I'm Jealous? No Way!

A friend of mine was looking at her cousin's wedding photos.

"Oh, why do I have to miss this? I love weddings!"
"Well, you can have your own wedding if you want."
"Do you plan to get married?"
"Haha, that depends on whether someone wants me!"
"Whoa! Good answer!"

Some sempai (seniors) visited our campus last Saturday. We were asking about an Indonesian sempai's age but he was reluctant to answer.

"Jeez. I've finally realized how old I am, being with you guys!"
"Oh? How old are you?"

He refused to tell but we were persistent.

"Okay, okay! Why are you so interested, anyway?"
"No particular reason! And there's no reason for a guy to dodge such a question too!"
"Most of my friends are either already married or getting married - that's how old I am... Sniff, sniff..."

* * * * *

"He has got a girlfriend."
"What? He? That fast?"
"Yeah, just in __* weeks!"

(*Sorry. Can't disclose any further information. 約束だ！)

Uh oh, now I feel old too! I'm not jealous! Mind you! I'm just, uh, shocked. That's all.

This is not just any he, you know. This is the he who seems so serious about studies. To him, the next thing after studies is studies and studies. Or, that's what I think of him. No insult intended. It's just that, things can happen so fast, don' t they? __ weeks' time? Phew!

Maybe this has something to do with air pollution or global warming or radioactive exposure or whatever - people nowadays ask the same old question...

Version 1:

"Hey, have you found any girlfriend yet?"
"Uh, no..."
"Come on, you must be kidding! You're in Japan, dude!"

(Yeah, I'm in Japan. So...?)

Version 2:

"Hey, have you found any pretty Japanese girlfriend yet?"
"Uh, no.."
"Come on, dude! Don't set your expectations so high!"

(Hello, people! Wake up! Don't believe everything you see in anime and hentai shows! Jeez, what has the world come to?)

What's wrong with me still being non-committed? I'm happy this way. (Oops, nose's growing...)

"Believe me, happiness is up to yourself and no one else. Why would I want to let my happiness depend on someone else's existence anyway?" as Zi Yun said.

Yeah, I believe her. Why shouldn't I? I need to find a way to console myself, you know.

Okay, maybe I'm a little jealous. Just a little teensy-weensy-itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny-itty-bitty jealous. Not more than that, period.
