  1. Do you believe that certain things happen to you for a reason? That sometimes a certain sequence of events happen that bring to you a certain situation you never expected? Do you believe that there are people you are supposed to meet sometime in your life?

     

    Personally I do. But a friend of mine tells me: Nah, it's just your mind making a justification out of all the things that happen to you to keep you from going insane.

     

    What do you guys think?

     

    These questions are things that are pondered in "The Matrix" series. The question of "certain things happen to you for a reason" is another way of saying that we were meant to do something in this life, and that is why we are here. To this, Agent Smith has this to say: "But, as you well know, appearances can be deceiving, which brings me back to the reason why we're here. We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist."

     

    As to a certain sequence of events happen to bring to you a certain situation, this is nothing but "causality". These are the words of the Merovingian: "You see, there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect... We are all victims of causality... Choice is an illusion created between those with power and those without."

     

    And whether I believe there are people you are supposed to meet sometime in your life, I would take the wisdom of Morpheus: "What happened, happened and couldn't have happened any other way."

  2. Mayweather may be better than Manny, but the probability (however small) of losing to the latter scare the s@%t out of him...

     

    I agree. The fear of losing and giving up the claim to fame of being an undefeated boxer is what stops Mayweather from fighting Pacquiao. But then again, this says that he values pride more than money because everyone knows that a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will make it rain.

  3. You're globe number is only two weeks old and you already have lots of spam from real estate agents, etc.? I thought I had so much spam because my number's almost 10 years old. So getting spam messages has got nothing to do with how old your number is after all.

     

    I wonder why Globe doesn't do anything to stop or at least filter all these spam. Unless of course, Globe does business with these companies. In exchange for providing globe numbers to these companies, these companies pay Globe some sort of fee.

     

    I also have a Smart number but I do not get any spam on that network. So the only conclusion I can draw is that Globe is behind this irritating practice.

     

    I also get these spam from real estate agents in my Globe line. This is the downside of the unlimited text promos. It costs little to spam or troll subscribers.

  4. 1. He thinks thrice before he speaks. Or he doesn't speak at all after judging from the "feel" of the current situation that speaking will do no good.

     

    2. Very sensitive and quite keen to detail. Example: He knows that the coffee may now taste bland after the ice melted so he'll either add a little sugar or add more sweetened coffee for the balanced bitter-sweet caffeine drink. He does this without you even requesting. You yourself barely noticed the coffee. :)

     

    3. Hears your response "Okay lang" as "How about something else?" if asked if you want to dine in this restaurant.

     

    4. Gives you space but keeps an eye on you without you noticing. He still knows what you're up to. Creepy but sweet and sexy at the same time (I don't know. Thats how I find it)

     

    5. He holds his urges very well. You don't see a hint of uncontrolled ballistic libido. He remains very gentle even in private.

     

    6. He somehow mastered the language of the Venusians. :)

     

    As I noticed, younger men usually lack these characteristics. Perhaps, with respect to time, it really takes a while to acquire these skills or whatever you call these. However, I would like to believe that relevant to time, it requires quality experience (how you interpret it, I will leave it to you :) ) But above everything else, I guess, it requires conscious effort to see what relationships teach you regardless of length of time.

     

    This sounds like a dude that has a lot of battle scars from previous conquests in Venus. tongue.gif It is not so much the age of a man that determines his maturity; it is his experience with relationships.

     

    1. Yes, only an experienced man will know that women don't argue based on logic, and it is futile to reason with a woman. So might as well shut it. Also, an experienced man knows that a woman can easily misinterpret what a man says (no matter how literal and simple his statement is). Therefore, he must be careful and deliberate with the words that he utters.

     

    2. An experienced man is more sensitive because he has learned to appreciate the value of small acts of service and a bit of words of affirmation to a woman. As a young man I wasted energy coming up with a big surprise or a huge romantic gesture. But in truth, women value a small surprise as much as a big one, if not more. A rose given randomly a month in a year would actually carry more weight than a dozen roses given on a special occasion.

     

    3. Even a young man knows that the "ok lang" of a woman means something else. That whenever she says "nothing's wrong" whenever she throws a b*tch fit means something's so wrong. But it takes a mature man to actually set aside his irritation to this type of mind game the woman is playing and to just actually tend to her needs.

     

    4. Now this one takes a master! To make it appear that you are doing something for the woman's benefit when it fact it also benefits you. "Space" is something a man needs much more than a woman does. That's why dudes have "man caves": the ultimate space. When a dude says he's giving you space, then most likely it's to give him space. Unless he's the creepy overly-attached jealous type of guy.

     

    5. I think older men can hold their urges more not because of maturity, but more because the hormones are no longer surging in the body. The "urge" is no different from hunger, sleepiness, etc. It's triggered by some chemical released in our bodies. The less of its pumping, then the more in control we are.

     

    6. For all the guys out there, that crazy book that coined the "Venusians" bit is a must read. It makes sensible the senselessness of the actuations of women. Had I read it when I was younger, my first relationship would have survived.

  5. Ako magpapa-kiss on the first date! laugh.gif

     

    But as to whether I would attempt to kiss my date after the first time we go out? If she's someone I just met, then probably not. But if she's someone I already know and started to date because we both feel that we could be more than friends, then definitely.

  6. Same here. That's why I pulled out my ex gf from the spa where she worked. Unfortunately naghiwalay din kami.

     

    Onga. I think this should be a man's priority when deciding to have a serious relationship with a thera. This should make it easier for both of you, in terms of trust and other things. Although I can imagine it being financially difficult for the guy at first. But hey, if you end up getting married it's pretty much the same anyway.

  7. Haha. And I'm actually hoping to meet a woman who will understand and say: "ok lang yan, basta sa akin sya umuuwi." wink.gif

    HI Fil, you seem to have shared your thoughts pretty well. As much as I'm certain that this stamement of yours shakes the hopes of our women a little (lol), I can't help but admire how much you know yourself and how you acknowledge your being human.
