Funny Things To Ponder

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?
Why are there flotation devices under plane seats instead of parachutes?
Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing?
If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?

Korina Sanchez's Alleged Open Letter to Shalani Soledad



(Disclaimer: i got this one from goodtimesmanila. I do not own this article and I am posting it here for entertainment purposes only.)


Well, well, well, you must be pretty pleased with yourself, Shahani Solidad [sic]. You are one step closer to becoming First Lady. Congratulations. Clap. Clap. Clap.
Contrary to what some nasty people have been saying about me (please refer to my other open letter to RG Cruz), allow me to make it very clear that I am NOT desperate to become First Lady. I do NOT care about that title at all. You are more than free to go for it. I will NOT stop you.
Besides, I did not become a multi-awarded broadcast journalist for nothing with so many awards to my name, including a Silver World Medal for Investigative Report at the New York Festivals, which also gave me and my show Rated K a finalist certificate as Best News Reporter and Best News Magazine, respectively. Imagine that. An award from New York. It’s nothing really, just part of my job.

Timeline of the Ampatuan Massacre (from Tumblr)

ANALYN PEREZ and TJ DIMACALI, GMANews.TV
It is called the Ampatuan Massacre here because the crime was committed in Ampatuan town. Elsewhere on this news site, it is still referred to as the Maguindanao Massacre, which is the more common reference, but no other massacre in modern Philippine history has been publicly associated with an entire province.

Moving On.... Letting Go.

Heartaches are never easy to deal with.. I mean, it's like being in hell, having your wrist slit over and over again, multitude of blood dripping all over you...,

it's worse than paranoia because it can drive you crazy in a matter of seconds.. you cry liters of tears all because of words, spoken and unspoken,that literally tore you to pieces...

In the two decades that I have been living my life, I have had my own share of heartaches-- some I inflicted, some I suffered from. After four boyfriends, numerous flings and all that jazz, I have come to the conclusion that I am meant to enjoy the happiness of singleblessedness... Relatioships are always meant to end, just like what Summer Finn said in (500) Days of Summer, what always happens is LIFE.

So now, I am resolved to this one thing,I am going to stay unattached for the rest of my life. i think I've had had enough of heartaches and am not ready to suffer from it anymore.

Sleepless Fridays




(Disclaimer: This blog contains gruesome pictures and descriptions of massacre victims. Continue reading at your own risk)


Okay. So it is official. I am sleepless every Friday.

That is something that you will expect from a person who wakes up at 4pm the day before. I am slowly becoming a vampire, so what? Vampires are in anyway, no big deal. It won't hurt to be one of those oh-so-lovely creatures who fly as fast as a speeding bullet and hit baseballs so hard it causes lightning and thunder. It won't hurt to live for a thousand years anyway, except that you're not really alive (haha). Plus, I really cannot sleep right now because of this very horrible feeling that is trying to get out of my chest since Tuesday.

My Tarot Reading for Today

The Tower
how you feel about yourself now (The Tower)

You feel that the disruption and sweeping change you are going through, or fear you are about to go through, will be catastrophic. You need to recognise that such upheaval can force new directions that you never dreamed possible. Subconsciously you may have wanted change, but as is often the case, the solution isn’t always as we expect. There could be problems relating to your property, or if considering a new property or move, progress will be

What I Learned Today... (Before Sunrise...and the sweet smell of morning dew)

So here is the second entry of my daily dose of life's lessons.

What did I learn today?

I was thinking about it on my way home while I was on a bus along EDSA. Then I came to the conclusion that I might not have learned anything new today...yet I still wracked my brain trying ot figure out what I would put in this entry. And then my best friend Basha texted me and told me that she successfully survived her first day at work. And that's when it hit me that finally I have something to write about before I go to sleep tonight.

Owl City Fest




Vanila Twilight
-this is a very nice song... good melody and lyrics... one of the songs I am currently enjoying right now...or maybe it just touches the sentimental girl in me..

The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake and miss you.
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me.
I'd send a postcard to you dear,
'Cause I wish you were here.

What I Learned Today...

Because this is a daily journal, there will be daily entries about new discoveries, lessons I was able to learn and all that jazz every day. (Now, that is redundant)..

I got this from Casey, my first buddy. She would always ask us every midnight what we learned for that day. I simply refuse to answer because of the limited space and the fact that I did not really learn anything because I was asleep the entire day and my "day" is just starting.

Chocolate


This is a nice song by Snow Patrol... Enjoy...









This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home

With a name I'd never chosen
I can make my first steps
As a child of 25

This is the straw, final straw in the
Roof of my mouth as I lie to you
Just because I'm sorry doesn't mean
I didn't enjoy it at the time

You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
On my knees I think clearer

Goodness knows I saw it coming
Or at least I'll claim I did
But in truth I'm lost for words

What have I done it's too late for that
What have I become truth is nothing yet
A simple mistake starts the hardest time
I promise I'll do anything you ask...this time

For Good




ELPHABA
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:

Conversation Between Ex's

Girl: Your new girlfriend is pretty. (I bet she stole your heart)
Boy: yeah, she is. (But you’re still the most beautiful girl I know)
Girl: I heard she’s funny & amazing. (All the stuff I wasn’t)
Boy: She sure is. (But she’s nothing compared to you…)
Girl: I bet you know everything about her by now (Like how you knew just about everything about me)
Boy: Only the stuff that count (I can’t even remember the stuff she tells me when I think of you)
Girl: Well, I hope you guys last. (Because we never did)
Boy: I hope we do too. (Whatever happened to me & you?)
Girl: Well I got to go. (Before I start to cry)
Boy: Yeah me too. (I hope you don’t cry)
Girl: Bye. (I still love you)
Boy: Later. (I never stopped)

The Beauty of Nature






I love nature.I love going outdoors on adventures, discovering sites that just take your breath away.

Growing up in the city makes it all difficult for me to inhale fresh air. That is why occasionally, I plan secret get-aways...these are one my ultimate escapes from the sucking reality we call LIFE.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus Part II ( Excerpt from John Gray's Book of the Same Title)

Men are like Blowtorches, Women are like OvensLasting Relationships - John Gray,Men are like Blowtorches, Women are like Ovens,A Man's Passion,A Woman's Passions,What Makes A Woman Special

When Martians and Venusians get together without understanding that they come from different planets, it is quite easy for a woman to misinterpret a man's interest and experience repeated frustration and disappointment. Often a man will suddenly become physically attracted to a woman and then just as quickly lose interest. He is like a blowtorch that can heat up really fast and then turn off in an instant. This Martian tendency is easily misinterpreted because women are not like blowtorches. Women are like ovens. They slowly heat up and slowly cool off.

A woman assumes that if a man is physically attracted to her, he is also interested in pursuing a relationship with her. She confuses attention, interest and attraction with affection or love. When this "love" is not lasting and he quickly loses interest, a woman can easily feel disappointed and unnecessarily begin to mistrust men. Unless she learns how men and women think and feel differently, she may become closed to men and thus limit her chances of finding the right man for her. Without this crucial understanding, dating for many women is a very dissatisfying and discouraging experience.

Certainly when a man is attentive to a woman, he could also be interested in having a relationship with her, but quite often he is not that discerning. To a certain extent, when he is enamoured of a woman, he just likes what he sees and he wants to touch. Then he behaves in ways that most women mistakenly assume to be clear signs and signals that he is interested in having a relationship.

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus

Men believe in the adage that “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
Women, on the other hand, might say that “if it ain’t broke, upgrade it.”


Consequently, when a woman offers advice or criticism to a man, the man could misunderstand that she considers him inadequate.
Men like to be considered competent, whereas women like to be cherished.
This difference could result in a misunderstanding.


When a woman asks questions such as “Do you have enough cash?” or “Did you remember your umbrella?” she is treating others as she would like to be treated, but not as a man might like to be treated.
When men share their problems, they want solutions.
When women share their problems, they want empathy.
This difference results in situations in which a woman shares her problems, the man offers solutions, and the woman becomes angry because the man “is just not listening!”
The difference could also result in a man feeling blamed for a problem whereas in fact he is not.

First Post


I am kinda having a hard time keeping thoughts to myself so I wanted a place where I can write all that I am feeling to somehow ease the burden. This will be a daily journal consisting of private rantings, experiences and all that jazz which I DON'T INTEND to share to anyone. This will be a private blog. NO ONE is allowed to read the posts here. So if you ever have the misfortune to visit this page, oooh alas... Im sorry but YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANYTHING here. Oh well, occasionally there will be stuff that I will be posting for public consumption but then again, it will be on rare occasions where I find it fit to share my thoughts to the world...
