The gift of being single
By Mariel Calalo
YOU contributor








TOO often people want what they want, or think
they want at the moment, which is
usually "happiness" right now. The irony of their
impatience is that only by learning to wait, and by
willingness to accept the bad with the good do we
usually attain those things that are truly worthwhile.
I have a blessing which is sometimes seen as a
curse. I am blessed with the gift of being single.

For most of us twentysomething young
professionals, it seems the world has already
come up with its own set of expectations on how
we should live life. The world expects us to finish
school in our early twenties, get a job, find the love
of our lives by the time we reach our mid-twenties,
marry and have kids. But the thing is, not everyone
sees their dreams come true in the same way. In
this article, I shall try to endeavor to change the
way the world looks at being single.

The Art of Contentment. For most of us, being
single will be more of a phase than a final
destination. This is the best place to practice the
art of contentment. Someday, I'm sure most of us
will fall in love and get married. But the thing is,
love will always be tested. Someone more
handsome, more charming, richer, funnier,
sweeter would come along. If you have not
practiced the art of contentment as a single
person, chances are you would be tempted to
want that and not cherish your chosen one.
Practicing the Art of Contentment as a single
person means that you take what life gives you,
good or bad, you're willing to see it through. It
means you don't walk away every time things get
tough because it builds in you patience,
perseverance, understanding and a hundred
different virtues that people in a hurry will never
have. Being single means you would find how it
feels to be alone thus, allowing you to cherish
every moment you spend with your chosen one.
The art of contentment means you wouldn't mind if
life had to make you wait for so long to find the
love of your life, because you know that the
waiting
would only make the finding much sweeter.

A Time to Know Yourself Better. Being single is a
time of your life when you can get to know yourself
better. You can pursue different interests and
passions without having to ask another person's
approval. It is a phase when you can keep focus
on other things, discover your potentials and
talents, and see yourself become more than what
you expect to be. Allow yourself to surprise you.
Stop wasting precious energy trying to figure out
why you're still romantically unattached. It's all in
the mind. Take the time to go see your friends,
spend time with your family, do charity work and
you will realize that you are not, and never for one
moment, was alone. Try to get to know yourself
first before you try to get to know other people. To
be truly loved means to be known and accepted
for who you are. How do you expect other people
to know you and to love you, when you don't know
who and what you really are?

A Choice between Good and Best. Sometimes
the dilemmas we face are not between what is
absolutely bad and absolutely good. Sometimes,
it's between good and best. Treat this stage of
your life as a phase to evaluate who is good for
you and who is best for you. Sometimes, you
won't
hear music, or feel magic to know who's best for
you. The heart just knows and it doesn't need any
romantically charged scenario to decide on the
matter. Trust in your heart, and trust that time will
eventually lead you to, not to the perfect partner,
but to the most suitable partner for you. Being
single is a phase of life that we need to be
thankful
for, because being single means our hearts have
yet to choose the best one for us.

Almost a Non-committal. Jane Austen once wrote,
that it is a truth universally acknowledged that a
single man (or in our times a woman), in
possession of a good fortune is in search of a
spouse (just to be politically correct). Well, that
was what the old school wanted us to believe in.
Married life is a path most of us would take,
however, it is not the only path there is. Relieve
yourself of the pressure and stop making every
single, straight guy friend a prospect. You have no
business "entrapping" them and asking (which is
more like "putting a gun in the head") them of their
exclusive attention, if you're not ready for
commitment yourself. Sometimes, when you
spend too much time trying to find a boyfriend, you
normally end us marrying the first loser who
comes
to your door.

Take your time, the world will wait. Being married
doesn't guarantee that it will make your life happy.
It doesn't guarantee anything at all. Sometimes, it
only brings two miserable people together only to
make their life even more miserable. Without the
right intention, the emotional maturity, financial
security and of course, unwavering love, you're
better off unattached.

Living Life. Don't put your life on hold for Mr. Right
but don't let it waste away with Mr. Wrong. Life is
about things that you do and happen to you
everyday. It's not about the things that could have
happened but never did, or things that you think
would happen in the future. Live life now. Live it to
the fullest and stop beating yourself up, trying to
be
perfect on a Saturday night date. Allow life to
surprise you with it's most wonderful blessings.

this is nice.. hehe... ANG BUHAY SINGLE Bakit ba tuwing may "get2geder" ang mga tao, mapa-family reunion man or simpleng barkada gimik, ang unang tanong sayo ay "May boyfriend ka ba?" at bago ka pa maka-sagot ay maririnig mo naman ang "Bakett walaaaaaa??!" Hayyy, kelangan ba talagang may bitbit kang boylet sa mga occasions na ito? Pano kung wala talaga? Alanganamang maki-usap pa ako sa mga "close" guy friends ko para mag-panggap na "kami"?! Di naman ata tama yun, dee-bah? How I wish na sana mas maintindihan ng mga tao na sa mga panahon ngayon ay "accepted" na sa society na MEDYO made- delay ang pag-iisang dibdib ng mga kababaihan.. especially girls like me who want to get into so many things all at the same time. I also wish that people would understand that OKAY LANG AKO and the rest of THE SAMAHANG MALAMIG ANG PASKO... Valentines day.. Birthday..etc. I mean, we do get lonely once in a while.. naiingit din dun sa may mga LOVELIFE... paminsan-minsan? kung minsan naman ay nagmumuni sa mga past kilig moments? but these lonely moments do not and will not make our "world" stop... Isipin nyo nalang, na kung wala kaming mga single friends nyo, eh di wala kayong paghihingaan ng sama ng loob tuwing nag-aaway kayo ng boylet or girlet nyo? wala rin kayong "instant date" kung sakaling nangailangan kayo?... wala rin kayong mahihila sa mall para maghanap ng magandang regalo for your better-half pag xmas... o kaya pag bday nya? at ang pinaka-mahalaga sa lahat, wala kayong KAKAMPI if things between you and your labidabs don't work out. Marami naman sa aming mga singles ay nakaranas na rin na "ma-in-love".. yun nga lang, obvious ba?????????? it all didn't work out! Pero di naman kami "bitter" o galit sa mundo? and totoo nga nyan eh mas lumalalim ang kahulugan ng "love" para sa min. When you're all by yourself, there's more time to reflect and think of what you really want in life. Mas naiisip mo kung ano ba talaga ang makakapagbigay ng tunay na ligaya sayo... at mas naiisip mo kung pano matutupad ang lahat ng mga pangarap mo. And while reflecting, we also get to imagine that we will, one day.... end up with someone who will share those dreams with us. Di naman sa nang-iinggit ako pero masaya rin ang buhay naming mga single... Biruin mo we can go out with anybody, anytime..that is. We can get into all kinds of things.. like go to the gym regularly.. or get into all kinds of sports... or any "Self-enhancement" programs, etc... Mejo tipid din ang buhay single kasi la naman kaming po-problemahin tuwing Valentines day or Christmas? o diba ang saya? Sa palagay ko naman ay lahat tayo ay may karapatang sumaya ke single man o attached ka. I guess may kanya-kanya lang tayong panahong lumigaya at Diyos lamang ang makapagsasabi... kung kelan nga dadating and oras na yon.. So, para sa mga kasalukuyang "ATTACHED", I wish you all the luck and happiness. Should there be any problems, don't forget that your SINGLE friends are always here for you!!!!! Sa mga "bagong SINGLES" naman, wag nang magmukmok! Enjoy life.... enjoy the single life!!! There are a lot of things that you will still discover. At tandaan mo, DI KA NAG-IISA!!! madami-dami tayo...hehehehe :) At dun naman sa kapwa kong mga SINGLES? I hope that we are one in believing that we long for someone NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO BE HAPPY but we long for someone because we want to share our happiness with that special person for the rest of our lives....

 

hay.. these are the times when i just wanna let it all out.. last Sunday.. i was overwhelmed.. i dont now i had mixed feelings..

lateley i have been preoccupied by my work and school that litle did i notice that i was drifting away from God.. i guess i realized it when i was already far enough... and i really didnt like the feeling... i had taken for granted all the things He had given me and yet He remained faithful.. (and i was not) He had ontinued to provide for my family, gave me hope in keeping my job and just by making me feel that no matter what happens.. He has every best thing in life stored for me... all because He loves me... God's grace sometimes makes me feel small, so unworthy of all his blessings and love... yet i realized why... inspite of me being unfaithful, His love has remained..only God's love is immeasurable... and i thank Him for calling me back.... for reminding me that i. her precious daughter is important to her and though  i think im not worthy... He wants me.. and He wants to keep me forever... aint God so wonderful...

                                       Im coming back to the heart of worship..when its all about you..

                                       Its all about you Jesus...

 

            I just really want to thank Him for everythn...and now my nly prayer is that for me to really live my life according to His will...

            READ: MARES!!!!

             cleng...your not alone... God loves you...and me... and im just happy for you...;p miss you..

             yang... hey you need to update me bout stripe..hehe and yeah i agree the best thing happen for those who just believe in God... AMEN... ill keep that in mind.. n0n0 to NON-C guys anymore...hehe

             hey.... mares lets go out naman sometime.. dont you just wanna break away from work and school....labas tyo!!!

just had my dinner, sisig agen..yum yum..hehe

well just wanna share this.. here goes the hopeless romantic in me agen..(ghreyzee, i told you bout this na) hehe well last sunday i was just kinda not naman jealous, i was kinda hoping err.. wat term do i have to use ba?

cge try agen.. well last sunday, it was almost the last part of our church's service.. the pastor asked us to group into three and pray for each other, i ws carryin a baby so i just thought that i might just stay where i stand and pray for the baby and me..so as for my family and other people.. well just across me..across ata yn eh.. i saw this guy, wont name him na, with his new wife who is on her way on giving birth and his sister... i saw them and what realy caught my attention was the fact that he was so sweet to the two girls in her life.her sister and her wife... havent really seen him that serious and really praying as though those people were the ones that really meant so much in his life.. he was hugging her wife and her sis and holding the tummy of her wife.. he looks so ideal... something i thin is so hard to find in this chaotic life right now... ironically, his mom stood beside me and prayed for me and the baby i was carrying... hehe i just felt that maybe it was one of God's little way of saying that if i just wait... i have my own "moment" like that... and another girl would be wishing and paryng exactly what i just did..that someday ill have my own family, the one that God had made exactly for me..

super kilig talaga ako... but i know someday.. i will....
