Impressions

It is amazing how a person could judge you in mere seconds. In this short period of time, a person can easily create an opinion on who you are based on your clothing, actions and physical appearance. This is what we call "first impressions".These are usually lasting and hard to reverse. Everyone we met may have formed different conclusions about us. It is important that we make a good one because it can set the tone for all the relationships that follows. For example, when poor judgment is casted upon us, a probable friendship can be jeopardized by a conclusion. So, we should always be careful on what we do around people but without losing our individuality.

Move On Tips :)

Move On:

Tip #1. Huwag magpadala sa awa.

-huwag kang maawa sa kanya o sa sarili mo. Kasi the more na naaawa ka sa kanya, the more na babalik ang pagmamahal mo.

Tip #2. Never ask yourself "paano kung.."

-Never doubt. Panindigan mo na. Sa una masakit talaga, pero lilipas din yan. Maraming nasasaktan sa salitang "paano kung.."

ex. Paano kung mahal niya talaga ako? Paano kung hindi talaga siya manloloko?

Tip #3. Don't read his/her text messages.

-masasaktan ka lang. maaawa ka lang. manghihinayang ka lang. huwag ka nang magreply. or better magpalit ka ng sim card.Try niyo Red Mobile. Konti lang may ganun.

Tip #4. Burahin siya sa FB o Friendster (kung may ganun pa)

-kahit anong komunikasyon. Wag kang mag-alala kung sabihan kang bitter, bakit? kapag ba sinabihan kang bitter magiging kayo uli? ikayayaman mo ba? ok lang yun! burahin mo na siya. huwag na huwag papasok sa utak mo ang salitang "Kasi naman" at "Sayang, ano ba yan!"

Tip #5. Burahin lahat ng picture niya sa Facebook, sa cellphone, psp, ipod.

-sunugin ang picture niya na nasa wallet mo. punitin. itapon at apak-apakan. pati mga sinave mong text niya (gawain ko) burahin mo na! Bawal manghinayang ok! Kung gusto makamove on, gawin ito ng taos sa puso, sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa.

Tip #6. Patayin ang ka-landi-uling sa katawan.

-huwag padala sa sweet words. kapag pinatulan mo, tignan mo, wasak ka! Patayin ang apoy!

Tip #7. Huwag maniwala sa puso. Maniwala lamang sa isip.

-sa ganitong sitwasyon, hayaan mo munang manaig ang ISIP kaysa sa PUSO. Dahil ang utak, tinuturuan kang maging matapang ngunit ang puso tinuturuan kang sumuko, maawa at magmahal. "Ang Isip at Ang Puso" Bow.

Tip #8. Makinig sa mga sinasabi ng iba pero mas makinig ka muna sa sinasabi ng puso't isip mo.

-huwag ka padadala agad sa mga sinasabi ng iba. Sa mga sinasabi nila tungkol sa inyo. Sarili mo lang ang makakatulong sayo upang tuluyan mo siyang makalimutan

Tip #9. Aliwin ang sarili.

-ituon ang sarili sa ibang bagay para makalimot. Magbasa ng Narnia or Twilight Saga na libro, taasan ang level ni Sam sa Cityville, panoorin ang Wishlist at gawan ito ng book report, idrowing si Agua o kaya si Nita Negrita, bumili sa CDRking ng kahit ano (for sure, mahaba habang hintayan ang mangyayari) Pumunta sa Mang Inasal at umorder ng PM2. Basta aliwin mo ang sarili mo.

Tip #10. Matuto. Magpahinga. Mag-isip. Magmahal muli.

-Moving on isn't about never looking back, it's about taking a glance at the past and seeing how much you've grown since then.

A Perfect Partner....

A perfect partner in life is someone you can be with and talk about anything without realizing that the day was over, someone who will always listen and feel twice the joy or pain you’re going through. When you start to feel that connection, hold on to it and never let it go. There’s more to companionship than to love only, because in the end, when all else fails and are consumed, you will always hold on to those times when you don’t even need to hear the words “I love you.”

What is Politics?

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is politics?"

Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the people. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense,"

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."

The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."

The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep po."

Bitter...

‘Wag mong iwan ang taong MAHAL mo at lubos na nagmamahal sa’yo para sa taong GUSTO mo na hindi ka naman mahal…

dahil baka iwan ka lang ng taong GUSTO mo para sa taong MAHAL niya.

Karma ang tawag diyan.

Naiinis ako sa mga taong hindi pa kuntento sa taong lubos na nagmamahal sa kanya at maghahanap pa ng iba. Kung maghahanap ka pa ng iba, maaaring magsisi ka sa bandang huli. Ikaw din ang mawawalan. Ikaw din ang manghihinayang. Ikaw din ang magmumukhang kawawa.

Bakit ka pa maghahanap ng iba kung mahal mo naman siya, at mahal ka naman niya? Nagsasawa ka na ba? kaya maghahanap ka ng panibago ngunit hindi mo naman talaga mahal?

Sa bandang huli mari-realize mo rin na “Ay, bakit ko siya pinakawalan?”, “Siya talaga ang para sa akin”, “Bakit pa kasi ako naghanap ng iba?”, “Ang tanga tanga ko talaga”.

---

bitter ako eh. -_-

I Wish Men Were Blind So They Can Look Through Their Heart

Wala pa ata akong nakikilalang lalaki na di nagrereklamo sa itsura at pananamit ng mga babae. Mapa- boyfriend, kaibigan, asawa, o kahit nga di mo kilala may sasabihin at sasabihin talaga. Bakit kaya ganun? Siguro, matatawa kayo sa susunod kong sasabihin kasi alam niyong totoo. ;)

Nag-date kayo ng boyfriend mo. Nung pagdating mo eh bigla nalang sinumpong. Di mo alam kung bakit di ka na niya pinapansin yun pala, dahil sa suot mong pakitang legs. Sasabihin niyang "malaswa" ang suot mo o di naman pagbibintangan ka pa niyang na gusto mo lang eh mang-akit ng ibang mga lalaki. Oh sige. Fine. Check. May point nga siya. Sinasadya mo man o hindi, magiging ganun nga ang dating o sitwasyon. Pero nakaka-BV naman siguro diba kung magka-HHWW (holding hands while walking) kayo nang biglang may dumaan na pesteng este babaeng naka-pekpek shorts. Hawak mo nga ang kanyang kamay, pero sa kanya naman nakatingin, tumutulo pa ang laway!

Next case scenario. Long straight at simple lang naman ang ayos ng buhok mo. Isang araw, bigla nalang sinabi ng boyfriend mo sa'yo na na-bobored na siya sa "safe" mong look. Eh ikaw naman si uto-uto, nag-experiment ka naman ng kung anu-ano! Nagpakulot ka o nagpagupit ng buhok o nagpakulay naman. Your my wish is my command nga naman diba? Pagkalabas na pagkalabas mo ng salon bigla nalang niyang sasabihin, "Di bagay" o "Masgusto ko ang dati mong look." O____O

Bakit kaya ganun? Nanligaw ka pa kayo kung gusto niyo lang pala akong baguhin! Ikaw yung tipong babaeng malakas kumain pero napipilitang mag-diet dahil baka iwanan o pagpalitan ng syota pag tumaba. At kahit pa sabihin niyang, "Mahal kita kung ano ka man" 'pag kasama naman ang barkada, ang daming kalokohang ginagawa! Magrereklamo na "tumataba na si ganito" o di kaya "tang ina pare, ang payat masyado ni *insert girlfriend's name here* di nakaka-turn on" o masmalala, mangchichicks!

Tinatanong niyo siguro kung paano ako nakakasigurado at ba't ko 'to alam? Eh nagka-boyfriend din naman ako. At kahit alam kong di niya aaminin, madami siyang gustong baguhin sa mga panlabas kong aspeto. May mga lalaki din akong mga kaibigan at kabarkada, at yun na nga ang nangyayari. Pinag-uusapan ang syota. Wooo. Nung nanliligaw palang, halos sambahin at gawing diyosa pero pag naging sila na, panay ang reklamo, panay gustong baguhin! Tama ba ako o tama ba ako? Haha.

DOWNFALL DIYAN: Demanding ang mga lalaki - gusto straight, gusto kulot, gusto long, gusto short, gusto payat, gusto chubby, gusto simple, gusto fashionista. Ay naku, ewan! Ano ba talaga?! Di ba pwedeng sabihin nalang na, "Kahit ganito ka. Kahit ganyan ka. Kahit ano ka pa. Maganda ka at mahal na mahal kita."

Maraming babae ang sasang-ayon dito. Madaming lalakeng eepal. Pero sad to say, di naman kami mga tanga. Di niyo siguro napapansin na unconsciously, ginagawa niyong living breathing Barbie doll ang mga girlfriend niyo. Di naman namin kayo ma-blablame kasi nga "naka-hardwire" na diyan sa mga kukute niyo na ganun kayo mag-function. Eh di sana nag'malfunction nalang kayo kung ganun! Haha. Pero di nga. Balang araw siguro marerealize no rin. Pag kaming mga babae na ang mag-demand ng kung anu-sno sa inyo. And mind you, masakit 'tol. Masakit na masakit pag di ka kayang tanggapin kung sino at kung ano ang meron at wala ka ng mahal mo.

Rebound Relationship

Madalas nangyayari pagkatapos ng break up.

Dinadaan nila sa ganyang sitwasyon ang sakit na naramdaman nila para mabawasan ang sakit kahit papaano.

Parang panakip-butas kumbaga.

Minsan, ito ay isang magandang paraan para madali kang makamove-on. Kung nagtagumpay kayo sa relasyon niyo, maaaring nakamove on ka na talaga at maaaring mahal mo na rin yung taong iyon.

Pero minsan din ay; mas mahihirapan ka at masasaktan ka pa lalo, lalo na kung hindi mo pa talaga kayang kalimutan yung taong iyon. Hindi lang ikaw ang masasaktan, ang totoo ay mas lalo mong masasaktan yung taong ni-rebound mo lalo na kapag nalaman niyang panakip-butas lang siya.

Sa Isang Relasyon…

(BF+GF)

Hindi maiiwasang magkatampuhan, mag-away o magkairingan dahil sa mga gusot na nangyari.

Ang kailangan niyo lang gawin, mag-usap kayo ng masinsinan at huwag idaan sa hiwalayan.

Kailangan niyo ng tiwala sa isa’t isa.

Pero paano nga ba makukuha yang “tiwala” na yan sa isa’t isa?

Syempre, kailangan mong maging ‘honest’ at ‘loyal’ sa kanya, dahil sa oras na niloko at nagsinungaling sa kanya, mawawalan na siya ng tiwala sa’yo at ang ‘patience’ nalang ang magpapatatag sa relasyon niyo.

Pasensya.

Lahat naman kasi tayo nagkakamali diba? Kaya kung mawala man ang tiwala mo sa kanya, dapat mo pa rin siyang patawarin at magkaroon ng mahabang pasensya. Pero minsan, umaabuso, kung umabuso man… Desisyon mo yun kung mapapatawad mo pa siya.

Ispasyo

Minsan, kailangan magpakalayo muna at hayaang ‘cool-off’ muna ang relasyon niyo. Makakatulong ito para tayo’y makapagisip-isip at para maliwanagan ang ating isipan. At dadating ang oras na malalaman mo ang mga kamalian.

Eh, kung mahal niyo naman talaga ang isa’t isa, bale wala yang mga hadlang at mga problema na dumadating sa inyo e. Kung mahal niyo talaga ang isa’t isa… Dapat talaga kayo gumawa ng paraan para magkaayos, at isipin niyong mas importante ang pagmamahal kaysa isipin ang mga walang kwentang bagay.

Sa Barkada Merong...

Joker

-Sila yung masarap kasama. Sasakit tiyan mo sa  kakatawa dahil sa sense of humor nila. Nang dahil sa kanila, masaya ang barkada. Kahit seryoso ang usapan, isisingit niya yung pagpapatawa niya para maging masaya kahit papaano. Pero minsan, sila yung may malaking problema sa isang barkada, dinadaan nalang niya sa tawa o sa pagpapatawa ang kanilang lungkot para kahit papaano, hindi siya masyadong malungkot kapag kasama ang barkada.

KJ

-Ang mga kj o ‘Kill joy’, sila yung panira ng trip. Madalas wala sa lakad ng barkada dahil sa ayaw niya o pinagbabawalan ng mga magulang.

Pilosopo

-Palaging namimilosopo o nagiging ‘Sarcastic’ dahil idol nila si Vice ganda lol.

Minsan nakakabanas sila, pero minsan matatawa ka rin naman. Masarap din silang kasama (kapag iba yung pinipilosopo nila) pero pag ikaw ang trip niya, maaasar ka talaga.

Bully

-Mga mapang-asar. Nakakainis kapag trip na trip ka talaga niya. Pero wag kang mapipikon, pagpasensyahan mo nalang.

Drama Queen

-Iyakin, palaging may problema kaya umiiyak, laging trip ng mga Bully. 

Sensitive masyado.

MakaBF/MakaGF

-Palaging kasama ang syota, kaya ang syota belong na rin sa barkada. Minsan walang oras sa barkada dahil binubuhos niya ang oras niya sa kanyang syota.

Madalas rin silang mangiwan ng barkada dahil may lakad sila. Pero pag naghiwalay, iiyak siya at sa barkada pa rin ang bagsak niya.

Galante

-Pinakamayaman sa barkada. Palaging nanlilibre. Pwede mong malapitan kapag may problema ka sa pera, pero wag mong samantalahin ang pagiging mapagbigay niya. Dahil baka isipin niya na kabarkada niyo siya dahil lang sa pera niya.

“Libre niyo naman ako” Girl/Boy

-Gusto laging nililibre. Pinakakuripot sa barkada. Gustong gusto makasama sa lakad ng barkada, pero walang budget kaya minsan hindi siya nakakasama. Palaging nagpapalibre sa mga Galante.

For Once...

For once… I wanna be the reason why he cuts his hair, just because I told him so. The reason why he eats something just because it’s my favorite food. The reason why he buys a shirt just because I have the same design. The reason why he falls asleep while holding his phone at night. The reason why he love something he used to hate because I love it. And lastly, I wanna be the reason why he smiles, laughs. I wanna be the because of his every whys.

I Wanna Love Someone...

I wanna love someone who’d get me drunk to make me realize that it’s BAD. Someone I could run to if I’m with a fight with my mom, and just bring me home after giving me some “sermon”. Someone who could stop my mouth from talking bad words. Someone who would stop me from having gimmicks. Someone who’d feed me the whole day with sweet kisses. And mostly, someone who would fight for me, be proud of me, and love me for who I am.

You know what's cute?

I find it adorable when someone remembers the littlest details about you. It’s cute when that person takes the time and effort to surprise you with the things you don’t remember telling them about. It’s like they’ve read your mind. The kind of person that pays attention to what you say just so they can use it to their advantage in order to put a smile on your face. I love those thoughtful people who go out of their ways just so they can make you happy.

Ligaw-Tingin

Ako’y nagtatanong kung bakit

Di ka mawala sa aking isip?

Pag andyan ka, puso’t isip ko’y ligalig

Sa kadahilanang ikaw ay aking ibig.

Gusto kita pero nakahiyaan kong sabihin,

Sabihing ako’y iyong pansinin.

Kahit panadaliang pagpansin

Ay sapat na sa akin.

Ngunit kay ilap ng pagkakataon,

Kahit di pansinin ay sapat na sa akin,

Ang ika’y masulyapan sa tuwina

Ay katumbas na langit na saya.

Limutin ka’y di ko yata magagawa,

Nabihag ang puso kong sumisinta

Ng iyong mga matang ka’y lalim kong tumingin

At mga pangungusap na kaysarap imisin.

Ano pa man, sana iyong madama,

Madama na ako’y umiibig sa’yo sinta.

Sinta ko, sana iyong mapansin

Ang sa iyo’y aking ligaw-tingin.

Before...

Before I never knew what love was...

I was happy then,

I enjoyed being single,

I was strong and nobody got the best in me.

I was a fighter, that was until I met him...

I lost all my defenses.

I was more happy and joyful.

But in the end he made me experience something I thought I would never know... PAIN.

Now, I want to be like before...

Strong and happy and I wish I never knew what love was...

PS I Love You (Quotes)

"Finding someone you love and who loves you back is a wonderful, wonderful feeling. But finding a true soul mate is an even better feeling. A soul mate is one who understands you like no other, loves you like no other, will be there for you forever, no matter what. They say that nothing lasts forever, but I am a firm believer in the fact that for some, love lives on even after we're gone."

A Friend Just Told Me...

Carry yourself in such a way that when people are sitting, you would be STANDING.

And when they are standing, you will STAND OUT;

and when they stand out, you'll be OUTSTANDING;

and when they dare to be outstanding, you will be their STANDARD. :)

Lessons on Love

Sometimes, in our incessant efforts to find the person we love, we fail to see and appreciate the people who love us. We would miss out on so many wonderful things simply because we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own selfish concerns. We keep on looking so far away when all we needed to do was look behind us.

They say that one will find rewarding happiness not with the the man she loves but with the man who loves her more. To "go for the man of deeds and not for the man of words". I believe that the best lovers are those who are capable of loving from a distance --far enough to allow the other person to grow, but never too far to feel the love within your being.

When you let someone go, it doesnt necessarily mean you have to stop loving that person. It only means that you're allowing that person to find his/her own happiness without expecting him/her to come back. To let go is not just setting that other person free, but yourself as well --- you are setting yourself free from all the bitterness, hatred, and anger that you may keep in your heart.

Bitterness may rare away your strength and weaken your faith. The experience of pain may dishearten you, but you shouldnt allow that. Instead, it should let you grow in wisdom bearing it. Pain will only make us stronger, wiser.

Sometimes, we'd think that we have found peace in just loving someone from a distance not expecting anything in return. But though this can sustain life, it can never give us enough room to grow. We tend to be stuck in the past that we sometimes end up losing ourselves. We can all survive with just beautiful memories of the past but then again, real peace and happiness will only come once we've accepted of what reality is today.

Then there comes a time in our lives when we chance upon someone we get so intensely attracted to. This attraction soon becomes part of our daily lives and eventually consumes our thoughts and our actions. The sad part of it is when we begin to realize that this person feels nothing for us and all they can offer is a platonic relationship. We start our desperate attempts to get noticed and be closer but in the end, all our efforts are unrewarded and we end up just feeling sorry for ourselves.

One doesnt really need to forget someone he/she has fallen for. What is needed though, is to learn to accept reality without being bitter or sorry for yourself. Trust me, you would be better off giving that dedication and love to someone MORE DESERVING. Dont let your heart run your life. Ive made that mistake before. We should learn to be sensible and let our minds speak for itself. Listen not only to your feelings but to reason as well... you'd be surprised at how irratinal one is when letting emotions run her life.

Always keep in mind that if you lose someone today, it only means that someone better is coming tomorrow. Or next week. Or next year. Who knows? Be patient. It will come. If you lose love, it doesnt mean that you failed in love. CRY is you have to. Cry til your eyes run dry but make sure all those tears wash away all the hurt, the hate and the bitterness that the past has left with you.. Let go of yesterday and love will find its way back to you. And when it does, pray that it may be the love that will stay and last a lifetime.

as for me, I'm still waiting.... but i know that when HE comes, everything will be worth it. :)

Cliche...

time heals all wounds.. its better to have loved and lost that never to have loved at all.. so cliche. but then again,

"Almost every cliché contains a truth so profound that people have been compelled to repeat it until it makes you roll your eyes. But the wisdom is still in there."

--anonymous

what else are some lines, more often than not are so cliche but are so true?

4. Leave her voice messages to wake up to.
5. Wrestle with her

Starbucks Galore

Starbucks galore at Ayala Center, Cebu City, May 15, 2011 with LJ. I am already "POOR" that time but because we only have few days left in the city, she will already go back home to Tacloban and I to Manila, I grab the chance to let her (LJ) experience Starbucks coffee. Her's a Mocha Frappuccino while I a Caramel Frappuccino.

 Lecil Jane (First time sa Starbucks! Hahaha)

Me!!! Not my first time. Hahaha :)

Because of Starbucks, I fell in loved to iced coffee.

It's worth the experience especially seeing her "happy-sipping" her coffee.

Five Fingers...

I’ve never heard about this before but when I read it I thought it was too beautiful not to share to the world…

The Five Fingers Prayer

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a “sweet duty.”

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God’s guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger; as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger; the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and to others. As the Bible says, “the least shall be the greatest among you.” Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

God Bless you all!!!

Things Guys Should Know About Girls

This was written by a GUY..daw.

anyway. here it goes. i decided to add some thoughts also, in italic :)

THINGS GUYS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GIRLS

1. Whatever you do, don't just show up at their house [without notice]...they run around in their underwear just like we do. ---yeah, and better to give a heads up coz you'll never know, she may not even be at home..

2. DON'T CHEAT ON THEM. It may seem foolproof, but girls tell each other everything about everything. Trust me, they WILL find out and will be mad.

3. Beware of every single male relative and all guy friends. Any of them would kick your ass at the drop of a hat, and a lot of them wouldn't even wait for the hat. ---hahaha most especially BIG BROTHERS!! and the friends of the brother/s! so make sure that before making ligaw, you must have pure intentions! coz you might get your ass kicked if you break her heart :p

4. NEVER miss an opportunity to tell them they're beautiful. -- girls, if someone tells you you're beautiful, dont naman say "hindi ah"..just say thanks... come on, its a compliment... :) ayaw mo nun, maganda ka daw?? :p

5. DON'T refuse to kiss in front of your friends. If they laugh at you, it's because they're jealous. --it would mean you're proud of her... and your relationship with her. pero not naman todo kiss as in torrid or something. a simple peck or a kiss on the cheek would suffice.

6. If they slap you hard, you deserved it. --HELL YEAH!!!! 

7. Don't be afraid to touch them if you want to. If they're going out with you in the first place, it's because they like being in your arms. --uhmmm... yeah BUT this just means the simple akbays or holding of the hand.. but (Again), if u take her hand and she slowly removes her hands away, then dont force it.. it will come. it means she's not comfy yet

8. If you don't sleep with them, DO NOT tell your friends that you did. --- they'll find out that you're lying anyway

9. If you DO sleep with them, DON'T tell your friends that you did. --- dont kiss and tell. its so tacky.

10. You can be dirty minded in private, really...most of them are not offended by it... --- some girls have greener minds than guys.

11. Not all of them eat like birds, a lot of them can eat like whales. --ouch. i dont naman eat like a whale. hahahahha. but yeah, not all girls only have salads. alot of us actually eat. and some even eat red meat (esp steaks) like you guys.

12. Most of them don't mind paying half of everything, but they do discuss these things with their friends. Realize that if you make your girlfriend pay half all the time, everyone will know about it and your friends will know you're a pussy.. --esp if she's making money as well..altho, its better if she offers first. or if you've agreed to it na.

13. Every girl should eventually get three things from her boyfriend- a stuffed animal, ONE OF HIS SWEATSHIRTS, and a really PRETTY RING. Even if it's not a serious relationship. -- well, honestly, i dont think its these 3 necessarily. it could be a cute pillow, a nice necklace or whatever.. but yeah, a pretty ring is always nice. helo it wont mean naman that youre engaged right away noh. sometimes its nice to wear some sort of ring given by a loved one

14. Make sure she gets home safely as often as you can. If you're dropping her off, walk her to the door. If you aren't dropping her off, call to be sure she's home safely. --need i say anything more?

15. If a guy is bothering her, it is your right to beat the shit out of him. --yes please.

16. If you're talking to a female friend of yours, PULL YOUR GIRLFRIEND CLOSER.(MEN, JUST DO THIS IF YOU LOVE YOUR WOMAN OKAY, YOU KNOW THEY'RE SENSITIVE) --us girls tend to be a bit insecure and jealous when you're with other girls..even if we know theyre just your friends..

17. NEVER, ever slap her, even if it's just in a joking way. Even if she swats you first, and says, "Oh, you're so dumb" or something, never make any gestures back. -- guys should never hit girls. ever.

18. Go to a chick flick once in a while. She doesn't care whether you enjoy it or not, it just matters that you went. --i admire guys who would watch chick flicks jsut to please their girl. hey, if we can watch your action packed movies, im sure u can watch our chickflicks too! its all about being together and spending time with each other naman eh...

19. You're dead meat if you can't get along with their pets, parents, and best friends. Be prince charming to their friends, Mr. Polite to their parents, and make sure to be nice to their animals. -- friends and family will always be over protective of their "princess". if they think you're no good....... then goodbye!

20. Don't flirt with their moms...that's just freaky. ---ew.

21. Don't be freaked out by PMS. It's not gross, and it really does make them feel like shit, so be understanding. --- pms is the worst. you have to be suuuppppeeerrrrr patient. girls tend to be emotional, or super sungit. depends actually. and we always feel fat and ugly.

22. If you don't like the way they drive, you do it.

23. Don't stress where you go for every date. They really only want to be with you.

24. If they complain that something hurts, rub it for them WITHOUT being asked. --know when to take hints :)

25. Girls are fragile. Even if you're play fighting/wrestling, be very gentle.

26. Memorize their birthdays. You forget her birthday and you're basically screwed for life. --and anniversaries.

27. Don't marinade the cologne, but smell good.

28. Don't give her something stupid for her birthday or Christmas or Valentine's day. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be meaningful.

29. If you think the relationship isn't going to last, don't wait to find out. It will only hurt her more if you draw it out.

30. After you've been dating for a while, realize that they really have started to trust you. When you have a girlfriend who truly trusts you, you have a lot more responsibility, privilege and control than you would think. Be careful with it, most guys would kill for that kind of power, and it can be lost in a nanosecond. --once you lose our trust.... its hard VERY HARD to regain that.

31. NEVER, and i mean NEVER make her do anything she doesn't wanna do. Because if you do she'll think that you're only after one thing. --its funny how most of the time, the "di-makabasag-pinggan" demure girls are the wild ones and the ones whom you thought were so liberated and what not are the real conservative ones.

so there.

No One Can Replace My Mother

All my life,
There was a person who stood by me,
Someone who nurtured me, gave me wisdom, strength, and joy
Someone who understand me, as I speak my mind
Someone who give me freedom and let me drift in the sea of life.

Her gentle and motherly touch,
Can take away any physical pain and burden,
She is someone I look up to
Someone I admire the most.

Her dedication for being a mother
As a lifetime career is incomparable.
She is my sister, my bestfriend, my teacher, my confidante.
No one compares to her.
No one can replace my mother!

45 Lessons Life Taught Me

(If it's in bold, then it means it is something that I, myself have learned in life too :))


Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written." My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it..

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you, really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone, everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."

Crap

Dedicated to everyone who needs some words of encouragement…

“When an emotional injury takes place,

The body begins a process

As natural as the healing

Of a physical wound

Let the process happen.

Trust that nature

Will do the healing.

Know that the pain will pass,

And, when it passes

You will be stronger;

Happier, more sensitive and aware.”

There was this girl who always dreamed of having someone… someone to hold… someone to lean on… someone to love… and someone to share the rest of her days with. Then suddenly out of nowhere, someone came along… someone that made her life worth living for… someone that made her feel complete… they were lost in their own world… staring deeply into each others eyes… sharing laughter and tears… but it didn’t end there. They had so many memories to look back on… through letters, to pictures, to trials and tribulations… nothing tears them apart… till fate stepped in. There was the girl, lying on the ground crying in a river of tears… “How could this happen? How her only love could deceive her, was the love she give him not enough? What did she do wrong? Then she stopped crying, wiped the last tear on her cheek and ask help from above… and soon she began to realize that after awhile a person will learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, then she will learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, and then she learns that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and finally she would begin to accept her defeats with her head up and her eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, then she would learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much… so the girl finally decided to plant her own garden and decorate her own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring flowers, she then told herself, I can endure, I am strong. I have worth.

Well you see life is trial and error, we win some we lose some, but through it all we learn to accept, to forgive, and to have the courage to say… life goes on.

In this world of Super Pokes and virtual hugs, love can surprise you in so many ways. This site chronicles little pieces of cardboard with notes from a boy who loves his girlfriend - so much that he shares it with the world (wide web). The sweet cardboard notes remind me of old-school love letters. It's nice to know that love still lives in the digital age.
