Of work and being queen

Oh, so long since I last posted. 

 The fact is, I have been going to the library more in the past three months than I've ever been in the last 5 years. 

 Magazines of Interior design, Bridal and wedding, Health and fitness and even National Geographic have been on my read list while in the library. And I've paid countless times of $1.55 reservation fee for resource books related on behaviour therapy and teaching strategies for children with autism. 

 So, as far as self-upgrading is concerned, I think I'm making pretty reasonable headway for this year. 

 Career-front, it seems like the circumstances are pointing me to a freelancing arrangement. To be honest, it makes better time sense and income sense, since I have come to realise that I'm in a position where experience and qualifications do not match and thus, neither would the salary range. Once again, I'm just trying to believe that it is what has always been in store for me. Just that this time round, I know better than to spread myself too thin. Especially not when I'm still anticipating for good news of my M.Edun application. So, stay calm and stay positive till June, I guess.

 So, Emman and I have started to look into wedding venues for the evening banquet. I don't quite understand why there is a need for the banquet, a Chinese one too! But, I guess there is no harm in looking around before we even decide if we are going to go ahead with it. I mean, it's still something different to do on weekends, visiting hotel ballrooms and for my boyfriend to get excited over the wedding preparations. 

 As for the bride's choice of gowns... pardon me but I don't quite understand why other girls want to look or feel like a princess on what would possibly be the most tiring day of their lives. Personally, I would choose 'Queen' over 'Princess'. haha, that's just like me, right? I mean, why be the princess when you can be the queen? Anyway! So, I decided that the perfect gown would be one that makes me feel like a queen. Well, and the groom-to-be would be quick to add, 'elegant'. So, that's what we are going to aim for - 'Elegant Queen'.
