me or my alter ego

Thanks to E, who introduced me to a couple of potential matches last night.

One of the guys was on vacation, so we ended up talking after the group dinner dinner for a couple of hours. Very cool. This is my favorite part - when the guy presents his best self and tries hard.

The guy pointed out that I may be dating the wrong crowd. Hum... He also mentioned that I am probably the most independent woman he has ever met. Is that so bad? When has independent become a dirty word in dating? It definitely doesn't help that I don't need a life partner. Right now, I just need a wedding date for E's wedding in Oct. Two months and counting.

I just have to be me. Although I am going to tinker with my image. Marketing...

older, wiser, and definitely happier

Signed up for a dating site today.

Looked around (always check out the competition), and I realized that most of the women are younger.

I don't mind getting older at all. In fact, I relish in knowing more. Knowledge is indeed power!

Perhaps the only drawback is that I will lose my appeal to a number of men. Is that really a drawback? ;) I have only gotten more attention as I got older, but that's probably due to my diverse groups of friends and confidence. Hum...

Well, here's to the next round of dating. Once again, hoping it's my last.

responsibilities

Hosted a reunion with a group of college friends. It was nice to hear all the good news.

Preparing for the reunion was a test of limits as I was dealt with a broken grill, several social commitments, and visits to family in South Bay and East Bay.

By being in the moment and just enjoy each and every person who shared their time, I had one of the best weekends ever. I even fixed my parents' satellite signal by switching two TVs and two receivers around.

By the end of the weekend, I had lost all the fatigue from a week of emotional roller-coaster. I was struggling with my desire for a relationship and my own life that I forgot that this is my life, a hodgepodge of responsibilities. I get the most joy by giving to everyone and myself.

I ended the weekend by giving myself a pedicure and watching more Olympics. I am glad to find that balance once again.
