Just Having fun. For now.

You're so beautiful.

That's the only thing I said when we first met..

I met this girl in a social networking site. We exchanged messages. added and followed each other on our Social networking sites, Told jokes at night. Give advice to each other whenever we have a problem.

But.. we never exchanged phone numbers. why? maybe it spoils the fun. the excitement when we waited for each other to pop up on each chat messages, the email that will be sent to us that day. the tweets we must reply whenever we retweet each other statuses.

Then one day. out of the blue, she asked for my phone number cause she will be busy this coming month. well, It should've been me doing that but I'm not that guy who really likes to get numbers from some random strangers. shy? no, It's just I really don't do that. Getting numbers or Giving private and personal contact information is like giving your safety at risk.

So then It goes. we exchanged messages through text now. no more emails, no more tweets, no more chat messages. just plain text. we enjoyed talking to each other. we replied to each sms even if we were doing something. it's like getting a friend who's never gonna let you down.

A month have passed since we exchanged numbers. and then we got bored. You know, when you've been doing things for so long you'll get tired of it. and we got to the point when we were telling each other what we should and would not do. It becomes a relationship, a commitment.

Commitment.. that awful relationship when we restrict each other from doing things we like. that really is what I am avoiding right now. It's not that I don't want to take part of something huge here. It's just I don't want everything to fall apart. We built a relationship where we are open to each other. we tell our worst nightmare, we share our ups and down. We're pretty much a perfect representation of friendship. But everything must come to an end. We must decide whether we take it to the next level or remain like this and find another suitable partner in life. then we decided to meet up.

It was Saturday afternoon when I woke up. Didn't really know what to do that time. Then she sent me a message. "Let's meet up" that word clings to my mind. I felt this chill on my fingers and I began to panic cause I don't know what to do. told her where should we meet up and she replied quickly that I began to move around my room asking myself what to do. She said "Timog, 5pm, Starbucks." I said Okay, and she didn't replied. I did everything in an instant. feels like I began to be on an autopilot mode. next thing I know I am in my pants and shirt ready to go. It was 4pm++ at that time, and I'm gonna be late at our meet up.

I got there by 5:15pm. and saw her at the front table of starbucks. I was mesmerized. She had a short brown hair, white skin, braces and wears a tanktop and short. She was Hot. (Can't post her pic though she might get angry at me).

We talked, told how our day went and there's no awkward moment. feels like we've known each other for a long long time. We had drinks, we ate food and made fun of the people out there. we dubbed other people's conversation which is what I really do when I'm waiting for someone.

We really had a good time that day.

After that we had our dinner at Don Henrico's Timog. I told her Buffalo wings are the best and she told me that lasagna is one of her favorite (coincidence?). again we talked about our past, relationships, family, friends. then the moment of truth. we held hands exiting our way to the restaurant. but, sadly, we never talked what we had that day. we never asked what's the score between us. we never told each other "Let's take it to the next level".

Maybe we really don't want to get ahead of ourselves, Maybe we were just waiting for the perfect time. Maybe we really are meant to be like this. I really don't know what to do. And maybe she really don't know either..

But Maybe.. As long as we were happy and having fun. Who knows, Maybe, Just Maybe we will have to celebrate our anniversary someday. Just Maybe.

Presents this Valentines Day: Is it really Important?



I really don't know why do we guys need to please a girl by giving them presents. What's the point of it? In the long run those things will just end up at the garbage bin, some random lightpost on the street or worst be given back to you on break up. They say it's a girls thing. I'm not being rude, insensitive or something but those things are not even worth the try. why? because for me, that really doesn't matter. It just makes the mood and the moment more romantic. In a male perspective, being practical is what 1st comes to our mind. why buy those things if we know that it will just be withered, stored in a room and be dusted for a long time and it just brings back the memories of you being together at that time. It's better to try something new. my tip is do not even try the traditional things. be unique. give her something that will last forever, that you can tell your children and grandchildren how you both spend that valentines day. I know it's a little bit too late now cause it's valentines day today but try something different from the usual things that's been done every valentines day. give her a v-card. girls love to read (yeah, they love to read anything) or get a bar of chocolates put her name on it and give it to her (idea came with the help of my friend @XelaaaaleX). lit a floating lantern, go out of town for the night and comeback before sunrise, make her coffee/chocolate drink and put a note on the cup, there's so many things to be done. sky is the limit. they will really appreciate those things instead of giving them that lousy and overused flowers, balloons and chocolates. you just need some twist to those things and viola! a perfect valentines moment for a couple! It's Valentines day. there's so many things to be done. You just need the guts to do those things or be the lame guy who gets the flowers that will make your girl smile for a couple of minutes and then part ways as the night goes down. your choice.

wish i can say this to you.

Goodbye Philippines :( I wiill miss all my friends and love ones.. Gonna celebrate my special day alone.
Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.
valentines is so overrated. just buy your gift to your girl then hangout with them, don't take them on some fancy restaurant. go do something else, like watch a theatrical play or do hiking with her. just make the moment memorable. :)

How do the views in society effect people's behavior?


There is much controversy over this question, and many scientists and sociologists are studying it all the time.

Certainly, though, there are societal norms - behaviors that are generally accepted by all members of society to be right and normal. When one individual's behavior deviates too far from what is considered normal by the group, there's great upheaval - the group will decide whether to ostracize, to shun, or to accept the behavior given a bit of time. If the behavior harms no one, there is a greater chance of acceptance, but the society may take some time to observe, sometimes with wary regard. If the behavior is harmful to anyone in the society, the person is regarded with suspicion and may be avoided. If the behavior is obviously harmful, even subtly, then the behavior, and the person doing it, will be shunned and even ostracized.

In this way, we influence behavior - we encourage those behaviors that benefit society; examples: altruism, heroism, generosity, honesty. Some will discourage those behaviors whose benefits are questionable or where it may be perceived as harmful; examples: homosexuality, birth out of wedlock. However, in cases such as these, there may be a lot of debate on the issue by the society as a whole as to whether there actually is harm before a conclusion is reached by society as a whole. Definitely, the group will discourage harmful behaviors such as criminal acts, violence, and adultery. In these behaviors there is always an injured party, though the injury may not be physical.

As society progresses, some behaviors are re-visited. A good example is that as gays become more visible, the taboo that has kept them in the closet for many years lifts. It is a circular situation - as more is known, less is feared, and as less is feared, more come forward to answer questions, thus more is known and a lifestyle once ostracized becomes more mainstream. So it was with the women's movement beginning with the right to vote - as more women stepped forward to be heard, they were given more notice, more encouragement, and so more women stepped up - as a behavior begins to gain acceptance, more individuals will step in and add their voices to the few that began the movement.

Faith and morality play a large part in the influencing of behaviors. People of faith generally base their values on the Bible or other holy book, and feel that they have the moral high ground if behaviors are called into question. Sometimes this argument can become the over-zealous so-called protection of values based on the very narrow views of a few very vocal individuals, which then remains unchallenged for a period of time. As more is known and the view becomes broader, these objections often erode and societal influence is diminished.

As more and more people take an interest in an issue, influence will be felt quicker - if a subject isn't well known, it takes time for enough people to learn about it to create a swell of support or disagreement. Eventually, if the society is alive and vital, things change as progress is made and more is known. Time and information will help change society's view on any given subject, and then, once more, the influence will exert itself and things will change again.

The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears. And the kindest hearts have felt the most pain.
After all the shit's you've put me through.. I'm still inlove with you..
