good read every morning

I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day - today, and I'm going to be happy in it. 
- Groucho Marx

questions

Does “assuming” a good thing to come means you fully “believe” in it? OR it’s just a positive attitude for hope?

What’s more difficult? to convince others by sharing what you believe in OR convince yourself on something you don’t believe in?

I wonder what if people knew what’s coming, like a clear vision on at least the next 3 years of their life, probably there are much less time and effort will go to waste. And if ever the worst thing will happen like dying, then you’ll just have to enjoy your life from now on. right?

Isn't this the most scariest thing in the world:
What if the most inspiring story of people’s success available in reality are all just the “exception”.

If you’re the kind of person who is truly observing “self worth remains intact” since respect is a big thing for you; but then for once, you were being overlooked, underestimated by another person, what would be the best approach? To prove that person wrong (will that be worth it?) or forgive and move on?

Isn’t it destiny is more thrilling when you knew what's coming than not knowing anything at all?

quote of the day

Something has to sell

I’ve been out the whole day. In between car rides, shuttle, bus, jeepney trips. I’m exhausted, until I came up on something about the thick line between reality and superficiality (haha yeah, that’s what I came up with!). Well, I prove it to you, it has something to do during my (atleast) 270km day ride.

If you know these things exist in REALITY:

Politics

It’s not just about promising, sincerity and trust during the campaign. Unfortunately politics exist everywhere. Literally, in your home, in your workplace, school even in basketball. It’s all just about another way portraying who’s more powerful or righteous than the other. Or proving of someone to others that is not actually benefiting others except themselves.

Local TV

The stories of drama, crying, non-ending problems of the main character, undying devotion, from nothing to revenge, don't forget the title (just by itself) I’ll say it again, DDRRAAMMAA.  

exception to this one, it's honest. right? =)

Pictures in advertising

Funny, why is it usually the models of skin whitening products are already white even before they started endorsing it. I guess it’s just a mystery we’ll never solve.

Tag lines for brand names

Catchy! too good to be true! but I checked out the price, it’s just the same for like every other developers. And i’m sure you can find a lot of your own example too.

  

Human Resources

They told you you’re qualified, told you they will call you, or much worse- expect a call after 1 week. But really, none of it happened.

Celebrities

The sweety pie, the all nice to everyone, the exchange gift of a loveteam before the release of their upcoming movie on valentines day. come on! it’s a build-up.

Beauty contests

The smiling the whole time during the contests, large hair, thick make up in person, question and answer (don’t even try make me explain about this) promoting recyclable things, loving nature... getting rid of plastics. Oh!

Social climbers

I also define this as show offs. You can be in there, everywhere, buy this buy that. Then where’s the money coming from? From the money of your father or mother working hard as a domestic helper. You bought a “new thing” that’s worth half of the earnings of the one who works hard? I don’t know maybe it’s also the 3rd half of your monthly salary.

These were just some of the reasons why I’m not a fan of local TV, since 1^st year high school to be exact (9yrs. ago).  I’d probably just play music than watch all of these. You know, I'm dead if non-filipino movies doesn’t exist.

But don’t get me wrong, i’m a proud Filipino. Just not its form of entertainment.

Leo Woman: Amorous Nature

What she wants most is praise.  A lover has to ignore her shortcomings (she really doesn’t think she has any) and dwell on her virtues. In the same way applause makes the star of a play seem larger than life, the lavish admiration of a lover makes Leo woman feel plugged into a life enhancing incandescence. 

If you hope to get anywhere with her, you had better begin by accepting her inalienable right to be marvelous.  You may go on from there to a sounder, more realistic relationship, but that’s the foundation stone on which to build.

You would be wise not to her know if you have an eye for another woman.  As far as she’s concerned, she’s a cosmology of one.  The mere suggestion that she’s in competition with other women turns her off completely.  She’s above that sort of rivalry, and is actually a little afraid of it.  She can’t be a loser - and one way to avoid being a loser is not to get into that race.

However, she has to be free to rack up male conquests.  You’ll hardly ever see her without a man in tow, and often several.  There is something about her flamboyance, her queen-like assurance, that dazzles and attracts.  She wears men as other women wear jewelry - to embellish her image - and rarely lacks admirers.

Most descriptions of Leo woman make her sound hopelessly self-centered.  It would be more accurate to say that she has an intense drive toward self-realization.  Leo woman feels she was born to be someone special, and she must express this feeling.  Happily, she finds enormous self-expression in love.

A Leo woman in love gives her heart without reservations.  Her romantic nature is intense, vital, and uninhibited.  She doesn’t hold anything back, but by the same token she expects her chosen mate to be just as fervid as she is.  Although Leo is a marvelously sensual creature, kinky variations are not her game.  She prefers to heighten and dramatize the familiar by her passionate involvement.

Leo woman thrives in a marriage, but her partner may find living with her a bit overwhelming at times.  It isn’t easy attending to a queen.  When this woman feels shortchanged in love, she will turn bitter.

On the other hand, with a genuine prince consort, a queen can bestow her truly royal gifts - and Leo female certainly has them to bestow.  If you give her the affection and admiration that her nature requires, you will waken a tender passion in this extraordinary woman.  And you will have a mate truly fit for a king.
