opposites attract

this photo was taken last week when i was waiting for the emission testing and annual registration of my car. i wasn't in the mood to dress up for work so i basically jumped out of bed, took a quick shower, hid my hair in a headband, wore my favorite shirt and black leggings. i think my blue bag saved the outfit (it's a christmas gift from harry in 2009 -- which i pre-chose by the way as he is so clueless about shopping! LOL) 

before harry, i've been single for 5 years --- dating but no commitments. i've had my heart broken a couple of times because a guy couldn't commit to me -- intimidated by me, the way i think and my strong personality. i tend to be irrational, sarcastic, be tomboy, a perfectionist, spontanoues, moody, aggressive,  and...smarter?haha! let's just say i laughed at picked up lines to guys' faces sometimes intentionally. and welp, i don't dress as simple as other typical girls too. i got frustrated with going home alone everyday that i asked our manager who was a good friend if there is something wrong with me. he told me, "well, maybe you need someone stronger than you. who can control you."

oh, he was so wrong! i didn't need someone who can control me, i needed someone who would complement me. i got the guy of my dreams and more. harry and i are total opposites in pretty weird (and funny) ways. 

i drive = he cooks the dinner. 

i love sports and was an athlete = he was an orator and a student body president. 

i love technology = he loves history. 

i love punk rock, brit rock, indie and new wave music = he loves oldies and standards.

i am health conscious = he doesn't even love wheat bread (LOL)

i love change and spontaneity = he likes to be safely where he is now

i love the beach = he loves the mountains

i tend to freak out easily = he stays calm

i like dogs = he likes cats

but you see, even with our opposite loves and personalities, we mesh well because we respect and support each other. and i have never been happier.
