• Its been a LONG time...still single

  I told myself I wouldn't come back on here until I could say that I had been a bride, but alas! One full presidential term later and I am still single. I am not bitter by any means, just a little confused. I guess I should do my best to update you within the last four years. I think the last you heard from me, I was in school studying to be a graphic designer which I believe was in 09 so I guess we'll start from there.

  2009

  An old roommate from college got hitched, but I chose not to attend as I was short on the cash flow.
  Got a job as a nanny working for an ex-Chinese model, who turned out to be crazy.
  Got a scholarship for school yay!

  2010

  Both my friends Cheri and Jaz who got married in 08, got preggers, both with boys
  School is continuing.

  2011

  More engagements (most of them from kids I used to babysit)
  Told my best friend of four years that I liked him. We had a falling out, but reconciled six months later.
  A guy began showing me interest. Unfortunately, friends around us kept pushing him to make a decision, so he backed out, and now we barely hang out.

  2012

  Engagements gallore--more friends join the "Heputaringonit" Club.
  Weddings
  My sister and I started a photography and graphic design business
  School is finally coming to a close and I am looking for an internship.
  High school reunion (10)

  So, I know it looks like nothing has really been happening, but I have been consumed with work and school. The idea of going on dates scared me as I have no experience at it at the ripe age of 28, but this year I promised that I would try to step out more and be a bit more adventures. I don't think that's the entire issue as to why I am single though. I think part of it is due to the fact that I am absolutely oblivious to guys' advances until its far too late. Decent guys paying me attention in a subtle way is unheard of and most of the time I miss the opportunity to respond to their pursuit and wind up in the dreaded "Friend Zone" forever. I think the other part is that I don't put myself out there enough because I am not an attention hog. In fact I shy away from it so insecurely that I am sure that's a HUGE turn off. Anyway, twenty twelve will be different, well what's left of it anyway, and I hope to have more to share and no longer a single lady in waiting.

  Much love.
