Arranged marriage

Will start of with some words of wisdom from the Internet.
"Don't promise when you are happy. Don't reply when you are angry. Don't decide when you are sad."
And now my words of wisdom.


The clock is ticking. The one on my hand + my biological one. I am not getting any younger, although at heart, it is a different story altogether. Very soon I have to get married. All those lovey-dovey couples around me are mocking me. Oh you're single? You're gonna let your parents choose..Good luck babe!

I'm paranoid about getting married. It's a guy thing I know. But hey, I'm a guy at heart remember? ;) Haven't married ever, yet, but the whole arranged marriage thing is getting to me. I'm dreading that show that we(the girl's side, {come to think of it, the guy's side too!}) have to put up, where the actors on one part of the stage all have to act like the other side has descended from heaven. 


Everything from your clothes to how your house looks. Your make up. No make up(this includes the blushing, smiling, looking down) = she was forced to seeing the guy.
Make-up = Oh she's so vain.
Simple clothes= she doesn't really care about the outcome of this show.
Dolled up= She's so modern. Reject!
The girl's confident= she'd be a dominating daughter in law. 
Diffident= guy won't like it. The girl wouldn't like it either.

Better qualified guy= more dowry. (OMG that's a whole other story)
Less qualified=you're not happy.
You mess up one bit, and your Gods leave. Probably your soul-mate too. 



And then there's the next show.

This and that

I just learned that the term used for the Black people I was talking about previously is Ghetto. And all the babes straighten their hair because it is more manageable. D-uh!
By the way, if you notice, it's just the guys who smell weird..
And that I should have renamed the post to Black instead of Colors :)) since I wasn't really talking about other 'colors'.
There. Did that make you happy? :)

While we're talkin about colors, I have a confession to make: my sister is omnipresent. I see her in the lift, On the road and she has, like, a billion look-alikes. My parents haven't told her yet that she's adopted.

I have a new interest to learn Spanish. Visit a few places in Central America: Panama looks beautiful. So does Honduras.
I wish I could just take a backpack and go. But I've heard it's a dangerous city from a guy- a lazy Latino -Is that being racist too? Or just stereotyping the men? What's the difference between stereotyping and being a racist by the way?


We all feel that our older generations had everything easy, right? Be it in their jobs/ education / family. But the grass always seems greener on the other side. A job in a bank is as bad as IT or say being a doctor. 
I'm already feeling the job pressure, and it's barely been two months! On the flip side, it's interesting plus I'm learning so much..


I barely have sensation left on my fingertips. I'm getting there, Kelly valleau. Oh my God, you should listen to him play! He is my new guru-The old one was Bryan Adams..
