What keeps you busy while single and waiting?

[juwie]

I worked hard on improving myself and keeping myself happy.

[Simplicity.Is.Me]

Hi sisses. I just turned 22. I dreamt of wanting to meet him young but I guess, love comes when you least expect it. I've had a boyfriend when I was 20 y/o but we broke up months after. It was really painful back then so I thought the way to ease the pain is to find someone new. So with that, I went out with several guys, but none of them really prospered into something boyfriend material. Those days were exhausting. That's why for now, I'll have some more "me time", focus on my career, beautify & pamper myself.

Just focus on loving yourself and becoming the best version of yourself and maybe you'd forget the yearning for a lover even just for a while. While you're waiting, improve on your skills too, like cooking and all the wife material skills! As they've said, instead of finding the right one, be the right one.

Working hard, exercising, reading books and searching in online dating sites.

Iba pa ren pag may effort maghanap eh, I believe in fate pero dapat may actions din.

[Zea88]

Keep on working on improving myself. Be in the moment, Appreciate Life and do the things Im passionate about.. Continue my life expansion.  For the meantime I'm  enjoying my meditation group and all of them are from this GT forum. Like minded people attracts like minded people indeed.

Good job, Zea88. Tama yan. We can't just be sad because we're single, we need to keep busy.

[Zea88]

Tama! hahah. Di naman kabawasan sa pagkatao mo yung pagiging single though people always limit themselves because of age.  Like ilan taon ka na yung kaibigan mo tatlo na anak ikaw wala pa naku mahihirapan ka nyan, etc. People have different journey, choices and lesson to learn. Imbes patulan sabi ko thats good for them I have my time naman and Im happy with my life..

[fredprinz]

You're correct. Not to mention yung mga kamaganak/kaibigan naten na tanong ng tanong kung kelan tayo maga-asawa.

Darn, wala pa ngang girlfriend eh. Hahaha!

Ako i noticed na malalaman mo talaga yung minset ng ta regarding marriage kapag paulit ulit sila tinatanong ng mga kamaganak. My sister (she's 32, wth his bf for 5 yrs already), ang laging kinukulit mg mga kamagnak namin kung kelang mag aasawa. She always says wala pang plano, na okay lang sya sa buhay nya, na masaya naman sya, pero she does this sarcastically, with a tone na "please dont ask me anymore!!!" Haggang sa eventually he grew apart na sa mga tito and tita namin, sa mga cousins, ang layo na nya sa family namin. Minsan ayaw na nya umuwi nfg probinsya. Ayaw na nya sumama sa reunions, etc kase iniisip nya sya na naman ang magiging sentro ng usapan for being an 'old maid'. sya yung obvious na cover up nya lang yung masaya sya na hindi pa sya kasal eh. Lalo na ngayon im getting married next yr (im the youngest sa family, and sya ang panganay. My two other siblings are married na so sya na lang talaga maiiwan na single). I feel sad for her, not for being single at 32 pero for being so negartive about it.

^ I feel for your sis, hellow nakakairita naman kasi nakada makikita mu mga kamg anak mu yun ang itatanung sayo pag reunions,party and family vacay ikaw ang sentro ng pang aasar nila. Like in my case I'm only 27 but I'm always being compared sa ate ko na 1 year older and may 3 kids na then sa 1 year younger naman sakin na may 1 kid na. Nakakpagod din kasi depensahan sarili mu, I always smile na lang pero sa loob loob ko nakkainis na and really tinatmad na din ako umattend ng mga reunions.

[simang]

^but i think the point is, kahit anong sabihin ng ibang tao, no matter how they pressure you, if you are genuinely happy being on your own, it will manifest with how you deal with these questions. ang nakikita ko kase sa sis ko, is that ayaw nyang pinag uusapan ang lovelife nya (may bf sya of 5 yrs na) kung kelan sila magsettle down, or magkababy, or whatever, kase she's afraid that her partner has no plans of settling down. dun ako nalulungkot for my sister. totoo nakakairita ang mga tanong nila, pero if you're a happy person inside, none of them should matter.

I hope i get busy. Wala magawa lately while im single ee.

[fredprinz]

Perfect time to travel, Miss Pancake!

I traveled alone in Tokyo just this year, sobrang eye-opener, I enjoyed it and I'm going back. Haha!

Try new stuff. You'll appreciate the free time you have. =)

I hope i get busy. Wala magawa lately while im single ee.

[juwie]

I would also recommend that sis fredprinz, travel to a foreign place on your own.

That did me a world of good.

[fredprinz]

I'm a guy. Hahaha.

[juwie]

Bro fredprinz. High five. 🙋 hahaha

[Zea88]

 Yeah. na experience ko na to  travel alone pero dito lang sa pinas  noon sa work kasi lagi field ang work then last year solo ako 1 week sa tagaytay soul searching hahha.. Pero nakakatakot slight kasi dami mga loko loko eh, pero nag iingat ako so I'm always safe. 

Ngayon trip ko naman sa tanay hahah.. Meditate ng bongga 

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

That's the point sis Simang she's not happy about it and people keeps on picking sa part na yun na kumabaga weakness nya, so better not to mention it na lang, para di sya mawalan ng gana.

Anyway para di ot, siguro travelling with friends and family then exercise hindi lang para sexy kundi healthy na din

Excellent read! This is what I'm preaching about.

Sobrang turn-on ng successful, independent woman na knows what she wants and is not afraid to take it.

Saludo ako sa inyo!

Always stay confident, classy and never accept BS!
