This Blog is an outlet for the random thoughts of an amateur opinionator.
What's an opinionator?
An opinionator is somebody who has power without responsibility, and the ability to spout off on any subject without worrying too much about the consequences of what comes out of the mouth. All you need is an opinion and the opportunity to voice it.
TV is full of professional opinionators. The internet gives the amateur his chance.

While hurrying every office responsibility to be finished last Friday, I received a call from Nathan asking me to attend Joyce’s [high school friend] wedding. I immediately agreed for it has been a long time since I saw her and I just happened to be one of the Godfathers of his child. They’ve been married already but I guess they just wanna do it again for whatever reason I surely appreciate anyway.
I remembered wasting time the other week, chatting with friends, looking at celebrities captured in photos showing off their baby bumps and downloading music at home, I learned via friendster that a friend is getting married. There she was flashing that huge rock with stars in her eyes and I was very happy for her. I knew it was coming, they’ve been together forever.
Her engagement news followed my receipt of a card reminding me that one of my friend from my former company is getting married next month. I emailed her thanking her for the invite and she politely let me know that it was just a Save the Date - the actual invite would come later.
I know nothing about the wedding process, and that doesn’t bother me. I am just irritated that marriage seems to be the topic of all of the conversations around me lately. Another friend has been engaged for months, my cousin and her significant other eloped about a week ago [and decided to tell us after] and I have a feeling that a few more friends and relatives will be walking down the aisle sooner rather than later.
And as my circle of single friends continues to dwindle, I’m struggling to figure out who I will begin spending all my free time with. I’m beginning to think weddings are the lates trend - I just didn’t get the memo.
I don’t wanna burden myself with such thoughts though.
The day didn’t just end there, after the ceremony, Nates and I went to Quiapo for some DVD haggling. I guess I’ll be married to my DVDs first… at least for the moment.
