Minsan hindi talaga maiiwasan na hindi ka nya trip.
Pero para sakin okay lang, it’s not the end of the world!
Ika nga ng usong kasabihan sa mga dayuhang lupain, “the world is your oyster”!
Hindi naman ibig sabihin ay isang malaking TAHONG ang mundo, ang ibig sabihin lang nito ay ang mundo ay iyong-iyo para ma-enjoy at ma-explore! Magbigay ka ng oras na libutin ang iba pang possibilidad at makakilala pa ng ibang tao! Jusko, sa ilang bilyong tao sa mundo na maaari mong makasalimuha, wag mong ipilit ang sarili mo sa isang tao na hindi naman naaappreciate ang presensya mo, dahil sakit sa ulo lang ang hanap mo. Try mo maglakad lakad at kumilala ng ibang tao. Make a random friend, kamustahin mo yung kasabay mo sa mahabang biyahe sa jeep o FX, or ngitian mo yung kanina pang nakatingin sayo dun sa MRT, pwede yun!
Kasi kung iisipin mo, lahat naman ng magkaibigan ay nagsimula sa pagiging strangers eh. Siyempre ingat-ingat lang sa pagpili :)
Anyway, ang sinasabi ko lang naman, madami ka pang pwedeng i-explore na posibilidad. Cool yun, try mo! :P
DATE A GIRL WHO READS
by Rosemarie Urquico
(In response to Charles Warnke’s You Should Date an Illiterate Girl)_____
Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.
She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.
Buy her another cup of coffee.
Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.
It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.
She has to give it a shot somehow.
Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.
Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.
Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.
If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.
You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.
You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.
Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Love is measured in memories, not in time.
Bago ka magmahal ng iba, subukan mo muna mahalin ang sarili mo ng lubos.
Alam mo ito kasi ang madalas makalimutan ng mga tao eh. Kumbaga hinahanap nyo sa mga boyfriend o girlfriend nyo ang “happiness” na inaasam-asam nyo.
Dude, if you’re not happy single, hindi assurance na magiging happy ka pag taken ka na. Maniwala ka man o maniwala ka, di mo pwedeng i-asa sa iisang tao lang ang buong kaligayahan mo. Mahirap yun dre! Promise.
Siguro nadadala ka lang ng mga napapanood mo sa movies yung mga couples na lovey-dovey, at oo nakakainggit, pero pag nagkaroon ka ng seryosong relasyon, dun mo maiisip na “it’s not all fun and games”. It really takes passion, determination, patience, loyalty, and courage (plus a lot of other stuff) to keep a relationship going. I know it sounds hard, pero in the end maiisip mo, kung para sa kanya, it’s worth it naman :) Kaya ayun, bottom line: if you’re not happy single, don’t expect na 100% you’ll be happy in a relationship. Coz let’s face it, how the heck can you love another person, if you can’t love yourself muna? ;)
Dear followers,
Since I’m not in the mood to make something better here. Mag-rereblog nalang muna ko ng mga worth reading anez-anez ng mga AWESOME na tao. Hope you enjoy it! Bye-bye! :)
<3 lots,
Les. :)
Ugly? Oh c’mon.
Did you think the term “ugly” was there ever since the start of time. Ako, I don’t think so. Nako po, no.
The more I think of it (and trust me, I’ve thought about it a LOT), and the more I observe how the majority of men and women have compared physical appearances over the past thousand years, my lazy thinking all went down to a thought that “ugly” is a human invention, not something we are born into.
Fashion ads, models, movies, magazines, and even statues, all show images of “beauty” and “perfection”. It’s something that was pre-programmed into our minds by society since time immemorial. Ugly was created from a comparison that a specific “look” was better or more aesthetically-pleasing in a society. Ugly is very subjective as well, it differs from one place to another. A person we call ugly here, may or may not be in another place. And from all that, it goes to a simple conclusion: UGLY IS MAN-MADE. Nosebleed sya oo, but give it a few moment of thoughts, may maiisip ka ^.^
It’s sad how the world came into what it is now, that no matter how nice we try to be, somehow in the back of our minds, we tend to judge other people that may seem to look unpleasant for us.
Despite everything, hindi ako magmamalinis. I’ve been programmed the same as most of us. I won’t deny it. I can be judgemental as well. Naisip ko lang na ang sarap sana kung hindi nagcompare ang mga tao ever since, ang saya sa na ng mundo natin at lahat sana ng tao ay nakakaranas ng parehong lebel ng pagmamahal at pagtingin, na hindi nababawasan o nadaragdagan dahil lang sa itsura nila.
Medyo corny at luma na pakinggan, pero sana naisip din natin na lahat tayo ay may karapatan sa pantay na pagtingin, not just politically or socially, but also physically! Sana lang maisip mo yun sa susunod na mang-judge ka ng kapwa, dahil lahat naman tayo tao, entitled to be respected, valued, and loved :)

Differences.
I hope you don’t worry too much if you don’t find too many stuff in common with.. you know, that other person.. Yes, that’s the one, the one you’re probably thinking about right now while reading this :P
I’m pretty sure you’re not gonna fall apart just because you like different books, or food or music. On the other hand, you MAY have an issue if you don’t talk to each other about important stuff you have on your minds (may sound cliche, yet still very true). Who cares about stuff you have in COMMON! Common is BORING; its in the word itself!
You like being together. You make each other want to be better. What you have, is UNCOMMON. And I’m sure that no matter how many differences the two of you may have, you’ve never been happier with anyone else ♥ ;)

HOW DO YOU MAKE SOMEONE LOVE YOU? Every person wishes to be loved by everyone. People do anything to get love in this world. In fact almost all actions of human beings seem to be for the purpose of getting love.
Paano nga ba? Ang hirap magmahal no? Paano kung hindi ka niya mahal? Paano kung nasasayang mga effort mo kakapapansin sa kanya? Nakikita niya kaya ginagawa mo para mapasaya siya? Sapat na ba mga effort mo?
Yan ang mga tanong ng mga bigo sa pagibig. Paano nga ba ko mamahalin ng isang taong mahal na mahal ko? Napaka-vain pakinggan ng mga ganitong tanong pero paano nga ba? Sana parang fairytale ang buhay na iwish mo lang kay Fairy Godmother mangyayari na agad.
How to be loved?
- COMMUNICATION- Kailangan hindi to namamatay, sangkap yan para maging hindi maging cold ang pagtingin niya sayo. Pakiligin mo siya everytime na nakakausap mo siya.
- GIVING- Kapag nagkakatampuhan wag na pairalin ang Pride, nakakwala yan ng relationship. Kapag nagkaroon ng problema usap agad and fix it.
- LOVE- Kung mahal mo ang sarili mo, hindi ka mahihirapan magmahal at mahalin. Makiita nila yung effort sayo na mahalaga sayo ang buhay, kaya surely hindi mo sasayangin ang buhay nila at dahil doon maiimpress sila.
- INTIMACY- Keep in touch every minute. Pakita mo sa kanya kung gaano mo siya kamahal kahit hindi niya nakikita. Parang imposible no? Pero darating ang araw marerealize nya rin yang mga pinagggawa mo.
- WISDOM- The greatest gift you can give to someone is wisdom. A pair of socks is worn for a year, but the right insight can change someone’s life forever. Wag mong sirain nagt pangarap niya, wala pa kayo sa tamanag edad para sa mga katigangan.
WHY IS “BEING LOVED” AN INGREDIENT IN WISDOM?
- Giving others pleasure is your pleasure.
- Seeing the virtues in others is one of the greatest virtues you can exhibit. If you love others this way, they will love you in return.
- The first place to start showing appreciation is with your own family.
- Love brings unity. And unity is power.
Parang mahirap magmahal pero mas mahirap isipin kung paano ka niya mamahalin.
K. Sa'yo na, inaangkin ko ba?!
- Ako, yung friend ko, saka yung BFF nya : (naghaharutan/tawanan)
- Si Ganda na Maarte: Friend mo ba talaga yang mga yan?
- Okay sana sya e, kaso nung narinig ko yun.. WOW! Bumaba tingin ko sa kanya. Well, ganun talaga.
That day that i’ll actually get to see you, hold you and feel you. Where your lips are pressed against mine, and where my arms are holding you close to me. Where I feel no distance between us and feel great warmth from your body to mines. I get to stare into your eyes and hold your hand for a long period of time. Kiss, Hug, and Tuck you into bed. Whisper “I love you.” into your ears.
However, distance, from this day, isn’t a problem anymore.

- Mga Bisaya: Bakit ang bagal mo makinig?
