We've been talking about marriage and getting married. That'll be me and a few friends. And we were all agreeing to the point that getting married may not be a big deal for some but it is. You do get married only once in your lifetime and it would not be a piece of cake.

Sure you had been binded legally but what would happen to you and your hubby after? Maybe it would be best if you were both already ready to take on whatever will happen to you once you get married. But if you were going to get married just for the sake of getting married, then I think it should not be done.

When I was in college, somebody asked me to marry him. I looked at him as if he were joking for I thought he was (or maybe he was trying to be romantic or something). I did not say yes nor did I say no. Sure I loved that guy (that time) but getting into the whole marriage deal was not in my plans. Not even now.

Maybe I would be getting married if I have found the guy who would take me for what I am and who would also take my son and accept him as his own. I would not want just a guy who would be able to accept me and not my son. As I've told my friends, I come as a package deal and you should take it. Or leave it. That's it.

Also I may be looking for a guy who would be able to support me and my son. I would want one who would allow me to still work. And I would want somebody who is also hardworking. Honestly, I think I would go for someone who has a stable job which pays him handsomely to support us through each day that comes. After all, I've heard stories of people who've been married who have told me that "love flies out the window when you have nothing to eat anymore".

I also honestly think that I want somebody who has got a house already. I mean, I would not want to live with his parents nor would I want to live with mine when we're already married. And I would not want to rely on his parents nor mine when I have already tied the knot. As my grandfather said, getting married means that you are ready for the responsibilities that come with it, you already have your own job that would be able to support a family, and that you would not have to rely on other people for your finances. Good thing, my grandfather has such good sense that he did not tell my parents to let me get married when I got pregnant. I honestly thank him or else I would be stuck with a guy who hasn't got a job, who doesn't recognize his own son, and who does not know what to do with his life.

So now I still don't think I'm marriage material. Well, that was what I was thinking for 2007. I wonder if I'll be having the same thoughts for 2008. Well maybe that may change when I've already met my husband material guy. Wish me luck. Teehee!
