Forever Dawn to New Moon…

For Bella Swan, there is one thing more important than life itself: Edward Cullen. But being in love with a vampire is even more dangerous than Bella could ever have imagined. Edward has already rescued Bella from the clutches of one evil vampire, but now, as their daring relationship threatens all that is near and dear to them, they realize their troubles may be just beginning…

WHAT IF… What if true love left you? Not some ordinary high school romance, not some random jock boyfriend, not anyone at all replaceable. True love. The real deal. Your other half, your true soul’s match. What happens if he leaves?

The excitement to read and the world of vampires… blood rush…

Utang na loob…

The last time that I have used my credit card was 6 months ago. I must say, I’ve been a compulsive spender/buyer and it has been too much… The last 6 months for me has been tough and believe me, you’ll never want it. I use my card most often for shopping and dining. I will buy what I want, especially when it comes to shoes and shirts. I am not maporma but when I see a shoes or a shirt that I like, I will definitely buy it. I never thought that the consequences and the terms of that action will take effect in no due time.

At that time, my bill went up as much as 59K. I’ve been stupid not to pay the right amount and at the right time. I have this habit of taking things at ease and with less priority but it ends up on a consequence that should have not happen… Bad debt…

I really don’t know how to solve this financial problem that I have until I kept my card. Yes, I just keep it. I just keep it at home. Another thing that I did was to check my balance every pay out online. I am fortunate to be with a company that pays its employees every two weeks and just after I get my salary, I definitely go to my bank and pay. I pay twice a month with higher amount than the initial balance that I need to pay. I know that it is not enough and the interest will catch up. It will take some time for me befor I can pay the whole balance but that is all I got and I have…

Got this article from Citi and I’ve been reading their advices for some time now… Sigh…

Use Credit Wisely

Credit is a powerful tool.

Konstantine

I don’t have a vodpod to use or too bad it doesn’t work here in the office… It’s a 9:35 song that is so amazing, sic… You’ll never get tired of playing it over and over. The piano will hunt you and the bass on the middle will keep you in that phase of emotion that has been kept all years. Andrew McMahon writes it with I guess out of what he remembers back then with “Konstantine”…

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all the pretty things she did…

Well, I don’t think I care
And if I hurt you
Then I’m sorry
Please don’t think that this was easy…

Bob Ong’s Philosophy on Love

 

I just got my first Bob Ong copy 3 months ago and it is “ABNKKBSNPLAko?!”. Call it late now to buy his first book but I’ve been reading his stories online before. You know my impression? Bwahahahaha! Whoever the writer is, he got his own style, Pinoy na Pinoy ang tema at ideya, salamin ng lipunan at kabuhayan… I just thought that until now, his pseudonym is a charm to everyone. It must be, the real identity is not important, it is his writings that matters… I don’t know on what site to link his name but this article is good, check: Bob Ong

 

Got this list from an email that I thought must have been circulating in different offices here in Pinas or wherever a Pinoy is. It is Bob Ong’s Philosophy in Love… Yeba!

Bob Ong’s Philosophy on Love

1.”Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka nya..”
2. “Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.”
3. “Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.”
4. “Huwag na huwag ka hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.”
5. “Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”
6. “Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.”
7. “Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo.
Malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.”
8. “Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.”
9. “Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na di mo mahal pero mahal ka..
Kaya quits lang.”
10. “Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo yung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga yung una.”
11. “Hindi porke’t madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.”
12. “Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.”
13. “Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.”
14. “Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw yung bida sa script na pinili nya.”
15. “Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.”
16. “Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala”
17. “Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan”
18. “Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lng yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”
19. “Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal…nakakatakot mahulog…at kapag nahulog ka, it’s either by accident or talagang tanga ka…”
