Blogging While at Work Is Bad for Your Health

LOVE

I wanted to post this message in light of some witty remarks regarding my handling my veeeerrry open love life. Para sa mga kapatid na nage-enjoy looking / jeering at people's love lives...try to look at your own din. =P

Advice lang..... Message: To all guys and gals........

Find a guy who calls you beautiful
instead of hot,
who calls you back when you hang up on
him,
who will stay awake just to watch you
sleep.
Wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world
when you are in your sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends,
who thinks you're just as pretty without
makeup on.
Wait for the one who is constantly
reminding you
of how much he cares about you
and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends
and
says, "...that's her."

GUYS...

Find a girl who calls you baby faced
instead of
hot or sexy
who can't stand it when you hang up on
her and
calls right back,
who would sit there for hours looking into
your eyes,
who doesn't care what you look like, but
what's
inside counts the most,
Who looks at you with the twinkle in her
eyes and
kisses you on the cheek instead of the lips,
Wants to be with you in public, even if
you wear
those old grass stained and ripped pants
with the
bleached jersey like always,
Wait for the girl who is a constant
reminder of
your happiness and joy, who makes you
smile just
by knowing she loves you back.
Wait for the girl who you give piggy back
rides to
in public and she still is in view of her
friends,
while she gets off and you hear her
go: "you're
the one for me, for always"


The gift of being single Message: TOO often people want what they want, or think
they want at the moment,
which is usually "happiness" right now. The irony of
their impatience
is that only by learning to wait, and by willingness
to accept the bad
with the good do we usually attain those things
that are truly
worthwhile. I have a blessing which is sometimes
seen as a curse. I am blessed
with the gift of being single.

For most of us twentysomething young
professionals, it seems the world
has already come up with its own set of
expectations on how we should
live life. The world expects us to finish school in our
early twenties,
get a job, find the love of our lives by the time we
reach our
mid-twenties, marry and have kids. But the thing
is, not everyone sees their
dreams come true in the same way. In this article,
I shall try to
endeavor to change the way the world looks at
being single.

The Art of Contentment. For most of us, being
single will be more of a
phase than a final destination. This is the best
place to practice the
art of contentment. Someday, I'm sure most of us
will fall in love and
get married. But the thing is, love will always be
tested. Someone more
handsome, more charming, richer, funnier, sweeter
would come along. If
you have not practiced the art of contentment as a
single person,
chances are you would be tempted to want that
and not cherish your chosen
one.

Practicing the Art of Contentment as a single
person means that you
take what life gives you, good or bad, you're willing
to see it through.
It means you don't walk away every time things get
tough because it
builds in you patience, perseverance,
understanding and a hundred different
virtues that people in a hurry will never have. Being
single means you
would find how it feels to be alone thus, allowing
you to cherish every
moment you spend with your chosen one. The art
of contentment means you
wouldn't mind if life had to make you wait for so
long to find the love
of your life, because you know that the waiting
would only make the
finding much sweeter.

A Time to Know Yourself Better. Being single is a
time of your life
when you can get to know yourself better. You can
pursue different
interests and passions without having to ask
another person's approval. It is
a phase when you can keep focus on other things,
discover your
potentials and talents, and see yourself become
more than what you expect to
be. Allow yourself to surprise you. Stop wasting
precious energy trying
to figure out why you're still romantically
unattached. It's all in the
mind. Take the time to go see your friends, spend
time with your
family, do charity work and you will realize that you
are not, and never for
one moment, was alone. Try to get to know
yourself first before you try
to get to know other people. To be truly loved
means to be known and
accepted for who you are. How do you expect
other people to know you and
to love you, when you don't know who and what
you really are?

A Choice between Good and Best. Sometimes the
dilemmas we face are not
between what is absolutely bad and absolutely
good. Sometimes, it's
between good and best. Treat this stage of your life
as a phase to
evaluate who is good for you and who is best for
you. Sometimes, you won't
hear music, or feel magic to know who's best for
you. The heart just knows
and it doesn't need any romantically charged
scenario to decide on the
matter. Trust in your heart, and trust that time will
eventually lead
you to, not to the perfect partner, but to the most
suitable partner for
you. Being single is a phase of life that we need to
be thankful for,
because being single means our hearts have yet to
choose the best one
for us.

Almost a Non-committal. Jane Austen once wrote,
that it is a truth
universally acknowledged that a single man (or in
our times a woman), in
possession of a good fortune is in search of a
spouse (just to be
politically correct). Well, that was what the old
school wanted us to believe
in. Married life is a path most of us would take,
however, it is not
the only path there is. Relieve yourself of the
pressure and stop making
every single, straight guy friend a prospect. You
have no business
"entrapping" them and asking (which is more
like "putting a gun in the
head") them of their exclusive attention, if you're
not ready for
commitment yourself. Sometimes, when you
spend too much time trying to find a
boyfriend, you normally end us marrying the first
loser who comes to your
door.
Take your time, the world will wait. Being married
doesn't guarantee
that it will make your life happy. It doesn't
guarantee anything at all.
Sometimes, it only brings two miserable people
together only to make
their life even more miserable. Without the right
intention, the
emotional maturity, financial security and of
course, unwavering love, you're
better off unattached.

Living Life. Don't put your life on hold for Mr. Right
but don't let it
waste away with Mr. Wrong. Life is about things
that you do and happen
to you everyday. It's not about the things that could
have happened but
never did, or things that you think would happen in
the future. Live
life now. Live it to the fullest and stop beating
yourself up, trying to
be perfect on a Saturday night date. Allow life to
surprise you with
it's most wonderful blessings.
