Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

It was raining heavily dis afternoon and i couldnt quite understand why i tend to choose a spaghetti strapped dress designed just like for preggy peeps..actually that dress is one of my favorite because it really is very light and so comfortable to wear …dat was d first dress i saw inside my cabinet and due to laziness i wore it quickly before i could change my mind..i wasnt wearing anything else but dat dress unmindful of d rain dat poured after we got on inside d car…d result…i was freezing cold due to the weather outside, the thin fabric that im wearing and the cold inside due to the car’s airconditioning!!! grrrrrr….talk about wrong move, huh?!?!?we were heading towards d MARINA mall to find Class A imitations of signature bags (e.g Louis Vuitton, Coach, Guess etc) since my aunt who came all d way from d states is just too eager to get her own stuff of imitation bags..hehe unfortunately, there was a schedule for raid in dat area so most of d stalls who sell imitations were closed…huhuhu so we changed destination and we planned to go to Opon’s own version of TABO sa BANAY located near d Birhen sa Regla church in lapu-lapu city wearing this preggy looking dress…(u know d kind dat looks like a duster and d waist go up right below ur bosom)…as i was shifting along d long lines of blouses hanging up each stalls, a familiar looking guy looked right through me then looked down…he just frowned and walked away..it felt weird but i continued looking through d piles of clothes to purchase until a vendor walked up to me saying "that blouse looked good on u even if ur pregnant!!!!!" whoa!!!!!!!!!!!! u just can imagine my grief…huhuhu i admit i’ve gained so much weight lately but i never expected sumbody wud ever give me dat "COMPLIMENT"… now, i really have to lose weight fast!!! i cant anymore bear to hear many people telling me i looked like im pregnant because of gaining so much weight.it’s much bearable for me to be told dat i looked like im an addict for being so skinny dan to be told pregnant because of excessive weight gain!!!! HUHUHU one good lesson i’ve learned from dis experience: NEVER WEAR PREGGY LOOKING DRESS ESPECIALLY WHEN U R ON UR HEAVIEST WEIGHT!!!!

Only Time Will Tell………….

Monday, June 12th, 2006

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge, and all the others, including love.

One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help.

Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?"
Richness answered, " I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere."
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel.
Love cried out, "Vanity, help me please."

"I can’t help you", Vanity said, "You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat."
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by.
Love said, "Sadness, please let me go with you."
Sadness answered, "Love, I’m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now."
Then, Love saw Happiness.

Love cried out, " Happiness, please take me with you."
But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him. Love began to cry.

Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.

Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?"
"It was Time", Knowledge answered.
"But why did Time help me when no one else would?", Love asked.

Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered,
"Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Are You Kissing a Frog and Think That He’ll Turn into a PRINCE??!?!?!

Sunday, June 11th, 2006

I stumbled into one of an eye-catching article on the net about KISSING Frogs…hehehe it’s kinda interesting and worth reading! it’s very short but it would surely give u some insights about u and ur present relationship with your partner..or if u haven’t found a partner yet, just take this as an advice on how to prevent finding MR. Frog and go out of your way in finding ur TRUE PRINCE!! Here it is…ENJOY READING!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ARE YOU DATING A FROG? THINK HE’LL TURN INTO A PRINCE?? FROGEDDABOUTIT!!

Now is the perfect time for women to take stock of their love lives. Did you spend celebrating your special holidays alone? Are you stuck in a dead-end relationship? Do you always hook up with bad boys? And most important — Are you dating a “keeper” or a “leaper?”

Relationship expert and author, Marilyn Anderson, reveals how women can leap away from the wrong men in 2005. She teaches women how to recognize FROGS – the human kind - at first sight. Ms. Anderson says forget the old myth: “You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince. “No way,” she says. “The truth is, you can’t find a prince if you’re busy kissing frogs!”

With wit and wisdom, Marilyn discusses the TOP 10 FROGS, including:

THE-LONG-TERM-GO-NOWHERE FROG:
This is the guy who’s always there, he’s just never there to say “I do.” If you’ve been together for years and there’s no ring to decorate your finger - it’s time to re-decorate your love life. He’s not commitment-phobic – he’s commitment-frogic. Quick, before Valentine’s Day, throw him back in the swamp so you can meet your prince.

COUNT FROGULA:
You think you love him, but he always makes you miserable. When he leaves your house, you cry. In fact, when he’s AT your house, you cry. Then, when you cry, he leaves your house. He’s Count Frogula because… any guy who drains the life out of you…. sucks!

DR. JEKYLL & MR. TOAD:
When you’re in public – he’s sweet, loving and wonderful. But when you’re home alone together, he turns into a mean and cold bully frog. Here’s a Wart Warning: If he’s got a split personality – you should be the one to split.

CROAK & DAGGER:
He won’t tell you where he lives, where he works, or what he does. And he won’t give you his phone number - he can call you, but you can’t call him. Remember, mystery men can be exciting – but if he’s mysterious for too long… you should be the one to disappear!

THE OBSESSED-WITH-HIS-EX FROG:
He talks about his ex all the time. He shows you her picture, plays their favorite song, and takes you to their favorite restaurant. Then, when you cook him dinner, he wants you to do it “her” way. And that beautiful engraved bracelet he gave you…has her initials on it! Here’s a Ribbet Snippet: If he can’t get her out of his mind – get him out of yours.

Ms. Anderson cautions women: If you’re playing leapfrog with any of these men, wake up and smell the swamp water! Keep your life away from frogs and move on to find your Prince!

then it’s love

13. Do you cry for their pain, even when they’re strong?
then it’s love

14. Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply, it hurts?
then it’s love

15. Do you stay because a blinding incomprehensible mix of pain, and elations pulls you close and hold you?
then it’s love

16. Are you attracted to others but stay with them faithfully with no regrets?
then it’s love

17. Would you give them your heart, your life, your death?
then it’s love

18. And always remember - love isn’t one sided!! - Both must love for LOVE to exist!

If You Are SAD, Who Comes To Your MIND FIRST?

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

There was this guy who loved two gals at the same time but he didn’t know which one he loved more. Someone taught him.

Ask yourself this question and answer it honestly :

"When you are happy, which person would you want to share your happiness with?" The one you think of is someone you love.

Ask yourself another question and answer it honestly :

"When you are sad, which person you want to share your burden with?" The one you think of is also someone you love.

If you think of the same person when you are happy & sad, that’s the most perfect. But if you don’t think of the same person, I would advise you to chose the one you are willing to share your sadness with.

In life, there are more sorrows than happiness. There are too many people that u meet that u can share your happiness with, not necessary your lover.

If you live your life happily, you can also enjoy it alone.

In sadness, however, there are not many people willing to share your burden with you. If you are willing to tell someone your happiness, I am sure that person has got to be someone close & an understanding person to you.

But it shouldn’t stop there. If that person only thinks of you when she/he is happy, but looks for someone else when she/he is sad, this lover is too unstable, she/he doesn’t treat you as someone she/he can spend the rest of her/his life with.

Of course, I will be very happy if I am the first person to share her/his happiness. But, if she/he is sad, I will be too willing to stay by her/his side & ease her/his pain. Only then, will I believe that I hold a very important position in her/his heart.

If you are sad, who comes to your mind first?

Learning the Hard Way in Life….

Tuesday, June 6th, 2006

RULE 1.

Life is not fair; get used to it.

RULE 2.

The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you
to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

RULE 3.

You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school OR
college. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone, until you earn
both.

RULE 4.

If you think your teacher is tough, wait until you get a boss. He
doesn’t have tenure.

RULE 5.

Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a
different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

RULE 6.

If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your
mistakes, learn from them.

RULE 7.

Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now.
They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and
listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the
rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try
"delousing" the closet in your own room.

RULE 8.

Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has
not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they’ll give
you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear
the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

RULE 9.

Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very
few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on
your own time.

RULE 10.

Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave
the coffee shop and go to jobs.

RULE 11.

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.

I’ve Learned That……..

Monday, June 5th, 2006

Lessons in Loving

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

75 lessons that MUST be learned in relationships

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
2. Stop making excuses for a man and his
behavior.
3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a
man’s character, leave him alone.
4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from
heartache.
5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship
that’s not meant to be.
6. Don’t force an attraction.
7. Slower is better.
8. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly
happy.
9. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you
deserve then heck no you can’t "be friends." A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.
10. Have faith in God regarding your relationship, but don’t let faith make you stupid. God does things decent and in order.
11. Don’t settle.
12. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
13. If he keeps changing his mind about the relationship–take that as a BIG sign that he is unstable. Do you really want to be with a man like
that?
14. Don’t stay because you think "it will get better." You’ll be mad at
yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
15. Honorable men take care of their business
and aren’t involved in a whole lot of mess.
16. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
17. There’s only one ‘reason’ a man dumps you; he doesn’t want you.
18. Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different
women. He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
19. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince.
20. Always put yourself and your happiness first.
21. Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
22. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
23. Like from the show Sex and the City, if he doesn’t call, he just isn’t
that interested.
24. Be honest and upfront.
25. Know when to cut the cord, don’t be strung along.
26. Don’t fall for the "I’m confused role". Remove yourself from the
situation to let him figure things out (but don’t wait for him, move on).
27. If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family (not just mom).
28. There’s more than physical abuse, there’s emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of them…flee.
29. You cannot change a man’s behaviors. Change comes from within.
30. Don’t let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow
himself — double-standard.
31. Don’t EVER make him feel he is more important than you are…even if he has more education or in a better job.
32. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
33. Demand respect and if he can’t give it, he can’t have you!
34. Don’t compete with other woman, but be aware that men are attracted to what they see.
35. If you think he is cheating, he probably is. Confront him right away
and if you feel he’s lying, let him go.
36. Actions speak louder than words.
37. Never let a man define who you are.
38. Never rely on a man for compliments, look to yourself for that.
39. Never borrow someone else’s man.
40. If he cheated with you, he’ll cheat on you.
41. Just because he says he loves you, doesn’t mean that he won’t hurt you and it doesn’t mean that you are meant to be with him.
42. To use painful hard-won wisdom — ‘get it right’ the next time.
43. Know that you deserve to be the number one person in the life of the No.1 person in your life.
44. Love is a verb …
45. Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to make someone
unavailable-available, someone ungiving-giving, and someone unloving-loving.
46. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
47. All men are NOT dogs.
48. You should not be the one doing all the bending…compromise is a two way street.
49. If you don’t love self…you can’t love anyone else.
50. You cannot mend someone else’s broken heart.
51. You need time to heal between relationships…there is nothing cute
about baggage…deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
52. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you…a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals…look for someone complementary…not supplementary.
53. Dating is fun…even if he doesn’t turn out to be Mr. Right.
54. NEVER give more in a relationship than you are getting out of it.
55. Never become your man’s "therapist".
56. When actions and words conflict, believe the actions. Respond to the actions.
57. A real healthy relationship requires two people. One person can end
it - but it takes two to make it work.
58. Don’t fall for the "I’m not the loving type"…when a man loves you
there is nothing in this world (within reason) that he wouldn’t do for you.
59. Make him miss you sometimes…when a man always know where you are, and you’re always readily available to him he takes it for granted.
60. Give him his space…let him go out with his boys, don’t pressure him to spend time with you, You cant force a man to hang out with you.
61. If you wouldn’t allow your daughter to be with him you shouldn’t.
62. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
63. Never move into his mother’s house.
64. Provide financially for yourself and don’t depend on anyone.
65. Never co-sign for a man.
66. Never believe you have the perfect guy and he is so innocent.
67. Never spoil your man; let him spoil you.
68. Never let a man mess up your credit.
69. When it’s time to let go; let go.
70. Good men should be treated like good men.
71. Don’t play games.
72. Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t give you everything that you need.
73. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
74. Compatibility in terms of educational attainment, values, beliefs,
personal and career goals, and socioeconomic status, are important.
75. Never date a guy who wears color contact lens.
