Seein Red..

So after a few days of recuperating(hence the delay of a new post) and trying to get back to study mode, I am ready to rant and rave about an issue..

MARRIAGE...

You see in my family we are currently having a family wide sale..my cousins are on sale..up too 70% off..Final sale of coures, so no returns or exchanges..unfortunaltly we do not provide fitting rooms for fittings..Therefore pick one and try your luck..You always have up to 4 store credits..

Yea..My BABY cousin..Got engaged..Milchat..Got hitched..Was seen half dressed infront of a complete and utter stranger..She is now going out with this guy..

This is not the only problem..I was recruited into decorating the house for her party..People..I dont beleive in the institution..You want me to advertise it with my designs??What the Fuc*?
But I had no say in the matter..I was carted from one store to another, form one mall to another and was abused in the most unhumane way possible..I had to decorate and give opinons about hair, make up, dress..UGh...

I got to deal with the caters..Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun..Miskeen the cake and baklava people..I gave them a good piece of my mind..It was one of those "days" where the sky was a dark shade of black and the air smelled of skunk and the air was thick and suffocating..So Im probably never ever going to be setting foot in that establishment in the future..

The party went off with only a few hitches..You know, pizza got cold or drinks needed more ice..But over all it was an awsome success..Even the bratty kids were well behaved..The decorations kicked ass..The music was awsome the bride was absoultely drop dead gorgous..

The only major problem with my cousins and thier martial bliss..IS that it puts pressure on me...
PEOPLE
I
AM
NOT
MARRIAGE
MATERIAL....
The ladies that graced us with thier pressence made it perfectly clear that i should be married..Sooon..So not only am to wed but I am to be wed with a deadline..What the hell?!?!?My self imposed expiration date is my 25 birthday..Obviously that isnt good enough..My god..Just cause my family memebers like having another half doesnt mean I do..Get the message people..Get on with the fucking program..My god..
"Mashalla your next!"
"That just leaves you cutie"
"Miskeena Mimi bas hia left..Dont worry baby you'll get married soon",
"Do you have any one in mind",
"why dont you come to this wedding this week, Im sure someone is looking for a bride "
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHH
Ya saber ayoob....

It's absolutely refreshing to hear a Kuwaiti girl not basing her life and letting it revolve around marriage and a husband. Your life and your achievements count and are valuable, married or not.

But society marks importance on marriage and children, mentalities will change when more people like you come along.

wow i loved ur topic
same here same problem here !!

girl has a lable with ex.date!! its rediculos

shes not married shes is like
the biggest " MASKEENA"
!!!! whats wrong with these people they just dont get it, they only want to have babies and thats it!
when do they really get to live.

marridge is optional in life when ever u felt like it + the guy u know u want and is right for you then so be it :) may it be a blessed marridge .

u get married because u want to, ur ready, and u have the person u want to live with. same case after u get married. u have babies because u want to, because ur ready, because u BOTH want to :)
see these are all options inlife not musts ...

if not , u live on just as happy just as suuccesfull more important, just as normal as everyone else :)

sorry 6awalt bs l2ani 7ail mi7tara lol min zuman u helped me unbottle my feelings :* thnx dear and good luck.

Your majesty sparkling princess--you humble me ;) Im keeping them a short leash hun;)I think if they lay off for a bit I might acutally think about commitment ;)..I did say might..lol

No3ik--Welcome welcome to my abode..PLease some Mocha?Lemonade?
I dont like the fact either that we are resembling milk cartons.."Please see reverse for good before date" :)
I totally agree..You get married and make brats when you decide you are physically and mentally stable enough..I hate it when people judge you on the basis of you being married or not..People yes Im smart, yes Im good looking and Yes im single and no Im not a slut..Sheesh..Im going to type it up and stick it onto my forehead..:P
I loooooooooove looong comments..Looove em..Feel free to rant and unbottle your feelings here!!

Ur such a sweet heart ;*

thanks, for the cute welcome :)

i also need to add one more thing.
people really dont care if ur happily married or not. Being stuck in a miserable marriage is better than being a happy single girl. they just want to get u off their backs !!! ur like a burden.

They dont realize that they are the ones who are becoming a burden!!!

people who love u should be happy for u, knowing that ur simply happy and satisfied with ur choices in life. not tell u what to do, and how to live
when I say "people" and "they" I dont no necessarily mean ur parents, its society and ur family.

my parents, are gr8 and they support me all the time, problem is with my cousins who are getting married in the age of 17 having babies in 18 !!!! what do they know? believe me they dont know alot of things. all they know now is that they are MARRIED.

thats it i guess :)
have a good day now.

And that's why some ladies deliberately get married in order to quickly get divorced. Then the fun and supposed freedom begins.

like seriously... Can they stop these traditions of BLIND-MARRIAGE SET UPS.. we are human, not girls for sale, not something our parents rised us up to be someones (excuse my language) f**k mate fantacy.. cuz when u look at it thats all it is.. THE MAN IS IN YOU BEFORE HE IS REALLY GOTTEN TO KNOW YOU.. how do people do that?? i dont get it.. and then these women turn around and feel sorry for you because you have passed the age of 20 without being f**ked by a stranger that you are suppose to spend the rest of your life with.. JUST LET US FIND HIM ON OUR OWN.. stop setting us up on these blind-marriages.. and honestly its no different than the white girl that sleeps with a guy that she hardly knows after a party and gets pregnant with him. Because our people are just justifying it with a lil contract and some religious sentences to make it ok.

tantalize--lol..The dark recess of a female mind..A man who knows our secerts;)Ya walad ya kha6eer..:P

Bare feet--**jumps up cheering with pink and blue pom poms**I totally agree..People I dont want my first sexual experiance to be with a guy who I got to know for two months..EXCUSE ME for wanting to be in an emotional or intellectual level with someone before sleeping with them..Darling Im soo glad you understand...We are not up for sale and we DO NOT HAVE A FUCKING DUE DATE..Im not married because I DONT WANT TOO..

no3aik--Not really a burden..But more like they would rather see you married and miserable because they cannot fathom the fact that you are single and happy..

My parents are awsome..Or should I saw my mom is awsome..She wants me married when I finish my PhD ;)But its good that your parents are understanding..All parents in general feel that thier kids should be given choice..Its just the enviorment we are surrounded in and how it veiws those choices..


DayDreamer--darlin darlin so do you;)Have someone in mind that is..??hmm?hmm?
