The power of "Relationship Status" on Facebook

Today is 8th Feb 2011. It's the sixth day of lunar Chinese New Year. Everything is still the same. Adults go back to work while children go back to school. Me? Still working at the same cafe that own by me and my boyfriend, opps, I should call him as my fiance now, Chris.


Nothing much has changed except that he popped the question. Some people are happy for me while some are not. Well, they didn't say it out loud but their action speak louder than words. Seriously, I don't understand why people need to make a fuss about other people's relationship status on Facebook. Does it matter to them if my status is "engaged"? Oh ... I don't think so. But apparently, they are not happy because my fiance has changed his status too. In their mindset, changing relationship status without inform them is rude! They feel like they have been caught off guard. But, you know what, I don't really give a damn. Can't they just get themselves a life? Gosh! 


Okay, let's just said they don't know the true meaning of engagement. According to Wikipedia: "An engagement is a promise to marry, and also the period of time between proposal and marriage – which may be lengthy or trivial. During this period, a couple is said to be affianced, betrothed, engaged to be married, or simply engaged. Future brides and grooms are often referred to as fiancées or fiancés respectively (from the French word fiancé). The duration of the courtship varies vastly.". So people who are annoyed by our relationship status, we are not married yet. OKAY? 


Seriously, I just want to get marry ... with the man that I truly love. We've been together for 8 years. So, what do you think we should do next? Please don't jump into other people life and tell us what to do or not to do. 


I've told myself that I can't control other's people action but I can control how I react to them. So, I decided to move on and don't ever look back. Their action just simply show that they are so inmature and selfish. As for me, I should just... go on and walk away. 


Be with the man that I love is the only thing that I'm asking now.
