SEMAK BOY Part 3

30 08 2006

So life has been strange and silly for the past few months. I don’t know why…..

For someone so silent he’s sure got some loud (and good) tunes……yesterday
So much shouting into the wind…
“erm, er, hi, erm…
The past doesn’t seem to end or even fade away. I see one thing from now and it reminds me of something from then. It’s a vicious circle. Never ending. Always present. I look into the eyes of one boy and see nothing but the eyes of the boy. I once asked him if we were okay? And his reply, “im okay with you we have always ben ok haven’t we”, was the most heartfelt thing I have ever gotten from him. Maybe im not the kind of person to just come out and say what I feel.
He started to whine again…He’s so physically uncomfortable wit his life now…

Dear my Semak Boy…
Sometimes people come into your life and you
know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of
purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be; your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere…safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience, are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from… those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive
them, for the pure fact that they have helped you learn about trust and the
importance of being cautious about whom you open your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you but also because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. You never know what day will be your last. Make sure every day counts, because you never know what you are missing out on when you let the days pass by carelessly.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.

If you don’t take chances, even if there is a possibility
of failing, you shall never succeed. You have to risk failure to have success.
Don’t waste your potential, you know know who’s watching or looking to you for their inspiration.

Don’t lose touch with yourself. Take a breather, relax, and spend some time getting back in touch with yourself. Learn to love yourself, with all of your faults, for they add character.

Don’t let your failure take over. Remember all the good things you’ve done. Don’t worry so much about the past, work harder in the future.

Make the most of everything…. because all of tht stories it inspired me…






What’s your romantic soundtrack?

30 08 2006

Lately I spent the weekend being very quiet in bed reading the mags, playing nintendo, doing my best to get rid of the flu trying to invade further. I was lucky because though tired beyond belief and headachey (but that’s a frequent deal for yours truly), and cold, I didn’t have the chills so badly my teeth were rattling.
You know the kind that don’t stop unless you submerge yourself in a hot hot bathtub…hmmm.


So the thought just occurred to me, why can’t you create your own private “romance” soundtrack to help draw to you the kind of love you seek? We create custom soundtracks to impress and seduce a guy or gal we’re interested in (it’s so easy these days though, it’s hardly a labor of love!), so why don’t we create soundtracks to denote the kinds of feelings we want to bring into our lives for romance just for ourselves? Rather than playing again and again a song that reminds us of “that night,” “that dance,” “that kiss,” etc. etc. why don’t we create soundtracks to the romantic future? Of course you don’t have to go announcing the reason for creating the cd/tape etc. to anyone, it can just be a bunch of cool tunes you like…but I love the idea. And yes, for me Portishead “Roads” is certainly on my soundtrack, I love it’s a bit jazzy plus triphop, “I’ve learned from the past and I’m ready now” hopefulness…and also, Nina feat Thor “The closer i get to you” .Her voice is so pure and heartbreaking. ‘Dia’ by Sheila Majid!! her voice so sweet oso..i loves her song. I also like Sheryl Crow’s “The Difficult Kind” – another song of learning from mistakes, and asking for forgiveness…but of course usually we are the ones who need to forgive ourselves!




Just Look Inside….soOoo sweet

29 08 2006


By Arnold Sabado

If you ever wonder about the man in your life…..you may want to look inside. Look inside. To see a different side of a man. Look inside. Realize that he can and does feel for you something different, something special. He wakes up in the morning, and you’re the first thing on his mind. If he could call you right then and there, he would. When he sees you, his heart leaps. Not just the first time, not just when you’re “alone”, but every time. Every time he meets you, it’s as if his whole world has been renewed. It doesn’t matter if it’s raining, or sunny, snowing, pleasant, or dreary. You make the rain tender, the sun warmer, the snow caressing, a dreary day funny, and a pleasant day perfect. Without you, his days would have no meaning. Of course, you say “But there could be another.” He says “There isn’t another. You are the only one…” He brings you flowers. Not so you’ll like him more, or so you’ll give him a kiss, but because he simply loves to make you happy. To see that smile on your face. Though you never knew it, it took him four months to get the courage to ask you out. Yes, he was nervous, scared. All guys are. While they try to seem tough and insensitive-deep down asking a girl out is the hardest thing in the world. And it’s only that hard because of you. You just had to be so perfect, so beautiful that his fear of rejection became overwhelming. And the day you said “sure” was the best day of his life. Look inside. Sometimes you find something that you weren’t looking for. Though he won’t admit it, he’d much rather cuddle with you in front of the TV for an evening than go out with the guys (well most of the time). When you hold his hand, when he holds yours, it’s the best feeling in the world. And when he sees you hurt or crying, it’s ripping his heart in two. Deep down, he’s a romantic. He’d love to sing you songs, but he just doesn’t have the voice. He’d love to take you on a moonlit walk down the beach, but he has to settle for a stroll in the park. He wishes he could bring you a dozen roses every day, but his wallet just won’t let him. Making you happy is his main goal in life. Some would say that a guy like this is not a man. He is too sensitive, too weak. But I say, for all the reasons on this page, that these things are precisely what makes him a man. And your existence alone has already completed his life. You are not aware of it, but he cherishes each and every moment with you as if it could be his last. Because, deep down, he is afraid that you may just decide to leave. And that is his biggest fear. And if you did leave, this man would cry. Each second with you completes him. Whether you’re walking together somewhere, cuddling on a chair, skiing the slopes, sharing an ice cream cone. No matter what it is you are doing, it makes him completely happy just to be with you. Look inside. It is often surprising. The little things are what he cherishes most. When he gets to brush your hair, when you accidentally (or perhaps on purpose) brush fingertips. When you call unexpectedly, just to say hi. He lives for these moments. He would, if given the chance, die for you. This may seem ridiculous, but he would gladly give anything and all for you. Just look inside. And you may find something worth holding onto. Now, just look around…because this guy is out there. Right now, at this very second, he is thinking of you. You may or may not know who he is. It may be your boyfriend, your best “guy friend”, or it could be someone you’ve never met. All the same, someday all he’ll want to do is make you happy. Look inside. I’ve loved and been loved. I’ve hurt and been hurt. This is life. But believe me, true love still exists. All you have to do is look for it. I know I do… each and everyday …and to the girl I have not yet found, simply – I love you. Look inside.

SEMAK BOY Part 2

28 08 2006
He’s just so depressed about his personal life, sad, disgruntled, disenfranchised and much more.we get along fairly well, but we kinda don’t have a lot to talk about at times cuz i had been fearful of speaking to him just now, I think he’s sooooo depressed. im really worried about him…, has no appetite and has a hacking cough…
I keep chating wit him…He listened and then listened some more and then agreed with me. He admitted that he’s feeling depressed and anxious what with losing his…….
I suggested he be very attentive and very patient. Patience is not one of his stronger points. I don’t know how else to help him. From things he said, I believe this woman cares about him…
Today, He still had his humor but it was sad to see him so slow n blurry murry. He’s seen far too much bullshit and sorrow in his life lately…
He’s a good guy. When he’s in relationships he does anything in his power to make his lady happy. I like that about him.

Are you really working at your relationship?

If you have told your significant other that you would work at the changes you need to make, are you doing it? Are you really working at making those changes? Nothing happens in a day, but nothing happens without effort, either. Saying that you will work toward improving your relationship is one thing. If you don’t follow through with action, that leaves the distinct impression that you don’t care enough about the relationship to do your part to make it better.

It’s not always the big things that make us frustrated. Little things wear away at us and sometimes just exhaust us. Whether it’s a big thing or those everyday annoyances that need to be worked at, do your part to bring about change. If the relationship is worth it to you, that is.





Top 10: Domestic Habits That Annoy Women

28 08 2006

According to estimates, there are over 50 types of domesticated animals in the world. With enough training and patience, man might someday be one of them. When it comes to shacking up with our significant others, we almost invariably revert back to our primitive, knuckle-dragging ways. Maybe it’s our way of silently protesting our captivity, or maybe it’s just the way we’re genetically programmed.

Whatever the reason, we have a unique and sometimes gleeful way of irritating the ones we love most. Read on for a closer look at the 10 most annoying things we do when living with the fairer (and, hopefully, more understanding) sex.


Number 10
We leave a wake of empty containers
While we have no problem taking out our trash, we will go to almost superhuman lengths to avoid having to fill them up in the first place. We’ll pour water into near-empty shampoo bottles to maximize whatever’s left; we’ll leave behind a thimbleful of milk in the carton instead of throwing it out. Heck, we’ll even leave a toilet paper roll with one square remaining and wipe with our shirts if we have to. So long as there’s just a teeny, tiny bit left, we won’t be the ones responsible for disposing of it and, more importantly, buying a replacement.

Number 9
We splash the mirror when we brush our teeth
Let’s face it: We’re territorial creatures at best. If it were socially acceptable, we’d pee on all of our possessions just to scare away other men (maybe not on our supply of beer, but you get the idea). Therefore, leaving behind a little white glob of toothpaste after we’ve brushed is just our way of marking our territory. It says, “I’ve been here and I’m cavity-free.”

Number 8
We leave hair in the sink after shaving
While we might like the result of a clean, smooth face, all men hate the actual process of shaving. It’s time-consuming, painful and a miserable way to start the day. Therefore, as a sign of protest, we elect to leave our pesky little beard trimmings in the sink to show ‘em who’s boss. Women might hate it, but it’s our way of celebrating victory in the battle against unwanted follicles.

Number 7
We use 10 drinking glasses a day instead of one
When asked about his habit of taking baths, Winston Churchill once replied, “Why stand when you could sit?”. The same rationale applies to the use of multiple glasses. Why use the same dirty, germ-ridden glass time after time when you could enjoy a crisp, sanitized one whenever you like? Not only is it healthier, but using different glasses for every drink helps us calculate if we’ve consumed our recommended eight daily doses of water. Besides, what fun is there in having possessions if you never use them?

Number 6
We pee on the toilet seat
Granted, this is one of our least pardonable offenses, but it wouldn’t have to be if women simply left the toilet seat up in the first place. Ladies claim that it’s good etiquette to leave the seat down, but the opposite is actually true. Consider this: Since women need to sit down to relieve themselves, it’s easy for them to bring the seat down with them in one fluid motion. We men, on the other hand, have to bend down, lift the seat, begin peeing, and then bend down again to return the seat when we’re done. We go to the washroom to pee, not to perform calisthenics.

Number 5
We litter the ground with laundry
“A place for everything and everything in its place,” they say. Well, that’s a nice idea, but who has the time? It’s far more fun to throw our clothes here and there as if a bomb went off in our closet. Not only is it faster to treat the floor like a giant laundry basket, but we can amuse ourselves for hours afterwards as we dodge and deke our fallen clothes while moving from room to room.

Number 4
We don’t do housework
When it comes to home repairs and renovations, men are king. We’re unequalled in our ability to fix basement steps, patch up aluminum siding and build spice racks. When it comes to cleaning, however, we’re lowly paupers without the faintest inclination to pitch in. We’ll lift our feet if we have to, and we’ll even move the odd piece of heavy furniture, but our contribution ends there. Hey, if God had wanted us to sweep and dust, he would have given us feathers instead of fingers.

Number 3
We burp & fart indiscriminately
Scientists and academics often comment upon what a shame it is that we use only 10% of our brains. For most men, the same reasoning applies to our sphincters and throats. Like any other part of our body, these muscles need to be kept in shape. And there’s simply no better way of doing it than burping the alphabet or heating up a “Dutch Oven” under the sheets. Women needn’t be disgusted by our behavior. In fact, they should be flattered that we’re comfortable enough around them to risk sharting ourselves. At the end of the day, isn’t that what love is all about?

Number 2
We develop a martyr complex when we get sick
When women get sick, they take the appropriate medicine and bivouac themselves in bed with a hot compress and a good book. When men get sick we go into a Shakespearian death throe, certain we’re on the verge of sputtering out our last breath. We collapse wherever is convenient, be it on the bed or on the front lawn, and mutter, moan and groan until we’ve scared off every living creature (and turned on every male dog) in a six-mile radius. It’s not subtle, but more often than not it gets us the attention we crave.

Number 1
We channel surf rapidly (and seemingly aimlessly)
As King of the Castle, we consider it our right to rule the remote control with an iron fist. For women, that means having to watch an endless parade of sports highlights, monster movies and home renovation shows. Making matters worse is the lightning-fast speeds at which we flip through the channels — so fast as to trigger epileptic seizures seven households away. Hey, it’s not our fault there are 501 channels.

annoying things men do
It’s been millions of years since we first emerged out of the primordial ooze, and we’re still evolving at a glacier rate. Unfortunately for the fairer sex, we’ve chosen to embrace our domestic shortcomings rather than correct them, flaunting all the habits that make them grimace and squirm.

Some day we might grow up. And some day pigs might fly.

Until then, we’ll continue to enjoy our constitutional right to shamelessly scratch ourselves while watching sports highlights in our underwear. It’s good being a man.
