Rinse. Repeat. Directions on how to use your shampoo. A vicious cycle. A lot like relationships. THE MEETING I'm not the type that would hook up with guys in a bar or coffee shops. I don't enjoy meeting random men as relationship prospects. Hence, my limited sphere of available men. I usually date those introduced by friends, networked through work or old acquaintances. You go through the awkward stage of finding out what you do, where you live and exchanging contact numbers. Conversation is sparse. Details are limited. Available schedules are determined. Attraction is a must. THE COURTSHIP Gone are the days of love letters and poetry. Nowadays, it's not even called courtship anymore. And entertaining what was then called suitors is now acceptable when done outside the family home. For friends of friends, a nice coffee date is the usual. Somewhere cozy, with not a lot of people, where the music is not so blaring for conversation to flow. Work related introductions are mostly preceded with lunch meetings or casu... http://princessabante.multiply.com/journal/item/101/Lather._Rinse._Repeat.

I'm not the easiest person to love I'm often the one who lets things go unresolved Yet you choose to be on the side of me Yeah, you choose to be on the side of me I'm not too proud of some things I've done in my life The skeletons in my closet are too big for me to hide Yet you choose to be on the side of me Blessed Charity, you're on the side of me Everyone needs a friend to hold When it's cold outside And there's no place to go Everyone needs a friend to hold All alone I cried There was no place to go I remember when nobody cared but you I'm not the easiest person to love But you, you've opened your heart To show me what I'm worth Cause you choose to be on the side of me What a mystery You're on the side of me I remember when nobody cared I remember when nobody cared Nobody cared But you You chose to be on the side of me On the side of me On The Side Of Me Corrine May Beautiful Seed http://princessabante.multiply.com/journal/item/99/On_The_Side_Of_Me Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:40:00 -0000 In Repair Too many shadows in my room Too many hours in this midnight Too many corners in my mind So much to do to set my heart right Oh it's taking so long. I could be wrong, I could be ready Oh but if I take my heart's advise I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair, I am in repair Stood on the corner for awhile To wait for the wind to blow down on me Hoping it takes with it my old ways And bring some brand new look upon me Oh it's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready Oh but if I take my heart's advise I should assume it's still unsteady I am in repair, I am in repair And now I'm walking in a park All the birds dance below me Maybe when things turn green again It will be good to say you know me Oh it's taking so long I could be wrong, I could be ready Oh but if I take my heart's advise I should assume it's still unsteady Oh I'm never really ready I'm never really ready I'm in repair I'm not together But I'm getting there Song by John Mayer http://princessabante.multiply.com/journal/item/97/In_Repair Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:37:00 -0000 Through My Jaded Eyes I was a romantic. I grew up reading fairy tales - of Prince Charming and living happily ever after. Of men crossing mountains and bodies of ocean to find that damsel in distress, fighting fire breathing dragons, climbing castles and saving her from the awful wicked witch. I believed in soul mates. That there's just one person for every one. That one man that would make your heart beat like you're in the Kentucky Derby. That one man that would turn your whole world around, beat all the odds and love you endlessly. I fantasize over movie story lines of My Best Friend's Wedding, A Lot Like Love and my favorite, How To Make An American Quilt. Then one day, my heart got broken. Unlike in the movies, after the long sleepless nights and crying over bottles of beer, the right one didn't come along and saved me from my sorrow. No redeeming scene. No happy ending. Not yet. After a series of heart breaks after another, the romantic in me died. Now it takes more than a flowing conversation over dinner to ... http://princessabante.multiply.com/journal/item/98/Through_My_Jaded_Eyes Sun, 8 Jun 2008 19:39:00 -0000 UST Civil Law 2008 http://princessabante.multiply.com/photos/album/54/UST_Civil_Law_2008 Wed, 28 May 2008 17:55:07 -0000 Taiwan Holiday Our family christmas holiday trip to Taiwan (minus Rita).

Healthy Lifestyle would include a balance diet, staying away from risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking, unprotected sex, violence, and getting into sports and positive activities. While taking care of our physical bodies is important, the mental health is most of the time neglected. Being sane all the time may not be as good as everyone would think. Every once in awhile it's good to let out the inner crazy in us and here's how: WAYS TO MAINTAIN A HEALTHY LEVEL OF INSANITY   1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hairdryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.   2. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.   3. Everytime someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.   4. Put your garbage can on your desk and labe... http://princessabante.multiply.com/journal/item/94/Maintaining_a_Healthy_Level_of_Insanity Thu, 19 Jul 2007 16:00:00 -0000 Paramita http://princessabante.multiply.com/music/item/41/Paramita Wed, 18 Jul 2007 23:39:28 -0000 Davao 2006 http://princessabante.multiply.com/photos/album/45/Davao_2006 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 07:07:23 -0000 ASK Ang Say ng Kabataan Saturday 10pm Replays on Sundays 2pm NBN http://princessabante.multiply.com/photos/album/44/ASK Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:40:25 -0000 UST Journalism 2000 Reunion June 29, 2007 Uncle Moe's Shawarma Hub City Golf, J.
