I don't care to count the number of times the number of people who've previously told me "you should learn to cook!", the main reason being I'm a girl, and girls should know how to - presumably to cook for their husbands in the future. And many a time, those words have fallen on deaf ears, with me agreeing that I should, without really doing much about it. Finally, the day has come! I guess if I'm not taken out of my comfort zone, I wouldn't do it. Why would I, when my mom monopolizes the kitchen (and worries when I'm using it for fear that I'll mess the place up)? At least now I have fun learning to, and my friend said that I'm more confident at cooking these days. :) Labels: food, Japan, relationships
Another friend also made me realise, learning to cook and doing my own laundry has made me more marketable in the marriage market. I agree! It's like, yeah, my stakes are higher now! So maybe washing machines at home don't run automatically after you drop in a 100yen coin, but at least I do hang the wash, and fold the laundry... I even do vacuuming, albeit rarely, haha. All these make my domestic future seem more promising.
Now, I just need to find someone to marry...
But on a more serious note, finding someone to marry isn't as difficult as finding someone with whom the marriage will be a lasting one.
