Secret Love Nest '23 : The Paper Year

Promises Are Meant To Be Broken Anyways pt1

As per the title suggests, I broke a promise I made to Qing, in just a little over 6 months into our marriage.

Qing is...well...sulking about it. As what I expect he will do. No matter that he is 30 now, he could still act so childish. And I, personally, don't find that off putting. Having one or two childish trait is not a bad thing to have as an adult. We were all young before, if we leave all traces of our youth behind, I think that will be sad. Look at me, I took my childish love for sweets and mischief from my childhood in my adult life and my life is richer because of them.

So yes, I understand why Qing is childishly sulking because I am breaking a promise I made to him.

That promise being that I would forgo doing some serious acting or entertainment work for at least two years after we said our I do's.

You know...the semi retired thing.

I...wait! I think I should pause writing more and talk to our lawyers about something I might disclose here from our prenup agreement.

(You are about to break a clause in your prenup while writing this entry? What?!)

Yeah, I think so. So wait as I consult a lawyer for this.

*pause*

Okay, I'm back from calling our lawyer. We had an interesting conversation about me and this "diary" I have. Let me share some snippets here.

Me: So...I write on an online diary sort of thing.

Lawyer: And?

Me: And I might expose some part of our prenup there...particularly this one...(points a clause in our prenup) That will be a violation to our agreement, right? If I write this on my diary.

Lawyer: This diary of yours...is totally online?

Me: Yes. I post it, like a blog or something.

Lawyer: (confuse) Or something. And others read it? You have readers.

Me: I have some. Maybe one or two.

Lawyer: (looked more confuse) Why...? I...then no.

Me: Why not?!

Lawyer: Because...you two agreed to keep the info on your prenup a secret to others. You signed NDAs for this.

Me: I...okay.

Lawyer: You'll comply, right? Please don't write any sensitive info about your prenups on your online diary. It could be a start of a messy legal fight.

Me: Okay. I get it. Thanks for looking out for me.

Lawyer: Anytime, Sir. And thank you for calling and consulting on us first before writing anything.

Me: Well, I may not be the sharpest knife on the cupboard but I can still cut something.

Lawyer: I understand. Have a great day.

And thats why we will end today's entry here...

I'm joking. Our lawyer said that I could be creative in sharing information. If I write, I should be creative. Thats basically what he said.

So let me be creative by saying that me not working doesn't mean I am not earning anything. I...have monthly stipends. If you search the internet about the word "stipend", which felt like such an old term to be still of use, it basically meant a fixed salary.

Remember that rumor about a famous Hollywood actress who married a famous actor who is significantly older than her and it was said that she receives millions each month by staying married to him? We will never know if that rumor is true but if it is, I would say the rumor could, probably...I'm not trying to confirm anything and this is just me being creative as a writer, be applied to me.
