Think Out Loud

Same as the old saying goes: men doesn't like women who are easy to get. So true. I'm more certain now that it isn't really a good thing for women to have dozens of boyfriends in their young life. It gives the notion that she is easy to get, and an easy one to throw away. With all her relationships that have gone nowhere, it shows irresponsibility in handling (supposed-to-be) serious matters such as that.

But men, you're not off the hook yet. Even women doesn't like the "easy" breed of men. Those kind who easily falls in love, easily falls out of love, easy flirts, and are easily manipulated. Such men has a brain the size of a coconut shell (in my opinion) because they only think about themselves, and what satisfies them. They are the ones who are emotionally-driven and usually lack focus. One gets lost with what they really want because they are not even sure of what they want themselves. They only live in the present and doesn't consider the graveness of the future. They let their feelings guide their decisions, that's why in the end, they blow up one relationship after another.

So it isn't true what a college professor once said that women who never had a boyfriend are pathetic because they have no idea what they want. In fact, I believe they know exactly what they want that's why they don't just jump into any potential relationship that comes their way. They don't ride with the wind, unsure of where it would take them. They don't saddle with the bandwagon, just so they could count themselves "in" to the growing numbers of couples. Instead, they use their brains and make sure that this relationship is something worth keeping for. They may appear very picky but they are surprisingly the ones who grow and become the best wives in the future: families intact and homes flooded with love.

But more than just using their rational and logical reasoning, they also use their ears. They know whom to listen to for sound advice and they know how to obey. What good is sound advice if there would be no application, right? And always, the best source of great advice is the Bible. It is God's voice written out for you to keep and look back to. Just a few weeks ago, I just finished the reading the book of Proverbs and it speaks so much about a wife of noble character; she is the pride of her husband and her value is far more precious than rubies.

People will always have different opinions on this widely argumentative theme of relationships. But my point is this (and i'm sure many agrees): Don't be too easy.

This song came out in 1997 and only found out this afternoon that this song was sung by a Kiwi Singer (from New Zealand).

Just this week, my workstation was moved from a slightly hidden, cramped area to a more spacious, well-ventilated one. But unfortunately for me, it is located right in front of the entrance (now I know what it feels like to be a security guard). So now I know who goes in and out - and everyone who passes by knows who I am (at least they know that someone with this description exists in this office).

To make things even better, the round table and the receiving area, which are used to entertain guests, are located in front of my table. And lately, this multi-purpose table is also being used for department meetings, guest meetings, and such while the usual conference room remains unavailable. Anyway, the whole point of this entry is that I can't concentrate and i have tons of pending jobs to accomplish this week!

Ugh.

And it's 3 o' clock PM already. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything yet and I'm slacking off big time even if I don't really mean to. I'm doing some writing today but I can't seem to put my mind into it. I need some peace and quietness but in this current area where I am, it's hopeless. I already moved to a different table but it's no better.

But there's still the best part. The best part of this (I'm being sarcastic) is that I hear everything. I hear what's being talked about in meetings, I hear phones ringing like crazy, I hear what people talking on the phone says, and I hear what the people on the other end of the phone says. And sometimes I just want to go Graahhh! I don't want to hear anything! I don't want to think! Get out of my head!!!

I guess a mind-reading super power would be an extremely annoying thing to have. It would be too noisy and you wouldn't have any relaxing silence time.

Sigh. Right now, I just want to hide under a shell like a turtle or hide inside a cocoon until my concentration's back.

Again, I'm sorry that I'm writing this entry during office hours but if I don't, I might lose my mind!!!

In the middle of the night I was laughing so hard while reading my entries (good thing my mom was tired so she wasn't awakened by my burst of giggles and uncontrollable belly laughs). I can't believe I was that frank and sarcastic before. There was so too much honesty in my entries that now, I can't believe it's gone! Hahaha. Come back!

I want to be that frank and honest again with my entries. When I started working, I became cautious with my choice of words to avoid misunderstandings (even though nobody really reads this blog but myself). But last night, I saw the wonders of recording true feelings. It's been 2 years since my last entry there, but I realized that it is true. Frustrating things that happened today will be something you will laugh about in the future.

I hope this blog would be more honest and frank from now on.

Let's kick off with my top 5 Christmas "needs" list:

1. Samsung Corby TXT and Samsung Corby 3G

I've been thinking of buying two phones for my Globe and Smart numbers for three things. One, my Globe number has been with me for the last 7 years and I have no intention of throwing it out unless i can afford to pay postpaid. Two, everyone at work is using Smart. Three, I don't trust dual-sim China phones. It's a waste of hard-earned cash.

Why Samsung? Because these two phones are hip and chic, but at the same time affordable. I'm just waiting for the year to end so that the prices will be cheaper. These are all old Samsung models. New models will be out in the market next year, making the prices of old Samsung phones to go down.

Since my mom's phone got busted late this year, I plan on giving her the Nokia Supernova phone I'm using right now. She keeps telling me that she wants a phone with a music player so I think the Supernova phone would fit her wants, while the Samsung phones would fit my budget.

2. Nikon D5000

Photography is one of the things I want to do and improve on. As of now, I'm using a point and shoot Canon Powershot digital camera. While it's good and has always served its purpose whenever I use it, I feel it's time to level up and be more adventurous with photography. And in my line of work, getting good shots are always important.

DSLR cameras always fascinate me. The effects they do to a photograph is just incredible. Since I'm more into spontaneous shots rather than glamorous studio shots, I'm really dreaming of having a DSLR camera that I could take with me every time I go on outdoor activities. It's powerful enough to capture shots of people's [raw] expressions and document movements without producing too much blur.

I think Nikon D5000 would be the perfect tool for that.

3. Ipod Touch

This Ipod is a perfect match of need and want.

Need: It has softwares that could help organize my scattered-brain life, like calendar (to block out schedules), notepad, and time.

Want: What else? Music playlist! It's practically my life.

4. WD Passport

My files accumulated through the years (college, work and personal files) have piled up, and I have no trust in DVDs. It has failed me dozens of times so I need an extra powerful tool to save all my life's works. And the best gadget for that is the WD Passport.

5. RAM (Random Access Memory)

My laptop has been with me through thick and thin. It's already 4 years old. But lately, it's blacking out and doing weird stuff. The guy at the computer repair shop told me that the RAM needs to be replaced.

But it's expensive.

Why not just buy a new laptop? Well, because I love my Packard Bell so much I don't want to replace it with a Mac or an HP.

Ah, Christmas is here. I discovered this song 4 years ago. Brings back Christmas college memories.
