ADA APA DENGAN CINTA?

I'm going to watch an Indonesian movie today with my sister.  I was supposed to hang out with Surita, but she has to work today.  It's been a while since we last met.

I have been busy the whole week!  Working for 2 bosses is no joke.  Especially when both of them want things to be done fast.  It's not a major complain on my part.  I like the work I'm doing now.  It makes me feel v. important... hehe.  And because I was busy, I could not update my blog as often as I want to. *sigh*  That is why I came back to work today, although it is not my working Saturday week.  I just need to sort out my cyber life ;-)  My
home computer? My modem kaput-ted and the vendor hasn't send me my new modem yet.  Come to think of it, its been a month since I sent the thing over to the shop.  I have to start calling them next Monday.

My sister wants to get married.  It's a good thing, I know, but how do I explain to her the "not-so-glamorous" part of it?  She wanted to get married to a guy who doesn't have a fixed income.  Not that I want her to be choosy, but she has to know the truth.  All those crap about love is more important, is just a big BS.  Love will not put food on the table, love will not buy you an apartment or car, and most important, love will not buy you your baby diapers.  I'm not even sure if she really loves the guy.  He proposed and she gleefully accept.  Maybe because she went to our nephew's engagement party, that makes her wants to get married as well.  Love helps, but it's not the only thing that a couple should bring in a marriage.  I love my husband v. much.  But we have our fair share of problems too.  It's not all roses and peaches in our marriage.  And the bond that we have, as a friend, partner and lover, helps a lot I think.  Coz there were many a time when I feel like I want out.

Now she kind of dig her own grave, too.  She bypassed my father and go straight to our relatives for blessings instead.  I'm not sure why she did that.  She haven't spoken to me about it.  From what I heard, she claims that my dad is always angry at her and it is so impossible to talk to.  She haven't tried, how would she know?  So, for the whole of this week, I've become my dad's ear, listening to his woe.  I think he's hurt.  He can be strict and have a set of beliefs about boyfriends.  But if you come clean, he'll listen.  He's just a great worrier.  He worries all the time, especially after my mom passed away.  I hope I can talk some sense into her.  :-/

Wish me luck!
