It's not wrong to be imperfect and guilty. People will forgive, and they would forget. That's why we are humans…we forget. Sometimes it's just plain hard to follow the rules…what where they thinking when they jot down something stupid like that? Rules are meant to be broken…in the most creative way, I guess…
I went back to my hometown last month. It was that kind of holidays that seems normal on the outside but totally different inside. I went for something far more important. I went back with my girlfriend to get engaged. Yup…you heard me right. I'm officially engaged now…finally.
Part of the reason that I didn't post regularly (sorry) for this past two month is due to the new office... loads of unsettle work and me thinking to much about the engagement. Me and my girlfriend have been together for almost 7 years now. I met her while working during my semester break at Dell. She was there on the same circumstances also. Who ever guess a simple date to celebrate our pay day would end up as a relationship that would endure 7 years of uncertainty because of our religion. I'm a Catholic and she was a Christian (SIB).
It's kind of strange how we humans fight over something like religion. In order to get blessing from the church to get marry, one of us would have to give up our belief…why? I'm not willing to force her to follow me and she felt the same for me. For a time it was a cruel thing for us both when going to church wasn't on our Sunday plan anymore. Both of us are in love but the thought of getting our parents on a war path was unthinkable. We were both on a crossroad. We got into arguments…until one day, we decided that we would go to both churches on Sunday…
We are engaged now, I'm still a Catholic and she is still a Christian. When you love someone, religion “sometimes” isn't a barrier. Our family accepted that both of us are happier like this…learning and sharing one another opinions on our faith. Thank you God… thank you…
