i'm a very transparent person
you can easily detect when im happy and when im not
i take no time trying to hide my emotions
a friend once told me "its not always black and white, there are grays in this world"
i never really understood what he said...
maybe it was just the stubborn lad not wanting to listen...
well like the cliche goes...
fall flat in your face...
since i am the boss of my world- thoughts, words and actions- i fell flat on my face...
since i am in command of my own stupidity in this world... i have to learn to stand on my own...
2000-2006 has been years of challenges and turbulence for me...
years of unknowing and knowing me again...
of learning and re-learning...
of forgiving, letting go and forgetting...
I ran to people around me, trying to seek comfort, time and hugs... got none
Not because they didn't want to give me
But because most didn't believe I really needed it...
I was always known for being the CENTURY TREE...
the person who knew what to do with everything...
the person who fought for what she believed in...
the person who despite all freaking trials knew what to do, what to say and how to solve things...
Wish it was like algebra where I close my eyes and solutions just come to mind...
Wish it was like French class with Mademoiselle Beth Climaco... translations are just a speed dial away from my brain...
I wish life was like broadcomm, media comm, theatre prod, scriptwriting, media prod... it would have been easy to get a scholarship
If life was my thesis... i could easily get my 12 balls and a medal for perfect theories and application...
But life aint no where near anything i learned in school...
life aint about ABC... 123...
life aint about knowing what you want and getting what you want...
life aint about aiming high and dreaming high!
life is not just about me...
at my age today, i lost most of my idealism...
at my age today, learned that I cant have everything in this world...
at my age today, learned that wanting something badly is never equated to having it completely
at my age today, learned... when to fight and when to take a step back...
at my age today, learned... say what i want and shut when i should...
at my age today, learned... life is cruel and life is cool...
at my age today, in the year 2007- i shut my mouth... i turn my back... bid my bye... and i sail anew!
cause it's not about me losing...
its about me accepting that there are fights worth fighting for...
and there are those I just have to learn to simply let go...

flirting 101

Here are some rules that especially apply when you are flirting:
When you agree with what he/she says, give a little head nod and a verbal 'uh huh'. He/she will sense your interest and really appreciate that.
Watch the speaker's head movements. When speakers expect you to reply, they will unconsciously move their head slightly to indicate that it is your turn to speak. Also there will be a rise in the speaker's voice pitch. A similar rise also comes at the end of questions. You will show respect, and be appreciated, when you watch for a head movement and slight rise in pitch before you respond. Don't start talking before you get the signal he or she is done speaking!
When you speak, let your voice roll out under control, confident and relaxed. This attracts people who will admire you.
When replying to another speaker, respond with a positive and supportive statement to what they just said. "Yes, I like bananas, too!" This attracts people who will appreciate and admire you.
Validate them and their ideas - even if you don't agree. If you strongly disagree, move on to another subject. You can't change them and no need to lose a friend here.
When another speaker drops his or her voice at the end of a statement they are pretty well satisfied with what they said and ready to let it go. Don't you keep harping on that subject.
If a speaker holds their voice constant pitch at the end of a statement (eyes and hands stay as they are) they have more to say on that subject. Stand by, listen, and wait for more! Don't jump in on top of their words with your own comments until they are done speaking.
When you do speak, talk slowly and confidently. This will give you a little more time to form better responses and to say each word more precisely. This will improve your image as an educated, intelligent, and confident person. (You really are a masterwork in progress.)

Hints for everyone:
Keep your statements short. Give the other person a chance to reply and you won't be a bore.
Minimize 'I' and 'you'. Use 'we', 'our', and 'us' abundantly in your discussions. Form a team right away.
Use plenty of facial expressions and hand gestures. Show that you are 'alive'. Let your 'kid' come out and have fun with the discussion.
Don't use a lot of these 'fillers' in your statements such as, "You know?" or "You know what I mean?". They don't know what you mean until you say it clearly!
Speak loud enough to be heard, especially in noisy environments and to older people. (It is OK to flirt with older people. Charity work is good karma.)
You may use laughter as punctuation to your statements but use it by itself and not when you are still saying the words. That is, don't mix the two so that the words are lost. Every word is a jewel so don't hide or lose any.
Do let your sense of humor shine and make it fun for people to be with you. Life is short so make it fun for them and yourself.

Relationship Quiz: Are You a Good Kisser?

You may have started kissing a bit later than most people, have less experience than your peers, or are still unsure of your kissing skills - somewhat. You are on the right track, but shyness may be a factor. It doesn't matter really however, as being inexperienced just means that you haven't picked up any bad habits! Practice some more with your partner, ask them what they like, and explore a bit.

while you were sleeping

Sandra Bullock plays Lucy, a lonely fare collector on the Chicago elevated railway. The highlight of her days is selling a token to a handsome commuter, Peter Callaghan (played by Peter Gallagher), on whom she has a secret crush. Working on Christmas day, Lucy witnesses Peter being mugged and pushed onto the tracks, and she rescues him from an oncoming train. Peter falls into a coma and she accompanies him to the hospital, where she fantasizes aloud, "I was going to marry him". A nurse overhears her and, misinterpreting the situation, tells the head physician, a policeman and Callaghan's family that Lucy is his fiancée. At first Lucy is too caught up in the madness of everyone's panic to tell the truth, and then she met the brother (Bill Pullman) and next is totally outrageous..
