I'm planning to upgrade my Nokia 7610 cellphone to a Motorola V3X next week. This motorola model comes in 3 colors - black, blue, hot pink and rust orange. My supplier informed me that they have a hot pink unit in stock. I got...

hdb425 Hubby and I did a compromise. I chose the cosmic blue unit instead. It's my fave color and hubby gets to use the unit at the same time. But I still wonder about the hot pink unit though. Hmmmm...to simulate the CTU atmosphere, I also downloaded the "24...

hdb425 Hey, thanks for your wonderful thoughts. The hot pink phone indeed looks hot. Sad to say, I didn't get that one. Hubby and I compromised and I got the cosmic blue one. It is a very cool phone! Using it with my laptop is so easy, I can do my text messaging...

hdb425 I didn't get the hot pink unit. Hubby and I compromised on the cosmic blue one. Blue's my fave color and he can still use it whenever he feels like it. Hmmm..but I keep wondering how cool it'll look if I bought the pink one...sigh...

hdb425 I know! Hot pink truly is hot...but sad to say, my husband and I just had a compromise. He knows that my favorite color is blue and so I just chose the cosmic blue color of the unit. It's still pretty cool and my husband can use it when he feels like it.

hdb425 I agree that today's society is not so accepting of the singlehood status. It's truly sad that it frowns upon people who've chosen this path. I believe a number of people really choose life as a single but there are those who are in it by default. Being single...

Do you ever wish you were single again or do you like the safety and security of being married?

8 responses

hdb425 I totally agree with you! There is no security and safety, not even in marriage itself. Once you feel safe and secure in it, complacency sets in and it might be the cause for troubles ahead. Even in marriage, no man or woman should sit on their laurels - it...

hdb425 I am stunned at your story. Serves the shopping mall right that the couple returned all the stuff they bought. Breastfeeding is a natural thing. It's only narrow-minded people who give so much malice to this. In breastfeeding in public, we don't really show...

hdb425 Nice to know you're also a "beach bum". I can understand how permanently living away from the metro can be anxiety-building. I guess I was just lucky to have made the transition smoothly.

hdb425 It's not really a romantic flick but it's also good for Happy Hearts Day because it's all about love (love of a father for his son)...it's Pursuit of Happyness starring Will Smith. A tearjerker definitely but a lot of values can be learned from the movie. If...
