sakpan ko sa akong friend!

I was happy yesterday to get a phone call from an old friend who said he came across Romance Tracker by doing a Google search for something having to do with romance.He was surprised to see my smiling mug here on the site and called to ask me how long I’d been blogging about old-fashioned romantic ideas.

I started Romance Tracker only four months ago, and it’s a great feeling to have an acquaintance randomly stumble upon the site while they were looking for romance advice!  The huge amount of daily search traffic we’re getting from people looking to add romance to their relationships is really encouraging, and the call I got from my friend was great inspiration to continue posting.

There are more romantic people out there than ever before!

 disagree with him, of course, although I do understand his frustration.  It can take many years for a romantic person to find that perfect someone, and until that day comes it’s easy to find yourself thinking that you’re the last person on earth who really cares about romance.  Today’s society and pop culture doesn’t really give a whit about true romance, as flipping through the cable channels or listening to the radio will quickly show you.

That doesn’t mean, though, that there are no romantic people left in the world!  On the contrary, I believe that there are more romantic people than ever before surrounding us.  With the media and pop culture becoming so crass and cynical about romance, the truly romantic couples out there are learning the value of keeping their relationships private and finding pleasure in simply making each other happy.

Remember: true romance in relationships is subtle, not flashy.  And for that very reason, romantic couples can sometimes be hard to find.  But it doesn’t mean they aren’t there

The secret to meeting a romantic person

But what about finding a romantic man or woman who isn’t taken yet?  Do romantic single people really even exist in the world anymore?

Of course they do!  And they aren’t really that hard to find, either, no matter where you live.  The problem facing most people who are looking for a romantic boyfriend or girlfriend is that they are looking in the wrong places.

There really is a guaranteed way to meet a person who values romance as much as you, and this is it: surround yourself in a romantic environment.  No, I don’t mean you should cut out a bunch of little paper hearts and hang them all over your office.  But I do mean that you should commit yourself to living a romantic lifestyle to attract other people of the same mindset.

No, you probably aren’t going to meet a romantic person in a bar

It may be easier to meet single people at bars and clubs, but do you really think that you’re likely to find a romantic person at one of those places?  By spending your free time in activities and places that truly interest and inspire you, you’re much more likely to eventually come across another single person who values the same.

It may take longer to find someone by immersing yourself in what you enjoy, but when you finally do begin a relationship it will be with a person who has similar interests, similar passions, and a similar love for romance.  By taking your time, you’ll guarantee yourself a more stable, more fulfilling and more exciting relationship.

Be proud of being romantic . . . and you’ll find that special someone

So take heart if you’re one of the many single people who feels doomed to never finding that special someone who is as romantic as you are.  He or she is out there, I guarantee it, and you’re going to find them sooner or later.

But by surrounding yourself in a romantic environment and letting yourself do the things you love to do, you’ll help make that day come sooner . . . rather than later!

Am i {inlove}

Falling inlove with someone is wonderful, intense experience, but it can also be more little confussing. Having a hard time figuring what the hell is wrong with you :) Are you sick? Going crazy?  DId someone cast a voodoo curse  on you? 

Well, probably not. The first early symptoms of being in love can mirror illness or mental instability, sure. :) But once you learn to really enjoy being in love and get used to the idea of having a little old-fashioned romance in your life, you’ll start to appreciate these weird new symptoms you’ve come down with.

So, are you really in love, or just infatuated? People who fall in love for the first time experience hundreds of unique and individual emotions, thoughts and feelings, but there are a few classic symptoms that most lovesick individuals tend to develop.

1. think about them all of the time

2. everything reminds you of them

3. you care more about their safety and happiness than you do about your own

4. you start caring more about your own appearance

5. you’re actually interested in knowing more about them

6. you want to impress them

7. you aren’t as tight with your money or time anymore

8. hanging out with your friends just isn’t as appealing any more

9. commitment is actually starting to sound like something you could stand

10. you just aren’t noticing other members of the opposite sex

mao ni akong gibati. pero not sure if this is love. toinks!

this song gave me strength

See my days are cold without you but im hurting while im with you and though my heart cant take no more. I cant keep running back to you.

I found my strength to finally get up and leave. No more broken heart for me. No more telling you lies to me. Im looking like I got my head on right so now  I see. No more giving you everything. Theres no more taking your love to me.

Glad to wake up everyday without you on my brain. No more waking up lat at night. No more having fuss to fight. Im proud to say that I will never make thesame mistake. No more thinking about what you do. Theres no more me running back to you. You must be used to me crying. While youre out bumping and griding but im leaving you for good.

abi nimo ? im soooo over you dude

I must admit i was trippin early on, so not myself boy you had me completely gone. I lost my cool when i found out about you and how cowardly you move. Im just glad that now im so over you. I am finished crying over your lying, over denying, I am so over you. I am finished with it. Aint no more hurting over here.

I am back doing my own thing, said i am finished with it. I got my mind right, aint no more late nights waiting up on you. Now we done been through this same cycle, time and time let you back in even when you broke this heart of mine. I had enough, boy swear this time im done. You can pack all your stuff, frankly i dont give a damn. Im so over you. I got my swagga back again, and no, Im not trying to be your friend and no hitting this again.

Goodbye and have fun with your life!

wahahaha!!! bust it boys

aduy! aduy! aduy!

Now you want to talk to me.. hmmm.. what for? you are part of my past and i left it all behind. kigwakels! i dont recycle pud! wahahahaha!!! unsa pud daw storyahan? kung business na okay kaayo pero kung nakaraan, ahak! nevermind na lang. Im not mad or anything pero i really find it so non-sense.

Speeding to the fastlane, pedal to the flow man, trying to get back from my love. Now that i have good thing, dikit dikit na pud. Believe me i learned a lot from my past. I can say is dili na ko mauto ug dili nako tanga. toinks!

Im happy with my life not having you around. I have family, friends take note, real friends and I am studying again preparing for abroad and at the same time my business is rocking! I have a positive surrounding and im so glad and happy. I feel complete and fulfilled. I am telling you this because honestly i can not offer you anything wait! i can offer you my friendship. Kung dili nimo kaya ayaw dawata kay i hate fake people samot nag imitations. wahahaha

G o o d l u c k na lang sa imo.

all i can say is

Sa wakas! Early nahurot ang foods so I decided to walk and go to bookstore to buy something to read. Something knowledgeable. As i was looking to lots of books something caught my eye. A very good book pero very expensive and kulang ko sa budget. (how sad) so i decided to read na lang the summary of it.

Title: Working for Values will Make You Happy

Ang ingon sa book, If you want to be happy, its very simple. Maximize pleasure and minimize pain. This advice is as good as this one. Do you want to be rich? Simple! Buy low and sell high.

The fact is that people can be happy while in pain and unhappy while experiencing pleasure.

So, the author has given something like “Inventory of Happiness” composed of the 6 basic desires with good description so that you can compare and identify which ones do you desire strongly. These basic desires hold a key to ones happiness. The ones that you strongly desire are the keys to your happiness. Try to satisfy those, provided they match the values you uphold in life. If you dont agree with your true values , satisfying them will not make you happier.

The 16 Basic desires are listed below. I have taken some liberty in changing them from the format and text in which they were presented by the author. Each one is provided with a leading question to help you determine if you desire it “strongly” or not.

1. Curiosity. Do you have a thisrt for knowledge?

2. Acceptance. Do you have a hard time coping with criticism?

3. Order. Does it upset you when things are out of place?

4. Physical Activity. Is physical fitness very important to you?

5. Honor. Are principles and loyalty important to you?

6. Power. Do you often seek leadership roles?

7. Independece. Do you think you wont be happy if youre not independent and self-reliant?

8. Social Contact. Do other people know you as fun-loving person?

9. Family. Does family comes first for you?

10. Status. Are you impressed with people who own expensive things?

11. Idealism. Compared with most people. are you more concerned with social causes?

12. Vengeance. Is it very important for you to get even with those who insault and offended you?

13. Romance. Is seeking/receiving love very important in your life?  Here is an alternate question for people who are more inclined towards sex. Compared to your peers, do you spend much more time pursuing or having sex?

14. Eating. Do you love to eat and often fantasize with food?

15. Saving. Do you love to save for the future or hate to throw things away.

16. Tranquility. Instead of noise and excitement, do you seek calm and tranquility?

Be factual and objective in your evaluation. Sometimes, we think that a particular quality or value is important to us, but our actions indicate otherwise. HAving identified your strong desires, prioritize them.

Pursuit of right values brings happiness. Pleasure and happiness are often opposite. Hence, pursue of pleasure for sake of pleasure is bound to create unhappiness in time. Strive for value-bases happiness.

People who should be called “successful” are those who constantly turn to family, faith careers and clean fun and leisure to satisfy their most important desires. When we feel our lives have meaning, which is to fulfill a deeper and larger purpose in the universe, we experience a spiritual satisfaction. Without spiritual satisfaction, a life is not truly lived.

My definition of L O V E

One must understand wheter ” what is love ” can be a question which can be answered? Love cannot be a question. For, if it is a question then an answer should be there. If the answer is there, where is it? This question is ancient and an aswer should have been found by now! If the answer has been found the question would have disappeared.

But the question still remains, meaning the answer has not been found. If it has not been found as yet, then what is the certainty that it will be found? Maybe the mind can never find the answer! A single answer, which will please all minds is not possible for each mind has its own ideas of love. Hence a universal answer is an illusion.

Individuals answer  are there for love and for this very reason there are arguments about love for each mind will contradict the answer of another mind. This contradiction is normal for each mind lives in a different point in time. Hence “what is love” is an illusionary question, which has no answer.

My own definition of L I F E

I believe that our characters are tested daily, to see how we can adapt to or react to the people and events around us. No one is immune to these tests. You are not exempt from the daily testing of your character if you are young, old, rich, poor or famous. You are not exempt by education, race, creed or social status. Everyone is tested.

I believe its just plain healthy to always stop to remind yourself that every human being is born without any knowledge of this world because of this everything has to be learned and since everything has to be learned mistakes are unavoidable. Another point to keep in mind is its probably impossible to change this learning process of life. The only thing that might change it is if all humans were born with complete knowledge of every variable in our universe and knew the exact and perfect way to act in every situation. Thats just not how it is. Our life is a journey to understand how all of the variables in the universe work. The learning process goes on everyday of our lives. The universe operated in a specific way, and and men and women will continue to make mistake after mistake until they learn to get it right and hopefully adapt and change in a positive way.

So if mistakes are part of the equation, how should we act when they are made by others? Well, if someone is rude to you, you can be rude right back. If someone yells at you, you can yell right back. Thats one way to go about it. However, with that response, the errors are compounded. Instead of one mistake, there are now two. Instead of one poor choice, there are now two. Using these strategies, our world and our life are worse off. Maybe theres a better way. After all, we all want to be happier and would like our world to enjoy profits, not suffer losses. Our world ends up with one poor judgement, followed by one good judgement. Thats a better score that two poor judgements. After all, you dont have to work on changing the whole entire world, just work on changing yourself and how you deal with situations in your life. Its much easier to point fingers outward instead of inward especially when you believe you could stay the same, and everyone else must change. Few stop to think that when you change yourself for the better, you are guaranteeing that you are changing the world in some small way for the better.

What i am advocating here is to accept the fact of life. We are only in this planet in out conscious state for a short visit. Start today to make the visit the most productive and the joyous you can. Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive people who are nice to be around. Accept the fact that there are negative people and events that are not going away no matter how angry you get. Take their negative ways in stride, and dont let them get the best of you. Dont waste your time trying to analyze and changet them. They will drain every last ounce of energy and health from your body. Make your short visit to our beautiful planet the absolute best you can and enjoy everyday.

One of the characteristics that distinguish human beings from the plant kingdom and other animals  is our freedom to make choices. For better or worse, we humans possess specific powers of choice.  The powerfull freedom of choice that is bestowed upon us should be recognized and respected as an honor and privilege to behold. Human beings possess free will and consciousness.

Every single choice that we make in life counts. The choices that we make today will have an impact on exactly where we will be in life tomorrow, next year and a decade. Every single choices that we make also comes at a cost so every choice that you make in your life demands payment (up front) of your time and oppurtunity cost. Since you are in charge of the choices that you make, it logically follows that you are also responsible for their results. How could it be any other way? Nature made you the boss of yourself. Its both immature as well as irresponsible to blame someone else for the choices you make. You are totally the responsible for your choices.

Since we are free to choose, it also means that we are free to make mistakes. So naturally people will make them. Most of the choices that are made are those that are only concerned with the short-term consequences.  To only make choices wit the short-term in mind is everyones right. But it often comes with a large long-term price tag. Another mistake that people continually make is the DENIAL of responsibility of their choices.

Kung sa tagalog pa “Kung anong itinanim iyon din ang aanihin.” Kung masamang gawa ang lagi mong ginagawa ofcourse it will always come back to you. Makaingon jud ka na bilog ang mundo. So for those people na ganahan kaayo manakit ug kapwa muabot ra nang time na kamo na pud ang masakitan. Pag kanang time muabot, kataw-an tamo! wahahahaha
