Which OS are You?

Coffee and Tea

I always drink a cup of tea in the morning.
It has been part of my daily routine...
Isang bagay na nakasanayan ko na at kayang gawin kahit nakapikit.

Pero kahapon.. napansin kong wala ng tamis ang tea na nagawa ko..
Sobra common na ba ng ginagawa ko na nakakalimutan ko ng pansinin kung anong lasa?

Hmmm... babalik pa ba ako sa pantry para lagyan ng asukal ang tea?
O hahayaan ko nalang na ganito ang lasa, tutal sanay na ako?

Ikaw?

Keeping relationships

It's best to wait for the one you want than settle for the one available.

Best to wait for the one you love than one who's around.
Best to wait for the right one because life's too short to be wasted on just someone.

An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyesopen, and after you marry, close one eye."

Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a lowself-esteem make you blind to warning signs.

Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really that important.

Once you decide to commit to someone, over time, their flaws,vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious.

If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve,you've got to learn how to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you.

You and your mate have many different expectations,emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a lifetogether.

Neither one of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other?
Do you bring out the best in each other?
Do you compliment and compromise with each other,or do you compete, compare and control?
What do you bring to the relationship?
Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?
You can't take someone to the altar to alter them.
You can't make someone love you or make someone stay.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship.

Seeking status, sex, and security are the wrong reasons to bein a relationship.

What keeps a relationship strong?
- communication
- intimacy
- a sense of humor
- sharing household tasks
- some getaway time without business or children
- daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, anote)
- sharing common goals and interests- giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure
- giving each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment
- asking God to be the center of your relationship.

***If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode asresentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty and pain replace thepassion.

"A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to behimself;
to laugh with me, but never at me;
to cry with me, but neverbecause of me;
to love life, to love himself, to love being loved.

Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart." -- :)

Of Love and the one that got away

They always say that I'm the type of person who's always in love.
Yep! 3 times a day, 5 times a week.
They could see hearts in my eyes and feel the butterflies in my stomach.
I act crazy, talk lousy and laugh "wildly".
But other than that, they could prove nothing.

In reality, I could never really tell if I have really been "romantically" in love. You see, most often than not, I play the role of the third wheel.
The type of person who fills the crowd and mingles with couples.
The best friend.
The tropa.
The Ate.
The blockmate.
The classmate.
The Old friend.
An acquaintance.
Isang MALAKING HADLANG.

It's more like a "bad habit" that you get used to. Trying to analyze and criticize all the girls or guys your tropa is currently "dating" or "pinopormahan". I look at the relationship at the outside. From the "norms'" perspective… or so I believe. (Yeah right... excuses... hehehe)

During my college years, I got to know a lot of people. The craziest became my very best friends; some became my "constant correspondent". Being the "chismosa" that I am, I get to know them more, deeper, and even on the personal level.

I don't really know if I would consider myself fortunate to have witnessed all the happiness, heartaches and break ups of these wonderful people. But I did learn... somehow...

The first story was of my "blockmate-since-highschool" (sorry tol..blog ko toh.. hehehe.. gantihan nalang). At first I really couldn't believe that he was in a relationship that time. He's such a funny guy, adorable and a good Christian. But I couldn't imagine him as a "boyfriend material". During those times, he tried so hard to make the relationship work. Of course it was hard, it was a long distance relationship and they were just freshmen. Duh! Eventually, the relationship ended. I couldn't really relate to him, as much as I try to put things in a theoretical manner. Hmmm... The only great thing I could remember about that relationship was... I get to listen to Mandy Moore's "I wanna be with you" for more that 1 hr. (back to back. both side A and B) hehehehe...

Next was my best friend. She introduced him to me one summer afternoon. He was kind, smart and "rich". It started with small gimmicks, movies, dinner out, hang out sa kios. I liked him for her. I think they were a good pair. They complement each other. They were both first timers in love. Everything was perfect. He was preparing for his thesis; she was trying to be understanding. She wanted to talk about many things, get to know him better. He was too busy. She understood. But when timing strikes and both have different perception on each positions, communication lines were blocked. They had to let go. Instead of holding on to something that could have been...

My "twin sister's" story was quite different. She had a whirl wind romance. A kind that starts to bloom in a spontaneous kind of manner. She introduced him to me, way back when we were sophomores. At first I couldn't recognize a "friendly date" with a "romantic date". So, most of the time I butt in... He never argued. That's why I liked him. He was a gentleman. Of course I understand that they have the right to be with each other. So I let them, most of the time they were happy and crazy. On this case, you'd asked if it was the guy's fault. hehehe.. Maybe... maybe not... I don't blame them... but WORDS could be so powerful even if you mean no harm. And at this case, what was said... is done...

This last one, I specially admire when it comes to relationships. He's the silent type of person. (Kaya naman ang hirap pilitin magkwento...)The one who moves in silence, more on actions less in words... You could ask him anything about technical stuff and he'd answer in full details. But we never get to talk a lot about relationships and mushy stuff. Of course, I understand he's a guy. (Yeah, right...) I just watch his relationship with his girlfriend bloom into something I would define as "perfect". I even envy them, for finding each other. While most of us, try so hard as to find or figure out if there's someone there for us. He was there with her. And you could see that they "love" each other. Hmmm... You might ask? So what's the point of sharing this particular story...? The point is they broke up... and for what reasons? Only they would know. ( I wouldn’t know, ayaw nga mag kwento e…) Maybe, they fell out of love… Or Got so used to being with each other... Just buying some time to be alone… To know how it feels to be single again. To feel what was missing in such a perfect relationship.

Well, hindi ko din alam kung pano ko sasabihin e… This is just my concept in life. Pero I believe people tend to make a big deal out of this so called feeling… When you come to think about it... Love is really overrated… Hindi ako nagpapaka bitter, mind you…I just feel sad to know that even the "almost" perfect relationships don’t last. I’m a romantic myself. In as much as I wanted each and every relationships to last. Hindi ka naman mag go grow. Kung patuloy kang mabubuhay sa nakaraan. Maybe learn for a while, and if really someday you bump into that person again. And still have that tingling feeling. Who knows di ba? Timing is realy a big factor.

Pero as of now, these things tend to make me wonder if I’ll ever find that one… Still hopeful but with a little doubt.

Of course...
I love my family.
I love my work.
I love my life.
Does that count?
Nah... Guess not.

======================================
I would never know what if feels to be in such a position, because I choose to. To me, the one that got away might not be a person, but the opportunity to love and be loved in return. :D

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Sadly ito lang ang kinaya ng powers ko...
Marami nanamang work e...
Panget tuloy.. hehehe.. enjoy reading!

Is chivalry dead

In the time of gender equality, I'm sorry to say that Chivalry is dead.
While most guys still share their seat to an elderly or a lady,
Most of them have preferences such as looks, disabilty, etc.

Shouldn't a guy walk on the danger side while walking with a girl?
Regardless of their status..("friends, dating, married, etc..)

Shouldn't a guy offer a ride to an acquaintance if she is along the way and is truly in need?

Shouldn't a guy carry a girl's heavy baggage, if she really needs help and he has all the muscles to flex?

Well, these are just some case to case basis. I know we shouldn't just accept offers or offer our services to others. But, knowing that you know each other and one is in really need. shouldn't you offer?

I guess, I'm still happy to see that there is still someone willing to offer.
Even if you're just friends. :D

====================================
just thinking out of the box.

Scores..  

Lets play ball 

EXAMS

Just when you thought you've got over your college profs.
And got rid of those morbid exams...
... they come back and hunt you..

=====================================
I have a suprise quiz.(today)
RE: SQL2000 - DTS
=====================================

I'm tired

I don't feel good..
Maybe I'm just stressed out.
I want to rest.

Malamig lang talaga sa office.
Hindi na namamatay ang virus.
Puro na ako sipon.
I hope its nothing more than that...

oo nga pala..
may sakit na lahat ng katabing cube ko..
Sick Leave (SL) na sila.

Pero bakit ako andito pa?

These things...

There are a lot of things in life that you want to do or you think you want to do.There are those things you always thought but never wanted to happen.When a desease outbreak, you wonder if you have the symptoms.When an outrageous fad starts, you wonder if it'll fit you.Mind over matter stated that you can learn to believe that idea and accept it as a fact Or You could swallow it whole, be strong, face it and say that it is wrong.It's your call.

I'M BACK

Ok Pips...

I know you missed me...and all my bitterness in life.!

Yep yep I'm back!
And since, one "special" person inspired me to write again...
ahem... because he's in love.

I'll write something special for him.. or should I say..
Something in line about him..(or his type )

For "the one that got away." hehehehe...
===========================================

O esti you can comment as much as you want.
Di ko na ilalagay ang bitterness ko dito.
I've made a new blog na di pwedeng mabasa. :P
But i'll sill share what's up with me lately.

============================================

TRUE

I won't talk, I won't breathe
I won't move 'til you finally see
That you belong with me

You might think I don't look
But deep inside, in the corner of my mind
I'm attatched to you, mmmm

I'm weak, it's true
Cause I'm afraid to know the answer
Do you want me too?
Cause my heart keeps falling faster

I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true

So I will not hide, it's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

You don't know what you do
Everytime you walk into the room
I'm afraid to move

I'm weak, it's true
I'm just scared to know the ending
Do you see me too?
Do you even know you met me?

I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true

So I will not hide, it's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true

I know when I go
I'll be on my way to you
The way that's true...

I've waited all my life
To cross this line
To the only thing that's true

So I will not hide, it's time to try
Anything to be with you
All my life I've waited
This is true
