The 10 March 2007 was an important day for them. Everyone knew it. But it was also an important day for me. It was the day when I realise how "getting married" is a very normal thing to do. Though another good friend of mine wrote that it’s a sure path to an ordinary life - something I’m afraid of - I now believe marriage is a venture with its own great challenges, great opportunites for a life in its fullness.

In marriage - in an exclusive relationship - one must learn to sacrifice, learn to understand than to be understood, learn to give than just to take. Lots of character building lesson are available in abundance when one commits one’s life to an exclusive relationship. Unfortunately, it’s one of a couple of things I’ve always tried to avoid. Why? Because I think that would obstruct me off my prearranged path toward a "life in its fullness" (or at least, my myopic version of it).

So, does that mean I will try better to find a girlfriend these days? I don’t think so. Somehow, I still think there’s much things I need to do, I need to pursue, with the limited capabilities that I have and having a girlfriend in these days would just … well, obstruct it. Maybe next year.
