Women are Like Apples on the Trees

I've received this message from a stranger. It was cute so I decided to post it here ;)
 
Here it goes;
I want you to know that women are like apples on the trees. The best ones are on the top of the tree. Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they sometimes take the apples from the ground but they are not as good but easy. The apples at the top think there is something wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along. The one who is brave enough to go all the way to top of the tree.

Now, men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes and its up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with

You can stomp on me anytime you want to and I am a very brave man who would climb that tree for you.......

You are very beautiful...I hope you find the man of your dreams and when you do, I hope that that man will see and understand what a precious gift he has just received!!

Watch yourself because there are wolves (men with wrong intentions) on this site

Remember to KEEP YOUR WALL up and when you can find the man who can slowly and patiently slower your wall down ..then you'll know that you have found him..

Do not be too transparent (give out too much info) on this site, leave enough to make him want to come back. And see how much he will.. if he is serious he will always contact you even if you not online.. also do not reply back at all times..make him think you're busy talking to someone else..if he truly wants you.. you will be worth the wait to him!! (I would wait for you) anyways ..

I am not expecting a reply..I just wanted to tell you .take care of yourself beautiful!

I Miss Being In Love

0 comments Posted by Shanty Socialite

 I just want to share this poem I saw in one of the forums I'm following. It's written by a certain member named Eliza. It actually describes what I'm feeling now.

I miss being in Love…

I miss how it feels warm and peaceful inside
I miss those calls just to say he’s thinking of you
I miss embracing him while laying by his side
I miss that feeling of intimacy when you know it’s so true

I miss being in Love…

I miss coming home to his arms open wide
I miss dancing together to sweet loves melodies when your in the mood
I miss making silly faces just to pissed him off
I miss throwing jokes and makes his face turns to red

I miss being in Love…

I miss those long walks side by side where our hands meet and held so tight
I miss when he makes me smile when I was feeling so blue

I miss being in Love…

I miss saying I'm sorry when it was my fault because God knows I’ve tried
But the most precious moment I miss is saying those meaningful words… I love you 

Well... I don't really miss someone from my past...
I JUST SIMPLY MISS BEING IN LOVE.
Who would that be? No idea, I just know that he's gonna be worth the wait! ;)

When "But" Exists in Love

0 comments Posted by Shanty Socialite

“I love him but he does not love me.”

“I love him but he loves somebody else.”

“I love him but he doesn’t know it”.

I love him but am afraid it might ruin our friendship.”

These are some of what my friends usually say to me when they ask for some advice. I am neither a “love genius” nor someone who had a degree on Bachelor of Arts in Love and Relationships. I probably can say that am an observer of life and love and I’ve learned a lot thru that. (though this wouldn’t give a license for me to advice, but anyway, we r on a democratic country…everyone is free to write whats on his mind as long as he knows his limitation)

Back to my topic…

Just like any other girl, fairytales and movies end with “…and they live happily ever after” make me believe that love exists to stand and stay- and because of that idea, I have started to dream and create my own love story for so long. They differ depending on what situations or emotions are driving me in- and believe me, those stories could probably win an Oscar award if given a chance to be seen on the big screen.

A man wearing his best suit ever while looking directly on my eyes saying how much he loves me, a romantic place where there are only two people- me and my man (and of course, our dear moon, shining his light towards us) and a nice dinner date with endless love songs playing. These are some of the content of my dreams and it feels good when you imagine yourself with someone, somewhere in those dreams, but it strikes your heart hard when you open your eyes, and finally realize that everything is just a “smoke” destined to vanished as soon as the air whispers.

What am I saying? well in the real world, you could not simply say “I love you”. There is always a “but” which makes it complicated. The “but” becomes a big hindrance why people can’t simply express their feelings.

Throughout the history of lovekind, we were given the idea that love is something which is out of this world. It has been a subject of endless poems and other literatures. Both give us an idea of what love is, but it doesn’t end there because we usually question the validity ff such definition.

William Shakespeare believes in love but most of his stories often involves conflict which is the “but” in love. Romeo and Juliet love each other but society demands the opposite. Paris loves Juliet but she loves Romeo. Romeo at first loves Rosaline but she is unreachable. These are just some of the “but” which Shakespear believes in when it comes to love.

So, the bottom line here is that, why love needs to be complicated? Can’t people just love and be happy? Why instead of saying, “I love you”, we usually say, “I love you but…”?

Why is it like that? Perhaps, even Doctor love couldn’t answer that.

As for me, love becomes complicated because we make it that way. We decide how to react on certain things which evolves on love. We are the one who chooses what feeling to share or not to share.

It’s nice to be in love, but watch out to the “buts” that surrounds this word. When love becomes painful, its time to let go but for some people, its the time to hold even tighter. Its your choice anyway:-)

The Path Heading to a Greater Happiness

0 comments Posted by Shanty Socialite

Last weekend I went to my home church in Pampanga, which for me is one of the happiest places on earth. I sing with people who have the same faith as I do, while jumping because of the joy brought by the praise songs. While I was there I considered making the following resolutions: to be happy, to relax and to see old friends. I was able to fulfill the last two resolutions. However, to be happy, on its real sense seems far from me.
People want happiness. It might be a cliche already but being happy has been the ultimate goal of everyone- it is the ultimate goal of my life.

I have been taught by my Pastor that happiness does not depend on whom you are with or what you have with- it’s a matter of choice. You are happy because you choose to be happy, and you are sad because you choose to be sad. Quite simple, but definitely hard to do.
Like in my situation, wherein I am torn between two paths. Both would lead me to happiness, but the question on which one would lead to a greater happiness remains a quest for me.
These thoughts were triggered more by a song I heard on a radio with the lyrics, “Do you know, where you are going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?…”

I have been thinking about the same questions for sometimes. Then I finally realize that I am still confused on which path should I walk into.

I decided to study Mass Communication to fulfill a vision. That vision is to work as an Advocate of a Christian organization who is fighting for women’s rights. A big company in Europe supported me on this journey. Right then, I said to myself that I am ready to play my role in that organization. But things do not happen the same way as we see it. The Christian organization was closed last year. At first, I am sad because that would mean, I do not have a “sure” job, as what I call it. But this journey should continue. I choose to see myself in another way- in a more broad area where I can see myself competing with other people looking for a job and exploring the world of media. Somehow, it gives excitement to me. I have fear, but the faith is more evident.

I am ready to step my feet on that uncertainty until the company who is supporting me offers me the same work as what I supposed to be working in that Christian organization. I am happy but I do not understand why I can not find that intense feeling inside of me.
The two choices leave me with confusion. Should I take the risk and do what I want, although I am not sure of what awaits to me? Or should I accept the job which my scholarship offers to me? Would it be ungrateful if I say no to them? But how about my freedom to choose?

Those were only some of the questions on my mind. But whatever choice I made, I know that at the end of the day…It would still lead me to happiness. Greater or lesser happiness?- that I still do not know
