My Weekend

I had a great weekend with great companies. The after effect, my arms and legs are groaning in pain. Every time I have to carry my notebook bag, my left arm will scream in pain. Every time I have to climb the stairs to my third floor apartment and third floor office, my legs cries with every torturous step. Oh for God's sake, I only played several bowling games over the weekend. It just shows how long I haven't bowl and even longer that I haven't had any exercise. Every inch of my muscles are screaming murder at me for putting them through the grueling torture. But I told the muscles I wouldn't trade anything for those times so they better endure the pain and shut up heh :)

The great companies I spent time with happen to be two successful single moms. This is the first time both of them meet so it is only natural for them to share horror stories of their marriage. I can only listen in awe when they recall what they have gone through. Men can be such a cruel beast… with no balls. I ran out of curse words. All I can think of is beating them to pulp for what they did to my friends. Some lessons learnt and very valuable to the ladies are as follows:-

1. Keep your friends. If your potential husband did not respect your friends and tries not to let you spend time with them, you better think twice. Your husband may leave you anytime but your friends will stick with you through thick and thin.

2. If you smell trouble in your marriage, never thought another baby will bind him. You'll end up with another mouth to feed while going through the procedures to claim child support from your husband.

3. Trust your instinct. If something doesn't sound right, doesn’t' feel right, something IS terribly wrong and you better find out what.

4. Your spouse is your other half but if your other half is trying to kill you or drive you insane, you just have to get rid of them. Trust me. You've found a wrong other half for yourself.

5. Learn to drive. If something happens, you must know how to drive so you can get help.

6. Make decisions for yourself. Don't even think about what your relatives might say. They're not the one suffering.

There are more lessons learnt but I think the above should suffice for now. Just thinking about it is making me mad. But I should also highlight that I now see my friends in a new light. They have gone through hell and came back stronger.
