Sino ang dapat sisihin?
"Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon,kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!" - Bob Ong
Pseudo Relationship
Etymology: Pseudo-relationship. Pseudo meaning fake, false, pretentious add to it the word “relationship”. Hence, a fake relationship - false, non-existent, in-your-dreams-kind-of-thing.
Definition: You’re in a relationship without its very essence: “commitment”; it’s also a social suicide; a stupidity; a waste of your precious, precious time.
Symptoms:
1. You are seeing somebody/communicating with somebody regularly.
2. When you’re together, you do what regular couples do. (eg. kissing, holding hands while walking, hugs, the whole PDA enchilada)
3. You feel unexplainably good everytime you’re with that somebody.
4. You think about that person every night (with or without obscenities) and day.
5. You’re having a hard time fighting the urge of texting/calling/sending emails/chatting with that person.
6. You are regularly in a dazed state of daydreaming about that person.
7. You regularly check that person’s Friendster/Myspace/Facebook/Hi5/Multiply and all the network accounts to see if he/she has new pictures uploaded (you’d like to know if he/she got his/her arms wrapped around with somebody on that picture), to see if he/she got new testimonnials (you’d like to know if that testimonial came from somebody who might be a competition) and to check his/her list of friends if any of them got a very familiar name (say….. an ex?).
If you find yourself nodding in any three of these symptoms, well friend am so sorry but unfortunately you are in this kind of relationship. Why unfortunate?
Read on.
Pro’s and Con’s of being in such relationship:
Pro's
1. You have no commitment with that person, so you can date around. New guy asking you out? Go ahead!!! You hold no commitment whatsoever with this pseudo-person.
2. There’s no anniversary to celebrate. So less expenses. haha!
3. You have somebody to flirt with everytime you feel like it. It’s more of like a flirt-buddy.
Con's
1. YOU DO NOT HAVE COMMITMENT WITH THAT SOMEBODY.
2. You cannot or rather MUST not show extra care, sweetness nor concern with that somebody.
3. You MUST not feel jealous everytime that person talks about another flirt-buddy, though your heart is quietly crushing inside you.
4. You have no right whatsoever to demand something from that peson. (eg. spend the night with you, take you in a concert, pick you up to/from work, bla bla bla)
5. You can’t be too sweet when that person’s friends/family is around, of course you don’t want to look like a fool in front of them specially if they know the real deal between the two of you.
6. You cannot by all means be hurt if you found out that that person is involved in a REAL relationship with somebody else.
7. Lastly, if he is in fact in involved in a REAL relationship, you MUST REMAIN FRIENDS. You must not show the devastation and grief that you suffer every night. You must keep your cool and compose yourself and say; I AM HAPPY FOR YOU.
I think I am on this kind of relationship right now... yet I'm happy.
PS: If you think this is about you, it's probably not.

Yahoo! Horoscope: 28 March
You know that certain person is intrigued by you, so what's been keeping you from revealing a little bit more of yourself? Even if you're not totally sure you're interested in them, it wouldn't do you any harm to investigate this opportunity further and get some one-on-one time with them. Getting to know someone takes time, so at any step along the way, you have the right to put the breaks on. You are in control, and should project your confidence by just being yourself.

PARANG kayo, pero HINDI
A friend forwarded me this email...I bet there's a lot of us who can relate to this. Read on...
"Parang Kayo, Pero Hindi" stage. Others call it MU or Mutual Understanding. Pseudo-Relationships. Pseudo-Boyfriends.
Flings. Almost like a relationship, but not quite. It is a phase where the persons involved are more than friends, but not quite lovers.
Pwedeng may verbal agreement, puwedeng wala. One or both of you may have admitted your feelings, posible ding hindi. You just let your gestures do the talking for you. Walang pormal na ligawan na nangyari. Hindi kayo mag-dyowa.
Pero sa kilos niyo, sa mga sinasabi niyo, parang kayo, pero hindi.
This kind of "relationship" can happen at different stages for different reasons. It can happen after a break-up. You still love each other, and you want to be with each other but you broke up for a reason.
And for reasons that you alone know, ayaw niyo na muna magkabalikan.
It can also happen before a relationship, iyong pareho kayong nakikiramdam. Possible din na ayaw niyo munang mag-seryoso kaya kunwa-kunwarian lang muna.
Testing lang.
Pwede ring hindi puwedeng maging kayo kasi isa sa inyo --usually the guy --may ka-relasyon na. Kaya habang hindi pa siya nakikipag-break doon sa girl (sabi niya makikipag-break siya soon pero di naman niya ginagawa), wala muna kayong relasyon para nga naman hindi siya nangagaliwa kasi "hindi naman kayo."
This pseudo-relationship stage, for a time, can be fun. Lalo na kung naghahanap ka lang naman ng "kalaro."
Pero huwag ka lang mag-e-expect na may patutunguhan kayo kasi wala talagang kasiguraduhan.
So bakit ang daming nagse-settle sa ganitong set up ganoong hindi naman sigurado kung may patutunguhan?
Iba't ibang dahilan. Pwedeng for fun lang.
Puwedeng "buti na iyan kesa wala" or puwede na iyang "pantawid-gutom."
Meaning, habang wala pa iyong the real thing, doon muna sa kunwa-kunwarian.
For those who are not in a serious relationship, they would think that pseudo-relationship is better than no relationship at all. It would be fun, if all you are after for is that "kilig" feeling.
Aminado naman ako na once upon a time, may mga pseudo-relationships din ako. No commitments involved. For the simplest reason that they couldn't commit, because they were either committed to someone else, or that they weren't ready to commit.
My rationalization, "okay na iyun, kesa wala."
Ang habol ko lang naman, iyong kilig feeling. Iyong merong nagtatanong kung kumusta araw ko. Iyong merong ka-cuddle sa beach outing. Iyong kapag tumunog ang cellphone, mapapangiti na ako dahil alam
kong galing sa kanya ang message. Iyong merong laging kasama. Habang wala pa ang the real thing, puwede na itong pagtiyagaan.
But then I learned that although it was only a pseudo-relationship, the emotions were real. And usually, in this kind of set up, ang babae lagi ang lugi.
Una, you can't ask him to commit. Since it's not really a relationship, you can't demand commitment from your partner. Ano ba kayo? May K ka nga ba magpasundo ng hatinggabi? You will always be uncertain about your role in his life. You can't expect him to be always there with you. And if you feel jealous of the other girls, you just have to keep it to yourself.
Ano ka ba niya para magselos?
Pangalawa, what if you fall deeply in love with him? You can't be sure if he feels the same way. Baka nag-a-assume ka lang na mahal ka rin niya.
Even if you are dying to tell him you love him, you can't. Because you're not sure if he'll like it. Baka mapahiya ka lang.
This stage will always make you wonder where you are in the relationship.
Or if there is a relationship at all.
Pangatlo, what if you become attached too much?
What if you have invested all your emotions and this man hasn't?
What if you remain faithful to him, not entertaining other guys, only to find out that he is seeing other girls?
Isa pang downside ng pseudo-relationships, it is fleeting. When a disagreement sets in, or when one of you gets cold, then that would be the end of it. Unlike in a serious relationship, hindi mo alam kung saan ka lulugar sa isang pseudo-relationship. Wala kang pinanghahawakan.
Kasi sa pseudo-relationship, there is no "us." Meron lang "you and me," hindi "us."
Buti sana kung pseudo-pain din lang ang mararanasan mo. Kaso, hindi eh. Real pain. And usually, kahit tapos na ang pseudo- relationship, hindi mo maiwasan umasang one day, may karugtong pa rin iyun. And
you will be miserable, hoping to bring back what you used to have, only to find out eventually that the guy is in another pseudo-relationship with somebody else.
Ang hirap, ano? You agreed to this kind of set up for fun and then you'd end up hurting yourself in the process.
Pero pwede naman maiwasan ang pain eh. Pwede naman na hindi mo muna isipin ang future and just enjoy the feeling, without thinking of the consequences.
But if you are certain that you are going to hurt yourself in the process, kailangan mo mamili. You can be happy and live the moment without worrying what would happen next. Or you can stop settling with pseudo-relationships and wait for the real thing.
Magpakasaya ka.
Ang bottom line lang naman, kung magpapasaya sa iyo, gawin mo.
Ihanda mo lang ang sarili mo sa consequence. Dahil ang "parang kayo, pero hindi" stage ay bihirang nagiging totoo. Usually, hanggang doon lang siya ...

The Bottom Line
Open your mouth and say something interesting to a stranger and see what happens.
In Detail
Humdrum places like the grocery store, post office, or the shopping mall might not seem like places where you can make intriguing intellectual connections, but that is not necessarily true. All it takes is for you to open your mouth and say something interesting -- which is never a hard thing for you to do. Start some conversations with strangers who seem interesting, because they probably are. And if you are looking to start a new romance, make sure you toss some flirtation in there, too.
*It's time to expand my network. Heheheh!

Can't Sleep
Time Check
5pm - I'm still up.
My eyes are still wide open.
I don't know why.
I'm usually on my deep sleep and dreaming at this time.
Am not thinking of anything.
Nah! Can't sleep.
Maybe because I'm awake in somebody else's dream.
Just a thought.

Dear You
I just want to thank you for:
- making me smile
- being there for me
- listening to my stories
- telling me I can do more
- making me braver
- letting me out of my comfort zone
Just ME
- making me smile
- being there for me

- letting me out of my comfort zone
Just ME
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr

She doesn't deserve you
It has been more than 2 weeks now since she put it on her phone as a screensaver.
"She doesn't deserve you!"
It's her way to remind herself everyday that she doesn't deserve you.
It's not easy for her.
There were several times that she and her friend had an argument about you.
And it always ends with - there's someone better.
But she can't easily admit that fact... Maybe because she sees something in you.
She thinks that you:
are just shallow at times
have more to offer
have more to give
have more about yourself to share
Prove your self.
Prove her right.
Make her happy.

Caught off guard
There were several times you asked me out of this world questions. I just realized one of those, just now. Hehehe!
It was when you asked me, "Am I _______?" I didn't know what to say. Hahahaha!
I even asked you, "Are you serious?" And I was bursting out with laughter. And you said, "I am serious." And you were indeed waiting for an honest answer.
I was really caught off guard.

Getting Better
I love whatever we have now.
Things are getting better.(I guess!)
It really pays to be honest.

T.G.I.S
I'm excited to go home today. I'm gonna spend my weekend with my one and only Carl.
Saturday is my favorite day of the week. It's the day that I get to see Carl and (at times) it's also the gimik day. Normally, I spend the day with Carl and at night, that's when I go out. Heheheh!
Saturday.
I love it when he says, he's glad that I'm home.
I love it when he says, he misses me.
I love it when he says, I'm the only one he loves.
Saturday.
I love sleeping beside my Carl - saturday and sunday night -
I love him clinging on me while he sleep. He's so sweet.
As if he doesn't want to me go anywhere but just be beside him.
I want to be the last person he sees before he fall asleep and the first person he sees as soon as he wakes up.
Don't worry my baby.
Mommy is coming home.
I'll see you later.
I love you so much!
Thanks God It's Saturday!

Still searching?
Don't look for someone who is telling you how perfect you are, because you're not.
Find someone who will tell you exactly what she thinks of you.
Someone who will tell you how irritating and impossible you can be.
Someone who gives compliments at the right time.
Someone who will laugh at your clumsiness but will still love you for it.
Someone who won't be afraid in telling you the truth, because only those can be honest and loyal up to the very end.

Taking Risks
Taking risks is the key to entering life more deeply, experiencing it in a happier and fuller fashion. When we no longer hide the truth about ourselves, others can see us truly, perhaps for the first time (from the book: If you really knew me, would you still like me?)
I took the risks.
I rode the Space Shuttle for the first time last Saturday.
I've been to EK for more than 8 times but it was my first time to ride the Space Shuttle. I was always been scared. I am afraid of heights. I just opted to watch the people scream their hearts out while enjoying the ride.
Mindset.
Prior to going to EK, I told myself, that this visit will be different. I will face my fears. There's no use in hinding. My fears will haunt me one way or the other. So this is it!
As we enter EK, we immediately go to the Space Shuttle. I was so scared then. But brave enough not to tell them that I'm scared. I just told them that it's my first time. Good thing, I'm not alone. I'm not the only first timer. That made me feel braver. And before I knew it, the ride was over. The only thing I remembered was, I just screamed my heart out and felt better after the ride. Imagine? I was able to face one of my fears that day. Woohoo!
You know how it feels when you accomplished something that you thought all the time you can't? It was soooo amazing!
In real life, we fear a lot of things. We tend to settle for what we currently have - conformity.
We stay on a place or situation that we don't want but we're used to - our comfort zones.
Because we fear change, we fear rejection.
But taking the risk might lead to something good.
Think about it.

On our way to EK
Live your life... is in the air as we enter South Expressway.
Yes, we are living our lives!
Never did I realize that I can be this free, not until 4 months ago.
It has been 4 months now since I started living a single life.
I'm almost single.
Single with extra baggage. :)
No regrets.
I learned a lot from what happened.
I learned how to take it slow.
I learned to be more careful.
I learned to enjoy simple things.
I learned to value my family and friends more.
I learned to fight for what I really want.
I learned to value other people's opinion, but not necessarily be swayed.
At the end of the day, it's still "me" who decides for myself.
Nobody else.
I'm supposed to tell a story about our adventures in EK, but because of the traffic, I was tempted to share some of the things that's on my mind.
It's been a while since I last posted a serious entry.
So, here it is.
The serious side of me, again.
Many people say that I'm glowing.
Been asked countless times what or who makes me glow... I don't know, really!
In love? I'm not!
Maybe my life is less stressful now.
I'm living one day at a time.
I'm enjoying life.
I love my independence.

Paotsin
For the sake of charity...
I gave her my french fries.
I gave you my bacon mushroom melt.
My share? iced tea and frostee
Had Siomai-Rice from Paotsin for dinner.
Word for the day, Paotsin :(
Paotsin :)
Could have gotten your Paotsin, too, if you we're awake earlier.

Kaleidoscope World - Francis Magalona
On the Eraserheads - The Final Set Concert last saturday, they paid tribute to Francis M. They played a part of Kaleidoscope World while a video of Francis M is playing on the big screen.
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope

I am Happy!
I woke up happy.
I know I dreamt of something...
Something that made me feel happy when I got up.
But can't remember anything.
Whatever it is, I'm happy.
They say, Happiness is the best makeup.
That's what I'm wearing right now.
I am really happy.

Table Manners 101
Filipino Table Manners (according to Wikipedia)
- If you are invited to a Filipino's house, it is best to arrive 15 to 30 minutes later than when invited for a large party.
- Compliment the hostess on the house.
- Shoes must always be removed before entering the home.
- Wait to be asked before moving into the dining room or helping yourself to food.
- Wait to be told where to sit. There may be a seating plan.
- It is polite to wait for the host to invite you to start eating before doing so.
- Meals are often served family- style or are buffets where you serve yourself.
- A fork and spoon are the typical eating utensils.
- Hold the fork in the left hand and use it to guide food to the spoon in your right hand.
- Whether you should leave some food on your plate or finish everything is a matter of personal preference rather than culture-driven.
- Do not chew loud enough for others to hear.
- Chew with your mouth closed.
- Lightly burping after a meal is acceptable. It's polite to say "Salamat" or "Thank You" after doing so.
- If offered more food, it's important to accept. Even if it is just a small amount. Turning down anything offered is seen as arrogant.

Friendster Horoscope: 4 Mar
The Bottom Line
Letting yourself get emotional over bad stuff is healthy. Don't rush through it.
In Detail
Every once in a while, you need a good cry to get out some of the bad feelings. Letting yourself get emotional over the trials in your life is not a sign of weakness -- it is a healthy way to process some extremely unpleasant feelings. If you need any solace, you will find more comfort from your family than from anyone else, so try to spend some time with them later in the day if you can. You share the good things in your life with them, and you should share the bad stuff, too.

Reality Bites
You're right.
I was blinded with the feeling of importance.
I got used to the undivided attention.
I freaked out with the idea of having someone new around.
Good thing I was able to realize it before it's too late.

Tired: A is not meant to B
We're not meant to be.
That's one of the few things that I'm absolutely certain. It doesn't feel right from Day 1.
You we're the rebound guy.
Tried so hard to replace the one I loved so much.
But you weren't him.
Got caught up in a situation were we need to make a decision.
At that time, I was so certain that I don't want to tie the knot with you, but due to family pressure, I was convinced to marry you.
Wedding day.
Civil Rights.
We don't even have pictures of our Wedding Day. Weird huh!
It's because that's one of the days that I don't want to remember.
Am I mean?
I don't think so.
I'm just being honest. That's what I exactly felt that day.
After 5 years...
It was finally over.
I really celebrated the day I became Single.
I didn't even shed a tear.
Maybe because,I was tired.
Tired of trying to understand you every single day.
Tired of telling you to dream bigger.
Tired of shouldering your responsibilities.
Tired of pushing myself to love you.

Weekend Date with M
We decided to meet at 2pm in Starbucks in Gateway.
I came in 15 minutes late.
I was there, feeling lost when my phone rang.
He asked me where I am, I told him, I'm here, Starbucks.
I asked him where he was, he was right behind me.
Hahahahah! Poor me, so blind. :D
Before leaving Starbucks, he handed me a bouquet of flowers
(which I didn't even notice that it was seating on the table)
I was surprised! I didn't expect that I'll receive a bouquet of flowers that day.
We proceeded to Gateway Cineplex and checked the movie screening schedule.
2:50 - He's just not that into you
5:10 - Confessions of a Shopaholic
Time Check: 2:30PM - and the line was so long, we will not be able to make it at 2:50.
So, we decided with the 5:10 screening: Confessions of a Shopaholic.
While waiting on the line, I caught several people gazing at me and my bouquet of flowers.
Hahahah! Affected?!
I don't mind.
Now what? We got our tickets and we still have almost 2 hours to spare.
Good thing there's Timezone.
We played basketball and got tired after 3 or 4 games.
Next stop, ice cream at Dairy Queen.
Chit chat and yosi.
Next stop, National Bookstore.
We bought materials for our long overdue plan: scrapbook
We really want to start building our memories.
Our single lives... with old and new friends and future love insterests.
We already gathered some receipts, bottle cap, bottle label, cigarette label and etc.
We still have our pictures to be printed though.
Pictures of the places we've been for the past weeks.
Tagaytay, Elbow Room, Mark's Place, etc.
Up Next: Enchanted Kingdom and Eraserheads' Concert
Movie time.
We thought we came in late, it turned out that we're not.
We bought popcorn, hotdog and soda.
Watched the movie trailers.
And, the long wait is finally over.
We enjoyed the movie so much. Hahahah! Overrated? We really had fun.
Time to go home.
Yosi before parting ways.
He took a cab and I went my way to MRT station.
Still, people were staring at me.
Hahaha! Just like what a friend texted me,
I shouldn't be bothered.
I don't know them. Hahahah!
Still wondering who my date was?
It's not actually a "HE".
It's safer to say that "He's a She and or She's a He!"
She/He is no other than my good friend, housemate and confidante, Mitch.
Thanks Mitch.
For always being there for me.
For listening to my stories.
For giving me advice. Solicited or not.
For laughing and crying with me.
For dreaming with me.
Cheers!
