ANG TSINELAS
Thursday, December 16, 2004

Tawagin mo na'kong corny, pero nung napanood ko yung pelikula nina Regine at Richard, eto lang ang nasabi ko: "WISH KO LANG".



Sabi sa pelikula, ang taong para talaga sa'yo (yung ryt one ika nga) ay para raw TSINELAS. Di naman sinasabing mukhang goma o balat ang hanapin mo. Ganito kasi yan.



Maraming uri ng sapatos ang nagkalat sa paligid - may school shoes, rubber shoes, boots, stilettos, sandals at kung anu-ano pa. Iba't ibang style, iba-ibang dekorasyon. At syempre, iba-iba din ang presyo. May mura, may mahal. Ikaw, pag pumasok ka sa opisina, di ba isinusuot mo ang mamahalin mong black leather shoes (kung lalaki ka) o yung high-heeled sandals mo (kung babae ka)? Yun ang isinusuot mo dahil yun ang gusto mong ipambalandra at ipakita sa iba buong araw.



Pero at the end of the day, kapag pagod ka na sa maghapong trabaho.habang nasa biyahe ka na pauwi ng bahay.ano ba'ng tatlong bagay ang ini-imagine mo'ng gawin? 1.) Magpahinga 2.) Kumain ng hapunan at 3.) Magbihis ng damit-pambahay at magsuot ng tsinelas. Tama, tsinelas!



Naisuot at naipagyabang mo na ang lahat ng magaganda at mamahalin mong sapatos. At maaaring marami ka na ring napahanga dahil dito. Pero sa bandang huli, kapag hindi mo na kailangang magbihis ng maganda, mag-pretend ng kahit na ano, nasa bahay na lang, walang make-up at ikaw ay ikaw na lang talaga, di ba't ang simpleng tsinelas pa rin ang hahanap-hanapin mo? At wala ka nang pakialam kung may tatak man ito, mamahalin o may kung anu-anong burloloy.basta ang alam mo, tsinelas ang gusto mo.



Sa buhay mo, marami kang makikilalang babae at lalake. Maganda, Gwapo, Sexy (pang-FHM), Mayaman, Malakas ang dating, Hanep ang porma, lahat na. Pero sa bandang huli, pareho nating alam na hindi yun ang pinakamahalagang ingredient ng tunay na pagmamahal. Kumportable ka ba sa taong 'to? Does he/she make you feel good about yourself? May kakaiba bang 'warmth' na ibinibigay ang taong 'to, na parang nagsasabi sa'yong 'you're home and safe at last'? Does this person make you happy? Tinatanggap ka ba niya kahit 'pambahay' na lang ang hitsura mo? Siya ba ang tipo ng taong alam mong makikinig kapag nire-report at ikinukwento mo na ang mga nangyari sa'yo buong araw? Think about it.



I'd be a lying asshole kapag sinabi kong aesthetics do not count. Pero ang puso, tumitibok yan sa mga di inaasahang pagkakataon. And sometimes you wonder about it, and most of the time, you even deny it. But deep down, you just know, and feel, that it's right.



Ito ay para sa mga taong nakahanap na, at naghahanap pa rin ng tsinelas nila. Congratulations at Good Luck! Nawa'y nakatulong ang obserbasyon kong ito, salamat sa pagbabasa. Happy hunting!


This was forwarded to me by a friend of mine.......and.... all I can say is.... this really hit too close to home.... DAMN!

Barbie's Letter To Santa
Tuesday, December 14, 2004

Dear Santa:

Listen you fat little troll, I've been helping you out every year, playing at being the perfect Christmas present, wearing skimpy bathing suits in frigid weather, and drowning in fake tea from one too many tea parties, and I hate to break it to ya Santa, but IT'S DEFINITELY PAYBACK TIME! There had better be some changes around here this Christmas,or I'm gonna call for a nationwide meltdown (and trust me, you won't wanna be around to smell it).

So, here's my holiday wish list, Santa:

1. A nice, comfy pair of sweat pants and a frumpy, oversized sweatshirt. I'm sick of looking like a hooker. How much smaller are these bathing suits gonna get? Do you have any idea what it feels like to have nylon and velcro crawling up your butt?

2. Real underwear that can be pulled on and off. Preferably white. What bonehead at Mattel decided to cheap out and MOLD imitation underwear to my skin? (It looks like cellulite);

3. A REAL man...maybe GI Joe. Hell, I'd take Tickle-Me Elmo over that wimped-out excuse for a boyfriend Ken. And what's with that earring anyway? If I'm gonna have to suffer with him, at least make him (and me) anatomically correct;

4. Arms that actually bend so I can push the aforementioned Ken-wimp away once he is anatomically correct;

5. Breast reduction surgery. I don't care whose arm you have to twist, just get it done;

6. A sports bra. To wear until I get the surgery.

7. A new career. Pet doctor and school teacher just don't cut it. How about a systems analyst? Or better yet, an advertising account exec. or even a Buyer at Ford Motor Company for goodness sake!

8. A new, more '90s persona. Maybe "PMS Barbie", complete with a miniature container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a bag of chips; "Animal Rights Barbie", with my very own paint gun, outfitted with a fake fur coat and handcuffs; or "Stop Smoking Barbie", sporting a removable Nicotrol patch and equipped with several packs of gum;

9. No more McDonald's endorsements. The grease is wrecking my vinyl;

10. Mattel stock options. It's been 37 years--I think I deserve it.

Ok, Santa, that's it. Considering my valuable contribution to society, I don't think these requests are out of line. If you disagree, then you can find yourself a new bimbo doll for next Christmas. It's that simple.


Yours truly,
Barbie

...I finally know how it feels... So this is LOVE...

Re: ...I finally know how it feels... So this is LOVE...

damn...did u really have to send that one to me??? love sucks and it makes the world go round at the same time. yeah but it still sucks...

(the message below was send to me by a dear friend of mine... and the message above was my reply to her...damn list. hehehe.)



1. Letting go of a person you've just learned to love

2. Reminiscing the good times you shared together.

3. Shielding your heart to love somebody

4. Trying to hide what you really feel

5. Trying to hide the tears that involuntarily fall from your eyes.

6. Loving a person too much.

7. Giving up someone you never thought of giving up.

8. Having the right love at the wrong time.

9. Taking the risk to fall in love again.

10. Hiding your relationship from someone else.

11. Controlling your feelings to avoid hurting a friend.

12. Thinking of him every waking and sleeping moment.

13. Knowing all the while that he never even thinks a single thought of you...

14. Letting go because everytime you see the person, you only fall deeper.

15. Holding back only to find out when it's too late, you both felt the same way, but were only scared to lose each other so much that you didn't let the feelings out.

16. Falling in love with someone you didn't mean to fall in love with.

17. Finding the perfect guy with only one problem, he doesn't love you.

18. Helping the one you love "make ligaw" to your friend.

19. Seeing the one you love crying for someone else.

20. The waiting also hurts like hell.

21. Having to hear "... I've met someone."

22. Agreeing to his wish to "just be friends."

23. Giving his freedom back because he'd be happier with her.

24. Asking you to forget everything that happened and be normal friends again.

25. Hearing that you're treated as a little sister/brother.

26. Sharing his future plans for the girl with you.

27. You stopped being friends because his girlfriend asked him to.

28. Being denied in front of people.

29. Telling you lies where he'd been when actually he was with a "new friend" or an "old flame."

30. He told you he'd be leaving you to return to his ex.

31. Breaking someone's heart.

32. Fighting for that one thing that would make you happy that is holding on to a person who can not guarantee you his commitment unless he fix himself... then you are left hanging for the moment... then he says "time will tell" but you still decided to hope in him and trust him...

33. PRETENDING you're OK when inside you're dying.

34. PRETENDING to be strong and RECOGNIZING your weak.

35. Lying in bed each night, thinking of that special person you can never have...

36. Being with someone you can't actually love...

37. Pretending you don't love a person whom you actually love...

38. Being in love...

39. Letting go even if you really don't want to...

40. Having no right to say you are hurting because it was your decision.

41. Seeing the person you love hurt because of you... and not being able to help that person...

42. Having the courage to say I LOVE YOU to the person you love and finding out afterwards that things will never be the same again when he doesn't treat you with the same closeness as before.

43. Having to face the fact that someone is capable of completely destroying the wall that you have set for yourself, leaving you weak and vulnerable.

44. Admitting that you love someone despite his imperfections.

45. Finding out that the more you try to hate him, the more you end up loving him, perhaps even more than before.

46. Realizing how stupid your mistakes was that led to your break-up.

47. The thought that this guy used to really love you and you loved him as well but you didn't give enough and he gave up on you

48. Sharing the one you love with SOMEBODY else...

49. Making a promise and realizing that when the time has come for that promise to be
delivered, the commitment is no longer there.

50. THE HARDEST THING ABOUT LOVE IS BELIEVING IT EXISTS AFTER YOU'VE BEEN HURT, LEARNING HOW TO FORGIVE, LEARNING HOW TO TRUST AND LOVE AGAIN...

I admit I still feel bad...about everything...but I did not regret my decision to leave my...bad situation before. I'm happy with my decision... and I'm glad I made that decision and I'm kind of proud of myself for having the strength to make that decision. *bow*

Reasons Why Women Find It Hard To Find The Man of Their Dreams
Saturday, December 11, 2004

1. The nice men are ugly.

2. The handsome men are not nice.

3. The handsome and nice men are gay.

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.

7. The handsome men without money are after our money.

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough.

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are cowards.

10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!!

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.


NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?

"Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with."
