Obsessed with Will&Kate

Ok, so i willllll admit it -- i've been following the details of the Royal Wedding for months, and i am slightly obsessed... I think the British part of me takes over my body when a Will&Kate special comes on TV! Now, i can hardly wait: it's tomorrow morning!

Interesting fact about me ; I was born in England, on the exact date that Princess Diana and Charles wed in 1981. My mom got the official commemorative tea cup of the occasion and I cherish it. And by chance, my parents just got back from a trip to England tonight! And my thoughtful mom bought me the official Will&Kate commemorative mug to add to my collection!

So, now i'm set! Alarm is waking me up at 5am to watch the ceremony! Drinks tomorrow night with friends to celebrate the event! So, it's time to us watch The Royal Wedding, and realize that on any day now, there is a possibility of us meeting OUR Prince Charming ;)

My Mr.Big

Do you ever sit, and watch Sex and the City, and wonder if your ex could be YOUR Mr.Big?
ssshhhh don't tell anyone, but I do...

I'm sitting here watching the show, and realizing that my ex is soooooo much like Mr.Big (in the early years) and it's scary! ...emotionally unavailable, unwilling to commit... it goes on and on. Every episode i'm like “yes!yes!yes!” to Carrie's Big dilemas.



Honestly, it's the story of alot of the men we date; unavailable in all kinds of ways. Thankfully i don't fall in love with all of them, just the rare few...

We all believe in some kind of happily-ever-after... i just wonder if and when it'll happen.
I'm wondering if years down the line, when i'm with someone new (cross fingers!), and hopefully happy, if my “Mr.Big” will realize that I was the one who got away and want me back...

Big screwed Carrie over and over again... (litterally AND figuratively!!) and it finally only worked out between them, 6 seasons and 2 movies later!!! So, could it be? That this fate is possible for us girls too?

OR will we just meet someone and it'll be great from beginning to ...forever... no games for once?!
I guess only time will tell.

Breakup “Recovery” Kit

LOL i came across this and thought it was cute and funny.

It claims to give you “maximum relief  from soul-crushing, revenge-inspiring, self-pitying, and all-around unbearable heartache.” WHOA! That's a big claim!

I doubt it would be able to heal any real broken heart, but it's a nice gesture in the right direction...

Deadline Obsessed

Answer this question: Are you living for the present or for the future?

The topic between my girlfriends and I the past few months, is our self-imposed deadlines… with our 30th birthdays sneaking up on us, we're all feeling the pressure. Same pressure, but different goals: finding Mr Right, getting married, buying a house, getting pregnant, or jump-starting our careers. It seems like everyone nearing their 30s is deadline obsessed!

I don't know if this obsession is a product of our parents asking us what we want to be when we're grown-up, or if it's simply a natural occurrence and part of that “biological clock” . But either way, we have to change our minsets! I find we get so focused on the goal we want to achieve… like finding a guy who might potentially be a husband and father to our future children. Ahem… no comment...

But some of these self-made “goals” are simply NOT achievable with hard work and dedication. And they cause tons of undue stress and disappointment. We have to realize that some things are simply left to fate. They will happen when they happen, and we need to learn to be ok with that.

Stop living for your goals, and enjoy the moment! Go to St.Martin and live it up! lol ok yes i'm talking to myself -- i just booked a vaca in St.Martin!! YAY for me!

God knows we all have enough pressures from society, our families, and work; so why put extra pressure on ourselves?

Enjoy everyday! If you choose to ignore the consequences for a little while, don't let anyone judge you ;)

Read an article in Flare magazine that is on the same train of thought as me:
