Pa-cute days are (almost) over

From Cosmopolitan Magazine to Better Homes.

From Femalenetwork.com and Elle.com to Interiordesign.net.

It was a tough decision to make. I am used to the comforts of my own home, the convenience of having a yaya most of the time to take care of my things. Hell, I don’t even wash my own clothes.

Now I am compelled to look beyond shopping for clothes, shoes and bags.

This is a different ballgame altogether.

Friends won’t be seeing much of me for the coming weeks and months. I would be busy taking care of my BIG PROJECT.

Read: I would do whatever it takes for me to accomplish it.

Contrary to what some of my friends are teasing me, I am no kill-joy. I just decided to grow up and let the other younger ladies take charge of the pa-cutesy, teeny-bopper stuff.

It’s also not a passing fancy – a hobby or a project that I would soon get tired of. No, I wasn’t seduced by its novelty, as this would cost me so much of my hard-earned money.

It’s a good feeling, though – to finally get over superficial, mundane things and move on to the next phase.

Again, I am not yet getting married! I will spill the beans when the right time comes. I just don’t like people playing devil’s advocate when I have finally come into a steadfast decision. Yes, unsolicited advice is not welcome at this point.

So to my friends, thank you for the moral support. Enjoy the partying without moi. I’m sure the party would go on – more fun even. Just don’t forget to drink that one cocktail or shooter in my honor.
