*sigh*

Last night I was observing how Jayson would chat to his mom because he seem to get whatever he wants and still be bestfriends with her. Mama and I cannot seem to end a conversation without hurting the other first. Consciously or unconsciously. Anyway, he was soooo good at convincing his mom. And I think I now know how to do the job...

1. You have to greet them first. This would create a good atmosphere that would hopefully last until the end of the conversation. (example: Hi ma, Kumusta?). It also help to divert the concern from your activity to theirs,thus there is no need to elaborate more on what you have done for the day.

2. If you want something, tell them what good it will do to you in general and make it appear like it's not a WANT but a NEED. This is really tricky because they know the difference, so think well and speak well. Hint: Parents usually give in if the concern is your comfort and grades.

3. Allow them to deliberate. Make it appear like they still have the last say. If they say NO, try still to persuade them while maintaining a low, morose, non-whining voice. (example: Pwede man sad pero...., Ok lang man sad pero mas maayo...)

4. If it still fails, compromise something, or make a deal. This usually works for the students. (ex: compromise a fraction of your allowance or promise that you will make it to the top the next semester), parents go high if you have proven yourself worthy and reliable for a deal in the past.

5. If it still doesn't work, try again the next time you talk. Either they are hard as stone, is concern about you, or they just want to see you whine so they can scold you again... but believe me, the key is to make them feel they are still in control and that their decision is the greatest/most important thing in the world for you. And that if they say NO, your happiness (no not your happiness, your grades) is at stake. Do not threaten them though, make it look like its fundamental for your progress and not for anything else.

Do not:

1. Shout at them.
2. Talk big.
3. Appear arrogant and all-knowing.
4. ok.. you get the picture. instead, do otherwise no matter how hurting it is already because whether you like it or not, we are dependent on them. yup! Just as my last entry said truth hurts.

Truth Hurts...

I thought I have the most unique, one of a kind, peculiar, bizarre, most extraordinary name in the planet... *whew* I mean who would ever name their child according to the month and time of the day they were born? Huh, tell me!!!? Except of course when their parents are just abnormally funny or they just smoked something after their poor baby has been born. Anyway, turns out mama and papa are not the only parents who named their child January Dawn, some idiots (not mama and papa, i have eventually learned to forgive their odd sense of humor) had given an end to my sense of identity after naming their child exactly the same as mine and inviting me to be their friend in friendster. What for? What do they want to tell me? That now i have to end my illusion of being the only girl with that name? I don't know.. I accepted the invitation anyway, just so I can see what that chick will look like 15-20 years from now. Oh well, truth hurts and I have to accept that bitter fact.

P.s. I'll see that girl in the future and punch her in her face if she stains the name... yeah, so you better take care of it.

majestic, charming Bohol

Need a place for honey moon?
Seeking for a solitary escapade?
Are you an EMO wanting a place to ventilate emotions?
Or simply a run-away who crave for another start?
Bohol is the place to be! *drumroll please*
OK cut!
Im not a tourist-guide-wanna-be here.. but Bohol is truly a paradise for the nature lovers, or lovers. period.

Ehem..ehem.. dahil sa pagtatagalog ng mga stewardess sa eroplanong aming sinakyan at dahil din sa blog ni Mikki na ako lang ang nag-iisang follower (na sobrang ikinatutuwa nya), pipilitin kong magtagalog sa mga sumusunod na linya)


Kung ang balak mo ay magtago sa mga nautangan mo, o kung ang pangalan mo ay Ray. Dito ka sa "Hinagdanan Cave" pumunta. Walang makakakita sa iyo dahil ang kadiliman dito ay mapupunuan ng maitim mong budhiOh look! ang dami pa lang nakatagong bangkay dito! hanapin natin kay Ray!


Kung kayo naman ay bagong kasal at gustong lasapin ang panahong nagmamahalan kayo at hindi pa nagtatapunan ng plato, baso, kutsilyo atbp... dito kayo pumunta sa.. *nag-iisip ako* nakalimutan ko.. basta hotel ito sa Luway malapit dito ang Loboc river.. pwede kayo dun kumain habang namamangka.. kung nag-away kayo sa honeymoon stage pa lang.. maaaring itapon ang kapareha sa ilog nang malunod o kaya ay para makakain si kaibigan buwaya
Ito naman ang mangrove site. Buti pa dito sa Bohol.. hindi inaanod ng mga "waves" ang mga maliliit na mangroves tulad sa nangyayari "kuno" sa Davao... 60% daw ang mortality rate nila dahil sa environmental causes, sa tingin ko di lang talaga ito naalagaan ng mabuti.. marami sanang perang nakalaan para dito idagdag pa ang tulong ng ibat-ibang organisasyon...hahay...
Hindi siya instik na tarsier, malaki talaga ang mata nito... natutulog pa kasi siya.. ssshhhh...
Sa labas ng Baklayon Church. malalaking simbahan ang makikita mo sa Bohol.. Nakakalula, gusto mo na tuloy magpakasal kahit na wala ka pang boyfriend
last na to.. pagod na ako.. pumunta na lang kayo dun. bleh!^^,

girls are from venus, some guys are created for hell

Darn it! I’ve got to update my blog this time... Mikki has just made another entry and Meloi has been bugging me for another garbage. I don’t really know what to write since the week has gone by with girlfriends coiling comfortably on my bed seeking consolation on their morose mood due to ofcourse...Tadah! you got it!...BOYS.

Aaahhhhh… Boys. Such adorable creatures with natural horns on their anatomy. I’m not actually trying to stereotype these charming sometimes nauseating mammals but what your kind has done to my precious girls is unforgivable. Yup! You friendster and myspace guys/gays, I swear I’ll rip your heads off if I will ever get the chance to meet you! For Ray… I’m not gonna do that to you, you’re pretty special for that. I’m gonna make you a dartboard with bees stinging you’re big ugly face. Hope you get anaphylactic shock and die with you’re eyes sore~! photo from here

Ooops! I think the picture got a little overboard.. Oh well. You deserve it

Hey! Bestfriend! Stop reading this… This is not for you… ^^

Darn again! Why can’t this cheap radio station play another song aside from proclaimed "theme song" of Katrina Halili and Hayden camera Kho? Now couples wont be able to dance to the erotic rhythm of careless whisper because of that careless sex scandal.
