Frust.

Lately I’ve been waking up feeling agitated because I find new insect bites. Since the new management took over at our apartments, maintenance on bugs have not been done. It is back to how living in Newport Beach all over again. I know we will be moving in 2 months but I cannot take this any longer. We have all sorts of people moving in now and I honestly do not feel safe living here anymore. It used to be quiet and peaceful but that was before. With these new people now, it is so noisy, more people with pets who are not considerate. These dogs bark and bark and bark. One of our neighbor actually leaves their dog out in the balcony the whole day/ night and that poor thing was just barking, howling and whining all day/ night long. My sympathy to the dog quickly became a frustration as that the owner just choose not to solve that issue. I have called numerous times to file a complain; to the management office and the animal control. I haven’t heard that dog bark all weekend which is a rarity since it’s been going for weeks now. Maybe they finally got their citation? if that’s the case, GOOD! At least I get a good night sleep from now on.

On a different note, I noticed a lot of my friends started asking me if I am ready to start a family. In all honesty, if it happens, then it happens.  I am not planning to have a child until the next 4 years. I want us to be financially stable, have a house and have time to travel on our own before we take the next big step. I have to say, married life has been a bliss for me. It feels as though we are still dating at this point – which is a good thing. We have found our middle ground in our relationship. We become more understanding, more responsible towards our actions. I know most of my friends are either about to be engaged, are engaged, planning their wedding, wedding around the corner, married or married with kids. It is weird to see friends I’ve known since I was 14 years old married with a child. We are indeed getting old and it is about time that most of my friends finally settled down and start a family.

It is ungodly amazing how time flies. Things were much simpler when we were younger. I know when I was younger, I always wanted to be a grown up, making my own decisions and having my own place/ career. Now that I am older, I wish I was back in school and things weren’t so complicated. I mean, I was forced to take a nap by my mother on a daily basis. How nice is that? And I had the cheeks to pretend to be asleep because I hated naps. Now, I wish someone will force me to take a nap. Well, hubs do, but it is not the same

Enough ranting. All in all, I cannot wait to move to Irvine and be done with this place.
