Right now I have a massive headache that wont go away. Its like someone is pounding in my head. It makes me think of this drama I saw last night which pretty much sums up what I am feeling today although the meaning is totally different. The female character said that her head hurts like as if someone was building a house in her head. Like someone was pounding. It seem that that someone is going to stay for awhile in her head. Of course she was trying to be poetic about it when she actually meant was someone was occupying her mind, someone she cant stop thinking about. In my case, I hope whoever is making a house inside my head will run out of money and just leave! Or better I will just evict that person. Anything just for this headache to go away! Its annoying!!

PMS
I absolutely hate this time of the month when my hormones are going haywire! ARRRGGHHH!!! I know that PMS is an overused excuse to explain women's erratic behavior but try living a day in our shoes when its that time of the month. The irritating thing is, PMS varies sometimes each month and as I age. What used to be just pimples, abdominal pains, back pains and bad mood has now escalated to gastritis and worse migraines. Oh but the bad mood is still there and also add the mood swings. However, somehow, sometimes I think that the bad mood is not due to the hormones but it is related to the fact that we are not feeling so well that we tend to act cranky to mask the pain and the discomfort brought about by the sudden changes in our physical make-up.

Marriage
I just saw a clip of the new movie "Shall we dance?". Susan Sarandon's character asked why do people marry? Her companion answered it with the usual answers....Because of love, they want to spend the rest of their life with that someone etc..etc... Susan Sarandon said that "People get married to have a witness!" Her whole dialogue was longer that than but that line caught my attention. She continues to say that we want to let our significant other know that his or her life will not go unnoticed because the other will notice...Life will not go unwitnessed because the other will witness this.
I have no experience in such! As in zero, zip, a big fat 0! I have been a bridesmaid in a lot of weddings and I will be a one again in 2 weddings next year...A family friend is getting married January and a very dear, best friend is getting around April or May! (when nga ba?). On top of that I may attend another wedding come September for one of my cousins. Do I see myself getting married? Yes, actually! Is it going to happen for me? Only time will tell. I first have to have a boyfriend first before I start picking out a motif, the design of my dress, to what kind of a wedding I want to have down to the silverware and place settings!
Going back to that line! I found myself nodding in agreement. Although she did make it clear that marriage is not the only way to have a witness but we should all be witnesses to everyone's existence. It is not the same as living for other people! I guess what it is trying to say is that we, as human beings may admit it or not but we feel good when our very existence is validated by people that are close to us. We need some assurance that we are doing a great job living and breathing! We need some pat on the back that we are going in the right path and our life has some purpose. We need someone to share our sorrows and joys with!
Some people may overly romanticize marriage. But it is a known fact that it is not at all a bed of roses. To be sarcastic about it, it may be a bed of roses but the thorns have not been taken out! It is not all happiness and good times. It faces challenges, trials and obstacles. The thing is with marriage at least a person wont be going through it alone. It is a combined effort to weather through life with its ups and downs, highs and lows, through thick or thin! Those vows are not there for romance purposes but marriage does entail all that and if one is not amenable to any of it then maybe one has to think twice about getting married.
My parents have been married for 29 years now going 30! I know for a fact that it was not all good times. There have been bad times too and I guess either may have come to a point of giving up but they never did. I don't think it was a case of being together because of the children. I see the genuine love, care and affection that my parents have for each other. I think the best thing is my father sees my mother as an individual and not as an appendage. He sees her as Oyette, her own person, other than being his wife and the mother of his children. Mama sees Papa in the same way as well. Papa and Mama draw strength from each other. They find comfort in each other especially now that most of us children are out of the house. I know that my parents would wake up early, stay in bed and talk endlessly. Papa has to bring Mama to his business trips because he finds comfort in that. Plus, that he cant sleep alone. They have a mutual respect for each other's individuality, something that I count myself as lucky to having been able to witness that! Without knowing I have just totally related my parents marriage to Susan Sarandon's line. My parents marriage is not perfect nor is it ideal but it is something that I wish couples that I know would be blessed with including myself and my siblings when the time comes!
