Project Happiness: Day 11

Now, Day 11 hit some high and low keynotes.

The Highs:

- It was finally a weekend so I could catch up on sleep. 

- My Oratory article got a thumbs-up from the organizing committee.

The Lows:

- Mother dearest told me how Neema was encouraging her daughters to flirt their way to a man's heart, marry only for money and status, and once they've bagged him, keep a bf on the side.  I don't want to judge her.   She must have some pretty big reasons for going about her business this way.  But immorality hurts me and frustrates my mother simply because life keeps throwing those surprises at us and we keep noticing how people who are immoral get the best deal in this life only.  Oh, well.  I try to remind my mother that besides their 'planning', God has also written it in their destinies.  I only hope that God gives me what my heart truly and deeply desires. 

- Mother also surprised me with another person.  This person's attitude brought tears to my eyes and some pain to my chest.  It seems like this 26 year old lawyer has been bugged by his family to get married since he was 20, so he finally succumbed their pleadings.  Ofcourse he has no say in it, like alot of this generation's pure-breds.  He also sees no point in courting for their family will never agree to let them marry for love, as it is seen as 'shameful'.  So he asked his family to find him a tall wife.  He will go by the description of his sisters who chose her and he will neither see nor date her till their wedding day.  He will not end his relationship with this other woman that he supposedly loves since he feels no love for his future wife.  She is simply the woman who will bare his children for him.

How upsetting and disturbing to me.  When I first heard it, I thought to myself:  if all men are like this what chance do I have?  I then calmed down remembering that I do generalize and that every marriage has a different story behind it. 

- And finally I am starting to have my doubt about how genuine Sabah And Susu are towards me.  And they keep on questioning my love life.  It's good that I have thrown them off track for now.
