I was just reading "Chasing Harry Winston" by Lauren Weisberger (Her first novel is the famous "The Devil Wears Prada"). Emmy, on of the character, turned down a position that enables her to go on a world culinary tour, just because her ex-boyfriend asked her not to. So they could be together in New York.
The first thing that came to me was, are you crazy? Ditching this almost once-in-a-lifetime chance, for a jerk that dump you anyway. Wow. If it was me, I would've accept the offer without even skipping a heartbeat. I get to travel, see exciting places, try wonderful world cuisine, and got paid doing it. Oh yeah, talk about a dream job. Screw the boyfriend. Gimme the job.
And then, a thought just jump into my mind. Is this why I don't have boyfriend?

2010
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Short number facts for 2010: it's my 28th new year, 2nd without my mom, and 3rd that I celebrate in Michigan and away from home. Unfortunately, this time I celebrate it with being single ... again.
Speaking of, maybe I should make my 2010 resolution to be not single again. But then again, I do so hate sounding so desperate. I don't know what it is, but desperate doesn't wear well on me. Should I make the resolution "to try not to be single" instead? Somehow, that doesn't sound better. Still sounding desperate ... dang.
My sister tweeted that she most envious with people during new years and holidays, because they have a complete family. I'm pastel green with envy with people that are blissfully not single. And yes, that would include my sister. She is officially off the market, blissfully in relationship. And yes, it came complete with Facebook status change. Well, not really. I'm kinda glad that she could be in another relationship after the first train wreck. So she has healed and ready to put her heart on the line again.
But that leaves me! What would happen to dear old ... uhum, young me? Is it time to throw the towel? To finally settle for whatever I can get? To give Gerard Butler up? Umm, well ... never mind that (let's hope that Mr. Butler is not vain enough to google himself up). Maybe, maybe not. I just have to wait and see ...
2010 resolution: to open my mind broader to the options out there without settling for less than great.
