she doesn't really know anyone here and it'll be best if at least she'll have a few friends at our engagement party on Saturday. It's her engagement party too."

I'm beginning to hate engagement parties.

J agreed for me. She promised Mark we'll take the girl out for drinks and shoot the breeze for a little while then drop her off at his place.

"Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."

"Great, I'll call you to give you the money for your night out."

I was flabergasted. What the fuck?

"Just had a devious thought. We'll get her to cheat on Mark. We'll hook her up with guys when we go out."

"J, you're an idiot."

"Do you want Mark or not? He's too young. They'll divorce in six months, I tell you."

"I don't want Mark. I don't want to have anything to do with this. It's ridiculous. Can you just go without me?"

"Then Mark'll think you're bitter. But you're not, are you?"

"No, I just can't see why he has to ask me. It's like rubbing it on my nose."

" Because you're his friend. All his mates are blokes. We are the only two girls he's close with. At least do that for him."

"Fine, I'll go. But if she's thin, I'm outta there."

Picking her up at Mark's place, I saw that she was thin.

But I still have the stupid smile on my face. Because I'm still prettier.

I'd love to hate her but she was actually nice. She couldn't speak english that well but we still got along.

J was being a bitch telling her "I'll eat you for breakfast" with an Aussie slang while smiling at her so she thought J was actually complementing her.

It looked fun. But I couldn't do it. Sometimes I'm too nice for my own good.

Darn conscience.

Hello Moto

Finally gave up Liggy for adoption. I love him but his signal is just annoying. Especially at uni so I decided to stick with Nokie til I get me a new baby.

Everyone, welcome Moto.
