There's right time for everything

1) I went to one of my friends' house and met her mom for the first time. The first thing she said after "hi" was ... "You girls need to stop hanging out with each other. Go out and meet some GUYS!"
I responded nicely, "Not interested :) "

2) My high school friend's younger (yes, younger) sister is getting married this Saturday. I will be there to watch her walk down the aisle. She's born in 1990. She's only one year older than Phillip.
Beside her, I know so many young married couples (1 younger, 3 one year older) who got married within past 2 years...

3) My mom emphasizes that the peak time of woman (24-26) is fast approaching for me. She's banking on Chicago that I might (may) find someone there.
Mom confessed to me that she's jealous of her friend because her friend's daughter is in good relationship with a good guy... and her friend always talk about her daughter.

I don't know if it is Korean culture or just people around me (wait, they are Korean), but there's already so much pressure on me to find boyfriend. People that I meet for the first time ask me about my (non-existant) dating relationships. It seems like people evaluate your worth according to your dating status. Why is that? Does "going out (of your way) to meet new people" really worth your time? By the way, I don't really understand what people mean by "going out". Bars? Clubs? Where else in the world do you go out to meet guys other than through your mutual friends? And from my and others' experiences, those places do not result in good relatioships, or even friendships. So whenever someone tells me to go out, I ask them to give me specific examples. Then 99% of times, they say "...you know........" Hmm, sorry, I don't.

I believe there's right time for everything. Right now, I enjoy my singlehood. I do not want namja chingoo. That means I am not ready for a relationship. I get sad whenever my girlfriends, especially believers, express their desperation to be in relationship. God knows what He's doing. There must be a good reason why He's keeping you single right now.

My prayer is that I would really know and enojoy God before anything. I want to be fully content in Him so that His love in me could overflow to others. I pray that my next relationship would be the lasting one, the triangular one (me, him & God). Y'all know what I mean????? That's worth waiting for :)




Change of subject:

Summer is here. Sun's scorching down and I get sweaty. Oh summer is my least favorite season. Yes California beach is awesome but that's pretty much it. I don't like summer...
My family washes Ronnie (maltese) once a week, because he's 100% white, and we can totally tell when he gets little bit dirty. HOWEVER, there's no point of washing him these days. There's no shade in our backyard, so he digs into dirt to avoid heat. He gets brown and freakin dirty/smelly in one day. I can't hug him because of that :(
