musings on life partner

haha...!
sent a filippino doc friend off at the airport today and she told me to get married by today next year!
she's a friend i love dearly. (or WAS a friend i loveD dearly!?!?!) we meet about once yearly when either she comes over or i go over to the Philippines on work trips.
at terminal 2 this early morning, she ganged up with her other friend to 'pressure' me...

wat a pity... i dun feel the heat that easily... especially since today was such a wet and cold morning and the airport was such a freezer. =p

well, i guess i'm amused by the legions of pp anxious to see me tie the knot!! the number of pp pledging to pray for my life partner has hit a record high this 2nd quarter of 2005.

*nb: to join this ever-growing interest group (hahahahahaha!!!), mail me and i'll give you my specs and requests and juicy updates! (hahahahahaha!!!)*

here are some FAQs:
Have you been praying for a life partner?
yes. ( u have any idea how many pp will scold me if i say no?! haha)

What kind of person are you looking for?
well, in a nutshell,
1. a guy (hey, the world is a messy place!! u cant take this for granted)
2. love God more than me (can be read as 1.loves God more than he loves me, 2. love God more than i love God - so that i'll be inspired to grow in loving God more. though this is rather hard to qualify)
3. directed (has a clear vision and goals, and knows what he wants and is working towards it) and in the same direction (cant be heading different ways can we?)
4. ...
5. ...
6. ...
(hey, if i keep typing, it wont be "in a nutshell" right?)
basically someone whom i can live out God's call in my life with ( i can go to where God wants me to go to and serve with).

Do you want to have kids?
Do you mind guys of different nationality and race?
Does age matter?
Can i introduce guys to you?
Y r u so closed up? ( u gotta b more open... y say no? blah blah... n the chiding goes on... *mind u these r not "old pp". young folks have exhibited a high tendency to nag n be nosey as well! hahaha!)

well, wanna know the answers to these and other questions, refer to nb above.

but i'll juz answer one more qn: Y non-Christians cannot?
2 Corinthians 6:14 - Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
and ref to no.3

enough said. i dunno... i'm not as eager to find Mr Right as i m in making sure i'm Ms Right.

The Right guy at the wrong time is the wrong guy.
n, m i the right gal for the right guy at this time?

so... in ending, i'll quote the famous ad's tagline - what time is it?

time to get back to work!
