Shut Up!

    You’re probably wondering why many men choose to shut their mouth whenever there’s a confrontation or a sudden burst of emotion...It’s as simple as we don’t want to make things complicated and that everything will subside and return to its normal place once we decide to keep quiet. But there are times that we can’t help but explode and finally speak our mind. Here are the most dreaded phrases you would want to hear to a guy if he chooses to finally say what he truly feels.

1) “We’re better off as friends”

2) “It’s not you, it’s me”

3) “I need time and space”

4) “Let me be me”

5) “I cheated on you”

6) “You’re a lousy partner in bed”

7) “I love her more”

8) “You talk too much, you said too little”

9) “Will you please set me free?”

10) “This is the end of the line”

Along Came Polly

         I just finished watching the movie “Along Came Polly” that starred Jenifer Aniston and Ben Stiller. Well, It brought about one important aspect in my life and that is the risk I should have done in my life a few years ago but I just refused to commit because of the fear I don’t want to encounter along the way. Actually I’ve seen the movie several times but still I profusely engaged two hours of my time savoring every bit of it. The story is nothing new, same old plot and sub-stories but one thing I like about the movie is its openness to take risks, that there’s no such thing as a planned life, for everything is changing. There is nothing constant in this world…that if you don’t live to survive you’ll never find that true happiness in life.

           I’ve been afraid ever since. I’m afraid to take chances. I’ve been hurt before not once but twice and yes more than what I could ever ask for. That’s why I prefer being on the safe side because I know it’s the right thing to do. Can you blame me? I only want what’s best for me after what I’ve been through. For crying out loud, it just sucks and I don’t want to be in that situation again. A feeling of loneliness and rejection after risking and giving everything you’ve got.

           But somehow along the way, after years of contemplating and convincing, I learned that if I don’t gamble my happiness, I would never be truly happy. That’s one thing I learned from the movie. Well, I guess I’m applying it in my life now. I’m starting to realize that yes I can risk my feelings not worrying that I’ll be hurt in the end. I’m now more accepting that once I risk love then I’m bound to suffer every consequence that might come along the way. It’s a choice we all have to make if we want to be happy. I don’t care much now on how I will feel if a relationship won’t work…I’m more focused on what I’ll be getting from it and what I can do to make the relationship stronger as we grow together. God is this me?

            I’m probably talking on high clouds again, but thanks to this movie for enlightening me on what I could have been missing if I wasn’t able to know how to risks things in my life. I’m sure more movies like this can somehow change if not maybe influenced us a bit on how we can handle our own issues in life.  So the best thing to do, live your life to the fullest, live your life as if it’s your last day because you never know what you’ll be missing if you won’t try at all.

Sorry Doesn't Make It Anymore

I felt we had a good thing going


I thought at last I found the key

I felt my fantasy was growing…

Into a new reality…


 

I should have seen the whole thing coming


You were just too good to be true


Soon as you set my motor running


You simply vanished in the blue



 

Sorry doesn't make it anymore

I've heard it all before

Same old excuses as you walk in my door


It's all become just a bore


I've got much better things to do


Than sitting waiting here for you



 

I hear you say you're really changing now


Your wondering days are finally through


Well I believe it when you show me how


The messages are getting through to you

Blogger's Delight

      There’s no denying, blogging has been a worldwide phenomenon and it keeps on growing and expanding everyday.  Everybody just can’t wait to share their stories may it be true or just a pigment of their imagination. So, to further understand this rare but truly exhilarating wonder of the 21st century, here’s a rundown on why people just can’t stop blogging their thoughts electronically on the net.

1) It’s now the cheapest form of entertainment.

2) You get to know people, interact and marry them in the end.

3) To rant on things you can’t express.

4) It’s the fastest way to earn money.

5) Blogging preserves one’s sanity.

6) There’s no better way to connect with the world than blogging.

7) To promote one’s ideologies and beliefs.

8) To be “in” since everybody is blogging.

9) It’s a creative outlet to release anxieties, fears and stresses in life.

10) Or simply, you’re just a bum who has nothing more to do but to blog.

Last Dance

I fall down again

I tripped on your story

I fade into one other crazy fault

Right on my heel I've held up

 

I wouldn't win if I try to do it all on my own

Stop it before I begin to believe that I can

 

If the world divides us now

And I'm the only one frightened

All I have is broken

As I fall tracing your steps

So the challenge is this

Would they find the faith and listen

The fate of the world resides

 

Waiting for your lead

I spend for your glory

I couldn't count the times I've broke your heart

But in the end I find myself starting over

 

In the heart that bled for

This madness I’m keeping

Sooner or later someone's gonna get it

I'm given up my pride for this last dance

Easy Way Out

       I’ve seen a lot of people coming in and coming out of my life in a flash. Some opt to stay long and some don’t. A handful wants to re-enter and a number of them just won’t. But whatever their reasons are, I’m glad that finally they’re out of my life now. And to share what I’ve experienced on these people, I’ll help you count the ways if that very special someone in your life has evil plans of leaving you unnoticed!

1) Gives more time to friends than spending time with you.

2) A sudden change of priorities from you to their work.

3) Silently operates on his / her personal life without conferring with you.

4) Dresses lousily and miserably in front of your friends and family.

5) Suddenly becomes emotional and expressive.

6) Sexual desires decrease.

7) Intentionally misses dinner and special occasions.

8) Always preoccupied and out of sink.

9) Loves being alone and away from you.

10) All of a sudden becomes available to all.

Emotional Freaks

      For a reason or two, they seem very deep to understand. They are often emotional and very much attached to their feelings. If you haven’t met them, then let this list give you an idea on what it’s like to get up close and personal with these so called “emotional freaks” of nature…the sensitive ones and they are everywhere…

1) Objectivity is not in their dictionary.

2) They easily get irritated and annoyed.

3) Expressing sentiments is their favorite past time.

4) You would often hear them listening to sentimental songs.

5) They lack self-esteem and confidence.

6) They would react fast even on simple things.

7) They love arguing for no reason at all.

8) Silent treatment is their best defense.

9) Surprisingly, they can love unconditionally.

10) Always honest when emotion is at stake.
