The Good Ones Are Taken

Are you familiar with the term: "the good ones are taken" ?
I am a living witness of some incidents that occurred during my twenties, where few friends of mine (guys and girls) claimed their freedom to choose whatever type of girl/boyfriend they want. True, they were more than capable to do that! Most of them are smart, rich and good looking. They didn't want to be locked up like a property in a relationship or a marriage just yet. So back then, some even had this list of specific characteristics, looks and personality that they are seeking in a person.

I am now in my thirties and I see some of them are still single. Most people within our age are married by now and so am I. Some of my single friends that used to have high expectation have started to downgrade because the selections of eligible singles are getting narrower every day.

One of my friend recently claimed that even getting a date is not as easy as it was. They now must have a higher level of tolerance when most people they met have lesser points from what they used to expect. Finally, in her defense, she said, “the good ones are taken!”

But in my single friends’ defense, I would say that there is no such thing as getting married too late and getting married too soon. Everything happens in the right place at the right time. Some people experienced hell because of their failed marriages. Children became the worst victim. Sometimes it is better to wait rather than to rush it. However, expecting too much from others just made us too shallow as a human being, because nobody is perfect but God! It is best for us not to get carried away with our expectation, because we won’t know what we had until we lost them.

What do you think?

My New NoteBook


Setelah laptop gue kesamber petir dan masuk "bengkel" 2 minggu yang lalu, belum ada kepastian kapan tuh laptop bakal bisa selesai. Katanya karena sparepartnya belum ada... hiks....
Alhasil tiap hari gue melangkahkan kaki dengan gontai masuk kerja karena gue tau di kantor gue harus naik turun tangga untuk numpang cek email, kirim email, download file, numpang ngetik dan lain-lain.
Hal ini sangat melelahkan karena ruangan gue ada di lantai 2, sedangkan ruangan komputer yang bisa gue pinjem itu di lantai 1 dan juga dipakai terus sehingga harus gantian.
Setelah berusaha meyakinkan my partner yang sebenernya pengen banget beli motor bebek untuk transportasinya ke tempat-tempat terdekat, beliau bersedia mengalah dan memberikan kesempatan kepada rekannya yang bentar lagi ultah ini early birthday present dari kantor, sebuah laptop mungil yang bisa gue bawa2 meeting kemana2 (laptop gue yang dulu beratnya hampir 5kg) hahahahaha... puas puas puaaasssssss.... small, good spec and good price!!!
