The durrty truth about cheating

2009-01-18T10:01:16Z

Disclaimer: I don't own this article. It's from Seventeen Philippines Mag's May 2008 issue. LOL. I thought some peepz would be interested in reading this.

First of all, what is cheating?

20% say regularly talking, texting, or IMing with someone other than your BF / GF.

25% say flirting with someone other than your BF / GF.

66% say hanging out with someone other than your BF / GF (and then lying about it).

90% say kissing someone other than your BF / GF.

99% say intercourse with someone other than your BF / GF.

Why do people cheat?

GUYS:

Peer Pressure: His single friends want him to be one of the guys - so in order to get their approval, he has to show them that he's a player.
Fear of Confrontation:He wants to break up with his girl but doesn't want the drama - so he cheats and hopes she'll find out. (It seems easier than talking over!)
The Thrill: It makes him feel good to be able to get another girl to like him (even if someone already does!) - and he isn't too afraid of getting caught.

GIRLS:

Craving Closeness: She doesn't feel like her boyfriend is opening up to her lately, so she hooks up with someone to get the intimacy she needs.
Revenge: She's angry at her boyfriend, so she hooks up with another guy to get back at him and prove that she could have any guy she wants.
Attention: She's secretly worried that guys don't find her attractive, so hooking up (temporarily) makes her feel better about herself.

How to survive the drama of cheating:

Step 1: Have a reality check.

Realize that it's not you, it's him. He didn't hook up with someone because she's prettier or has something you don't - he did it because he lacks emotional maturity. He can't handle the intensity of being in a relationship.

Step 2: Wallow in it.

Hibernate. Cry. Eat ice cream. It's okay to feel sad because, after a while, you'll want to feel happy again and forget about him.

Step 3: Get mad.

Let your rage out in an e-mail, then delete it! Unleashing the anger helps you to move on.

Step 4: Go out!

Hit the mall, the movies - just get your mind off him. Your self-worth doesn't center around your relationship. So it's time to show the world a new, stronger you!

Let's face it. The book is way better than the movie. But then, no matter how bad the movie is compared with the book, I'm pretty sure that the movie will be a sure hit. I've heard from a couple of my friends here in Guam that they've seen the movie not just once... And yea, some of then said they saw it not just twice... Heck. One of them said she watched the movie five times!

Rob Pattison sure did a good job using his charms in the movie. Gawd. He is just such a hottie. With his bad boy looks, damn. He looks uber smexy. Gawd. Gawd. Gawd. It would be nice to wake up each and every morning seeing him beside you in bed. LOL!

The movie focused more on the kilig parts. And though it didn't follow the book much, the director still made a wonderful job on this.

I mean, Bella's father was super out of character if you'll read the book. And yea, some of the scenes (or should I say the supposed-to-be-climax of the story) was rushed. It would be really nice to see detailed scenes on the parts where Bella was tricked by James, right?

But no matter what, I still enjoyed the squealing inside the movie house because of *ahem* Rob Pattison's hawtness. LOL. I just couldn't get over it so please just bear with me. ;)

Overloved

2008-11-29T22:50:42Z

Overloved

I need to find somebody who can't sleep at night
Without holding me... without holding me tight
I want someone who sees me all the time in their dreams
And then wakes up thinking just of me
Spent time on my own
Spent time being free
Now I just wanna be

Overloved
Over needed
Over wanted
Over missed when I'm away
Overloved
Over dreamed of
Over cared about
Over everything
I'd give anything to be overloved

I want someone who can't wait to kiss me again
Even though it's been a minute since they last did
Want someone who loves love songs
And dedicates them to me
And two loving arms never out of reach
Been fine all alone
Did fine being free
This time I wanna be
This time I wanna be

Overloved
Over needed
Over wanted
Over missed when I'm away
Overloved
Over dreamed of
Over cared about (Over cared about)
Over everything
I'd give anything to be overloved

Want someone to talk to me with talk so sweet
Want someone who's there to share their world with me (Oh baby)
I've been too lonely for too many nights
This time I need someone here in my life
This time I want someone holding me tight
Been under kissed, under touched
Now I just wanna be

Overloved
Over needed
Over wanted
Over missed when I'm away
Overloved
Over dreamed of
Over cared about
Over everything
I'd give anything to be overloved

I just wanna be
Overloved
By someone who's over in love with me
overloved
Over kissed over touched over missed

Oh I just wanna be overloved

overloved...

I am not bitter.. But I'm not altogether happy.

2008-11-17T11:37:14Z

I am intelligent enough to know that hatred is a curved blade. It doesn't harm the people I hate. Instead, it eats me whole... It kills me.

Each and every day I tell myself, "Kristine, it's over so get over it. Let it go. Let it pass."

And yes, I try so hard to etch that in my head and heart. I try to stop hating. I try to stop thinking of possible ways on how to get even with the people who hurt me. I try to stop thinking of revenge.

I try to, but my attempts were futile.

My efforts were fruitless.

Everyday I let go of the negative feelings.

And everyday I hold on to them with an iron grip.

And the feeling of alternating emotions I get from letting go and holding on everyday is absolutely sickening... devastating...

Truth to be told, there are times when I don't feel like I could still keep my sanity intact with all the mixed feelings I have.

Today I forgive.

Tomorrow I curse to death.

The day after tomorrow I forgive again.

And the crazy cycle goes on and on.

My busy busy life

2008-11-08T13:06:32Z

So I took my Basic Life Support class yesterday from 8 am until 2 pm.

I learned how to do the CPR in that class. And of course, I got the chance to *ahem* have a mouth-to-mouth with dummies. LOL.

Right after my class, I went to work. Haha. Busy life huh? Oh well. I guess thats about it.

Loving You

2008-10-21T14:07:19Z

Loving You

The next time I have the urge to speak negatively

or rudely to you, I’ll swallow and be silent.

Loving you doesn’t give me the license for rudeness.

If I can’t be generous and supportive, I’ll at least

try not to stand in your way.

Loving you means wanting you to grow.

I won’t put my problems onto you.

You have

enough problems, I’m certain, and you don’t need mine.

My love should simplify your life, not complicate it.

I don’t always have to be right.

I can accept

the fact that you are right as often as I am.

Loving is sharing with each other.

If I already know I’m right, all the time,

I’ll never profit from your insight.

I don’t always have to be running the show.

Loving is an ebb and flow.

Sometimes I need to give in.

And at other times I need to take control.

I don’t have to be perfect, nor do you.

Love is a celebration of our humanness, not our perfection.

I can give up wanting to change you.

If I want you in my life, the best thing for both of us

is for me to accept you as you are.

After all, love is moving forward together in mutual growth.

I don’t need to place blame.

Since I’m an adult

who makes decisions based upon personal experience,

there is no one to blame for a poor decision except myself.

Love puts the responsibility where it belongs.

I can give up expectations.

To wish is one thing, to expect is another.

One brings hope, the other can

bring pain.

Love is free of expectations.

What makes men cheat (according to Dating 101 of Yahoo)

2008-10-20T11:52:05Z

After signing out from my yahoo mail, I was brought to the yahoo website. And viola! In the middle of the screen (you know, where yahoo posts its featured articles), the words 'What Makes Men Cheat' flashed before me in bold letters. Yes, as though it was mocking me, the words were in BOLD letters!

Out of sheer curiosity, I clicked on the title of the article and yea, it shed some light on my never ending questions about why a lot of the male population just couldn't be contented with their partner.

Anyway, some of the reasons why men cheat (according to yahoo) are:

48% of men rated emotional dissatisfaction as the primary reason they cheated.
66% of cheating men report feeling guilt during the affair.
77% of cheating men have a good friend who cheated.
40% of cheating men met the other woman at work.
Only 12% of cheating men said their mistress was more physically attractive than their wife.
Only 6% of cheating men had physical intimacy with a woman after meeting her that same day or night.

Today is the ninth of October.. Wala lang.. May naalala lang..

2008-10-20T10:51:03Z

Today is the ninth of October.. Seven months na sana kami ngayon..

Ewan ko ba kung bakit nagkakaganito na naman ako. I promised not to think about it anymore.. But somehow, I just… couldn’t get it out of my head.

I promised not to write about it.. And I also told myself before that I will never cry because of that relationship again..

Yes, I always tell myself.. “This is definitely going to be the last tears that I’d cry for him..”

And then I would find myself the next day crying about it again.

That’s how it is. Or maybe, that’s how weak I am.

I am weak. I am a coward.

I always hide behind my decietful laughs and smiles.. But deep inside, yes, I’m falling apart.

I pretend I’m okay when I’m not.

I tell the whole world I’m fine when inside I’m a total mess.

I tell them things don’t matter to me anymore when the truth is, they are the things I think about each and every day… each and every moment…

I’m hurting.. But I try to deceive the world that I’m absolutely fine.. Or maybe, I’m trying to decieve myself that I’m okay.. That nothing’s wrong.. That soon things will be alright.

I was fine before he walked into my life. Not that I’m putting all the blame on him. Somehow, I wanted to put him into my life.. I wanted him to become a part of it. Really. I wanted to. I tried to..

But then, I was too weak to even stand for him. I was too scared.. There was a lot to be scared of anyway.

There was so much at stake that I just couldn’t afford to lose.

I know past is past and I should get over it. BECAUSE I HAVE TO GET OVER IT. But then, it amazes me that somehow, I just don’t know how to leave everything behind me.

I just don’t know how to fully let go of everything.

I don’t want to find someone else and use that someone just to forget the things that hurt me now. Before, I thought that was the prefect way out. Because that was what people around me tell me. They all say that in order to forget someone, you have to find someone else to replace his position. But now, I proved myself wrong. Getting over someone takes more than finding someone else to replace him. It takes more than that. Really.

And I guess, that’s what I have to learn right now.

I know that everything that happens to me is part of the Lord’s plan. He has bigger plans for me than I have for myself. And I just couldn’t wait to find out what plans He has for me.

I just hope that this will be the last time I’ll write about it… And the last time I’ll cry about it…

Happiness..?

2008-03-01T13:46:32Z

And now I've finally proven that happiness is really earned by contemplating the misery of another.

I hope everyone's happy now..

Guess I was born to make them happy at the expense of my own.

Weight Loss Tips

2008-01-25T03:50:31Z

Weight Loss Tips. *sigh* I hate getting fat! Maybe i should add these things to my list of resolutions.

Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Drinking eight glasses of water is almost like a must. And do not forget to drink water in the morning, the moment you wake up. In fact this is one of the most rapid weight loss tips that the dieticians suggest to the people.

Have organic foods for the breakfast like apples, bananas, plain yogurt, tomatoes, carrots, peppers, raw honey, wild smoked salmon, and so on.

Keeping a track on the watch, go for an hour walk. It need not be power walking, but definitely it should be non-stop walk and that’s for sure, in a couple of days only, you’ll start finding the difference in you.

Another tip regarding how to lose weight fast, easy and safe is that you should have your dinner about 4-5 hours before going off to sleep.

The two-point program that will ensure the ultimate success is: regular exercise and balanced diet.

Don’t depend upon fat burning diet supplements. They wont go a long way in helping you sustain your reduced kilos.

Soft drinks cannot benefit you in any way. They contain 150 empty calories, so if you substitute one bottle of soft drink with water each day, it will do wonders for you. It will enable you to lose about 16 lbs per year.

Sometimes boredom becomes a cause of overeating, so keep yourself busy.

If you want to seriously control your weight, then you have to stop yourself from getting lured into trying tempting foods.

As important is to pay attention to the fact that we eat the right food, equally vital is to keep a watch on the quantity. Without altering your diet plan, even if you’ll reduce 5-10% of your consumption, it will prove beneficial.

Eat slowly so that you can get a feeling that you have had enough food and your tummy is full. Eat slowly and fully relish the taste.

Of weirdness and six.

2008-01-25T03:38:17Z

Got tagged by my bestfriends: Glerren and James. *sigh* I can't believe I'm forced to do this.

Rules: The first player of this game starts by answering the "6 Weird Things / Habits About Yourself" and people who get tagged need to blog about their 6 weird habits / things, as well as stating this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "You are tagged." in their comments and tell them to read yours.

My six weird and not-so-weird habits:

1. When it comes to liking someone, i am very, very fickle. I mean, I think that I like a guy for like a day and then the next, something really, really weird happens. *ahem* I feel like I hate the guy for no reason at all. Have you ever felt that way? Today, you are totally in to him and then the next morning you wake up, you feel like there's a bottled up anger in you that you wanted to slap him really hard. Man, I think that's weird.

2. My weird french fries eating habit: Let's get this straight. I take in more ketchup than the fries. Normal people have it the other way around, right?

3. Danica calls this attitude the 'throwing-people attitude'. I don't literally throw people out. Heck. I'm not that strong to do that. The easiest way to explain this is that I throw people out of my life... Figuratively. One wrong move and you're done for. I don't need you. I don't want you. And that's it. Believe me, I never felt sorry for doing that. Oh well... Don't be scared... THIS RARELY HAPPENS.

4. I daydream a lot. Sometimes, I may look like I'm listening but actually, I'm already spacing out.

5. While asleep, I do so many movements. There are times when I wake up and realize that I have done a complete 180 degree turn... and on special occasions, I wake up on the floor. Hopefully, you know what I mean.

6. I have the so-called panic-attacks. My bestfriend [Glerren] finds it amusing. I don't know why. But I do panic even at times when I don't have to.

LOL. Finally. After so many failed attempts. I have finally completed my six weird habits. :)

I'm tagging Danica, Allison, Arjyll...

To be continued. I can't think of anyone to tag.

Resolutions

2008-01-25T02:44:13Z

And they say that a promise not written is only a wish...

...So here! Instead of just writing my resolutions, I published it... [for everyone to see!!!].

MY CRAZY RESOLUTIONS:

1. By 10:00 in the evening, I'll make sire that I'm already in bed. This will help me with my eyebags. :)

2. I'm going to avoid eating junk foods. And sadly, that includes my all time favorite french fries.

3. I'm going to spend $20 per month for my cellphone load. That means, I only have $10 in two weeks. Aww... This is going to be hard!

4. I'll drink a bottle of green tea daily. This will also help me to lose some weight. XD

5. By 7:45 in the morning, I'll be up so that I'll still have a few minutes to stretch and do a bit of exercise. Man, I'm seriously gaining too much and not to mention, unwanted, weight.

6. No matter what happens, I'm not going to eat rice when it's past 6:00 PM.

7. I will only surf the net every morning [before going to work, that is].

8. I'll spend a little less time bathing.

9. I'm going to be more optimistic.

10. Lastly, I'm going to allot time to review my ASVAB book. I didn't buy that book for displaying purposes, anyway.

this is why i somewhat dislike being a girl

2007-12-30T11:30:22Z

Having a vagina could be considered both a blessing and a curse.

It could be a blessing in the sense that there are some who desire to have what you have between your thighs, women. I'm talking about the gays here, people! They desperately want a vagina, right?!

RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh man... If only I had a choice... If only I could exchange it with a man's... you know... I definitely would. One reason is that it's expensive to have a vagina. I mean, when you have the so-called period of the month, you have to buy sanitary napkins -which you won't get for free. Oh and don't you dare to forget that we, women, use feminine wash. Well, I've never heard of any masculine wash. So in the field of money-saving, men are considered winners for having their... you know.

Another reason why I would have preferred to have the men's thing is that it's painful when you have the penis counterpart. Again, let me talk about the curse that every woman in this world has every month. People, as what most -if not all- of you know, women bleed every month. And I believe that not all of you understand how painful it is when you have your menstruation. My, if only men would bleed every month, I guess they won't have the guts to hurt any girl's feelings by leaving them when they find a hotter chick.

Also, when you are blessed with a vagina, you have to get pregnant for nine months or so then suffer the pain of getting the baby out of your tummy. See? It's easier to become a man! It's waaaaay easier to become Adam's descendant than to become Eve's!

Oh my!!! Why don't men suffer like women do?! Why? Why?! WHY!!!

Finally!!!
