And so there it is, it's fun to fall in love. However, there is always madness, roller coasters and dramas.

It feels so good to fall especially when someone's there to catch you. I'm lucky enough to have that someone. Or rather, I'm lucky to experience love in general. As the photo says, life's too short not to experience it. I must say, my life in college has been an adventure in searching the "right one". The person may not be "right forever" yet he is the "right one for now".

I don't know, I've never really looked at my future having the love aspect which is pretty funny. I have everything panned out except for that. Yikes! I'm getting old when I have my future planned. But nonetheless, love is spent at every moment that we live. <3

Any ideas, how I can easily erase it? Or why can't I even erase it?

The day that the Philippines was out of the map. This is the first time I've seen this picture of Ondoy. And this typhoon practically erased and paralyzed Metro Manila. Iwasn't able to experience the floods that were chest-deep but the repurcussions of this typhoon was felt even in the very walls of Ateneo.

It was 9am and everything waas dead lock in Katipunan, waters are rising and the storms raged like a fiesty fairy wanting to destroy everything in its path. Since we were in school, we decided to take refuge in our humble org room and waited for everything to settle. While waiting our connection to the outside world was Facebook, I know there isn't any signal in our orgroom but the Globe connection made it worse.

I was trying to contact home but to no avail. We waited and waited up until there was the announcement that we have to stay for the night. Since our org is catered to the fellow Ateneans, we opted to stay and give charging services at the least.

Also, we shifted early in the morning to help out in responding to people in need. I didn't know we can be productive even if we are stranded. Up until now, I can still feel that urgency to help. I'm putting off some academic work so I can help out not just in school but in other places.

Bayanihan can really be seen now, I just hope it'll forever be there and redirected to other things as well. This country needs changing, all we need is an eye-opener.

I'm not a good writer. I try to be but then this seems like a futile attempt compared to all the other writers around me. It seems that my grammar is slowly leaving me and making a grammar fail. Sometimes, I think management subjects take away your imagination and at the same time, kill your english. I really don't know why there is such a thing.

Before, I used to write about my day. I saw the transition of my blogs. It was ranting years before or how my day turned out. Next were rants about "someone" in my life and now, questions, realizations about me, my life and things around me. Most of it are about love but well, it's what makes our lives, right?

Oh well. I wish I can write well.

1. A man won’t let go if he really loves you.
Do not hold on to someone who has let go of you. He does not love you and does not value having you. Believe me, he will not let go if he really loves you. There is another reason he is not willing to tell.

2. Do not look for reasons why he ended the relationship.
There is only one reason why he ended your relationship. He just does not love you. Do not waste your time thinking of reasons or what you should have done. Move on and be open to a man who will truly love you.

3. Do not get hang up on your past.
Do not nag or distrust your current boyfriend just because your ex hurt you. Do not treat him or the relationship the same way. Do not compare. He will not react the same way as your ex. Do not be worried that your simple mistakes will cause him to look for another girl. What happened with your ex was not your fault. It was not because you didn’t guard him enough or you didn’t make him happy enough.

4. Do not look into images.
How many times have you met a girl who didn’t have the best image in school or at the office, but you get to know the girl and found out she was actually extremely nice? Do not rely on images. Oftentimes, it is far from reality. Do not fear men just because your “supposedly” perfect ex-boyfriend mistreated you.

5. Always have your own set of rules.
Set your limits on how far you’d go for a guy. It’s perfectly ok to give and do everything as long as it’s worth it. And it’s worth it if the guy is treating you right.

6. Do not be scared to lose him.
Don’t be scared that he’ll break up with you. Once you are afraid of losing him, you easily can be taken advantage. Be strong and if something is unacceptable, do not accept it and speak up.

7. Avoid calling your guy.
It’s a guy thing. The relationship will definitely be better if it’s the guy who’s calling, not the girl. He will get tired of you if you keep on calling. He will lose interest and challenge. More so, he will get annoyed. But it’s a girl thing also that your fingers get too itchy until you dial his number. But avoid as much as possible. Call only if really needed (like checking if your suspicions are reasonable).

8. There is a guy who will value you.
There is a guy out there who can make you feel valued, appreciated, and loved. And I mean, not just during your first few weeks together. So don’t lose hope. Don’t settle for a lesbian if you are not attracted to women. There is a man out there who can love you like a girl can.
Also, do not believe him when he says it’s just the way he really is. He’s not the sweet or expressive-type. Remember during your first few weeks together? Where has that sweet guy gone? He simply is not that into you anymore.

9. Always be the only one, no matter what.
Do not ever fall for a guy who has another girl, be it his wife, girlfriend, or any girl that he says he just can’t get rid of for whatever reason. If you truly believe that he loves you and for some reason, he can’t leave or let go of another girl, then you are no different from any ordinary mistress.

10. He must respect you.
No matter how long the relationship has been, he should always show respect towards you.

11. If he fooled you, end it.
Philandering once is enough. You can never trust nor respect the person again.

12. Never start a relationship the wrong way.
Do not steal another girl’s man, for whatever reason. Nor should you enter a relationship for the wrong reasons (loneliness, on the rebound, getting back at your ex, man-dependency, etc.) it is bound not to last. You will only end up wasting more years of your life.

13. Do not force yourself into a relationship.
Do not get into a relationship just because your friends are getting impatient with your dating escapades and the one hasn’t come yet. Do not choose who to say yes to based on superficial things like money, looks, cars, etc.. If you are even thinking of these things, you have not fallen in love yet.

14. Do not settle.
If you are not happy anymore with your relationship, break up instantly. He will not stay with you forever no matter how upright he might seem to be. Eventually, he will also want love and happiness in his life.

15. A relationship has to have love.
Love is the only thing that will push you to give your efforts into making the relationship work. And believe me, keeping a relationship requires genuine efforts of both parties.

16. Don’t be afraid to be single.
It’s fun to be single, try it. You can go out whenever and wherever you want. You are free. You can date whomever you want and you get to go out for free! Do not get a boyfriend just for the sake of having one. Do not settle.

17. Be a good girl.
Be a good girl to attract a good guy. Enter the relationship with sincere intentions. Take the guy and the relationship seriously with the plan of spending the rest of your life with that person (of course, this is after you had your bit of fun in your younger years). If you compare your flings from your real relationships, you will know that the latter makes you happier and more fulfilled.

18. Love without limits.
Whether you loved and gave everything or loved but held out for some things, if the relationship ends, you still get hurt. But if you gave your everything, you were happy and you could say that it was worth it. If you didn’t give your all, you get hurt for nothing.

19. You will get over him.
Love is over-stated. Love eventually ends and you are free to love another.

20. Be the one.
Act like you are the one. Don’t be a nagger. Don’t hinder his gimmicks. Don’t give in to him too easily. Make him treat you as important. Don’t be easy. Don’t be like every other girl he had in his life.

1. I had my first cold rock experience! I must say it's pricey for an ice cream but oh boy! I like it. I had Ferrero and Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. Yey!
   
2. I watched KimmyDora with Marcelle and I must say there's hope for Filipino movies. It's not slapstick comedy, swear! It's not all the time I get to watch Filipino movies and my jologs side being unleashed. Hurrah!
3. OD seminar and Sir Chris can really rock the house. How similar can his lovelife be with mine, really now. Then again I ask, it's not scripted, ayt?

1. I kinda argued with someone and got really scared. I love you then and there. Things just got better. Aww. My Sky's back! That's one thing and it's been a week.

16 September 2009

1. I went to a sorta roadtrip with Alex to NAIA for an LS (HR subject) interview. I learned a lot from the company and then learned that my mom is really close to them. She is really hoping for me to graduate and so are the people there. Come now, pressure! Go, go, go.
2. I didn't attend any of my classes (I only had one for the day) and went to lunch with Jopet and Sheena. I missed the days when we three used to hangout. Summer's back, baby! Happiness! <3

1. We went to a food expo and tried on the shoes of being a field reporter and well, it's HARD. Getting the story done, what questions to ask, the right people to talk to and other FAIL moments we had. But then, nothing can be more satisfying than trying different foods! FOR FREE. Look, we even got a picture with Cory Quirino. (In the picture: Mea, Cory Quirino, Me)
   



2. Note to self, try out different dips for bread/croutons, Japanese pizza is yummier than Takoyaki. Nya.
   
3. Also, find the DC in if you want to charge a camera.
4. If you're in a food expo, drop everything even class.
5. Storm? Nothing beats a free ride back to school. Nothing beats a nice comfy car with cool jams. Don't stop believin' hold on to that feelin'

1. PR is on the roll. BERDE'SKOOL :D Hahaha. Find out more :D

Ok, ok. Everything's really eventful and it seems like everyday is full of cheese but then I should take note that I'm a human person. I do get sick too. It was during the long weekend that I got sick and still tried to be productive. And sure I was, well at least half. I'm expecting more sleepless nights which makes me sleepy now. Toodles! Till next time.

I never thought that similarities or histories can be related with my life. Ha!

My organization has a lot of complicated love lives. It's my turn to have one now. If our speaker, who was an alumnus from our org had Girl A, B and C. I have my Boy A, B and C but in a sort of similar matter.What struck me most was the similarity of our speaker's Girl A and my "love". Therefore, I call him Boy A.

It's a complicated situation for me since Boy A is in close proximity. And since he was in the same seminar I am in, there is a GREAT chance of me and him getting together. Thanks to my friends, in the "Perfect Triangle" activity we were beside each other. It doesn't end there.

TRUST FALL. We were one of the people who will catch the fallers. It came to a point that I was in front of him and in short, facing each other. I was actually avoiding him, I don't know how to face him with everything else and me trying to get back with him and moving on at the same time. However, our eyes met. It was long enough to establish eye contact and enough for me to look into his eyes and "say something". I can't help but smile or just look at him for a time yet awkward thoughts came in and we went back to our thing, catching people for trust fall.

It wasn't the only time that our eyes met. It was during a discussion and then, when I our eyes met, I said silently, "What?" and he's like, "What?" Ha! So much for eye contact.

I really want to be normal around him but that was funny. Maybe, I really like my Boy A. If Girl A for the speaker was a love - like - nothing stage, Boy A is a like - nothing - like to a possible maybe love thing (depending on how things pan out).

That eye contact pushed me to send a message that I was glad to see him today. Ha! Oh well. So much for that. I hope he is glad that he saw me too. Nya.

Must work for my paper :D

Someone told someone that I had something written. I wonder what was the reaction. Curious me but then, what would happen anyway? Move on.

Realizations:

-- Bad things happen to strengthen our faith.

-- I should listen to myself. No, I should listen. Period.

-- Free chips and sandwich will get you through school.

-- Skype is better than YM. Note to self: Buy earphones and mic.

So much for today. Must. Sleep. Now. Bye.
