The Man From La Mancha

Have any of us dreamed the impossible dream? The Philippine Presidential Election is fast approaching. But then, was there any change that happened in the country? That makes me simply wonder, did people ever think change has to come from within? And if we want change, did we ever try doing anything about it?

Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino has died saying "The Filipino is worth dying for." while his wife, the late President Corazon "Cory" Aquino has said "The Filipino is worth living for." These statements make me think, are we Filipino people willing to do our part in helping our country improve? Are we willing to take the chance of REALLY exercising our rights? Or we would simply obey those who are empowered by us? How far are we willing to take?

Read the story of Don Quixote and one would know, though st times it is considered as insanity, one has to dream the impossible dream and one has to make a move pertaining this dream.

Here are links for your easier reading:

Enjoy reading and discovering the adventures and learnings of Don Quixote, and hopefully it can help you on your resolve pertaining the Philippines' current political status.

Tips on Men III

1. Always have your own set of friends separate from his.

2. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you speak up.

3. Like from the show Sex and the City, if he doesn’t call, he just isn’t that interested.

4. Be honest and upfront.

5. Know when to cut the cord, don’t be strung along.

6. Don’t fall for the “I’m confuse role”. Remove yourself from the situation to let him figure things out (but don’t wait for him, move on).\

7. If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family (not just his mom).

8. There’s more than physical abuse, there’s emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of them… flee.

9. You cannot change a man’s behaviors. Change comes from within.

10. Don’t let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow himself—double-standard.

Tips on Men II

Here is the next ten of the 45-item list pertaining men. I hope women will find these tips useful in their ever-challenging game of wit and heart with the men of their choice! Good luck!

1. Don’t settle.

2. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.

3. If he keeps changing his mind about the relationship—take that as a BIG sign that he is unstable. Do you really want to be with a man like that?

4. Don’t stay because you think “it will get better.” You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.

5. Honorable men take care of their business and aren’t involved in a whole lot of mess.

6. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.

7. There’s only one ‘reason’ a man dumps you; he doesn’t want you.

8. Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?

9. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince.

10. Always put yourself and your happiness first.


The next 10 tips are coming out soon... see you then!

Useful Tips on Men I

Back in 2006, my sister Dincoy had sent me a whole bunch of reading materials. Today I am posting one of the articles that left an imprint on me. I wish to share it especially to the single ladies who are very "busy" trying to figure out how they are going to meet the man of their life. That someone who would make them the number 1 person in his life.

I wish this article would help you single ladies (even the married ones, I think can somehow get wisdom from this). There 45 suggestions given, today I am posting the first ten. I would post the rest soon. :-)


1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
2. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a man’s character, leave him alone.
4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that’s not meant to be.
6. Don’t force an attraction.
7. Slower is better.
8. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you happy.
9. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no you can’t “be friends.” A friend wouldn’t mistreat a friend.
10. Learn to give up your lifelong task of trying to make someone change.

'til the next post!

Iliad the Movie (TROY)

I always love the scene when Priam asked for Hector's body. It tells every viewer that a father will always be a father even if he appears to be very strict and hard on his children at times.

No man would ever bring himself to his knees except our parents, the most sacrificial people on earth whose sacrifices are always overlooked. Here is the scene between Priam and Achilles (this is downloaded from youtube) after viewing this, can you still tell yourself our father is not great?



And how about you, what was the movie scene that left an imprint in you?
