Properties and relationship

Went to have beer with Sofia and Fox yesterday in cafe Belga. Sofia and Luc are planning to buy a duplex appartment, actually they want to buy a house, but the price of property in Belgium climbs up everyday...Also, buying a house together means a lot, many things apparently were taken into consideration, besides, the contract of buying the house, they also have a mutual contract between themselves, what will happen if they go in seperate ways? Selfishly speaking maybe Fox is right, he suggested that Sofia should buy a place of her own, if something happens, she has her own place. But what's about Luc, he probably not feel like the place is his...

Sometimes, I think I live in an ideal world that I build for myself, I don't like to enter into a relationship in the view that it won't last. Thus, there won't be "mine" or "yours", but "OURS". It is a bit in contradictory because I also don't believe in marriage, we never know whether we will love a person for the rest of our lives. But that doesn't mean, we do what we want, there is still trust, honesty, commitment and of course compromises.

Talking about having kids, there are so many things to think of, whether financially we are ready to give our kids a good education, and not selfishly because we want to be parents. On the female point of view, does that person deserve to be the father of our child? a father to be proud of? have we done what we need to do? so we don't regret that kids hold us to follow our dreams? It is all about given, to love in order to be loved.

It is sad that nowadays, some people don't realise how lucky they are to be loved. Anyhow, I don't like to have a relationship where both person calculate the amount of foods, how much money I pay, the oven is mine..bla bla. What about sharing the merry, sickness, and all? Isn't that what love/partnership is all about?sharing and support in all aspect that the chaos of life turns us in...

I bought a house in Namur, well, not really mine, haft of it only and finally can sign in two weeks ;-). It will be for renting after my uncle finishes his house near the commission. His longterm project is to buy a big buidling, renovate and sell it. Look like this will become my long term project, too. He already has a few partners.

This Monday I am invited to go to the Casino in Namur for an Asian show and foods..Apparently Asians are the main customers there, so the Casino decide to organise an evening for us ;-). This is funny because I am not interested in anything that relates to gambling. I remeber when I was small, every New Year occasion, there were a lot of people gambles, different sort of gambles...Even by curiousity, me and my sister went in to have a look, if my mom or grandfather saw us, we were sure to be punished! "You can never be succeeded in your life by starting to gamble", grandpa used to add. That explained why I don't know anything about cards or else...But anyway, will be fun to see the show.
