Hey Yah! <

3 simple rules

There's this Three Simple Rules I have learned today:

1.If you do not go after what you want, you’ll NEVER have it;
2. If you do no ASK, the answer will always be a “NO”;
3. If you do not STEP FORWARD, you’ll always be in the SAME place.

Learn to take risks. And see where your brave heart can take you!

"the one"

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 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; inconsequentials become dealbreakers 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.”

most prized possession...

Typhoon Peping had come to the Philippines, and so many Filipinos are really very scared of what it has bring. Typhoon Ondoy has just left the country, and now there’s more suffering and problem for our countrymen. It made me think of those people who have nothing left because their houses were completely submerged in water. People, both rich and poor, were affected. If it were you, what material possession will you rescue? As for me, I’ll probably rescue my laptop computer first and foremost. Haha! How about you?

shopping, again!

I went home shopping the other day to buy some necessities for my new pad (and least to brighten up my day after what I said so in my last blog entry). I bought some bathroom supplies, and some stuff for my bedroom, as well as new pillow sheets. I wanted to buy everything that I could possibly need. It would have been nice if I were buying for my own home, but since I can’t afford my own house yet, maybe then...someday! But I am contented with the place that I have now. So anyway, I was done shopping in an hour, when I arrived at the cashier to pay for my stuff, I looked at the receipt printer, and I was shocked. Shopping can get very expensive! I won’t even tell you how much I paid for everything, but I’m telling you, it’s not cheap. I’m officially broke! LOL...

a friendly advice

If you're having a shitty week...listen to your all time favorite songs. Songs of your past...when you were in your 'happy-go-lucky' & 'care-free' days. Songs that remind you who you really are & let you be yourself again.

I'm sending my very heart-felt "F*** YOU" to you...you know who you are. And by the way, the songs helped. I'm just 35% mad at you!
