language of love

Tuesday, February 28, 2006

to seek love beyond the superficial, beyond poems, beyond flowers and chocolates. To look at love in its purest essence... in everyday life and in the most mundane of things...

why my heart betrayed me

It's been an emotional roller coaster ride lately and I keep on blaming my heart for betraying me again. You see, I made an agreement with my heart not to fall in love with the wrong guy, to wait patiently, so patiently even if it will take forever. I don't even mind being single forever, I'd rather stay single than end up with the wrong person and blame myself for being blind for the rest of my life. But no matter, it's not too late yet. Feelings are just like the clouds that do not retain a shape forever. It's just like the sky, always changing and always flowing...

rules from men

Saturday, February 04, 2006

although these rules do not apply to ALL men but I think they generally do... so for women let us learn from our men...

ENJOY!!!

AT LAST A GUY HAS TAKEN THE TIME TO WRITE THIS ALL DOWN.

FINALLY, THE GUYS' SIDE OF THE STORY. (I MUST ADMIT, IT'S PRETTY GOOD.)

WE ALWAYS HEAR "THE RULES" FROM THE FEMALE SIDE.

NOW HERE ARE THE RULES FROM THE MALE SIDE.
THESE ARE OUR RULES!
PLEASE NOTE...
THESE ARE ALL NUMBERED "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1.LEARN TO WORK THE TOILET SEAT.
YOU'RE A BIG GIRL. IF IT'S UP, PUT IT DOWN.
WE NEED IT UP, YOU NEED IT DOWN.
YOU DON'T HEAR US COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU LEAVING IT DOWN.

1.SUNDAY SPORTS.
IT'S LIKE THE FULL MOON OR THE CHANGING OF THE TIDES. LET IT BE.

1.SHOPPING IS NOT A SPORT.
AND NO, WE ARE NEVER GOING TO THINK OF IT THAT WAY.

1.CRYING IS BLACKMAIL.

1.ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT.
LET US BE CLEAR ON THIS ONE: SUBTLE HINTS DO NOT WORK! STRONG HINTS DO NOT
WORK!
OBVIOUS HINTS DO NOT WORK! JUST SAY IT!

1.YES AND NO ARE PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWERS TO ALMOST EVERY QUESTION.

1.COME TO US WITH A PROBLEM ONLY IF YOU WANT HELP SOLVING IT.
THAT'S WHAT WE DO. SYMPATHY IS WHAT YOUR GIRLFRIENDS ARE FOR.

1.A HEADACHE THAT LASTS FOR 17 MONTHS IS A PROBLEM.
SEE A DOCTOR.

1.ANYTHING WE SAID 6 MONTHS AGO IS INADMISSIBLE IN AN ARGUMENT.
IN FACT, ALL COMMENTS BECOME NULL AND VOID AFTER 7 DAYS.

1.IF YOU WON'T DRESS LIKE THE VICTORIA'S SECRET GIRLS,
DON'T EXPECT US TO ACT LIKE SOAP OPERA GUYS.

1.IF YOU THINK YOU'RE FAT, YOU PROBABLY ARE.
DON 'T ASK US.

1.IF SOMETHING WE SAID CAN BE INTERPRETED TWO WAYS
AND ONE OF THE WAYS MAKES YOU SAD OR ANGRY, WE MEANT THEOTHER ONE.

1.YOU CAN EITHER ASK US TO DO SOMETHING OR TELL US HOW YOU WANT IT DONE.
NOT BOTH.
IF YOU ALREADY KNOW BEST HOW TO DO IT, JUST DO IT YOURSELF.

1.WHENEVER POSSIBLE, PLEASE SAY WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO SAY DURING
COMMERCIALS.

1.CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS DID NOT NEED DIRECTIONS AND NEITHER DO WE.

1.ALL MEN SEE IN ONLY 16 COLORS, LIKE WINDOWS DEFAULT SETTINGS.
PEACH, FOR EXAMPLE, IS A FRUIT, NOT A COLOR.
PUMPKIN IS ALSO A FRUIT. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MAUVE IS.

1.IF IT ITCHES, IT WILL BE SCRATCHED.
WE DO THAT.

1.IF WE ASK WHAT IS WRONG AND YOU SAY"NOTHING," WE WILL ACT LIKE
NOTHING'S WRONG.
WE KNOW YOU ARE LYING, BUT IT IS JUST NOT WORTH THE HASSLE.

1.IF YOU ASK A QUESTION YOU DON'T WANT AN ANSWER TO,
EXPECT AN ANSWER YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR.

1.WHEN WE HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE, ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING YOU WEAR IS FINE...
REALLY.

1.DON'T ASK US WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO
DISCUSS SUCH TOPICS AS
BASEBALL, THE SHOTGUN FORMATION, OR MONSTER T RUCKS.

1.YOU HAVE ENOUGH CLOTHES.

1.YOU HAVE TOO MANY SHOES.

1.I AM IN SHAPE.
ROUND IS A SHAPE.

1.THANK YOU FOR READING THIS.
YES, I KNOW, I HAVE TO SLEEP ON THE COUCH TONIGHT;
BUT DID YOU KNOW MEN REALLY DON'T MIND THAT?
IT'S LIKE CAMPING.

update

Thursday, February 02, 2006

It has taken me forever to actually update my blog. IT has finally won the battle of blocking all websites not related to work. First off, finally, after a year of being on a graveyard shift I finally transferred to the morning sched. My shift starts at 8am and ends by 7pm for an 11X4 shift with FRI SUN MON rest days. Not that anyone cares but since I started a normal sched this week I can't help but feel really wonderful. It's great to be normal, to feel the cool morning breeze and the scent of dew that infuses my entire being just before I go to work. I made an agreement with JORGE to have breakfast with her every morning by 7 or just an hour before my shift. I am loving my schedule and how relaxed it can be. I can now afford to read all the books I want to read and just take the time to think and plan things. I couldn't ask for more. I needed this, I needed a life. For the past weeks, I had felt that I was missing out on a lot of things. Laughter seemed scarce and I always felt tired and sleepy. I wanted to enjoy my time with my friends but since their schedule was so different from mine, while their day was about to start mine was about to end and while mine was about to start, theirs was about to end. It was crazy and I screamed for freedom and flexibility. An offer came for a new job, a job that will allow me to explore and manage, a job that allows meeting different kinds of people. I prematurely announced to anyone concerned that I was leaving, that I've had enough calls and that I needed to move forward. I am actually facing a dilemma cause I am slowly falling in love with my current job again. It's like love the second time around. I feel giddy and smiling going to work now and I love the busy streets in the morning.
