Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue and a Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe.

Ever heard or followed this custom? I did, on my wedding day.

Something old > symbolizes continuity. I worn my old ring too, it was my husband’s birthday gift to me on our first year. But I think most of the brides wear their grandmother’s gown or an antique piece of jewelery.

Something new > represents good luck and success and the bride’s hope for a bright future in her new married life. Gown is often chosen as something new but old folks say that it could also be the flower arrangements or wedding rings. I had a brand new wedding gown on that big day.

Something borrowed > is to represent to the bride that friends and family will be there for her on the special day and in the future when help is needed. I think I missed this! I didn’t have anything borrowed.

It doesn’t matter how many, but there has to be someone to reciprocate your love.

No one is born to live alone. Everyone is destined to be with someone. Someone you could rely on in times of needs. Someone you could lean on in times of troubles. Someone who could make you laugh when you feel sad. Someone who is always there for you. It doesn’t matter who, but there has to be someone…

I knew from the beginning, I wasn’t born to be alone. I am destined to be with someone. And another one. Who knows there will be another one or two or three in the future… But what makes me look forward to opening my eyes everyday is “my family”. The only thing I could call my own. I don’t need ownership documents and lawyer to make everything legal. I only need them and their love - just the three of us to make an ideal home work.

Meant to be?

One of the few topics that would make my eyebrow raise is Infidelity. That’s for sure…. Thoughts would definitely run around my mind once this topic is brought up in a group. With men around especially, I get really annoyed sometimes with their never dying lines “Lalaki lang ako”. So what if you’re a man? Does it allow you to do such act when you know you are committed to someone else already?

Yesterday, I got tons of text and quotes all about mother’s day. My CP inbox was full. But there was one message that really touched my heart, which I found in my Friendster inbox this morning…

I love you more…. for being the mother of my child. Happy Mother’s Day. Forever yours… Dada

Need I say more????

I’m touched. No words were coming out except

Three days ago, I got this text message:

Okay lang kami ng mga anak ko. Tigilan mo ng magtext sa asawa ko, di pa kami hiwalay. Huwag mo na syang guguluhin, okay?

I was like huh? Who are you? I replied such, wondering maybe I really know this person or it was just a wrong message sent to my phone.

But then she replied in a way that really made me upset. I told her instead:

I am not a mistress. And if ever I would have another man in my life, I won’t go for over a 50 year old man. I pity your husband, he doesn’t know what you’re doing…. I think you two should sit down and discuss your problems.

While I was writing this post, I was also trying to figure out the new look and format of WordPress 2.5.1. Amore has just upgraded it to its latest version… Whoa!!! It’s really different, far different from the old one. Maybe later this afternoon, I will activate my plugins. For now I’ll follow Amore’s advise to work with the new WP without having my plugins activated and see how it goes.

Anyway, while I was browsing this morning, I chanced upon Park West Gallery and found nice paintings that suit my taste. I really wish I could buy at least one of those.
