One of my goals this year is to treat myself once in a while or every month to good food that I've been wanting to eat. And since I was craving chicken wings, I asked my friends if they want to go pigging out with me so that I won't be alone to go there. And because they also wanted to eat chicken wings, we went to the Micro Burger Cafe that we once ate at before located in the city.
We've been planning to go there and last April 05, we finally got to enjoy the delicious Unli chicken wings that we've been craving for weeks already.
And these are the 2 guy friends who were with me at that time. (Exposed kayo ngayon. 😂) The other guy is the one who invited me to join this blogging platform almost 2 years ago (September 2020) while the other one is the extroverted type of person in our Research group.
Anyway, in this article, I'm just going to share with you one of the topics we got to talk about while eating.
It all started when Mike asked me about not having a boyfriend at all. He asked in Iloco language, "So you haven't had any boyfriend yet?" And I just simply answered, "Yes, single since birth." Then he continued asking, "Why?" And I just barely gave a vague and short response, "Because I don't need a boyfriend." Then Mark commented, "She's an independent woman." Then we just continued eating and made nonsense jokes and teasing.
"I don't need a boyfriend."
That's what I usually say whenever I am asked if I have a boyfriend or why am I still single. Although it's just a short and simple answer, I just really don't need a boyfriend at the moment, or am I looking for one because I have other priorities in life and having a love life is not one of them. I still have a lot of dreams and goals that I want to achieve and having a beau is just going to be a distraction for me in focusing on my goals. I want to have a stable career first before pursuing being in a relationship.
Although sometimes, I feel like I'm just really single by chance and not by choice. (Paano kasi, laging ghosted. 👻😂) And there are also times when I would daydream of having a partner, especially when I am watching Korean dramas. But reality would always snatch me back and make me realize that I don't want to lose the kind of freedom that I am enjoying while I'm still single.
One time, I was asked about when do I see myself having a boyfriend?
When I was still in Senior High School, I thought that it will be okay to have a boyfriend when I had already entered college. But being in college, others would often advise that it's better to focus on our studies first before engaging in a relationship because it will be easier to find the one when you are already a professional. But now that I'm just a few months away before I get my college degree, I still don't see myself having a boyfriend yet, because when I'm already out there in the real world, just like what I've said, my focus would just be in having a stable career and accomplishing my goals and dreams in life. So my ideal age for getting married at 26 to 28 is really just a fantasy and not reality. But who knows if I get to find the one in 2 years and get married after. Lols!
So what are the characteristics I look for in a man, you might ask?
Actually, it's just really simple. I just want someone who has goals in life. Someone who knows what he wants and is determined to get it. Someone passionate about pursuing his dreams. Meanwhile, I also like someone who wants to lead his own life and doesn't let others dictate what to do with his life. Basically, I'm looking for the real-life version of Hong Du Sik (Hong Banjang) from Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. 😂
I don't know what I'm blabbering here again. I just want to express my thoughts and sentiments about being single.
Anyway, who needs a boyfriend when you can have countless husbands from the Korean Drama land, right? 👻😂
maganda nga yan sis at least hindi ka napipilitan pumasok sa isang relasyon dahil wala kang choice or bored ka lang or pine pressure ka nila. Pero habng wala pa, enjoy mo muna pagiging single at mamimiss mo din yan.
