Happy Father's Day

Fathers are very very different to Mothers.  The spelling for one... :D

While I can easily put myself into mom's shoes even if I do mothering from afar, I somehow cannot imagine how it is being a dad.  Well, for starters, I would like to imagine what the men are thinking when given the news that they will be a dad soon.  

Is it the same feeling as mine when I discovered the pregnancy?  Are they nervous, ecstatic, afraid or excited? When the child comes, what's their reaction?  While moms have special connection to their children the moment they are born, is it the same with fathers?

And when the children grow older, fathers poses to be the tough persona in the family.  I've had a not so good relation with my father, probably because we were so much alike that our personalities clashed.  Only later did I realize that.  I am sure that in time I will make peace with it.  I had already made peace with him.  It's just a bit more time to accept that I am truly his daughter and whether I like it or not I am more like him than not.

Just last week I read someone twit a message saying:  
Anyone can be a father but only special ones can be dad.
 It makes sense. Truly anyone any person can be a father in the biological sense but very few really truly become Dads.  

There may be a very very different world between fathers and mothers but whatever they are going through as a father or as a dad to their kids I wish you the best.  I hope your children will look at you with all the respect and love that you deserve.  That includes Andy's father too.

Gay French McDonald's Commercial

When I saw this commercial in youtube last week I don't know if I would smile or get angry.  Being out in the open as gay is something.  But having to confront your father who doesn't know anything is something else.

Well, I think let's just being open minded about things.

Enjoy.

Two Hundred-- Crossroad again?!

When I started this blog I knew it would be something about me and my former boyfriend.  I was then expecting, about 12 or 13 weeks on the way, I was hopeful of so many things.  I tried to be positive inspite of the odds that I knew were against me and our history.  I hoped.

I was excited.  I blogged about the travels I did that year, the anticipation of waiting for him to come back, and of course, the excitement of the coming baby.  It was a fun year, the first.  

But in 2008, the dreaded news came.  I was surprised, or was I? Or was I just waiting for it to happen? Well, it did.  And in a way it was a closure that I was waiting for.  Of course, it would not really close, there is my little girl caught in between. 

In 2008 it was different.  I was in a new challenge.  I would be a single parent, not that I wasn't when I got Andy but truly.  There was no dream and hope of getting back together. Or the wish of a happy ever after for us.  I was alone.  I'd have to raise Andy by myself.  

And then it turned on a different avenue altogether.  I got accepted to a job abroad.  Never did I imagine I'd be working outside the country.  I was quite happy where I was at and there was the baby.  The challenge that the opportunity opened to me made me think, what would happen if I go out there and try?  I am not gonna lose anything.  Well, save for the next 3 years in Andy's life, which by the way is really important.  But I thought this is something that will be for Andy anyway. 

The stay here, more than one and a half year already has been an eye opener.  It made me appreciate what I have and what I don't.  It made me realize that not everything can be bought by money.  Oh, that was said before, right?  But you just had to experience it to learn it.

It made me stronger.  It made me realize how much I want to come back home. Yes, you read it right.  I am still in a crossroad now.  Should I stay for the whole duration of the contract, or should I ask to be sent home?  Surely I would not want to resign from this company to get another job in this country. Seriously. 
The contemplation now is when.

This is my 200th post.  I was thinking of what ti write at the beginning of the day.  Now, I am back at thinking of what I should do.

Rainbow


I wish that one day I will be able to let you see a rainbow on the horizon and tell you not to point at it because it'll cut your finger. That was what all of them told me. Or if you have accidentally pointed at one, you should bite your finger.

Funny huh?

Or maybe the two of us would walk towards the rainbow and see if the pot of gold which everyone is talking about is real.

But the pot of gold maybe tough to find. My pot of gold is already with me. The chance to spend my day and discover things with you will be more than that pot of gold.

How to get rid of an ex. [one of the best articles I read on this matter!]

MAU-RK! Mabuhay kayo.

how to get rid of an ex

i should not be writing this but i must. i am not a mobile person, and I keep on forgetting my mobile phone, and when I got home I saw a message asking this question. HOW TO GET RID OF AN EX?

Well first and first foremost, let us go back to the basics. Let us draw the principles of an EX(may it be lover or something else). The basic definition of an ex is:

The prefix ex- first appeared in English words in the Middle English in words borrowed from French. It comes from the Latin where it was both a prefix and a preposition. Later in the Middle English period it became a productive prefix. It is akin to Ancient Greek (εκ-, εχ-, εχω-). Its meaning ranges from

  • 1. "out, away" (example (exit)
  • 2. "up" (abstract meaning indicating increase or strengthening of a particular quality, often negative - sometimes called intensive) (example (exaggeration, exacerbate)
  • 3. "former, prior" (examples (ex-boyfriend, ex-president) This is a much later development and did not exist in Latin.

-wikipedia.org-

So for the basic sense of the word it is a former. So how would you get rid of the former MAU? Hmmm, hold your horses guys and gals... hooo. The simple answer is WE CAN NOT! And please dont laugh... tell me how can you get rid of something you can not see? But please be reminded that this is only applicable to those normal cases... it is a case to case basis. and if you have a different scenario, please contact Joe D' Mango or Dr. Love, I could not help you. Or maybe I could but it might take ages before I could brew a perfect formula.

But if you're question is how to forget an ex, or maybe how to eradicate her/him out of your routinary semi Pentium 1 system. Here are some things you could do.

keep your thoughts sane, rearrange your room(if you have one), by doing this you could see a different point of view. Its like reformatting your Operating System in your brain, by rearranging your room please dont forget to take things that would remind you of your ex. Please be reminded you are taking things that reminds you of your ex not because you antagonizing or your angry. ANGER is the last thing you want to feel while your doing this.

If you dont want to that, here's another tip, pick up a new hobby, change your lifestyle , do something that you have never done before. Collecting Garbage and recycling is a healthy habit, its something I am certain we dont normally do, by doing this we change not only our life but the mother earth's life span. Okay, if your thinking I am being silly then take something that you have never done before. BUT REMEMBER DO SOMETHING FOR THE BETTER. IF it will end you up in a MENTAL ASYLUM or JAIL then please don't do it. A diversion of attention can make a great difference

Fine you still feel lonely and helpless, then here's another option. Go make friends, or get reunited with past friendships, or relive your Former childhood "BARKADA" bonding moments. Just be certain of something, that your not placing your ex as an excuse to use the time of these people. Because if you do your only placing yourself in a circumstance where you are living life for a shadow of a non existent FORMER. and if you are on your low moments you are vulnerable to unnecessary temptations. AND I KNOW YOU DINT WANT TO DO THAT. Well if you want... then ITS UP TO YOU... JUST DONT COME BACK TO ME OR TO YOUR FRIENDS IF YOUR IN ANOTHER SH*T. Remember your ex is not your oxygen, you can live without him/her by your side. Its a habit of seeing or being with her/him, and all habits can be break. Hard...but it is possible.

And if everything doesn't seem to work, and you still feel that you love/ need that person. Then Gamble a little more. Push Your limits until you could give no more. Its like a diarrhea, when you dont have anything more to give then that's it.. no matter how you try, thats it. No more. Its like trying hard to puff a smoke from a cigarette left only with its filter, and that's it. But there is no harm in trying though. But dont push hard when it says pull. Learn to stop when you see RED. it means your bleeding .

okay, I will not include the thing about looking for a new relationship. change is a constant thing. Its part of the cycle. it could and might happen. one way or the other. DONT FORCE TO UPLOAD A NEW PROGRAM TO A system that is incompatible. it will never run..

the bottom line is this... no matter what we do the only time can tell. we can never forget someone who was part of our life, no matter what, they exist in the past. no matter how good or bad the relationship is, you would remember them one way or the other.

lesson number one, we can not get rid of an ex... they are already gone. lesson number two, to move on out of a relationship is create change. lesson number three, do some diversion. lesson number four reunite within people. lesson number five dont push when it says pull.

and for the major rules...the only way to move on is watch the clock/calendar... only time heals all kinds of wound. there is no best remedy for longing but wanting... but wanting is superficial feeling. we just created this force because we got used to this feeling that we are being needed.. and we needed that other person. but after the break up its all wanting...

not love itself but the habit of being there.

oh well i guess i made a lot of circles, and i made my point clear. just imagine... if i replied through text message it might have cost me so much.

loving and losing is part of the deal.. nobody said its easy.

All you need is Faith

Last year was a test. I took it poorly.

Talked to my hon a few minutes ago. I admit, it was fun to be talking to him even for a few minutes... (men, i spent all my prepaid credits!)

Then I called him using my budget card. Thank God for this invention. I can speak to him for a mere 3/minute. Calling other cellular phones within the country is more expensive.

Anyway, back to my topic. I really have to keep the faith on him. on us. ;)

woohoo! masayang bagong taon!

btw, did i tell you that my andie is about to have her 1st tooth? cool new year eh?
Have a blessed and faith-full 2008 everyone!
