i know i'm in the mood to write

So it's no surprise that I moonlight as a shrink to my friends, right. They consider me as a 24-hour listener and advisor with a million ears to lend.

Which is fine by me; I enjoy that.

I suddenly remember a certain case where one of my close friends sat me down to talk about a particular topic. She has this...I don't know what you call it; an endless fling? They went out once but broke up but still maintain good friends now. Like, really good friends. I know them both well since we all hang out together but the guy's older than us.


My friend told me how she recently had a serious talk with the guy about the future and they ended up making a promise: if by the time she turns 30 they aren't seeing anyone, they'll get married. Kinda like Chandler and Monica in an old episode Friends, where he said "If you won't be married by 30, what do you say we live together?" and she responded, "Why wouldn't I be married by the time I'm 30?"
And Chandler replied "No...I meant hypothetically...", to which she said, "Okay, well, hypothetically, why wouldn't I be married by the time I'm 30?"

Or something like that. It always made me laugh.

Well anyways.

This friend of mine was kind of ecstatic about her and her guy's decision--because I could tell they still feel something so strongly about each other. But I did not fully share her excitement.

What do you think?

When a guy proposes that to you, should you feel flattered or offended? In a way, yes,you feel relieved. The guy you really care about has no plan to abandon you, not even in the future. No matter what happens, you will never be living a lonely life surrounded by forty cats. No mattr how hard you screw up,someone's gonna be there to take care of you. That must be a very nice feeling indeed.

But in a way, Monica was right. Why wouldn't you be married by the time you're 30? Are you so undesirable that you repel man from marrying you?

And more importantly, there's another factor to consider: what if you found someone better than that guy and you end up marrying him? Even worse, what if HE found someone and break that promise to you?

In that case, start visiting the pet stores to look for cats.

I think this is an interesting matter, no? You, who are reading this, whoever you are, have you ever been in this situation?

You don't have to post a comment- I probably don't even know you. Maybe you're just stumbling into this blog by accident.

But I really wanna know. I ended up not giving advises to that friend of mine; thankfully, she wasn't expecting any. She just needed to unload.

It's funny how much we expect from the opposite sex but at the same time we don't expect anything from them either, huh?

Looking to be lost?

This life is a freakin chain. Its all about the six degrees of sombody
or other. Don't believe me? Well here goes.
A is completely happy with B, who sometimes still thinks of C, who's
currently in a blissful state with D, who still wishes to taste what's
its like to be in relationship with E,who still thinks about his ex F,
who still dreams about HER ex G, who's married to H and still sneaking
lunches with I.

Seriously, from A to G, it really is a true story; kind of.
I've been everyones ears long enough to detect a major soap opera
going on in their life. But it is. Its a chain.

And the worst thing is, we don't know when or where its gonna stop. I
just hope it won't reach Z.

So I want you to remember this: everytime you fall flat on your face
with no hope and passion whatsoever,remember that there's always
someone who will rush to your side to soothe you, to stroke your back,
to calm you down, to tell you its okay and that you'll get the love of
your life but inside screaming hey I WANT to be that person, to smile
and nod and wipe your tears while gritting their teeth- whether you
realize it or not.

Which,most of the times, you don't.

But the lowest kind of the low is if you try to take advantage to that
person. It actually hurts B everytime C declares her love for D. And
it goes on and on and on.

Life's a freaking mess of chain.

Let's try this

Let's see what happens when I blog from my phone.
I hope I'll be able to see this :s

So. Not that anyone still reads this blog, but how's everyone doing?
I'm curled under the blanket in my cold room alone, enjoying the
perfection of it all.

I miss my own boyfriend. I don't know why I never wrote much about
him, btw. I doubt he'll read this,but still.

You know what happens when you try to blog sleepily from your phone
and just feel like letting it out? Random stuff happens. Random
thoughts flow as my fingers typed freely on the keypads.

I hate changes. In a way, I do.

Hey before I ramble on and on and will kick my self due to failed
mobile blogging attempt, let me check if this appears in the blog for
real. See you in a teeny bit.

a smile and a wave

I'm back!

I'm sorry i've been so ignorant to you, blog. I just got accepted back at B-M last week so things have just kinda flown in a flurry.

I hope everyone's doing fine.

Anyways. Quick recap; nothing much has changed. I still want a ticket out of here. I still want my NY and SF. I wanna turn 25 and be able to say "I've done it all", you know? I wanna tell my kids one day how their mom just conquered all her fears and pakced up to see what the world had to offer. [cue music: Celine Dion.]

I gotta go eat in a minute, but please bear in mind that I've made my comeback and therefore you should not forget to visit this owl-y blog. The weather's been kinda crazy, by the way. And my dog looks so clean.

Enough random thoughts.

See ya! Promise I'll be back so o o o n.

your own definition of perfection

Everyone has their dream man/woman. The capabilities, physical attributes, and so forth.
Well, it's almost midnight and I'm completely awake with nothing to do, so here's mine.

I like tall guys. Not lanky, and not exactly Homer's twin either. Which leads me to another category-I like guys who are good at sports. Doesn't matter what, but soccer is preferred. I like guys who know how to dress appropriately and can match themselves to what I'm wearing ( no, not color-wise, don't worry. What I mean is, if I wear my best skirt or something I wouldn't want him to appear on my doorstep in cargo shorts.)

I like it if he wears checkered flannel shirts. And a T-shirt underneath. Dunno why :) And battered jeans with sneakers. I hate baggy clothing on him. He has to smell good, but no tacky cologne. He has to smell like he's just taken a shower. And he has to be clean. If he doesn't smoke, good. If he does, great. If he prays 5 times a day, I'm the luckiest girl on earth.

He has to make me laugh all the time; he has to be intelligent. Guys with little knowledge turn me off, no matter how goodlooking. He has to have good taste in music and movies. He has to get along with my family and friends, seriously. He has to know where Honduras is in the map and who Jack Kerouac is. He has to accept, and support, my reading and cooking hobbies and my dream to study abroad. Better yet, he has to share my reading hobbies, too. He has to like going out, too; even if it's only for movies or ice-cream treats.

He has to be able to calm me down since I tend to explode. And, this being the most important aspect, he has to learn the difference of when I just want to let out my sob story and when I want advises from him. He has to know when to open and close his mouth. When to listen and when to speak. He has to be polite but also crazy at other times. He has to be decisive.

On Saturday nights, if I ask him where we should go, him saying "Up to you" or "No idea" will be a big minus point for me. If he opens the door for me, I will not be impressed. If he tries to order for me at a restaurant or always pays the bill, I'll roll my eyes .I want to be able to laugh and talk seriously with him at the same time.

He has to know how to calm me down. He has to know what to do if my car broke down in the middle of the road on a hot day with nobody around. He has to accept my dramatic flair in life. He has to master at least 1 foreign language-that's attractive. He has to know about my moods; when and how to approach if I give him a silent treatment. He has to be my bestfriend too at the same time.

I guess that's it.
That's pretty easy, right?







Oh, one small problem? I don't think this type of guy exists. Not in my world anyway. If he is somewhere out there, I'd very much like to shake his hand.

Why oh why, the sims 3 ??

Seriously. Ever since The Sims (1) came out, I always, ALWAYS had trouble installing it. It's either the CD, or the crack, something just HAD to be wrong. Same goes with The Sims 2. I literally have like three different Sims 2 CDs lying around from different stores because I just couldn't get them to work.

And then, ladies and gents, today I installed The Sims 3.

I had to exchange the CDs TWICE because it said failure/error dics and when I finally, finally succeeded installing them (I even yelled with glee so loud that my mom jumped) it said....

"Unable to start game .Device 0 cannot run this title. Your video card does not appear to support at least Shader Model 2.Please upgrade your card."

I am on the verge of a pre-midlife crisis breakdown just because of this game, seriously. If EA had to pay me a penny everytime The Sims disappoints me, I'd be a friggin' millionaire by now. I googled it to find out what the heck Shader Model 2 was and was surprised to find that almost everyone on other side of the world also had the same problems. It's all over Yahoo! Answers, WikiAnswers, and forums. The solution is basically the same; buy a new VGA card.

New VGA my butt.

I must be the most pissed-off Simmer in the world right now. I only got til the end of September to lounge around, you know! I wanna spend my holiday Simming and DVD-ing and going out and reading books. From what I read, everyone's pretty pissed off as well because it said nothing about minimum requirements for VGA in the back of the CD package.

Huh.

I know this is my fault too for trusting the pirated CD games so much but come on; you'd do the same if you were me. Worse yet, I don't understand this whole IT/computer psychobabble so I don't freakin' know what to do. I hate not knowing what to do.

So I guess I'll have to break the piggy bank and spend about 5oo,000 on a new VGA card. :'(

My mood has officially gone down the drain.

aand another one

Here is the analysis:

You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bright and Cheerful

You are always cheerful and charming. You never get too serious with people when they're around, but when you are alone, you think carefully about what they have said. That's because you don't want anyone to see you being too somber. Your personality means you have a lot of friends and you are often the center of attention. Many people who fall into this category become artists and movie stars, perhaps fame could be yours in the future as well.


(artists and movie stars?! *gasp*) haha this is very fun.
