Just My 0.02 About Women

A few days ago I was having some healthy debate wih some of my buddies about women. I have to say I stand by my opinions:

1. Most guys don’t know what they want in a woman. All they know is they want pussy…and more pussy.

2. Don’t kiss and tell. As much as its satisfying to your ego when you brag about your exploits with women and your buddies say “you’re the man”, I say practice the art of being discreet and just learn to shut up.

3. I believe any man has the ability to cheat, its in their genes but I also believe and know a lot of good guys out there. 

4. Women don’t get attracted solely on a man’s physical appearance.  They may giggle or swoon over handsome hunks but it will never be a deal-breaker (uniike with men). It will be rare to find a girl who chooses a man based on looks only. 

5. I’m not into Pinoy style of courting. You don’t giive premium to women you barely knew, Don’t do anything fancy to impress or buy her love. I say give her flowers, gifts or serenade her when you’re already in a relationship with her. Sweep her over her feet because she is already the love of your life.

6. It’s okay for women to tell that they like you. The things is, they don’t do that to every guy they meet, only the ones whom they really like. They are actually reluctant to say those things because like men, we all have that thing called fear of rejection.

7. There’s nothing wrong when a woman sleeps with you early in a relationship. Or if a woman is in a phase of her life where she only want a casual relationship. You should never judge them.

8. Young single moms are not “easy women”.

9, Actually, there is no such thing as “easy women”, they are the ones who know what they want and goes for it. That misunderstood character doesn’t only apply on their lovelife but also on other areas of their life like her career, dreams, etc. And that for me is an admirable trait.

10. Lastly, stop the perception of a  “Dalagang Filipina” as mahinhin, submissive and  docile. That’s just plain old fashion stereotype.

The Dream

Here is a soul-stirring song Brightest Light by Uncollected 

I know it’s easier to give up your dreams
And to be yourself is harder than it seems

How can I change the world if I can’t change myself
I guess the only thing I can do is take the first step

Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light

I know the world is cruel to the dreamer’s heart
And to find yourself alone is the hardest part

How can I save the world if I can’t save myself
I guess my own two hands are the only thing I can count on now

Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light

And all this time I looked outside for all the things I had inside
And all my fears just disappeared I’m gonna keep on building

Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light
Out of the dark I find my way I’m gonna light the brightest light

________________________________________________

The song is one of my all-time favorite songs. It keeps me inspired and keeps me believing in my dreams.

 I can strongly relate myself to the lyrics. Sometimes you have to question why you have to chase your dreams. Kasabay kasi sa paghabol na yun ay marami kang maiiwang mahal sa buhay, kailangan mong maging selfish, nakakatakot kasi kailangan mong tanggapin lahat ng risks at ang pinakamahirap, mag-isa kang lang na haharap sa mga hamon na yon. Ika nga sa lyrics ng kanta, “…it’s easier to give up your dreams…the world is cruel to the dreamer’s heart”.

But during the time when you tend to doubt yourself and feel that hopelessness, it is also the time where you have to go back to the real purpose of pusuing your dreams. You’ll remember the things that really matters to you, your beliefs, your purpose, your existence, You’ll remember that actions has to be made and that you give a damn about something.

Nobody said its going to be an easy journey. There will be obstacles, risks and sacrifices. All you need have believe in yourself and stay true to your dreams.

In a world where people are fed wih instant gratification, this is not reckless idealism. It’s called FAITH. And what better source to look for the definition of faith than the scriptures itself:

MATTHEW 17:20
He told them, “Because of your lack of faith. I tell you with certainty, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”

The Manifesto

A more well thought version of the previous post

THE MANIFESTO
This is the life rules. Any action that will be made will be in accordance to this rules.

Rule no 1: Follow your bliss
Every person has a life purpose. All life’s purpose boils down to making this world a better place. And deep inside your heart you will find what truly makes you happy. Follow it and live a life leading to this path.

Rule no. 2: Live
Live a life that is free. Free from the shackles of society, for we can only live once, That life consists of approximately 25000 days. So make each day count and don’t just merely exist….live.

Rule no. 3: Get the Girl
Once you know deep inside your heart that she’s the one you’re heart yearns for - no games, no issues, no excuses - you go get her. For there’s nothing left to do but to win her heart.

The Philosophy

I like doodling. I usually write random things about life, philosophy and take note of interesting quotes. Here’s one of those doodles about living the life with a purpose.

Mindsets
When you are an infant, a child everybody loves you but as you grow old you learn to compare yourself to others, you hide the real you to protect yourself, your emotions.

You are at your core an interesting person.
You are at your core an attractive person.
You are at your core a passionate person.

Purpose
Every person has a purpose in llfe.
Everything you do should lead to this path.

Journey
You can traverse different paths toward your journey but whatever path you choose you already know your destination it is just made for you to understand why. 

Obstacles
It shows you that its okay to be imperfect.
They are the the challenges that will make your journey interesting and make you gain wisdom.
Hardships will test your faith and will make you value your journey.
It’s sole purpose is to make you quit.

Questions to ask to know if you are on track:
If I were to die tonight would I be happy if I go on with my plans today?
Am I doing what I truly want to be doing?
If you are on a streak of NO in a couple of days you are off track.

Questions to ask to know what are your passions:
If you have the chance to be anyone in the world without any chance of failure how do you see yourself?
What moves you, excites you, keeps you up at night and wakes you up in the morning?
What are some things you can’t stop thinking about, daydreaming about?
Deep down inside, what do you truly want for yourself?
If you had all the money, time, and resources you needed, how would you live your life?
What would you stand for?
Can you talk about it for hours?
Would you pursue it even if you didn’t get paid?
Does it challenge your comfort zone?
Are you willing to make big changes in your life to achieve it?  

Anti-social Blogger

I don’t really consider myself as a blogger although technically I am. It’s just that I am hassled by the complexities that defines a blogger, like creating network of blogger/friends, marketing, SEO, raising page views, talking about what you ate for breakfast, etc.

When in fact all I want is a stage. A stage where I can express my views (personal life not included) on topics I believe that matters to me most.

But since no man is an island I guess from now on I’ll open up myself a little bit and be more “social”.

I’ll start with approving comments…not all though.

Why RP polls suck

My ballot will have a lot of blanks this coming elections, there seems to be no other option for a competent official this coming elections. Here’s a good article from Washington Post that explains why:

“Politicians who win election in this former U.S. colony have one of the worst records in Southeast Asia for stiffing the poor, coddling the rich and indulging themselves, according to a mountain of data and a chorus of economists.”

I hope our PCOS machines would read my ballot even if can’t complete a 12 senatorial slate and blank paper for our local officials. 

The Arroyo In-Justice Secretaries

What the hell is wrong with our Justice Secretaries? Are they fucking out of their mind? Just recently Sec. Agra dropped two accused suspects in the Ampatuan Massacre:

“Justice Secretary Alberto Agra ordered the dropping of murder charges against Zaldy Ampatuan, the suspended governor of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, and his cousin Akmad Ampatuan, the former acting vice governor of Maguindanao. Agra said there was “no proof of conspiracy’’ and gave weight to Zaldy Ampatuan’s alibi that he was elsewhere at the time of the massacre. He also said Akmad Ampatuan was not included in the charge sheet of the NBI and the PNP and presented the alibi that he was with a medical mission elsewhere at the time of the massacre.” - Inquirer.net

The somewhere-else-during-that-time is most over-used alibi in high profile cases in the Philippines. Its the lamest, most  uncreative alibi ever made. And the fact that Sec. Agra bought it is downright idiotic.

Gonzales’ incompetence as In-Justice secretary is still fresh in my mind, does the name Daniel Smith and Nicole ring a bell? Then came Devadanera who was another Trapo that fucked-up the Juan “The Rapist” Larrañaga case. Now Agra is continuing the legacy of the Arroyo appointed secretaries who are blatantly messing up our justice system.

I Like, I Like

In the last few years a lot things have changed in my life. On some aspects I got better, on some worse than before. Good thing there are still some things that never change…

I like winning. Don’t get me wrong I like the competitive nature of it so I’m fine with losing but I still hate it so don’t expect me to play if I feel like I don’t have the chance to win the game.

I like chocolates. Or any chocolate flavored food for that matter.

I like learning new languages.

I like to travel. First, the whole Philippines. Then, the world. I want to see, feel and experience the world.

I love to learn. I have always been in pursuit of knowledge..and wisdom.

I like hearing women orgasm.

I like being in control. I’m open to suggestions but never ever take away the steering wheel from me.

I like seeing my dreams becoming real. I like following my bliss and be inspired by it.  

I like doodling. Notepad is the greatest software ever created.

I like girls who look good on sleeveless shirts.

I like teaching.

I like holding hands with someone you care about.

I like cats and dogs. I love being around them but I don’t want to have one right now, mainly because of the lifestyle I’m in. I’ll have one when I’m ready. I like to fully take care of them if I were to have one.

I like a special glance.

I like hugging the person you love.

I like laughing so hard you can’t stop, even the little things seem so funny.

I like having someone tell me that I’m fun to be with.

I like good conversations, I prefer one-on-one conversations. Groups are great, the more the merrier (for fun activities) but I prefer one-on-one for social interactions.

I like waking up and realising you still have a few hours left to sleep.

I like girls, I fall for women.

I like getting out of bed in the morning and giving thanks for another beautiful day.

I like watching sunrise.

I like hearing a good song, searching it in the internet, download it, memorize the lyrics, keep on playing it again and again and be LSS-ed by it.

I like lying in bed listening to the rain outside.

I like watching the expression on someone’s face as they open a much-desired present from me.

I like the fact that I can’t hide the smile in my face every time I see that one person.

I like remembering good memories while riding a jeep, waiting in line, standing in a crowded LRT.

I like watching a good movie cuddled up on a couch with someone you love.

I like making that one special person laugh.

I like good hair days.

I like accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you.

I like a conflict-free life. I’m notorious for letting go of anything, anyone or any feeling that give me the bad vibes.

I like living my life and continuing my journey and see how it all unravel.

The Blended O

This entry is a week late coz I had no time to write. What? I have a lot things going on with my life aside from sitting in the computer for hours and think of something to blog about.

Nwei, for the third installment of this month full of topics on love, sex, relationship, the whole nine yards, this time we will talk about sex. Specifically, giving female orgasms.

MINDSET
Before you read the technique, let’s touch first the most important key in giving pleasure to your partner…having a correct mindset.

So how do you approach your lover’s orgasms? You probably enter into sex with the mindset and goal of “giving an orgasm.” That would be wrong, instead of focusing on the goal of achieving an orgasm, start focusing your attention on the pleasure of the process.

The key is, focus on giving pleasure and making sure she’s feeling good that orgasm will come…no pun intended.

TECHNIQUE
Now that we’ve understand a correct mindset let’s go on with the technique. Hopefully you’ve already done your homework on some of the basics like:

1. Parts of a Female Genitalia and Erogenous Zones
2. Basic Massage Techniques

The technique your about to read is Blended Orgasm where it combines your tongue and your fingers to give her clitoral and G-spot orgasms.

If your forearms are tired, you can switch arms and insert the fingers in your opposite hand.

You’re going to start with oral and then add in G-spot stimulation.

POSITION
She’ll keep her legs up in the air with knees to her chest while your position is the same as oral sex postion you were in.

STEPS

Steps 1 - Start off with the Lick-Rest Cycle

Starting with your tongue on the base of her vaginal entrance slowly lick up until you’ve passed the clitoral head and are on top of the clitoral hood, then lick downwards to the starting position. It should take 5 seconds to complete.

With a flat still tongue, let it rest on her vagina for 5 secs.

Repeat 5-10 times.

Step 2 - Next, find the hot spot again using the Twitch Technique

Wet one or two of your fingers (index, or index and middle fingers) to lubricate them.

Slowly insert your finger/s into her vagina, about 2-3 inches in, with your palms facing up.

Find the G-spot. It will be the ceiling of her vagina, and it’ll have a bumpy texture to it. Once you find it, just leave the pad of your fingers “on the button”. Don’t stimulate this area…yet.

With your tongue, slowly lick around, on top, to the side of her clitoris. What you’re trying to do here is to find a “spot” that makes her vagina squeeze.

Once you found the spot, apply different pressures with your tongue. You want to find the best pressure that will cause her vagina to squeeze.

Lastly, apply different licking speeds on that spot, using the same pressure.

When you’ve found all of those, remember to maintain what you’re doing, no matter what.

Once you’ve found it, maintain the clitoral stimulation and start with the G-spot strokes.

Step 3 - G-spot stimulation

Because she’s already climaxed twice at this point, it really doesn’t take much to get her to orgasm again. She might even orgasm beofe you stimulate her G-spot!

Important: Just remember that while rubbing her G-spot, to maintain the same oral stimulation on her clitoris! It might be tough at first, because it does take some coordination.

If you’re having a hard time coordinating your tongue and your fingers together, just stick to the come hither stroke.

1. In-Out Stroke
Slowly rub the G-spot in a forward and backwards motion with the pad of your finger/s.

Aim for 100 slow/light strokes, 100 medium strokes, and 100 fast/hard strokes.

2. Circles
Now, begin to rub very lightly, tracing small, light circles.

Aim for 100 slow/light strokes, 100 medium strokes, and 100 fast/hard strokes.

3. Come Hither
You can do this using either one, two, or even three fingers (if she’s ready for it)

Start making the motion similar to telling someone to “come here”. The pads of your fingers should be run across her G-spot with each stroke. Be careful not to dig your nails into the ceiling of her vaginal walls, you want to “rub” not “scratch”.

4. Tapping
Finally, you’re going to add a quick “up-and-down” motion with your hands while performing the come hither stroke at the same time.

Aim for 100 slow/light strokes, 100 medium strokes, and 100 fast/hard strokes.

This time, if you need to, if she still hasn’t climaxed, go back to the slow strokes and build up the speed and pressure again.

****

That’s it, give yourself a tap in the back for reading this because that means you care for your partner and you want to become a better lover. Hopefully you can give your partner the most wonderful physical feeling she can ever experience. And at the same time provide you confidence that you can make that special person in your life very, very happy.

Crush’s TOP 10 Sexiest Women 2010 Edition

As promised a month of full of topics on love, sex, relationship, the whole nine yards. For this week’s special the updated Crush’s Top 10 Sexiest Women.

But before that if you’re still wondering for that perfect date this valentine check this out No More Bad Valentines. And make your dream valentine’s come true!

****

10. Giada De Laurentis - Italian. Actress.
The only reason why I watch cooking programs. Beauty aside, her recipes are good, so overall talent plus beauty not bad for a sexy chef.

9. Megan Fox - American. Actress.
I always wonder why Megan topped the previous world’s sexiest list. Uber hot yes, but the mythical number one? I’m not sure about that. You don’t become the world’s sexiest by the curves of your body alone.

Then came Transformers 2, I saw her differently (even though Razzies say otherwise). And that instant I realized why she was voted number 1.

8. Alodia Gosengfiao - Filipino. Cosplayer.
The geeks worship her, anime-freaks love her and cosplayers considers her an icon of Pinoy Cosplay.

She’s a household name in the field of Pinoy anime world. And if you saw her in one of those Komikons or Cosplay contests you’ll know why.

7. Jackie Rice - Filipino. Actress.
The only reason why I waste my time on reality shows like teen talent search is when this kind of beauty comes along. Although as of now, TV networks hasn’t fooled me by not spending a single cent in those voting crap.

And what about her posing for men’s magazines? That’s good for her career. Although showing some skin would not move her up on my rankings.

6. Jessica Alba - American. Actress.
One of the girls I’ve retained for this year’s version of the list. Why not? She’s sexy because of her on-screen characters. And off-cam, she’s a real person, now that’s sexy.

5. Natalie Portman - American. Actress.
In my book, she’s a consistent top pick in my Sexiest list. And as I was saying in last year’s list:

She’s smart, pretty and talented. A long-term relationship type of woman. She’d probably land no.1 on the list, if this was a Top 10 list of who’d you rather pop the “Will You Marry Me?” question.

4. Zooey Deschanel - American. Actress.
Last year’s no.10….now at no.4 and there is a new reason why.

She was awesome in 500 Days and she rocks at her She & Him album. But more importantly in real life she’s witty and a fun girl you love to hang out with.

3. Katy Perry - American. Pop singer.
Looks like Zooey, loads of fun like Zooey, the only plus is a fuller body than Zooey. I just can’t believe she’s going to marry Russell Brand, that lucky bloke. 

2. Rachel Anne Daquis - Filipino. Athlete.
She is the star of my phone, my PC, my mp3 player, she is the FACE of any gadget I have that is capable of applying wallpapers. I just fancy her and I don’t feel changing those wallpapers anytime soon.

1. Emmanuelle Chriqui - Canadian.  Actress.
Her Sloan character in the Entourage reminds of an ex-GF of mine. In the words of Askmen.com she, “…is the epitome of a dream girl: she’s a down-to-earth, funny and nag-free girlfriend who lacks the kind of shallowness that normally steers other gorgeous women away….”

Without character, looks can only go so far. Amen to that.

Women to Watch out

For this LOVE month, all of my posts will be about love. And anything that is related to it like sex, relationships, the whole nine yards. So for now, well start with the ugly side of Love. Hardeharhar. I give you the list women you have to avoid…

But before that if you’re still wondering for that perfect date this valentine check this out No More Bad Valentines. And make your dream valentine’s come true!

****

Now with the list…   

1. The Game-freak

Here’s a frustrating situation that usually happens:
You meet a woman. She got your attention. You want to get to know her. You interact with her, she seems interesting, and everything seems to go smoothly then BANG! She shifts gear and suddenly acts really weird. You’re surprised. You’re turned off. BIG TIME Attraction-Killer.

I understand why women have to play games; I explained it in my previous post. And even if we guys don’t want any part of it, we have to play it because that’s how it goes in this uber-complicated antiquated mating game. What’s really frustrating is some women would go overboard with this tests and tactics.

Take for example the movie House Bunny where Anna Faris, a former Playboy Bunny goes on a date with the other male lead and uses “inappropriate” tactics to attract him. Her tactics backfired and she looked like a complete freak show.

These women have absurd and destructive tactics. If you’re with a woman you love, you should feel happy, inspired, loved and a better person just by being with her. Not the complete opposite, which what actually happens when you apply those absurd tactics.

Why do women always have to play by the book? Damn woman, you’re reading too much Cosmo. You probably read the article - How to Lose a Guy in 10 seconds. (And off he goes.)

The only consolation is, instead of brushing you off or rejecting you brutally, women play games because they considered you a “prospect/contender” for a possible romance. Why would you think they go to that extent and act like that if they aren’t interested? But then, would you still want to go for her after being completely turned off by her actions?     
 
2. The Low Self Esteem Girl

When you tell a Low Self Esteem Girl (LSEG) a genuine compliment like “You are beautiful” and she’s REALLY BEAUTIFUL, she’ll brush you off, won’t believe in what you say and think - “Di naman ako maganda eh. Binobola lang ako nito. Bat kaya lumalapit itong lalaki sakin?”

This woman seems great at the start because she’s very nice, accommodating and treats men well. But her inner insecurities don’t take long to surface. These girls will always give you a hard time handling their deep rooted insecurities. And insecurities can breed jealousy, pain, doubt, fear and other negative emotions. And those negative emotions can really turn out messy and ugly.

Some may not want to avoid LSEG because they can tolerate her LSE traits and see other special things in her personality. If you’ll try to change her, remember that it is a two-way street, you can only lead the door and it is really in her hands if she really wants to be a better person.

3. The Drama Queen

Too much telenovelas + too much pocketbooks + too much twilight = Drama Queens

We all know drama adds spice into our life. But too much drama is a big no-no. In this situation, she will feed on your emotional stability and you’ll feed on the feel-good result of having someone needing you. Too much emotional roller coaster will sap all your positive energy. In the long run it’s going to shackle you in a unhealthy relationship and it will both drag you down.

Like LSEGs, you can only lead the door and it is really in her hands if she really wants to be a better person.      

4. The High Maintenance Chick

They are Gold Digger’s ugly cousin and Bitch’s distant relative. And it could only mean one thing: Trouble.

These are the women with high upkeep both emotionally and financially. They expect you to put her in a very high pedestal. If you’re not careful you may not realize she’s already walking over you. She expects a man to finance her entire life just because she is biologically female.

If you want to handle their brat-ish behavior you have to lay down the rules, yet understand where she’s coming from and why her actions are like that. Communicate.

I’m sure most men who love their woman so much would love to treat her as his queen. But not at the expense of letting her treat him like a doormat (coz if he does let her treat him like that just for the sake of keeping a GF, he must be total WUSS).

5. The Lifeless Soul  

All lot of people consider themselves living a boooring life. If you ask them when was the last time they acted wild and crazy they’ll probably say it was a long time ago.

This doesn’t mean this people are boring. They just don’t seem to want to act on it. Just try people-watching and see how interesting humans live their lives. All they need is someone to start the fire. So here’s where you come in. You’re goal is to bring sunshine to another person’s life. This is where you try to see if they really are a fun person or just lifeless individual. And most of the time you’ll realize most people are fun to hang out with.

I usually do crazy spontaneous things with a girl, like ask her that we sing and dance in the street, take a unplanned road trip to Baguio, ride PUVs and go to “destination:bahala na si batman”, role-playing ala IKEA-style in 500 days or just play thumb wrestling and other silly child games.

And boy, don’t you just love a woman who’s always game. Someone who is fun, adventurous and possesses child-like creativity.

So would you want a woman with zest for life? Or a lifeless soul.

6. The Wily Temptress

You can also call them the master fisherman. Their mode of seduction is simple: Bait-Hook-Reel-Release.

Bait - they usually make the first move (directly or indirectly) and flirt around with you
Hook - you flirt back
Reel - they flirt, you flirt back, the cycle just goes on and on, you think IT’S ON but what you didn’t know is you’re already reeled in. This time you’ll probably start to like her…as a person and in no time YOU FALL
Release - She realizes you become needy, you’re becoming a different man she knew. So she has no choice but to drop you.

These are the kind of women who are hard to resist because they know how to make you feel good about yourself. But they are the ones who’ll break your heart! They are like the female players.

You can’t actually blame them for breaking your heart. They just want a casual relationship. And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that you broke the no.1 rule of casual relationships: NEVER FALL IN LOVE

I already make this mistake once. To avoid this recognize the signs from the start and eject yourself from the relationship if you think you’ll falling for her. The more you emotionally invest in her, the harder to let go and more hurtful it will be.

If she just wants sex then just go for sex. I’m not saying you can’t go into a serious relationship with them, coz in fact a lot of relationships start passionately. What I’m saying is just DON’T FALL EASILY.    

7. The Gold Digger

She take my money, well I’m in need
Yeah she’s a triflin’ friend indeed
Oh she’s a gold digger way over time
That digs on me…

Many men would like to brag about their riches. NOT COOL. Women will sense your desperation and they will not respect you for believing you can buy their love with money.

Showing off your treasure chest would only attract the wrong women. And you don’t want to be with that kind of woman. To her, a man should pay for drinks, dinners, trips, flowers, and jewelry, while she feels absolutely no guilt or compulsion to reciprocate. Since she has no concept of someone else’s feelings, her only interest is in getting what she wants.

…Get down girl, go ‘head get down
Get down girl, go ‘head get down
Get down girl, go ‘head get down
Get down girl, go ‘head

8. The Man Hater

There’s a difference between feminists and man-haters. Feminist fights to uplift women’s plight and promote gender equality. They’re fun to be with because you’ll learn more about the many issues women have to deal with in this oh-so patriarchal society.

While man haters simply hate men. Period.

The good thing is for most man haters what they are going thru is just a phase. They may have been deeply hurt by jerks that they have to show that tough personality.

You just need to be patient with them. Let them go through this journey on their own and lick their own wounds. Have confidence that these women will bounce back and be a better person.

If they are the type of women whose genetically ingrained with a disease I-Hate-Men-ish Forever-ish then don’t push your luck. This woman postulates that all the ills of society are orchestrated by men. I like girls who like me and I bet you, too. So don’t push yourself to a person who doesn’t want you.

Or else you’ll be barking at a wrong tree.
 
9. The Stalker

These women will move heaven and earth just to be with you. That’s really sweet but once it goes too much you’ll wish the universe is wide enough for you to hide.

Their innermost desires are both their strengths and weaknesses. She’s clingy, needy and compulsively agonizes that you’re going to leave her at any moment for “someone better”. This kind of thing can get really creepy really fast.
Just be aware of the signs coz the end could be violent.

10. The Bitch

She’s good at manipulating people. Orbiters (men who revolve around women hoping that any good deed they do will be rewarded by sleeping with him) will be at her mercy. She’ll use people like pawns in order to achieve her evil plans. She maybe a good addition if she’s on your side but if these women are your opponent then she’s a huge pain in the ass. They are very unpleasant people who treat their fellow humans poorly, care only about themselves, and aren’t concerned at all if they hurt you or anybody else.

Beware, they can be the meanest person you’ll ever meet. These are the types of girls your mom warned you about when you were a kid.

We all have flaws and it is important to accept our loved ones for who they are. But it should also be important that we know what we want in our partner and go for it. We should not settle for someone and later whine why are we stuck in a bad relationship. 

Smart Gilas 3rd in Dubai Invitational

Congrats to the Smart Gilas Developmental Team for taking third place at the recently concluded Dubai Invitational Tournament. The tournament was composed of club teams in the Middle East, allowing maximum 3 imports. Riyadi of Lebanon placed second and Mahram of Iran won the tournament.

The nationals ended their stint with a 5-2 record. Losing to Al-Jalaa of Syria in the elims and against Riyadi in the semis. En route to its third place finish the RP5 avenge their elims loss to Al Jalaa.

Naturalization prospect Jamal Sampson played limited minutes throughout the tourney. In their last game the team went All-Filipino against Al-Jalaa but still managed to win.

The team is aiming for a slot in the 2012 Olympics. With more than a year before the Fiba-Asia in 2011 the team is going the right direction, it is noticeably clear how the team continues to improve under the tutelage of Serbian coach Rajko Toroman.  Important tournament for this year’s calender is the Fiba-Asia Champions Cup and the Asian Games.

JV Casio was picked as the best guard of the tourney. While special mention to Chris Tiu for his leadership, Barocca for his court generalship, Baracael for his offensive game and Jason Ballesteros for holding his ground against the taller and heftier players from the gulf. Overall props to all the players of Smart-Gilas in showing a big heart and guts for playing for our country. The team still has a lot to improve but the team looks very promising. And thanks to our OFWs who cheered for our national team.

Thank you for making us proud!
GO TEAM PILIPINAS! GO SMART-GILAS!

Crush Manifesto

Everyone of has has our very own rules. Rules that dictates our actions, our decisions, our life. Some of those rules we stand firm, while some we bend. But for whatever reasons, we made them to have a guide and simplify our life.

Now, I’ve been using some set of rules for quite sometime but for this year its going to be official. I’ll call it the “Crush Manifesto”. Naks. The rules cover the major area of a person’s life according to this post.

The Three Rules of the Crush Manifesto are:

Rule No. 1 - Go for your dreams.
All my life I’ve been pursuing a dream. Your dreams are your life’s purpose, everything you do should lead to this path. You may traverse different paths toward this journey, but whatever path you choose you should believe you’ll reach you’re destination, it is just made for you to understand why you took that path, learn the virtue of perseverance and value the journey.

Rule No. 2.  - Live your life to the fullest.
In your deathbed there should be no remorse for the days that you could have enjoyed your life and do what you really wanted. 

Rule No.3 - Get the woman you want.
Get the girl, never settle and don’t be sorry for your intentions. Sounds simple, now this is the tricky part. Attracting a woman isn’t really much of a concern, the problem here is when you all ready “got” the woman, do you really want her? As much as women whine why a good man is hard to find, I say a quality woman is also a rarity these days.

A girl once said to me - “Andami mong philosophical choo choo.” well, today these are my life rules. 

COP15

Starting a fresh year ahead, we are going to see a not so bright year for our planet, well at least for our envronment. 

The recently ended 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen Denmark was considered by many as failure. The conference ended without legally binding commitments agreed by countries all over the world. Without a concrete agreement the conference looked like a “talk shop” where politicians pledge an emissions cut in their respective countries but no assurance that those actions will be implemented. There were many disagreements that caused its failure. Some say developed countries are to blame or poorer countries had no voice in the conference or developing countries thwarted attempts for any agreements to protect their economic growth.

The thing is our planet is suffering…or should I say changing. Changing at a cost we can’t ignore. Something has to be done, being a talk shop is not enough.

In this case action speak louder than words.  

The Best Gift for Christmas

My fourth year in high school was one of the best years of my life. Each morning you get the excitement of going to school and when I get to school, while walking the hall way I exchange high five with the boys and mess around with the girls. That year was full of adventure, nice chats, teasing, joking and fun, fun, fun around written all over it. I was feeling good for making someone happy. 

Looking back, you’ll kinda miss the good ‘ol days. I figured out that “good feeling” was something in my control and what I did was duplicate the feeling that I miss. So I adopted the mantra: Leave them happier than you found them.

And that leaves me to the gift that I want to recieve this year, it is not material possession but a skill. The skill of communicating effectively. Communication skills in this day and age is essential, it is a good arsenal for your social skills, it couild lead to a greater relationship with your love ones, your job and your friends, you can use it in every aspect of your life. 

Unfortunately, this skill has to be earned, for some it could take months, for some years.  Damn, it would really be cool if you could only download a skill like what they do in the Matrix movie.

P.S.
World Peace still ranks first on my wishlist.

RP places fifth in 2009 SEA Games; Arnis now a National Sport

Philippines placed 5th with 38 golds in the recent SEA Games at Laos. Fourth placed Malaysia was just ahead by 2 golds. The 38-gold haul this year is fewer than the 41-gold harvest in the 2007 edition nonetheless this year’s output was enough to snare 5th place an improvement from 6th from the previous SEAG edition.

*****

As always the athletes has to deal with the politics in their own sports associations plus the squabble between POC and PSC. It could be really demoralizing for our athletes. The question is when will politicking in our sports ever end?

*****

We’ve always had enough talents to hone and become world class winners unfortunately the leaders at the helm is busy perpetuating themselves to power instead of developing our athletes.

So to the real heroes of our country, THE ATHLETES..props to all of you for your hardships and perseverance. Thank you for making our country proud once again.

*****

A new law is signed to make Arnis the National Sport of the Philippines. The new law mandates schools all over the country to propagate the sport.

This is good news for Arnis, finally one of our beloved cultural heritage was given due attention. Hopefully it will be the start of the true development of the sport.

And hopefully, no politics please. 

Super Inggo - The Start of the Surge in Developing Original Animation Content in Mainstream Media?

The first time I saw the Super Inggo - animated version I got really excited not that I was fan but FINALLY a media giant like ABS-CBN took the gamble in producing original animation content.

As we all know a lot of our animators are working at famous animation studios overseas while many animated shows in Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney and countless of anime are outsourced here. The main problem is even with a creative pool of artists we can’t produce our very own animated film. Mainly because animation studios here are outsourcing firms and wouldn’t care less in helping our country produce original content. Most of the capitalists of this industry are foreign-owned and would never gamble their money in producing a film by the Filipinos and for the Filipinos.

The good thing though, is slowly but surely more and more films are now produced by independent studios. Hats off to the indie studios out there that took the initiative in producing our very own animation content. Just last year we had our very first animated feature at the Metro Manila Filmfest, the film Dayo. And now ABS made its move, hopefully GMA will follow soon. Giant media companies and outsourcing firms with its huge financial resources should lead the way in developing our very own animation industry.

Finally, if we really want the animation industry to fly, the Animation Council of the Philippines Inc. (ACPI) and major schools offering animation here should foster a mentality to students to create original content and not just be slaves of the outsourcing capitalists. Only with institutions like the academe and private sector working together, will give our “own” animation industry a much needed boost.
