I’ve been listening to Sara Bareilles constantly these past few days.

It’s not that I’ve given up on rock. That’s not even a possibility at all — my children will be air guitar-ing to Enter Sandman before they can walk.

It’s just that I’m not exactly in the mood to rebel right now, like I don’t have any strength left. My general aura right now is reeking with tiredness. I’m just tired. Completely, utterly tired. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that I had no choice but to give in to three days of near complete bed rest. I had no choice; just thinking made my head hurt.

The problem, though, is that tiredness is a general symptom of old age. I’m 25. Good Lord.

My mom, in particular, repeatedly reminds of this old age problem. Everyday she takes a look at me, asks me how old I am and shakes her head. “You should me married” is still ringing repeatedly in my ears.

I’ve learned, though, that saying I’m allergic to men is open to various scandalous interpretations. I know this from experience, having survived a mountain of accusations against my “gender preferences”. Once and for all, I am not interested in women.

I want to say I’m not interested in human beings in general, but that’s open to even worse interpretations.

    My mom has yet to ask me outright kung kelan ako mag-aasawa… although she has asked my sister if she thinks I’ll ever get married. :p I guess I’m rather picky, kaya wala pa akong nagugustuhang lalake wehehe.

    Hehe. Well that’s how it goes. You have to be careful how you say it, though. Mamaya sabihin wala ka pang nagustuhang lalake pero babae meron hehehe.
