Somebody’s gonna regret what she has told me on the text; for sure, she will receive my delayed messages. Lol! Sometimes, the text is not a good medium for a string of conversations. Better yet, use the phone to confirm decisions and to validate assumptions.

Texting aint good when:
1. You have a quarel with your husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend. Believe me, you will read the message according to how you feel about the situation. If you’re angry, you will feel that his/her every text message is an insult.
2. When giving instructions- Not every person will understand what you’re talking about if you won’t elaborate it.
3. When you need an urgent reply- Call the person, he might be out of load.
4. When you are already irritated on the person- Just like item number 1, if you feel you are already annoyed, talk with the person through phone or in person.

I am not a follower of Harold Camping but I commend this guy for his guts to tell the world that May 21, 2011 is gonna be the END of the world. He previously predicted that doomsday would happen in September 1994. Hey, we’re still here, alive and kicking!

Truth is, nobody knows when our time would come. We never know when the end of the world will happen. So better be prepared.

Physically, are you going to prepare by digging holes under the ground in case the end of the world comes? Are you going to build a large ship just like what Noah did to prepare himself and his family for the great flood? Are you going to stock water, food and other supplies in case a nuclear war erupts?

Emotionally, are you going to make peace with the people who offended you? Are you going to enjoy the remaining times that you have with your family? Are you going to say “I love you” to your partner?

Spiritually, are you going to devote your last 24 hours to God? Are you going to ask for forgiveness from God? Will you ever believe that you will be saved according to your religion’s teachings?

I wonder how the atheists are taking this news. If the end of the world is a religious concept, then from someone who does not believe in the existence of God, the end of the world is nothing but an urban legend.

Stumbled upon this post about keeping up with the Joneses, flaunting on Facebook every material things that you have just bought and being too materialistic.

One thing that I find superficial on any networking sites is people trying to be somebody that they are not in real life. Okay, it’s fine to tell your friends that you’ve been to these places but please, it’s annoying to see you posing in every corner of the place where you have just been. It is like, “Duh, as if we care if you’ve tasted this and that, tried this and that!”

I know of someone who has a huge credit card bill because she just can’t accept that her friend has this and that while she is stuck in the same old furniture, electronic appliances and wardrobe. Heck, her friend is earning twice or even thrice as much as she earns! Why bother to compete with someone if you can’t even pay your utilities on time?

Jealousy is bad for your pocket. It brings out the insecurities in you. The more you compete with someone, the more money is spent on unnecessary things…and it leaves you wanting more to spend more to cover your insecurities.

“If you get tired of someone, then you are never really in love with her.”

I disagree. You can get tired of someone but you can still be very much in love with her. You can leave someone but it doesn’t mean that you are no longer attracted to her. It’s all about compatibility and benefits. You don’t stay with someone who wears a strong cologne even if she knows it could make you sick. You don’t stay with someone that you think will be a liability rather than an asset. Love is very romanticized; thus it becomes unrealistic.

I fell in love once with someone but that someone was easy-go-lucky and had a different culture than me. I cut the budding romance because I don’t think either of us would give in to each other’s MUSTS.

I stayed with someone for a long time. I was sick and tired with what’s happening to our relationship but I stayed, knowing that he could be a good provider for me and our future family. He cut the relationship and found someone better than me. I was sick and tired of the relationship, sticked with him through the years, loved him and yet he chose to leave me. He was content in me, even telling me that I was the perfect wife material, realized that he could not live with someone with a past, found a better partner and then left me. We both LOVED. But we never stayed forever in the name of love.

Love is a complicated thing…. once, I fell in love with someone. But that someone had someone in his life. But that’s another story!
