What if?

Well 2009 has come to a end. I feel relieved. We have been so much as a couple. After loosing half of my hours and 10% of my pay, my wife has been taking more calls at her work. She has very strange hours and sometimes I don't get to see her for the whole day. It is tough because I wanted to work more to relieve the stress that my wife goes though everyday at her work. We are able to work things out because we know this is a temporary situation. So I am looking forward to 2010. I will be going back to school to study IT. I am excited and movited to have a better kind of work that I enjoy doing. I feel 2010 will be a better year for us.

We didn't really do any kind of partying for New Years. We just took it easy. There was one movie that we saw. It was called "(500) Days Of Summer." There was a scene when Summer sees Tim at their favorite spot when they were dating. This was the end of the movie when Tim realized that she is married and how she met her future husband. It was done without any thought. They said hello and agreed to have a coffee together. If she didn't do that, she wouldn't find the love of her life. That scene put a spark in my head.

In December of 2006, I was on Friendster checking out to see if I had any messages for the day. I was tired of going into a online relationship again. I felt that I wasted a lot of times wanting it to happen. I checked to see who viewed my profile. One of the people viewed my profile was a person named Irma. She is from Chicago and I noticed that she is a friend of one of my acquaintances from bowling. So I thought to send her a message to her. Not only she replied but after a month of half of sending messages, we decided to meet and the rest is history. After dating for 2 years, I popped the question and she accepted. We got married on April 8, 2009. Looking back to it now and seeing that movie, I was thinking. What if didn't send her a message? What if she didn't viewed my profile? I could not be where I am and my life would be very different. I look back at that I and go "Wow. How did that happen?" That is something I really can't explain.
