Weight Issues

I was out for lunch alone and a friend saw me eating lunch and commented if I was pregnant. Uhm, Immaculate Concepcion? Yes, I have issues with weight again. How hard I try to keep my love of fine dining at bay, the call to taste savory treats still tempts my palatte. Yes, I will have to diet again. I have to ask a friend her diet tricks though. Mine was not really healthy and normal.Ei, anyone care to share diet tricks here?
Of Facebook notations.
One girlfriend of mine was actually out on a traditional date. The movie, popcorn and a kiss in the cheek kinda date. Frankly, it's about time she does that. Her regular date guys is someone she has met at a bar. And she wasn't really successful for the longest in the relationship arena. I'm praying that she stay and play with the "slow" pace. This could be the change she is looking for.

on courage

I was going around the web and then Facebook. I bumped into a old housemate's blog site in friendster that I didn't know she manages and writes. I was reading through her posts and I noticed how "no holds barred" she is and putting all her thoughts into it without minding how it'll look from someone else's point of view. Then I thought, how I come I don't have her courge?

There were years when I started a blog site that I don't want anyone to see or read until now. Well, technically, the blog site I manage is practically new, a year old, and this On Sugar thing just happened recently. There were times when I have no one else to think about but myself and how I look and think about things randomly at my own perspective and risk. Without judgment. Hear hear.

A lot of things have been going on and that I think about. I guess, for an excuse :D, we still have to mind our responsibility and accountability of what we put out on the world wide web about ourselves and what we think without judgment and prejudices.

Now, blogging is more like what interests me at the moment or for earning some "dolyares" online. Gone are the posts about what really matters and what really is inside this heart of mine.

So from here on forward, I pray for courage.

Beautiful In My Eyes


Beautiful In My Eyes - Joshua Kadison Music Code

You're my piece of mind, in this crazy world
You're every thing I've tried to find
Your love is a pearl
You're my Mona Lisa
You're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...

The world will turn
And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange
We'll have our fell of tears
Our share of sight
My only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...

You will always be beautiful in my eyes
And the passing is the show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes

And there are lines upon my face
From a life time of smiles
When the time comes to embrace
For one long last wine
We can laugh about how time really flies
We won't say goodbye
Cause true love never dies
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...

You will always be beautiful in my eyes
And the passing is the show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes

The passing is the show
That you will always grow
Ever more beautiful in my eyes...

Being the "Cool Girl"

The thing about that cool girl is that she still gets her feelings hurt. She still has reactions to how she's being treated. She still hopes he'll call, wonders when she'll see him again, and if he's excited about being with her.

The Harmony-seeking Idealist in love

Take the free personality test!

Even if you can fall head over heels in love - like all Idealists - all in all you are still the reserved personality type. With you it takes a relatively long time until your counterpart has figured out that you have developed a romantic interest in him/her. You only show your feelings when you are very sure of yourself and the prospects for the relationship. In matters of love the word “flighty” is not a part of your dictionary. You incredulously notice affairs of others and can’t imagine how anyone can play that furiously with their own and the feelings of others. You are a very consistent and faithful person and you are looking for a partner like that - sometimes it takes a very long time.

When you are too reserved and hesitate too long before you really trust someone to open up to him/her, you make it very difficult for potential prospects. There is no question that your personality is one of the most complex and complicated types around. So it is no wonder that less complicated types sometimes become demoralized and give up before your flirtation has gained momentum.

Once you have committed yourself to a partner, it is for life. There is no going back. Since a relationship is that important to you, one of your most important goals in life is to keep the given promise. Your obligation is sacred and you expect your partner to feel the same way. Because it was difficult for you to trust, you have a real problem forgiving a betrayal of confidence like an affair as well as other behaviors that you see as treachery. All your aspirations are focused to form emotional oneness with your partner and to merge with him/her as much as is humanly possible. If your partner feels as you do and opens him/herself up to you, it can form the basis for a close and exclusive relationship. You run the risk of disappointment and hurt though, if you give your love to someone who wants no part of this intimacy. For you, it is either all or nothing.
