To many many more

A light version of the cast for those who loved The Hunger Games.

As raved by everyone who watched the film before we did, it was worthy of every cent paid for. Beyond the female protagonist's foolhardy bravado, what that was particularly conspicuous was the injection of numerous political innuendos to re-create political situations currently being experienced by various parts of the world. Thought-provoking, raw and real.

And we're 49. :)

This past month has been spent adjusting to our new relationship and, to my pleasant surprise, it feels as though I'm starting from the beginning and falling in love all over again with the same charming guy. Every day brings about something to anticipate in the future and another thing to learn about each other, even after 4 years together. This new paradigm in life seems very much more exciting, and I just can't wait to delve right in. I'm well-fed, feeling loved and is loving with a generous heart right now.

Personality Test: www.colorquiz.com

I have no idea how some personality tests work, but I guess this test from www.colorquiz.com is pretty accurate. Give it a go if you're bored enough. The results may amaze you.

Your Existing Situation

"Outgoing but unpredictable and unstable. Likes things to go her way, otherwise she becomes agitated, indecisive, and fake in her activities."

Your Stress Sources

"Seeks freedom and the chance to do as she wishes; avoids restrictions or things that try to hold her back. Feels an intense amount of pressure being put on her and would like a chance to escape in order to do the things she wants and needs to do for himself. However, she lacks the determination and motivation to escape and pursue her own personal gains."

Your Restrained Characteristics

"Tries to participate and involve herself in things going on around him; however, avoids conflict and arguments to reduce stress and tension."

"Finds satisfaction in sexual activity, but is emotionally detached which prevents her from becoming too involved."

Current situations force her into compromise and placing her own hopes and desires on hold for the time being.

His arrogance causes her to take offense quickly. Only those closest to her know deep down she is sensitive and sentimental.

"He is able to find satisfaction through sexual activity, but can be restless and emotionally distant so she never really gets too involved with others."

Your Desired Objective

"Has a strong desire to contribute and influence others, but it can make her restless. she is driven by her desires and hopes. Enjoys a wide range of activities, but she may spread herself to thin taking on too much."

Your Actual Problem

"Feeling tension and stress brought on by situations which are out of her control, leaves her feeling helpless, anxious, and in adequate. In order to build her self-esteem back up, she looks to others for recognition, respect, and encouragement. This can be a problem since she tends to blame others for her shortcomings. Searching for solutions that are geared toward her needs and self-consciousness."

Your Actual Problem #2

"Feeling held back and restricted from moving forward, looking for a solution that will give her more freedom and less obstacles."

Learn and yield

This newly engaged couple has been... learning to cope with this indefinitely transient period between engagement and marriage. My workload ha finally picked up, while Jack's intray seemed to have procreated spontaneously while he was on leave. And it doesn't end there.

While I'm still coming to terms with that rock sitting on my finger (definitely not in a bad way), we've started to lay inroads for the future. Decisions will only get tougher, because it isn't just going to be the two of us when we make plans; every single twitch will have to be sounded off to the parents and whosoever's in the picture. As much as we are independent thinkers, we have to take into consideration whoever's within splash distance.

But til then. :)

And another chapter begins with 'Yes I do'

I haven't gotten used to this yet.  :)

It seemed like it was just yesterday that we were mugging in one of the Engineering tutorial rooms when he popped off his very own ring from his finger and asked me if we could be together. It was deja vu all over again, four years on, when he got onto one knee and popped THE question every princess is waiting for in her fairytale story.

I wish I could put into words fully the torrent of emotions I'm still experiencing, one week on, but words can only do so much. The rest has been kept in this beautiful place called memories.

It's time to herald a new chapter, a new beginning, a freshly etched slate in our lives.

Yes I do, forever and always.
