Sometimes we're up and sometimes we find ourselves going down... other times, we feel like our world has gone topsy-turvy.
Well, i think i'm in a loop now. I've been sooo down these days, but today, after meeting my friends and taking a trip down memory lane... i feel like i'm going up to a loop now cos i know that the days that follow, i would feel miserable again.
Call this a cry for help or a cry for advice... but.... any tips on how to stay focused and keep thinking positively?
MUCH LOVE to all my bloggy friends who are always there to support me when i need it. ^_^

When You Can't Accept that "He's Just NOT That Into You"
Yes, I recently read that book because it was recommended to me by one of my friends. I can say that I learned a lot from it. It's a real eye-opening book, believe it or not. BUT! It's so much easier to understand what you're reading that actually applying it in real life. These are just some of what I remember and what I can relate to:
"He's just not that into you if he disappears on you"
- yes, i've had this experience and believe me.. it wasn't peachy, especially since it was one of my guy friends since we were in grade school. We dated in high school, and we dated as adults again (hoping that the 'maturity' has set in for both of us). It started out great and we got to reconnect. He even said that he loves me. All of a sudden *POOF!* he vanishes into thin air--no calls, no texts, no nothing.
- Greg (the author of the book) wrote that girls shouldn't waste their time thinking about "WHY?" because there's no other reason than "he's just not that into you"
-BUT it's so damn hard NOT to think about it because there's no closure. Of course, I wanted to know WHY?! alright, he may not be into me... but at least he could have told me straight up.
"He's just not that into you if he bullies you"
- The term "bullying" is a touchy matter. I think that you are being bullied if you are deeply offended or affected by what other people are directly saying about you or are doing to you. I'm seeing (we just had a chance for a 'real' date once but we see each other everyday at work) this guy who always calls me names. At first it was funny for me, too. But it became an everyday (nay, every minute) occurrence that it started to annoy the hell out of me. Then he started saying things about me to other people. BUT when we're alone, he couldn't keep his eyes and hands off me.
- Greg said, that these kinds of guys are insecure and should be avoided at all costs because any guy who bullies a girl would just not be that into the girl.
-BUT if you've already fallen hard for this guy, it's hard to detach your feelings from him. Yes, we started out fine and he just progressed into this name-calling machine. My feelings are already grounded and it's hard to pull them out.
- This guy also seems to not care AT ALL about how i feel. He used to be ok.. but now, he just doesn't show that he cares. He even ignored me today and acted all "i-don't-give-a-damn-care-about-what-you-do". AND he started messaging other girls on Facebook, calling them 'honey' or 'sweetie' or commenting on photos and videos of other girls with 'HOT!' or "you're pretty".
SO WHAT HAVE I LEARNED?
There are guys out there who are plain and simple COWARDS. Instead of being a real man and telling me how they feel straight up, they simply vanish into thin air or try to hurt me (possibly hoping that I would go away). Well you know what? Too bad that they're cowards. When I like somebody, I like them from the heart. And if they're too stupid to realize how much love i can give them, then it's their loss. It's CLICHE, i know.
It's so easy to write all this down, but i can't seem to apply what i've written in real life. Right now, i'm overcome with mixed emotions of anger, confusion and pain. I so want it all to be ok. I want me to be ok and strong. But in reality, deep inside i'm crumbling into millions of tiny pieces--again. I want to know why. WHY? Am I that ugly that they just keep running away as soon as they get close to me? Now, that makes me even more depressed.

Rudeness Won't Get You Anywhere
A few weeks ago, a popular Korean actress, Lee Da Hae, appeared on a KBS talk show where she was asked to imitate different accents. This included the American English accent and the British English accent. One of the hosts suddenly asked her to imitate the Filipino English accent.
This is where she made the most horrible mistake.
She imitated it in a way that infuriated the Filipinos--including me. Watch the video below and see why. We Filipinos DO NOT talk like that. We are a talented and educated bunch who had learned to speak English in schools since we were young. Although English may not be our first language, we understand and can speak English.
Lee Da Hae needs to learn her lesson that what she did was very rude. This little video clip has just tainted her popularity here in the Philippines.
Congratulations, Ms. Lee Da Hae, you no longer have a fan base here. You might not have heard about Claire Danes' rude comments about the Philippines years ago when she visited to film "Brokedown
Palace".
"Danes was quoted in Vogue as saying that Manila was a "ghastly and weird city."[1] She further remarked in Premiere that the city "smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over and that there is no sewage system and the people do not have anything — no arms, no legs, no eyes."" (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brokedown_Palace#Controversy)
Since then, Danes' popularity has gone down the drain.
You see what happens when you are rude to other people?
Please feel free to share your thoughts about this.
