After having an early dinner with my best friends last Monday, I thought of it again.

We asked each other, "Who do you think would be most likely to get married first?"

And their answer?

ME!

Married? I don't think so, but having a baby, yes.

I mean not in a dirty way.

I'm still a for God's sake.

And I had thought of it since I was 15, that if I won't get engaged at the age of 25, I would adopt a child.

Crazy at that age, I know.

But hey, that's what I thought.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt adopted kids even though they're not married yet, fits me too.

Difference is, I'm single and they're double.

And don't worry, I've been to relationships before and the longest and probably the most memorable was with Kang Jaebin.

Three years just got wasted with just one gun shot.

He died on the day of our engagement party.

How unlucky of me, I know.

Oh, just a reminder. Never trust your body guard or you'll end up just like my "supposed to be husband".

May he rest in peace.

So, here I am today, waiting for the clock to hit twelve, waiting for the last day of July, and my last day as a 25 year old single lady.

The long hand hits twelve, my judgment day.

If I won't get engaged today (witch is a 0 out of 100 since I'm single, it could be a 25 out of 100 if a have a boyfriend though), I'll adopt a baby tomorrow, August 1, my 26th birthday.

And besides, I'm doing it full heartedly.

Have I mentioned that I have already planned whom I will adopt?

I don't think so.

Yeah, so his name is Chinwoon, a 5month old baby boy at the children's shelter near my clinic, oh have I mentioned I'm a dentist?

Again, I don't think so.

I've been visiting the children's shelter since I was 15, after I thought about my plan.

I've prepared myself, and good thing, it was all worth-it cause' that's what's where I am right now.

So that's basically it.

-Hours later-

My alarm clock started to ring telling me it's already 7 in the morning, and today is a Saturday so I'll be on my clinic from 8:30am to 12pm.

I stretched my arms and legs before getting up and went to the bathroom.

40 minutes later I'm already dressed and I'm just putting on some make-up hoping that my eye bags aren't that obvious after staying up late last night.
