Day in the Life of Candy
Single or coupled?
February 20th, 2007So who has more fun on Valentine’s Day? Those who are Single or those who are Coupled?
“Couples, of course!” Nicole said, enthusiastically. “Why, you fall in love all over again! Flowers in the morning, sweet messages throughout the day, a romantic dinner, and a Valentine’s gift to cap it off.”
“On the contrary,” Jill countered, “Valentine’s is not just about romantic love. It’s about celebrating love in all its forms. I can have a fab dinner with my friends or family and have as much fun as you.”
I thought back:
To those Valentine’s days spent single—doubled over in laughter with my friends, being silly, eating at a restaurant, or hitting the videoke. The bonding, the good vibes, the company. Those days were a blast.
Fast forward to Carlo’s and my first Valentine’s Day as a couple! Waking up to a call from him, those three long-stemmed roses, and, gosh, what a dinner date! The ambience, the mood, the candlelight, and the love of my life. It was perfect, I was transfixed!
“Well?” Nicole’s and Anne’s voice broke my reverie.
Who has more fun on Valentine’s Day? You tell me.

New Year’s Resolutions
January 24th, 2007Another year, another round of resolutions.
I don’t know about you, but I never get to keep mine. Whether I write them down in some official-looking list tacked on the cork board near my study table, in my diary or on a piece of paper neatly folded in my wallet (for easy reference) I can never, and I mean never, keep my New Year’s Resolutions.
Oh, but I have so much fun listing them down. Try to stop gossiping. Save 10% of your allowance every day! Don’t feel bad about sharing your clothes with Marsha. Help out in the household chores every Sunday. Finish your homework before watching TV. Resist antagonizing your brothers. After a while, though, I noticed that these are the very same things I write down year in and year out. If not, my list is longer. That means that, not only have I not gotten better, I got much worse.
So is it all a lost cause? Are we doomed to have the same nasty habits forever? Are we essentially the same immutable, unchangeable persons? Is New Year really an opportunity to jump-start the life that we want to lead and the person that we want to become? Or is it just any old day, much like any other day in the year?
I still don’t know. Meantime, let me copy my old list into a new one and see what happens again.
