Few Good Men

       They say it’s impossible to find good men nowadays. I beg to disagree and I’m proud that there are still a few like us who knows exactly what the word means. I’m not being arrogant or something but really I am one. I’ve been a responsible, loving and a good man all my life with the exception of some neurotic episodes that once in awhile happen along the way. Ok to help you find us, here are some signs that the man you are with right now is one of the endangered few good men of the society!

1) Selfless. He thinks more of the welfare of others than himself.

2) He never asks anything in return.

3) Offers help and provide solutions to a given problem.

4) Understands the need to be needed.

5) Cries and is open about his inner feelings.

6) Finishes any task on time with flying colors.

7) Respects privacy.

8) Listens to every word you say with compassion.

9) He is very patient.

10) Fair in everything he does. 

Susan's Got Talent

       We all live in a cynical world where everyone seems to have his or her way on judging people based on their appearances and looks. To hell with everybody else, because Susan Boyle, a 47-year old spinster proved them all wrong.

       The British audience in Britain’s You’ve Got Talent was completely stunned when an old, credulous lady tried to make a name for herself in the number talent show in Britain. As Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan were interviewing the funny looking Susan, the unruly audience laughed at her thinking that she was just one of those dorks wanting to get attention on the said show. Everybody was screaming and making faces as Susan answered every question that the 3 judges were throwing at her. Its like judging by the way she looks…she definitely can’t sing. Ok the stage was set. Susan before actually showing off her talent was already judged, laughed at and was humiliated. Then come the time to prove Susan’s worth. Inspired by singer Ailyn Page, Susan sang I Dream A Dream. The old woman who was crushed by the audience’s discriminating reactions stunned them with her angelic and enchanting voice singing every note with brilliance. Susan sang the song with class, elegance and charm leaving everybody shocked. Even the 3 judges can’t believe what they were hearing.  The boastful and arrogant audience suddenly turned into legion of fans wanting to hear more from Susan. They gave her a standing ovation and the respect she truly deserves. What a world-class performance! Today, Susan Boyle’s superb performance is continuously gathering views from around the world having 30 million views in just two weeks. Truly an inspiring story to share about.

        Judging a person whether by color, age, looks, shape, and size simply is an important lesson learned here. It’s not how you look that matters…rather its how you carry yourself and bring out the best in you. The story of Susan Boyle moved me. It’s a constant reminder that we still live in the real world and even though our lives revolved around the glamour and beauty of Hollywood, what matters most is still…being human. This is definitely a wake up call as Amanda Holden said after hearing the powerful performance of Susan. Slap your face, wake up and be moved by British newest sensation Susan Boyle.

 

Frequent Visitors

         My life has been an open book, that’s the way I want it to be. I want to be transparent to the world, sharing what I feel and trying to let people understand why I’m feeling this way. It’s not about wanting to get a reaction; it’s more of letting it all out so I can live the next day.

           I must admit that life hasn’t been good to me. I’ve been living in a shell full of hatred and everybody knows that, well to those who have been reading my blogs. I’ve been honest and true to whatever I feel. Ok I’ll get to the point; I’ve been wanting to be happy. I wanted to live life to the fullest but every time I tried, I almost always fail. I want to meet someone worthy of my love, but again, I always fail. I always end up meeting people whose purpose is just to prolong the agony of wanting be finally happy. I had it all. I’ve seen these frequent visitors coming in and out of my life. For almost 2 years now I’ve been given the chance to meet many girls but they all end up like the rest who just knock in and never enter the door. They are all beautiful with great personalities. They make me happy, I made them happy as well but time just won’t be right. There are many factors why these relationships won’t actually work.  Honestly, I really don’t know if I can be happy again. Given all these opportunities, I really can’t ask for more. Well, maybe in time, someone could actually stay for good and never leave that door again. I’m just hoping…I’m really hoping.

         I believe in the saying that somewhere out there, there’s this one person truly for you and that you just have to be patient because surely that person will find his/ her way just to reach you. Ok, I want to be true. I want life to be as real as it can be. I just hope that the next visitor who will knock at my door would be the last and would stay here in my arms for good. It’s a wish, a dream that I know will someday come true. Hope floats…

David Vs Goliath

       How will I start this one? Hmmm…ok I have nothing against him its just he’s the lucky guy. Honestly speaking, there’s no way I can be the man as he is to her now. Confused? What am I talking about? Well, see for yourself as I give you the 10 things why in this particular instance, Goliath is victorious over the little David!

1) He definitely is taller than I am.

2) His body is a lot better than mine that is for sure.

3) He maybe is sweeter than me.

4) She met him first.

5) They been a lot together compared to hours of conversation.

6) Looks? He’s better looking than me.

7) He knows exactly what makes her happy.

8) He’s willing and able I guess.

9) He changed her life completely.

10) Most importantly, she loves him.

Artificial Euphoria

        I was browsing at my emails and my accounts in the net when all of a sudden I saw this very lovely smile. I know I’ve seen this smile before but I just couldn’t remember where and when. Anyway, it was euphoric; I really don’t know what to think that very moment. It’s as if I knew her all the while and all I need is that smile to confirm the attachment that has been pulling me closer to her.

         Ok, I composed myself and after awhile I was already adding her to my account. Honestly, I’m not sure whether she will accept my friend request or not since she doesn’t know me at all.  Ok I let time pass by, after 30 minutes I was amazed that she actually added me up plus a message along with the confirmation. Huh! I was really happy that time. It was like heaven, imagine she just added me and it was like I won in a lottery. I was really anxious and started to answer her queries. She was asking me how did I find her. I replied and after that as what they always say, the rest is history. We exchanged views, opinions and a little or should I say a portion of our personal lives. It was a series of replies that almost lasted for hours. Ok seems everything is going in the right direction. She was really very accommodating and friendly, so divine! I thought it would never end. I just did and it ended, the happiness just dipped down when she said she would be marrying soon. What the fuck!!! My world turned 360 degrees in 3 seconds making it a real hard knock out on my part. I was stuck for a moment, had my cigarette and snapped again after realizing what I’ve just read. Huh! I almost forgot that I just meet her now and it’s no big deal! Ok, actually I’m glad she’s honest and proud that she will be marrying soon, that is something. I mean a girl being proud not only of her soon to be wedding but subconsciously of her man as well. That is really something for me, a perfect lady proud of her man! Surely that would be the lady I would want to walk down in the altar.

          I was in cloud nine, now reality is slowly inching back in. Welcome to the planet, welcome to reality and let go of dreamland. This is the real world and it’s about time to wake up and face reality! I should be happy after all, I met her, I was able to converse with her and even felt ecstasy for a couple of hours again. Hmmmm…priceless! It’s what you call…artificial euphoria!

Assholic Sacrifice

        When Holy week comes I can’t help but think of the things that I have done in my life may it be good or bad. Hmmm…maybe because this is only the time when I can reflect on my solitude since everybody is doing it anyway. What a lame excuse!?! But seriously, though I’m a self-confessed asshole, I still find time to make sacrifices. Yes, you heard me right, sacrifices!

         I’m not the type who will do Visita Iglesia, crucify myself in Pampanga or whip myself under the heat of the sun. In my own little ways, I do my thing like maybe quitting smoking for a few days or perhaps not drinking for a week. Actually, it’s not really how big or how little is your sacrifice. For me, as long as it’s real and coming from your heart then there will be no question. Another sacrifice probably would be participating in processions and other church activities, which during holy week are very evident. Find time to be one with the rest of the community that could be one! It may be as simple as that but still, its not part of your usual routine or things that you normally do. Holy week comes once every year so why not make the best of what you can do to make it meaningful and worthwhile.

          We live in a fast paced-world, a cynical one, a place where technologies rule but we should not forget that Jesus Christ sacrificed himself to save us and that this is the right time to remember all the things he has done for us. I’m not being evangelic or something, I’m a sinner no doubt about it but I know when to stop and give respect to when needed. Huh! That was tough! Anyway, may you have a peaceful holy week and a meaningful one!
