Must watch film.
Tom: What happens when you fall in love? Summer: You believe in that? Tom: It's love, it's not Santa Claus.
Rachel Hansen: Just because she likes the same bizzaro crap you do doesn't mean she's your soul mate.
Paul: Robin is better than the girl of my dreams. She's real.
Rachel Hansen: Tom, I know you think she was the one, but I don't. Next time you look back, I think you should look again.
Summer: You weren't wrong, Tom. You were just wrong about me.
Summer: I woke up one morning and I just knew. Tom: Knew what? Summer: What I was never sure of with you.

| Beware L'Homme Fatale! |
[30 Mar 2009|03:01pm] |
This is a super late post. This was found by Tetaw last year. I apparently have a type :p Long read, but very interesting (especially for me, and my friends who know me hehehe)
http://www.observer.com/2008/o2/beware-l-homme-fatale
Beware L'Homme Fatale! If he's so harmless, why are all his friends beautiful women? A few years ago, Katherine, an actress in her mid-20s who lives in Park Slope, was cast in a play by a theater director several years her senior. He wasn't particularly attractive. In fact, he was almost effeminate. But he was intelligent and not too forward, and he was always surrounded by beautiful women—which, Katherine admits, she found intriguing. "He seemed like the antithesis of all the jocky guys I went to high school with," she said. (The women in this story agreed to discuss their romantic pasts only if identified by their middle names.) "He was sensitive, funny, supersmart, not athletic at all and not physically imposing. But there was something that was so charismatic—a gentleness and gracefulness and a confidence." Katherine and the director began a weeks-long courtship. There were late-night rehearsals in a dark theater that turned into surprisingly intimate later-night conversations. But then summer came. They both left New York for a while. And every time Katherine tried to reach him, he never returned her phone calls and ultimately disappeared altogether. "People told me he was trouble, but I really thought he was too evolved and sensitive to hurt me the way he did," Katherine said. Katherine's director was an Homme Fatale—a genre of man that New York women have come to know well. Often the creative type, he projects a deceptive vulnerability, while maintaining an appealing confidence. He's usually not the best-looking guy in the room, but he is the smartest; he turns these traits to his advantage, playing up the contrast with the typical hot guy or womanizer (physical inferiority, emotional evolvement). His courtship begins with a rushed sense of intimacy and, yet, a disarming lack of forward physical advances; a first date might involve a game of Scrabble or perhaps a cup of tea; his target usually leaves wondering if in fact it was a date at all. And yet the story always has the same ending—he grows distant, stops calling and eventually disappears with little explanation, if any. Dangerous femme fatale heroines, as portrayed by Rita Hayworth in Gilda or Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, are nearly extinct or have been reduced to tragic cougars while their male counterparts have only proliferated; now they can be found roaming the halls of magazines, publishing houses and the better English literature Ph.D. programs by day, and frequenting ironic dance parties in cramped Boerum Hill apartments by night. And unlike the typical womanizer, whose game is laughably easy to detect, the Homme Fatale's modus operandi is more emotional and controlling than it is physical, leaving a wreckage that is, in the end, more disastrous. (We pause here to note that the Homme Fatale, while related, is not the same as the oft-bemoaned indie rock or emo boy. While he may exhibit similarly sensitive qualities, an Homme's emotional side is a learned part of his manipulation, not an authentic sentimentality.) The Homme Fatale has also slyly insinuated (as is to be expected) his way into popular culture. Take, for instance, the Aaron Rose character played by John Patrick Amedori on the teen drama Gossip Girl, the young downtown artist and RISD grad with the unfortunate goatee. In the six episodes in which his relationship with the glamorous, blond Upper East Sider Serena van der Woodsen has progressed in fits and starts, he has yet to actually have sex with her. (Also, he doesn't drink. Possible evidence of control issues!) But he sends her suggestive gifts, thoughtful texts and even asks her to be his muse. And for a somewhat nebbishy, shy person, he seems to have a suspicious number of beautiful female friends hanging around at all times. When Serena is justifiably confused by the other "muses" in his life, he simply says, "I could explain who Tamara is and why she was at my apartment last night, but the fact is, you feel something or you don't. If you're looking for an excuse to keep us apart, that's fine." It's a classic Homme Fatale move: come on strong, then, when confronted with evidence that points to a lack of commitment or deception, turn it around so the woman feels like it's her issue. (It's a variation on the "I never said I wasn't seeing anyone else" theme.) "This guy, the Aaron Rose archetype, is not particularly attractive but he figures out somewhere along the line that he can get pretty girls by simply not acting as if they were that special, and girls are intrigued by that—because pretty girls find it fascinating to be treated as though they're not pretty—and so many girls fall head over heels for this detached act," said New York magazine Daily Intel senior editor Jessica Pressler, 31, who in her legendary Gossip Girl posts has referred to Aaron Rose as "the ultimate regrettable ex" and an "emosogynist." "Neil Strauss and the guys from The Pick Up Artist harnessed this behavior and turned it into the Game," she continued. "Aaron Rose would never admit that he has a system, probably because he likes to think it's his own personal mystique. But he is doing the same things—the mustache and the scarves are nothing less than what Gamers call Peacocking. But he is a lone operator, and therefore more dangerous."
But even Mr. Strauss himself admitted that the Homme Fatale is a dangerous creature best avoided. "These guys just sound like the emotional addicts that view women as projects," said Mr. Strauss, whose best-selling book The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists spawned a VH1 reality show, The Pick-Up Artist, featuring the abhorrent yet strangely intriguing pick-up artist "Mystery." "Obviously it's much worse than a one-night stand because it's someone you get emotionally involved with." Of course, Aaron Rose has countless real-life pop culture counterparts. There's Ryan Adams, the sensitive music artist and poet, who has reportedly dated women like Alanis Morissette, Parker Posey and Mandy Moore. Or Justin Long, the "I'm a Mac" actor, who projects an endearing self-deprecating quality at New York parties that has won him the affection of Drew Barrymore and possibly Kirsten Dunst. Or Josh Hartnett—also a partial facial hair victim!—the dark-eyed actor who, in addition to the variety of actresses he's supposedly dated (Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller), also befriends regular New York girls at bars like Black & White in the East Village or the Rusty Knot in the West Village, with an innocent and unassuming introduction: "Hi, I'm Josh." When Helena, 31, a Ph.D. student who lives in the West Village, met her ex, a 30-year-old political speechwriter named Bruce, she found him nonthreatening—at first. "He's not like the hottest guy, but he's cute and sweet in like a Jewish–boy–from–New Jersey sort of way and very self-effacing. He's not what you picture when you think of your typical dicky guy," recalled Helena. But the relationship only lasted three months. "I was really an anxious mess with this guy," she said. "He'd email me and text me all day and then just fall off the face of the planet for three days. I am not an insecure person and I was terribly insecure. I was constantly checking texts and emails. I would be at home drinking whiskey and smoking a cigarette in the corner, waiting for him to call. Finally, I was like, 'I am 30 years old! What am I doing?'" James, a 23-year-old editor at a literary magazine, referred to himself as a "reformed Homme Fatale." He would typically become interested in a girl, achieve a sense of trust and intimacy quickly and bail once the conquest was complete, which at times took months. "The strength of an Homme Fatale is not like you meet someone at a bar and you pick them up. It's a long-term game, a dance," he said. Still, the seemingly immediate affection of an Homme Fatale is genuine, despite its brevity. "In my opinion, being an Homme Fatale is more of an affliction than a conscious course of action," he said. "I think you're in love with the feeling as much as you are with each of those people. The Homme Fatale is not a slut, but the interest is both in the person, and even more so, in the feeling it gives you." This constant search for "the feeling" is something that Claire, a 25-year-old assistant in the music industry, eventually detected in her ex-boyfriend, whom she met at a rock show one summer. "He has this voice he does when talking to girls. It took me a while to start noticing it, but it's high and nonthreatening and almost squeaky, like he's being a cute little boy," said Claire. "It's pretty strange. But, it works. Nothing else was ever over the top, but that's what was so sneaky. All of a sudden he was at my house every night, and I didn't even remember how he got there."
Claire moved in with her boyfriend, but soon learned that he was using that same "voice" on some of her friends. They broke up and are now friends—and she's watched him rebound from one relationship to another. "He's not a bad dude, but he just doesn't know how not to have this over-the-top magical romance which eventually leaves girls completely broken. He's like a love monster," she said. "I think this type of guy is more dangerous than the typical one-night-stander because there is so much more emotion and attachment involved that is ultimately more destructive." It's hard to say whether the Homme Fatale's serial conquests are intended maliciously; most of the women with Homme experience tended to think not, in contrast to the deliberately sleazy womanizer. "It's not like he walked around saying, 'I'm going to get laid tonight,'" said Katherine, the actress. "He was more, 'I just want someone who's on my level intellectually.'" According to James, the Homme Fatale is neither a womanizer nor a sociopath—though these categories might overlap a bit. "The Homme Fatale is a different, possibly more modern condition than a sociopath—he is not as aware of his actions. My understanding is that sociopaths are more clever and conniving. Maybe this is my personal bias, but I think the Homme Fatale is a slightly more sympathetic character," said James. "The empathy is there, but people who do the most harm are people who don't know what they want, and Hommes Fatales don't know what they want." And unlike a sociopath, James described feeling a genuine sense of remorse. He's been trying to change. "I don't think you can ever really shed it completely, but as with any sort of psychological problem, it can be made better," said James. "The first step to reforming one's actions is to become aware of the pattern you've laid out."

 I knew there was a reason. Heheheheh

| 2008 |
[31 Dec 2008|11:28am] |
This year has been one of the most eventful I've had in a while. It has been a year full of happiness and sadness, highs and lows, ups and downs, and all those other stuff. Hehe. This year has been full of drama... But then again, I am a bit dramatic at times, so I am the cause of that. :)
At the start of the year, I was very hopeful. :)) I was looking forward to waking up every single day, with halong song and dance number ala-Disney movies. Hindi ko pala kayang i-sustain yun. Hahahaha. (For a while, it came back, while I was watching The Secret DVD. Every morning when I watch it, I am overcome with hope, but in the middle of the day, I go, this is all BS. Hehe.) I am a naturally happy person when you see me, but I would have to admit that I was unnaturally extremely happy during the early part of this year. :)
This has been a year full of travels, I couldn't even believe it. I even remember that I was a bit sad early in January because people were already planning to go to Palawan and Bataan and Boracay and wherever (and not inviting me hehe), while I did not have anyone to go places with. It was one of those emo moments when I said to myself, I have no friends! Hahahahaha. And when I talked to a fortune teller (more on that later), she told me that I'll be travelling a lot this year, and it might be probably because of boredom. Hahaha. How bored I was! :p I went to Hong Kong and Macau with my family in April; Taiwan with Suzy and Tet in June; Cambodia with Rylo in July; and the USA with Kate in November. I've went to Pampanga and Baguio in February with my teammates. I've also made a trip to Boracay with Tetaw in August. I've also missed several trips including Davao (September) with Shei, and Bohol (October) and Malaysia (December) with my family. Wow. I attribute this travelling to two things: I've finally found someone I can trust, and I really really needed to get away. Good excuses! Hehehe. Travelling takes the cake though. I plan to take advantage of my leaves (because for the past 4 years I haven't) and just get as much vacation as I can, regardless if I find someone who can go with me or not. :p
This year, I've also talked to three fortune tellers. Whoops. I was so hell-bent in insisting what I want, that I went to fortune tellers to tell me so (or otherwise, but did I care?). So, did anything happen that they predicted? The travelling, yes. The person who I'll meet in June? I made that up. There's a slight loophole in that. And the seagull, of course. :) But otherwise... well, who the hell cares? I am too stubborn to listen to what they say, and I will push on what I want until I kill myself in the process. :) In the end, what I've learned is... I win. Hahahahaha.
Work has been very good for me this year. :) I've finally gotten the promotion that was promised to me two years ago ;) Yey for me! :) My old team has also gotten the Quarterly Excellence Award ;) Yey for the team! :) I've met and experienced new things in the expansion of my role. Yey for me! :) And yet... I would have to agree with Pat... I miss the good old times... I miss the times when it was just a few of us, when everything was normal for me. But well, things evolve. Hihi. :))
There was this one exercise that Jay did during, hmm, I think it was around February 2008. He made us list down the names of people who we work with. Beside the name, we need to place a number from 1-10 which describes how related we are to that person, 1 being least related, and 10 being most related. I have no idea where that piece of paper is. Hahaha. But I know what was there, and what the end results are. :)
Something new for me this year... I already have my driver's license! Wee! Except I don't really drive hahahaha. I joined an Amazing Race. Odiba! Who would've thought?! Me, the seriously inept in athletics, joining a running event. Hilarious. Heheheh. I actually joined a marathon... But I didn't really run... I walked. It was really pathetic. Hehehe. And I went rapelling (while cursing everyone in my path hehehe)! :) I've puked on the road near Pioneer after drinking at Sofitel! Hehehehe. I've pet penguins and sharks! I've ran one block in my high heels! Hihihihi.
But anyway, it has been an amazing year. I am very grateful for all those people who have been present in my life. Mahirap magsimula, baka hindi matapos hehehe. I would give all my love to my Globe contacts, Ate and Kat; and my OFW friends, Suzy, Tetaw and Roman, who are so damn far away it's freaking annoying; because they are the cause of my ballooning cellphone bill. Hehe. Thanks to my family and all my friends who I love with all my heart. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! It has been a great and wonderful journey so far and I am looking forward to our next adventure in 2009.
Happy 2009! Woot! :)
[Nakigaya ako sa blog ni Patty, so I also used Shape Collage for doing all the pics. It's so much fun! :)]

| Bob Ong Quotes (nakaw mula kay Quel) |
[30 Sep 2008|01:28pm] |
PAG-IBIG
“Kung hindi mo mahal and isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”
"Lahat naman ng tao sumeseryoso pag tinamaan ng pagmamahal. Yun nga lang, hindi lahat matibay para sa temptasyon."
"Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang taong malapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo."
"Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba."
"Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang."
"Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na."
"Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin." 
"Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din."
"Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang." -- Love it! Panalo!
"Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa."
"Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang."
"Bakit ba ayaw matulog ng mga bata sa tanghali? alam ba nilang pag natuto silang umibig e hindi na sila makakatulog kahit gusto nila?"
"Hindi lungkot o takot ang mahirap sa pag-iisa kundi ang pagtanggap na sa bilyon-bilyong tao sa mundo, wala man lang nakipaglaban upang makasama ka." -- TRUE! TRUE! My sentiments exactly!
"Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang 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!"
PAG-AARAL
"Mag-aral maigi. Kung titigil ka sa pag-aaral, manghihinayang ka pagtanda mo dahil hindi mo naranasan ang kakaibang ligayang dulot ng mga araw na walang pasok o suspendido ang klase o absent ang teacher. (Haaay, sarap!)."
"Nalaman kong marami palang libreng lecture sa mundo, ikaw ang gagawa ng syllabus. Maraming teacher sa labas ng eskuwelahan, desisyon mo kung kanino ka magpapaturo. Lahat tayo enrolled ngayon sa isang university, maraming subject na mahirap, pero dahil libre, ikaw ang talo kung nag-drop ka. Isa-isa tayong ga-graduate, iba't-ibang paraan. tanging diploma ay ang mga alaala ng kung ano mang tulong o pagmamahal ang iniwan natin sa mundong pinangarap nating baguhin minsan..."
"Hikayatin mo lahat ng kakilala mo na magkaroon ng kahit isa man lang paboritong libro sa buhay nila. Dahil wala nang mas kawawa pa sa mga taong literado pero hindi nagbabasa."
"dalawang dekada ka lang mag-aaral. kung 'di mo pagtityagaan, limang dekada ng kahirapan ang kapalit. sobrang lugi. kung alam lang 'yan ng mga kabataan, sa pananaw ko ehh walang gugustuhing umiwas sa eskwela."
BUHAY (IN GENERAL)
"nalaman kong hindi final exam ang passing rate ng buhay. hindi ito multiple choice, identification, true or false, enumeration or fill-in-the- blanks na sinasagutan kundi essay na isinusulat araw-araw. Huhusgahan ito hindi base sa kung tama o mali ang sagot, kundi base sa kung may kabuluhan ang mga isinulat o wala. Allowed ang erasures."
"Kumain ka na ng siopao na may palamang pusa o maglakad sa bubog nang nakayapak, pero wag na wag kang susubok mag-drugs. Kung hindi mo kayang umiwas, humingi ka ng tulong sa mga magulang mo dahil alam nila kung saan ang mga murang supplier at hindi ka nila iisahan."
"Mangarap ka at abutin mo. Wag mong sisihin ang sira mong pamilya, palpak mong syota, pilay mong tuta, o mga lumilipad na ipis. Kung may pagkukulang sa’yo mga magulang mo, pwde kang manisi at maging rebelde. Tumigil ka sa pag-aaral, mag-asawa ka, mag-drugs ka, magpakulay ka ng buhok sa kili-kili.

On my trips and going away...
So, it seems that I'm apparently an escapist. When I want to think, I need to get away. Buti na lang medyo marami akong VL at pera. Haha. May mga bakasyon naman na nagkataon lang, katulad nung sa Hong Kong na magulang ko ang nag-ayos. Yung sa Taiwan, pinilit ko dahil hindi ko na talaga kaya. C'mon! It was the most expensive trip so far haha but it was well worth it. That was the time that if I didn't leave, I will explode. So ano yung ngayon? Nag-book lang ako nung Sunday, kahit na yung mga kasama ko dalawang linggo ng may ticket. Ganun ako ka-indecisive kung gusto ko ba talaga mawala ulit. Nakakatawa talaga ako.

| Impossible! It's Possible! - Cinderella 2008-Aug-24 |
[25 Aug 2008|06:58am] |
I didn't really expect anything from this version, except that it's different from the Disney one I got used to. I didn't even read up on the show, or searched the songs, so I was a bit concerned that I might like the songs and I didn't check if I can download them. :p When I sent a message to Kristel, she said she got bored with the show. Ngek. But heck, I was really excited. I like watching plays and I like Lea Salonga. :)
I like the show! :) Natuwa ako talaga. (I bought the soundtrack because of all the songs hehe.) There were funny parts, and romantic parts (I couldn't believe I was gushing in my seat hehe), and sad parts (I swear, I thought my mom was sniffling, pero may sipon daw sya hehe). I loved the costumes (of the extras!) as they were all glittery and bright. Lea's gown was okay lang, not that spectacular, but I did love the play of lights on her dress while she was at the gazebo with the Prince. I would've to agree with Kristel that the Prince is way too tall than Lea... but as for the chemistry... Well, maybe I was too far away to notice. Chemistry cannot be faked, sabi nga ni Mike Cua, hehe, it's either there or it's not. But hell, kinikilig-kilig ako, kadire. My favorite characters would be the stepsisters and stepmother, sayang nga na konti lang singing lines nila. Plus! Natuwa ako sa mga rats! Hahahahaha.
Some songs are familiar (In my own little corner and Ten minutes ago) but I don't really remember where I heard them (but I can imagine Julie Andrews singing them). I have several favorite lines from the songs:
Stepsister's Lament:
Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her, a girl who's merely lovely,
Why can't a fellow ever once prefer a girl who's merely me...Aaw... Na-sad ako. :( Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful?:Am I making believe I see in you
A man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful,
or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream,
or are you really as wonderful as you seem?
What a question noh? Napaisip talaga ako eh... HEHEHEHE. I realized after watching, and reading Kristel's blog hehe, that in spite of all the heartaches, I am not a cynic, I am still optimistic and a romantic and still thinks that wishes do come true (and yes, I'm mixing my Cinderella versions) :)

| The One |
[18 Aug 2008|05:25am] |
I got this post from Roy and Joy. :)
"Few people in this world go through life and really find The One. While Everyone else goes through life thinking they've found The One. Its like a placebo The One.
The truth is, for everyone else, The One, has nothing to do with the actual person but rather everything to do with circumstance. It is more about the fact that when you reach a certain age or moment in your life, that stage where you feel that you are "ready", then whoever you are with when you reach that stage becomes The One. Do you follow?
In essence, you could have been with someone at a different stage in your life who may actually be the person you are meant to be with but circumstances may have it that you hadn't reached the "ready" stage... Conversely, you may meet that person again at a later stage in life and everything might just fall into place.
No matter what the situation is, The One is not a person, its You."

The One That Got Away
Source: The Manila Times
By: Mark J. Macapagal
In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with...and the one that got away. Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequential become deal breakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.
Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will. So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter. All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life. If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens. Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing. But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple...find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

| Lessons in Love, by Ways of Economics |
[19 Jul 2008|02:07pm] |
Sent to me by Tetaw my love dahil naalala daw nya ako. Hehe. Original post here.
Lessons in Love, by Way of Economics By BEN STEIN Published: July 13, 2008 AS my fine professor of economics at Columbia, C. Lowell Harriss (who just celebrated his 96th birthday) used to tell us, economics is the study of the allocation of scarce goods and services. What could be scarcer or more precious than love? It is rare, hard to come by and often fragile. My primary life study has been about love. Second comes economics, so here, in the form of a few rules, is a little amalgam of the two fields: the economics of love. (I last wrote about this subject 20 years or so ago, and it’s time to update it.) • In general, and with rare exceptions, the returns in love situations are roughly proportional to the amount of time and devotion invested. The amount of love you get from an investment in love is correlated, if only roughly, to the amount of yourself you invest in the relationship. If you invest caring, patience and unselfishness, you get those things back. (This assumes, of course, that you are having a relationship with someone who loves you, and not a one-sided love affair with someone who isn’t interested.) • High-quality bonds consistently yield more return than junk, and so it is with high-quality love. As for the returns on bonds, I know that my comment will come as a surprise to people who have been brainwashed into thinking that junk bonds are free money. They aren’t. The data from the maven of bond research, W. Braddock Hickman, shows that junk debt outperforms high quality only in rare situations, because of the default risk. In love, the data is even clearer. Stay with high-quality human beings. And once you find that you are in a junk relationship, sell immediately. Junk situations can look appealing and seductive, but junk is junk. Be wary of it unless you control the market. (Or, as I like to tell college students, the absolutely surest way to ruin your life is to have a relationship with someone with many serious problems, and to think that you can change this person.) • Research pays off. The most appealing and seductive (that word again) exterior can hide the most danger and chance of loss. For most of us, diversification in love, at least beyond a very small number, is impossible, so it’s necessary to do a lot of research on the choice you make. It is a rare man or woman who can resist the outward and the surface. But exteriors can hide far too much. • In every long-term romantic situation, returns are greater when there is a monopoly. If you have to share your love with others, if you have to compete even after a brief while with others, forget the whole thing. You want to have monopoly bonds with your long-term lover. At least most situations work out better this way. ( I am too old to consider short-term romantic events. Those were my life when Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon were in the White House.) • The returns on your investment should at least equal the cost of the investment. If you are getting less back than you put in over a considerable period of time, back off. • Long-term investment pays off. The impatient day player will fare poorly without inside information or market-controlling power. He or she will have a few good days but years of agony in the world of love. To coin a phrase: Fall in love in haste, repent at leisure. • Realistic expectations are everything. If you have unrealistic expectations, they will rarely be met. If you think that you can go from nowhere to having someone wonderful in love with you, you are probably wrong. You need expectations that match reality before you can make some progress. There may be exceptions, but they are rare. • When you have a winner, stick with your winner. Whether in love or in the stock market, winners are to be prized. • Have a dog or many dogs or cats in your life. These are your anchors to windward and your unfailing source of love. Ben Franklin summed it up well. In times of stress, the three best things to have are an old dog, an old wife and ready money. How right he was. THERE is more that could be said about the economics of love, but these thoughts may divert you while you are thinking about your future. And let me close with another thought. I am far from glib about the economy. It has a lot of pitfalls facing it. As workers and investors, we know that many dangers lurk in our paths. But so far, these things have always worked themselves out and this one will, too. In the meantime, they say that falling in love is wonderful, and that the best is falling in love with what you have.

| Dan in Real Life |
[19 Jul 2008|12:57pm] |
Mitch Burns: [Dan and his family are eating dinner with Mitch's girlfriend] I swear, the minute I saw her I felt like I was in the room with an angel.
Dan Burns: This corn is like an angel.
Marty Barasco: Love is not a feeling, Mr. Burns. It's an ability.
Dan Burns: There's rightness in our wrongness.
Dan Burns: Life... is full of disappointments
Dan Burns: What don't I understand, Cara? Please, help me out. What is it? Is it frustrating that you can't be with this person? That there's something keeping you apart? That there's something about this person that you can connect with? And whenever you're near this person, you don't know what to say, and you say everything that's in your mind and in your heart, and you know that if you could just be together, that this person would help you become the best possible version of yourself?
Marie: [about Mitch] It seems all his best lines were yours... this is unbearable.
Dan Burns: Instead of telling our young people to plan ahead, we should tell them to plan to be surprised.

| Taiwan Food Trip |
[01 Jul 2008|02:31pm] |
This trip is seriously worth it. Missing the zero fare at Cebu Pacific, all the hassle at the Taiwanese Consulate (where I thought I was back in gradeschool) and the Bureau of Immigrations, all the back and forth communication at Facebook (hehe)... Grabe. WORTH IT! I miss my friends already. Boo.
Day 1: 28-June
I slept for like 2 hours. My mom insisted that I go home to Bulacan even though my flight was at 8AM, and we will leave the house at 5AM. Miss nya lang talaga ako. Hehe. It was funny though because she literally just dropped me off at the airport, and then she went back home. Hehe. The last time I was at the airport, I went to the US, and she even went inside to see me off. Ayan. Tumatanda nko kaya pinapabayaan na nya ako ngayon. Hahahaha. :p I took PAL, so I was at the "new" airport. Ayos! Free wifi! Walang tao! Maaliwalas! Hehe. Yung binayad ko na doble dahil nag-PAL ako, dahil yun sa pagkain, sa mas-matinong upuan, at on-time ang flight! I think I arrived at Taiwan before 10AM. Nagliwaliw pako sa airport before I went out... and Tet wasn't even there. For a second, I was afraid that I was at the wrong airport! Hahaha. When I saw Tet and hugged her at the airport, I felt all my stress and all my apprehensions and all my problems fade into nothingness. I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. I loooooooooove Tet. She makes all my problems go away. :)
 (Pasensya, I don't have the map so I don't know the exact names of the places we went. Hehe.)
Anyhoo, we took the bus to Taipei. Since we had no clue where the hotel is, except sa subconscious ni Tet alam nya malapit sa wedding shops, we went down somewhere and walked around. We ate at Mos Burger in honor of Jason hehe. Afterwards, we went back to our hotel search. When we no longer know where we're going, we flagged a taxi. Tapos, ang bait talaga, we had a free taxi ride to the hotel. Mukha siguro talaga kmeng naliligaw. Hehehehe :p We stayed at Vienna Hotel, which is a dodgy hotel according to Tet. May nakita pako na nde ko dapat makita ng tanghaling tapat. :p After resting for a bit, Tet and I headed to Taiwan Zoo. Inulan kme sa Taiwan Zoo. Dahil inulan kme, tinaguan kme ng mga hayop sa Taiwan Zoo. Tsk tsk. Hehehe. Pero masaya pa rin. :) Kawawa lang mga sapatos namin. My shoes took three days to dry. Tet's shoes took a day, with some help from a hairdryer. Hehe.
Suz arrived at around 7PM. Yey! I love my friends! :) The original intent for this trip was for Tet, but deep inside, I knew I had my own intention with all the stress that I've experienced the past weeks. I'm really thankful that I was there, and that my friends are my friends, and that they are there with me! :) Love it! Anyhoo... We went to the Shillin Night Market and just ate and ate and ate a lot of food. I think we went back to the hotel at around 11PM. That's when we realized that Suz lost her wallet. :( Casualty #2. While Suz was cancelling her credit cards, and I was bothering Roman for all the phone numbers, we went to Taipei 101 (nang hatinggabi). So medyo sarado na sya... Hehe. Naglakad-lakad kme sa labas ng bars, nde namin feel, we ended up at a cafe diner where they're selling drinks. We stayed there until 2AM.
  Day 2: 29-June
We went to Ximen (ding? whatever. Basta sa Ximen kme bumaba) which is the fashion capital of Taiwan. Nakakatuwa naman. :)
  We were looking for some food or what-not. Actually, pinabayaan ko na sina Suz at Tet, I was just following them around and taking random pictures. Hehe. We bought the misua soup whatever it's called, and then we went to the beef noodle house. Yum yum. :) Dun na kme nagpatila ng ulan. We went to Daan next, in search for the soya bean something (basta, it's taho!). Hay. Happiness. Weird lang na may garlic peanuts sa taho ko. Hehe. Masarap din yung frying pan. :) We then took a bus to Taipei 101. We didn't go up because it was too much for us (400NTD) kaya nagpicture taking na lang kme. Hehe. I had to go to Mitsukoshi so that I can see what it is for real. Hehe. I remember you Yanosan. Nyok nyok.
We went back at around 8PM and took the bus to Tainan at 10PM. I got really really sick. Ang loser. Kung kelan nagbakasyon, tsaka nagkasakit. tsk. tsk.
Day 3: 30-June
 Now at Tainan! :) We went to Tet's school and Tet's dorm and met Tet's friends! :) Yey! :) And then we ate some more. Hehe. I ate this pancake thing with pork, and ice shavings, and lemon chicken noodle (Tet's ultimate favorite), and this pancake thing again with red bean and taro, and taiwanese sausage, and something noodles (chinese word kse sya hehe). Puro pagkain. Haha. When we went grocery shopping for pasalubong, I found out that they sell Ritz Vanilla!!! OH YEAH! :) HAPPINESS! Hehe :)
 And finally! We met Jason! :) Woot! We went to a KTV and sang like crazy (and we didn't even drink yet!). And then we went to this "super secret" hangout place called the Underbridge somewhere very dark. Hehe. Very cool place. :)
Day 4: 1-July
Boooooooooooooo. Time to leave. :( We left Tainan at around 9AM. We got to the airport at around 130PM. Suz and I separated ways there, as she was still going back to Taipei to do some last minute shopping. I just went souvenir shopping while waiting for my plane. And I bought a lot. Haha. :))
Galing galing though. Last year, Bora, this year, Taiwan. Next year: EUROTRIP! Haha. :)) I love my friends forever :)

| Middle of 2008 |
[01 Jul 2008|03:02am] |
And so it dawned on me that it's already half of the year... Where the hell am I now? 
This year has been very eventful (maybe dramatic is a better term hehe) so far. Extreme highs and extreme lows.
The year started out to be great. I had this vision on what I want and I went ahead and got it. I had one fantastic moment end of last year, which I built into an amazing (for me anyway) dream. I was happy, giddy, and crazy happy.  I honestly didn't think it was possible but hell, if you want it badly enough, the universe will align to give it to you. Oh yeah! HAHAHA. Be careful what you wish for though... There is always a price to pay.
So here I am... My phone bill is extremely high (madaming issues sa madaming bagay ibig sabihin). I now drink, which is insane, but I like tasting different stuff hehe, it's high time to be adventurous. I've become fatter, as I've been eating so much food (masarap kumain!). I've become more insane, if I may say so. I also realized that I like hitting my head on a wall... over and over and over again. According to Einsten, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” So, based on this definition, I am insane. Bwahahahaha.
I miss my friends terribly. Suz is in Bangkok, and Tet is in Taiwan. It's sad that they're so far away and I couldn't just knock on their doors and get a comforting hug. Thank God though for civilization and airports and cellphones and emails.
Darn. I want to be where I was last January.

| Ten Random Facts about me (tagged by Batch) |
[19 May 2008|01:14pm] |
Kalokohan ka Batchi :p
The rules:
- Each blogger starts with 10 random facts/habits about themselves.
- Bloggers that are tagged need to write in their own blog 10 random things about themselves and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog, you need to choose 10 people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don't forget to leave them a comment telling they're tagged, and to read your blog.
So let's start...
10 Random Facts about me:
1. I'm now a fan of foot lotion. I just have to put it before I sleep, when I'm about to wear shoes, when I'm watching TV and not doing anything. Nahawa ata ako kay Yogs. I remember one time during my HS retreat, Yogs was applying foot lotion and making kwento, tapos nakatulog nko. Haha. Wala lang.
2. The first time I commuted alone, I went to Wys' house. That was during my (summer) freshman year at UP (oh yeah, tanda ko na!), and I didn't want to go to my summer class, so I went to Wys' house instead. Addict. Wys lives at Project 6. I commuted from UP to Project 6. For somebody who has not ridden a jeepney, it was seriously crazy, but I was really happy. (Love you Wys! MRT-LRT-walkathon to PGH today to see you. Mwah!)
3. I don't like the beach. I don't like the heat. I don't like the sand when I walk. Eek. BUT... I will go to the beach to be with my friends and/or to be with my crush *wink*wink*. Plus baka dun ko makita yung seagull. Hahahaha. =))
4. I gave my 4th year High School First Honor medal as a gift. It was one of those, what the hell moments. Howell... Asan na kaya yun? :p Hay. Ako'y isang nerd. :p
5. My choices in UP as my courses are Psych and Bio (and I ended up in ComSci). I had a Felicity complex. :p I wanted to take MBB but I didn't believe I could pass so nagpadala sa peer pressure...
6. I love sitting around and doing nothing and staring into nothingness. While I was in college, my favorite hang-out is at the Sunken Garden para lang tumanga at mamasid. I remember one time, Tet, Suz and I stayed at the sewage area whatever, and vandalized (placed hearts all around) using liquid paper. :) I can be with someone, not doing anything, and still have loads of fun. It's all about the company baby! :p
7. When I need to think, I go to church. :)
8. I started drinking alcoholic beverages this year. Pwede na ba 'to? BWAHAHAHAHA =))
9. I am very messy. I basically dump everything in one place. I keep telling myself that I have organized clutter, but that's just my excuse. :p
10. I dream of having mahogany hair. Oh ha. Ano kaya itsura ko nun? :p Meron pakong naiisip na bumili kaya ako ng dye, tapos isang araw, topakin ako, tapos kulayan ko buhok ko? :p
Yey! Natapos ko! Congratulate me Batch :p
Now, on to another list!!! If you're on the list, patawad pero pauso lang ako... It's time for you to list down your 10 random facts ;p Hope you'll do it, because it’s fun to think of some facts about yourself that others don’t know! :) and it's even more fun for me (and everyone who reads it) to discover more about you ;p
