Dear Majoy,


I remember feeling the fear just thinking that I may one day find myself without someone who will be there with me for life. Becoming single forever. Living alone. On my own. The fear, as I now analyzed was coming from wrong perceptions, and my own concept of single blessedness.

I was 26 when I got married.

Now, it had been 9 years! And guess what? 

I am actually looking back and asking myself.. what if I..., what if I hadn’t found the man I would marry, what if I am still single? and am actually excited on the what -ifs! haha. 

Coming here, seeing all the possibilities, looking outside the box, Majoy, there is really soooo much more!

Not that I am wanting to be single again. 

OK, for a day or two, would really love to be.. hehe see, no kids, no kiddy hubby too! hehe just plain old me spending my time just for me.. kinda all ME, ME, ME!

Had I not married at 26, I know I would be going through the same way you are going through now.. but then again, as you said, in a way you were surprisingly happy of the possibilities.. single and open to see what’s ahead.

I remember, I was once told, the only way for me to see him is for me to ask myself what I really want my man to be.. 3 things.. then, BE that. We attract our thoughts. What we think, we create.

It may take time, but when we become who we really are, we will begin to do what we love to do, and then we will have our heart’s desire.

Believe it.

In the mean time my friend, smile, you have the world in your hands!:)

    same here .i was thinking what would I be without a husband .I got married at age 31, divorced at age 33 and got married again at age 37. I never dreamed of growing old alone, so for sure, i will keep marrying again and again just in case.

    spending time with oneself is very beautiful. i've always liked it because it makes me connect with myself more. there's just something about being alone that makes me happy, but it makes me long for people i love as well. :)

    Sometimes things are better left untouched or unaltered. But since we got the concept of mutual existence, being married can be a bliss where you don't entertain an ounce of being alone for even just a split of a second.

    Great thoughts here!

    Aww. Sometimes I feel that way, I want to be with myself. Before it was just me, hanging out with friends, buying girly stuff. Reminiscing the old days huh.
    But I'm not married yet! I have a baby boy who's going 2 years old and his dad with me.
    I wonder how will I look like when I get married? Hehe :)
    Thanks for this inspirational post. :)

    Yes I have the world in my hands! ;) Wow, you were worrying being a alone at a very young age, funny coz since HIgh school I always have a boyfriend till my working days in Makati. Career lead me to this kind of lifestyle i have now and now I'm 35 and still single and still feels like I'm 25 and not even rushing to settle down yet. I still want to enjoy life being single and financially independent and having a boyfriend! Haha ;))

    I think it's important that people feel already complete before getting marriage. We don't need marriage to feel complete. We are already complete :)

    Marriage is there to further enhance our existence, not to complete our existence.

    as long as you live each day focused on God's promise of life everlasting, then everything here on earth becomes non-essential, including marriage ;)

    Reading the first few lines I really wanted to see your husband's expression about you wanting to be single again (for only a day or two, of course.lelz).

    I guess, I have to enjoy life the way most single (and people who would want to be single again) should. Hehehe

    Spending time for one self is just FINE...
    Just fine to think but maybe difficult to do.
    I am married for almost seventeen years and
    I want to be alone with myself sometimes...
    but knowing that I have my husband who's
    so dependable and my kids who bring me joy
    beyond compare... i preferred to be around them
    the rest of my life.

    I could have imagine what's life would be if I'm still single. Probably dating 2 or 3 women perhaps. But there would come a time no matter how fulfilled you are in life, you desire to spend the rest of your life with someone, raise your own family and grow old together. ^_^

    I totally can relate to this post right now.
    and I agree with "we attract our thoughts. What we think, we create"
    I believe in the law of attraction. thanks for sharing this :)

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Overspeeding!!!

credit While driving, a police car passed me by, turned around and followed me. I slowed down.  credit It gave a warning for me to stop. I did.  I was running a lot of excuses in my mind but decided to put it all aside. I prayed instead - Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. A police women came. "Hi!" I said, "Hello!" "Ok", she said, "I pulled you over, because you were running at 60mph in a 45 lane". I said "I'm sorry". She said "Now do you have driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes". There was a pause (Oh, I guess, this was the time when I should have given her everything already), she repeated, "So, you do have your driver's license, registration and insurance?" I said, "Yes", and took out my driver's license.  She took it, and said, "so you've never been stopped before?" I said, ...

Games in our Minds

Since daddy worked abroad we were blessed with high technology toys and gadgets growing up. I just remembered because every time I would drive and need to cross roads, my mind would automatically switch to game mode! Lol! You see, I used to love this Chicken Crossing The Road Game using ATARI then. I would control the chicken's movement so it wouldn't get killed while crossing, the chicken needs to walk past 4 lanes to get a score -mmm, to get the worm at the other side!  credit So,  just to make a connection, it could be that when we are constantly faced with the same challenges everyday, even via online games, we also subconsciously get to actualize it. It no longer matters if it's just a game or the real thing, we react the same to it! The point is REPETITION, VISUALIZATION and MIND CONDITIONING may actually work especially in achieving our goals or achieving our dreams. What do you really want? If, say, we really want to become a millionaire... then we may set up situat...
