LOVING YOU IS EASY COZ YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL


In this world where people are vain, the word “pretty” is often used as a sign of appreciation to the one who looks like an actor or actress seen on movies and televisions. They are the ones who have slim bodies, fair complexions, tall, perfect teeth, and shiny black hair.


What about those who don’t posses such qualities? We cannot deny the fact that there are people who are round, short, skinny, dark skin tone, crooked teeth and flat noses. Are they not pretty in the eyes of the judgmental society? Then again, who are we to judge?

We live in a cruel, demented world where people would discriminate you or look down of you if what they termed “acceptable” could not be seen in you. Those are the people who will pull you down even if you are successful. And it is all because of the word “insecurity”.



Honestly, I am one of the victims of insecurities. I wished I was taller.. wished my skin tone was fairer.. wished I was prettier.

For three years, I have often bugged my boyfriend with the question: “Why me? I am not as pretty as your exes back in Manila.” He would ask back: “Are you not pretty?” Of course, my answer would be a big “NO”.

One day, I asked him the same question again: “Why me? I am not as pretty as your exes back in Manila.” Then, he smiled at me, pulled me closer to him and hugged me. Then, he whispered in my ear: “Sweetie, you’re not pretty.. You’re beautiful.”

Those words weakened my knees. As if it were jellies wobbling that I had to cling on to him for support.

With those words, he made me realize that sometimes; physical appearance is not the most important factor when in a relationship. Sometimes, its how he/she looks at you in the most loving way without having regrets that it’s you they chose.

Whether you are tall or short, slim or round, fair toned or not, at the end of they day, those would not matter after all. Because at the end of the day, you would still find yourself back into the arms of that someone whom you love and sees you in the most beautiful way.. inside.. and out..

The Personality of Men Today (10/12/2007)

The Personality of Men Today

Have you ever heard of the song “Grow Old with You” by Adam Sandler? It tells how a man could devote himself to a woman he loves and also how a woman would like to be treated by a man.

Though every woman has a vision of what a perfect man should be, it would still come to the conclusion that they want someone who’s responsible, caring, honest, loyal, respectful, patient,
understanding and would accept them for who and what they are.


Nowadays, that vision of the so-called “perfect man” could only be seen on tv’s, the silver screen and on the pages of story books and novels I’ve read.

During time, men had evolved into this being that no one can understand the totality of him.
Men in general are most likely the most insensitive beings on this planet. Insensitivity happens by choice because all humans have feelings. It’s just that men pretend not to feel and acts so blindly so they won’ see. They become unaware of the feelings of the people
around them. They don’t realize that they are causing pain. It’s as if emotions are irrelevant and that it can be brushed off and forgotten.


Men have animalistic behaviors which tend to come out when they see women in sexy clothing. Like a mad dog, they can’t contain their drools. Their eyes grow bigger that its usual size. They gawk at the sight of these women. It’s like their brains are located in their groins. And based on my friends who are men, mostly, they are only after sex.

Men nowadays are egoistic beings. They don’t like their egos being stepped on. For them, it would be like being degraded as a man. Their machismo would be lost once their ego is targeted.

In the aspect of courtship, men can be the meekest of all people. They show off by treating the girl that they are courting with utmost respect, care and supposedly express their undying “love”
towards her. Buys her chocolates and roses, text her very now and then, goes out with her and watch movie together. But when the courtship ends, and the woman oh so willingly says “YES” and that she loves him too, all those things would turn into crap. Eventually, the “real” he slowly surfaces, which is devastatingly the total opposite of the person who had courted her. The roses
and chocolates no longer came, lesser text messages, no more going out, and definitely no more movies together. Totally snubbing the woman and takes her for granted.


Another thing is that what men term as friendship is merely a partnership with a collection of reciprocal interests and an exchange of favors – in fact, it is but a trade in which self-love
always expects to gain something.


Most men don’t know how to keep their word. Just like what Swift said. “Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.” Men make promises to their women only to find out in the end that it’s not going to happen. And with this, men become liars in every way. They will make the women believe in everything they say, but then again, all were just lies formulated in order to capture the women’s attention, interest and sympathy.

All of these things are unbelievably true. And sometimes, it just makes me wish that I could go back.. Back to when the only guy in my life was my father, my only best friend is my mother, and anything could be healed with a band-aid and lollipop. But those days no longer exists. What’s real is here and now.

With all of these things, I perceive men today as TOTAL JERKS.

The point here is that men have dark sides, but they also have a good side. It only depends on which side you choose to look into and embrace. Now you may realize that there is no such thing as the perfect man. He simply doesn’t exist in this world. What can only be seen here is the right guy who’s meant for a woman out there.


The things that I’ve written here are the majority of what men are like in this day and age. Still there are a few good men walking around this planet. Though the chances of finding one are 1 in
a billion, you must not lose hope. You just have to wait for him to come your way. That someone might be “the one” whom you can grow old with despite the odds of facing the personality of men today. So if you ever find that “someone”, who’s the opposite of my statements here, don’t let him slip away. I know I won’t, coz I’ve already have one of the best.

PReTeND (06/20/2007)

Sometimes, we have to give up something or someone at one point in our lives..

We have to sacrifice our own happiness for the sake of the happiness of others..

Sometimes we have to keep the tears from falling just to show the world that we're OK..

But deep inside, our hearts are broken into a billion pieces..

Dreams crushed..

Visions of the future are now a blurry..

Sometimes we blame someone for that loss..

Then again, life goes on..

Now..

I face the world in a mask of a happy face..

To ignore the pain..

To go on with my life..

Bearing the pain of yesterday..

Buried deep within me..

whew! (01/16/2007)

Time pass by so quickly..its been ages since ive written here..i am still a prisoner..but now, i am alone..i no longer have my inmates with me..no one to talk to..no one to be with..

Days drag by slowly..each agonizing day,i listen to the quietness and stillness of my cell..the bars are so cold..leaving me feeling empty..

I tried to scream for help..no one can hear me..i was left crying..till the time comes for the crickets to play their symphony again..

I have been a prisoner for so long..but freedom is not what i am after..i want my prison guard to feel compassion towards me..to make me feel as if i am cared for though i am cuffed..

When the time comes that i am free..i will no longer see the light of day..i am to be buried 6 feet under the ground..and during my funeral,i want all to know that i had died coz of a common heart disease..

The Prisoner (11/13/2006)

its been a while since the last time i have written here... u might think that im busy in school...or that ive got a million and one things to do in my spare time... well, guess what? u are all wrong...

ive been a prisoner... got no other route...no outings...no gimiks...on second thought...i am more than just a prisoner enclosed in a four-wall cell...i have been chained on the wrist, ankle and waist...i am no longer free...

but being the prisoner doesnt mean total isolation...i have my buddies who are ex-cons...they have tried to escape many times from the clutches of their own prison guards...but unluckily, there was no escaping them...

still, this said prison has its advantages... what are those? its a secret..
