Being a single woman has several advantages. Like me, I have more time to hang around with friends, visit places wherever I want, buy anything I desire and many more. As a single-working woman, I earn my own living and not necessarily consult with anyone if I wish to spend my money. Shopping mall is just one of my getaways besides bookstores or cinema. Moreover, in hectic city like Jakarta, I couldn’t find much better place to socialize. And of course, I can cruise those places with my friends, especially in weekend. Just pick the place and decide the time, I’ll have an instant date. Other pleasurable activities in weekend for a single woman like me are cooking, watching DVD, or just sleeping all day to release the fatigue. And for sure, I can do it by myself without being disturbed by a husband or children.
When I buy expensive-fancy things, because I think I deserve for it, I am not worried to be a sinner when I see the digits on the price tag. I only have to say within my heart, “Well Thea, don’t worry, it’s just once in a blue moon”. However, I don’t mean to compare the life of single women vis-à-vis married woman because the later also have their joy. The laugh of children and the togetherness with a family are truly priceless things. In my own time, I will take care of husband and my children also. Just for this time, I am still enjoying my being single.

Being single is fun. It also gives me all the freedom that I need. But, being single for too long can make me questioned the importance of being not single… well, I guess I’m just too comfortable being alone.
One thing that I learned from Whitney Houston’s “The Greatest Love of All”, to be my own best friend. Hm… when there’s no body that you can rely on, you just have to be able to rely on your self, right?
And when you can do this, being single is not a problem. At all. As long as we are single by choice.
Indi says “…..As long as we are single by choice”.
I say “…in other words, not be a single by condition or we don’t have a choice but being a single”.:P
Well, I am here becoz the owner of this site asked me to hehehhe. I am not a quite good commentator. Being single was wonderful to me. But being married is splendid. It’s beyond everything, knowing that you have someone you can share your life with. In marriage life, it’s not about “you” anymore. Everything that used to be “me”, now should be “us”. It teaches you to put your self before your spouse. That’s all I can share. So far, I have not missed my single time at all. So..for you single women..go get married. Find the right men. You’ll be happier:)…Aduh propaganda pernikahan banget. It’s true. I was a bit stunned with the city advertising campaign for marriage here in USA. The state of Maryland strongly encourage its citizen to get married by displaying some billboards that says “Marriage Works”. So, ayo menikah…hehhehe.

Mbak Betty..thanks a lot for coming. A sincere comment from a married woman like you is definitely a testimonial reflecting a marriage condition. I am pretty sure that many women wish that they will have a life like yours. Hopefully, your life is always great there. Love u:)
