i guess logic goes out of the window when emotions takes over. well just go slowly and time will tell if you are right for each other. seeing her a few hours every week is really not enough time to get to know a person inside out. took me more than 5yrs to get to know my ex and it was too late anymore to do anything about it children and all.

its a rude awakening to find out things are not what they seem to say the least.

Here here! The most stupid thing you can say to rationalize this all is "it takes someone who understands from the heart...... blah blah effin blah!". First of all, you do not use your heart to understand, you only use it to feel. You understand with your mind with what your hearts feels. Kung puro ka puso at puson, dyan ka mapapahamak lalo. Actually, any person who has gone through several relationships should know this. Mga taong walang emotional maturity lang ang gagawa ng puro lang "understand from the heart" na kalokohan na yan.

Tama ka din, hindi naman kasi parang rom-com o soap opera ang totoong mundo na laging may happy ending sa huli. In the real world even the best love stories do not always have happy endings.

Honestly I don't believe that she went to VIP only a few times especially that she was in the top 10. But thats not important if she is willing to change. The question here is who are she financially supporting? What kind of lifestyle she has when she still earns a lot? Sigurado hahanap hanapin nya yan. Whats your age difference? Kids? Siguro live-in muna kayo then see how it goes but remember, don't invest too much emotions. Pag nalaman mo na may ka VIP siya, how would you react? Alangan naman nag kwentuhan lang sila like you did. They have different intentions to pay the VIP room. Nasa honeymoon stage pa kayo and you still don't know the bad side of each other. Pag lumabas na yan and okay pa kayo then GO. Good luck bro with your relationships. Your in a low % success rate group but it does happens.

I concur with this. Hindi sapat ang pagiging masaya para pagbasehan ng tama o maling desisyon. Alam naman natin na kapag masaya tao, nagiging malabo na ang linya sa pagitan ng tama at mali. In fact walang mali lahat tama. Kahit hindi ka na nga nagiging patas sa sarili mo, ok lang kasi masaya ka naman. Tapos pag nagkanda sabit sabit na lahat saka mo mararamdaman yung matinding sakit.

As to researching about the girls past, ito personal perspective ko. Mas maganda kasi na alam mo lahat lahat ng maruruming detalye ng nakaraan nya, para isang araw hindi na lang ito basta na lang susulpot at sisirain maganda nyong relasyon. Its hard to have a relationship with someone who keeps skeletons in their closet

I agree. The standards for recruitment are a bit low. Raise the standards and see an improvement in the way traffic is managed. But aside from ability to perform a job, there is also a need to hire men and women of integrity. People who place the interests of the motoring public over their own interests.

 

This applies to the MMDA as well as Malacanang itself.

 

Ang nakita lang kasi dun sa nangyari kay Carabuena at kay Fabros ay tunggalian ng eletista vs mahirap. Isang nakavolvo at mayabang na atenista, inupakan ang isang pobreng MMDA officer. Ang hindi nakita ng lahat, ay kung gaano ka underqualified ang mga nagpapatupad ng batas trapiko satin. Kung nangyari yun sa isang enforcer ibig lang sabihin nun wala syang silbi! Incompetent ibig sabihin. Papano ka magpapatupad ng batas trapiko kung di mo kaya panindigan autoridad mo at ni hindi ka na nga nirerespeto, nasapok ka pa?

Sa mga first world na bansa, very professional ang mga autoridad. May pinagralan, at higit sa lahat may training. Magalang sila sa kahit na kaninong motorista pero assertive, i.e. "sir please keep your hands on the wheel, I will have to ask you to step out of your vehicle etc". They will respect your rights, but if you fcuk around they will pin your ass to the ground. Or spray pepper on your eyeballs. Alam nila gagawin pag medyo lasing motorista o mas malaki sa kanila.

Satin tignan mo naman ang mga enforcers na yan. May alam ba talaga yan sa batas trapiko? Baka naman mauutal utal yan pag nagumpisa ka na magenglish sa kanila.m

If you want respect, be respectable.

Partly I agree, but at the same time, who are we to cast stone. Pareho namang makasalanan yung nagbebenta ng laman at yung bumibili nito. At kung di ka pa din bumibili, wala pa din tayo karapatan magpukol ng bato. Kasi makasalanan din tayo sa ibang paraan. Nonetheless, I agree na hindi worth glorifying ang ganitong trabaho para sa isang babae. Kung gusto mo mabuhay ng marangal, maraming paraan.

If ypu want validation, make valid points.

Yes definitely. Saying that "you have to understand from the heart" is hardly a valid point. You only feel with your heart, but understand with you mind.

If you want an easy lay, you know what thread to read in order to find it.

If you"re looking for love, better look elsewhere or lose everything you have to these " W"s.😂

Whole-heartedly agree. Love and relationships need to be built and nurtured under the right circumstances and reasons. It should be given enough time and space to grow naturally. Its hard to imagine like this happening when unang una, hindi mo naman nakakahalubilo yung babae sa labas ng trabaho nya. Im sure meron din mga patakaran mga establishments sa mga ganito. Pangalawa, laging may kelangan magbayad para magkasama kayo. Pano kung walang perang involved? Makikipagkita pa ba sayo yung babae?

OO naman! Maning mani ang 1 month. Kahit nga 1 year pa eh.

When I was in an LDR nakaya ko naman, pano busy din naman kasi sa trabaho

Now that I am single again, I havent warmed my bed with any woman for over a year now. But I am holding on naman. Di naman ako nababaliw. Ang key lang naman dyan is plenty of exercise dapat at active lifestyle. Para nagagamit mo yung testosterone surge mo at di naiipon tapos sa ibang paraan gagamitin pagpaparaos.

When it comes to sex, its always better to have quality than quantity. At least for me thats how it works lol

Marami talagangan matatamaan pag hindi ka medyo political sa mga terms na ginagamit mo. One thing I noticed sa thread na ito, marami lalong lalo na yung mga lalake dito na nahuhumaling ang nagiging balat sibuyas pag nagagamit ang salitang "whore", put@tsing, p0kpok, etc. Sila kasi sa honest observation ko lang, naghahanap sila ng validation na tama sila. In other words they come to this thread to find people who will agree with them, or violently argue those who disagree with them.

Hmmmmm lets resolve it this way.

Kahit naman mga hardened criminal na bilanggo, you still wanna treat them with a bit of dignity. So Ganun na lang siguro. Huwag naman masyado apakan itong mga taong ito, dahil kahit papano tao din naman sila kagaya natin. Di naman kelangan sobrang maliitin ang kapwa to get the point across di ba?

At the same time

Huwag masyadong balat sibuyas, lets argue with civility ng konti. Maging realistic sana tayo kahit papano. Yes I will try my best to give this women a bit of dignity as much as I can. Pero una, Kung gusto mo maghanap buhay ng marangal, it never is one way. Kung gusto mo din umalis dyan, ialis mo sarili mo at huwag umasa sa prince charming na gagawa nyan in exchange for your heart. And be fair! Sabi ko nga, pag nagmamahal ka, mahalin mo muna sarili mo dapat. Bakit ka papayag na yung babaeng gusto mo bigyan ng pagmamahal eh hahawakan ng ibang lalake dyan. Maimagine mo ba yun?

It's a matter of implementing the law. Even if such laws are passed, it all boils down to implementation. If the traffic enforcer prefers to collect "tong" from erring PUV drivers then nothing will change.

Pwede bang taasan naman requirements sa mga MMDA enforcer natin? Sana naman nakapagaral man lang para respetuhin ng mga motorista. Hindi yung pang nagENglish na matataranta na lang bigla yan sila at mabubulol. ISa pa duda nga ako kung alam ng mga yan ginagawa nila dyan eh. Para ngang ni hindi nakahawak ito ng manibela. Huli sa lahat, dapat may physical training ang mga yan. Yung kaya naman kahit papano makasuntok kung kinakailangan.

Tignan nyo yung nangyari kay Carabuena at Kay Fabros, hindi man lang ginalang yung autoridad nung enforcer. Pano bukod sa halatang mahirap, patpatin pa. Eh ang laking damulag na naka volvo pa yung nakaharap. Lagut tuloy.

I wont go as far as saying Prostitutes or women in the trade are evil people. They are not as evil as cut-throat-murderers and corrupt bureaucrats are, ill give them that. Tama naman, they are still human beings na may karapatan din na mahalin at magmahal.

Pero lets be realistic

Kung gusto mo maghanap buhay ng marangal, maraming paraan dyan. I know mahirap, and siguro nga hindi ko naiintindihan kasi kahit papano maswerte pa naman ako. Nonetheless, this is not really an excuse. Pero sige andyan na naman ya. Pinasok na nila yan. They did what they thought they had to. Nga lang, tama yung sinabi ng isa dito na life is not a fairy tale ending all the time eh. Kung mananatili ka sa trabahong ganyan, eh huwag papasok sa relasyon. Kung gusto mo pumasok sa relasyon, eh di alisin mo sarili mo dyan. You can't have one and the other.

And lets be honest here, a lot of guys na nandito kasi gusto ng validation. Komo MTC naghahanap ng mga post na mag-a-amen ng mag-a-amen na lang lagi sa gusto nila mangyari. Tama nga sabi ng isa dito. Huwag kasi puro MP at KTV inaatupag. SOcialize din sa mga babaeng nasa labas ng mga industryang yan.

+99

it all comes down to reality, get a life outside, wag sanayin ang sarili sa mga bayaran like clubs, mps at spas.

try mo pag wla k pera, ni isa walang papansin sayo jan. kahit pangit bsta may matinong trabaho e nkakahanap ng matino at may itsurang babae.

ask urself? u want to be with someone na isang bayaran for d rest of ur life? "hi mom n dad, hello frends n colleagues, shes my wife, ymmv yan, dating p#ta pero nagbago na"...

dis is not a fairytale or a movie. its reality!

Hehehehe, aruuuuuuuuy! Marami kang matatamaan dito sa sinabi mong ito, pero wala tayong magagawa, masaklap na sampal sa iba ang katotohanan. I remember one idiot in this thread who held so much resentment on the things that I said. Lumabas pang white knight ng mga attendants at MPA. He claims mas marami daw syang naiintindihan at nalalaman kasi "matagal na sya sa industya". Madalas daw kasi nagbabad sa mga MP at KTV lol. And Im like isa ba itong bagay na dapat ipagmalaki? Seryoso? Pinagmalaki pa na puros GRO at MP nya ginagastos oras at pera? Lol.

Hindi tayo nagmamalinis dito, pero una, lahat ng sobra eh masama. Pangalawa, papano lalawak ang perspective at wisdom mo kung laging puro yung mga kelangan bayaran ka lang nakakadevelop ng intimacy? Tama ka with most of what you said.

Unless one of the criteria in jury selection is the requirement of having a college degree. The prospective juror must also be a tax-paying citizen and a certified member of the bar. I believe law graduates would know what constitutes evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that non-lawyers may not be familiar with.

Kung lahat siguro may law degree pwede. Pero tingin ko marami pa din considerations ito. Like may resources ba gobyerno natin para bigyan ng protection jury members? Pano kung tipong mga tulad ng ampatuan ang nasasakdal? Mahabang pagiisip kelangan dito.

Ma-OFF topic lang

Dear Moderators

Its about time to start some new threads in this section. Ang daming current events ang nangyayari that deserve their own threads. Some of the topics still existing here are becoming obsolete

1. the VP should be Senate President

Cant be! Wala na tayong separation of powers nyan kung ang executive branch papakialaman trabaho ng legislative branch

7. lets have a jury instead of a single judge in deciding a case

Uh no! no no no! Very bad Idea. I would rather have one expert of the law weighing evidences merits and testimony according to the rules, that a panel of common people who watch too much soap opera and are brainwashed by kapuso kapamilya. Madaming makukulong lang na inosente pag nagkataon

Very good observations. For me, however, I think it's all about creating a law exempting land owners whose lands are infested with squatters, from paying realty taxes. Imagine a city where much of the land is squatter infested. Think of how much city governments stand to lose in terms of revenue which would have been generated if only the land owner had only paid his realty taxes. Each landlord that is exempted from paying realty taxes translates to revenue loss for the local government.

 

Such a law will entice local governments to evict squatters at their own expense. This is fair because the local government has a responsibility to protect landlords in exchange for the taxes landlords pay to the local government.

Hmmmm could work yeah, pero 2 things.

1. Marami pa din yan silang mapagkukunan ng pagnanakawan kahit pa maghirap syudad nila. Case in point, ang mga ampatuan sa maguindanao

2. Mas gusto ko talaga na ituring na criminal offense ang squatting. Like I said the stick is better than a carrot. Habang lalo mo silang bini-baby hindi yan sila matututo na tulungan mga sarili nila. Dapat alam nila na hindi sila kukunsintihin ng gobyerno sa kalokohan nila. Kahit naman bigyan mo yan sila tig-i-isang bahay at isang milyon, in time magiging mahirap pa din sila. Kung makakausap mo mga taong ito you will understand why.

Hangang HS lang

I am with most guys here that squatting should be criminalized.

Squatting = Stealing.

Subukan mo makisampay ng labada mo sa kapitbahay mo, magiging away na yan. Agawin mo pa kaya lupa at tayuan ng bahay? And being poor is not an excuse. As a human being it is your OWN obligation to provide yourself with a decent shelter. Sila na nga itong nagnanakaw, sila pa itong may gana magalit na sila naapi. Eh kung ikaw yung may ari ng lupa? Ang laking perwisyo nyan sayo. Gagastos ka sa korte, magaantay ka ng mahabang proseso para maging legal pagpapaalis. At kung mamalasmalasin ka, haharangin pa yan ng LGU kasi mga botante nila yan. Imbes sana napakinabangan lupa mo at nakapagbigay karagdagang buwis at trabaho, ginawa lang balwarte ng mga mayor at konsehal.

Bukod pa dyan

1. Nagiging pugad ng mga criminal ang squatters area. Breeding ground pa. Pag tumakbo at naglungga na sa mga squatters area mga holdupper, kahit pulis hirap na pasukin yung lugar

2. Nagiging talamak dyan pagnanakaw ng kuryente, na pagmumulan ng sunod, tapos madadamay pa mga katabing establishments at bahay na lehitimo

3. Palengke din yan ng botante. Mura din dyan mamakyaw ng boto. Konting supot lang, mananalo na lagi ikaw at pamilya mo sa bawat pwesto na tatakbuhan mo

At higit sa lahat

Ang dami dami dyan nagpapakahirap umutang sa pag-ibig, and dami dyan nagkakandakuba maghulog sa bahay, tapos komo lang informal settler ka kelangan i-baby ka ng gobyerno?

This is one of those issues where you use a stick instead of a carrot. Kaya namimihasa yan at di na tinutulungan. Bigyan mo ng pabahay, bebenta lang tapos squat ulit. Pero kung alam nila pwede silang makulong dahil dyan, mas lalatayin mo yan sila para magtrabaho

If it doesn't happen in 2015, it will no longer be a possibility.

 

But Mayweather will have an asterisk in his resume (as the champion who never defeated the true champion)

Come on! In the last decade sino ba nilabanan ni Mayweather na hindi champion? Lahat naman sila either belt holder or dati ng champion pa. Lahat nagsasabi na takot sya kay Canelo, at di daw ito lalabanan. Pero sya pa nagbigay una nitong talo.

I dont think si Mayweather lagi may kasalanan kung bakit di natutuloy itong laban na ito. Ang like I said, many wanna assue matatalo sya ni Manny, pero nakita naman natin ngayon kung ano kahinaan sa style ni manny.

I keep repeating the question which nobody has given an answer so far. If Manny is gonna beat floyd, tell us exactly how. Give your fight analysis.

yung mahilig mag glutathione.

Hahahaha! OO tawa ako ng tawa dito! Bat ba napakaobsessed natin sa pagpapaputi. Pero pag nagsasalita na si Lucy Liu na ayaw nya maarawan kasi magmumukha syag pilipino ang daming napipikon

Hindi ako masyado marunong sa basketball ha

Pero ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganito. Na tipong wala pa ngang ni isang minutong experience as a professional basketball player, di lang ginawang player, coach pa talaga. Eh hindi naman interbarangay tournament ito. lol. Kahit siguro ang Blue Eagles hindi kukunin ang isang coach na wala man lang isang championship experience.

Sa utak siguro ni manny, he is only gonna live once so he will try to do as much and get as much out of life. And why not? He is the biggest celebrity sa pilipinas, he has the resources, he can always get enough people to be interested in what he is doing be it singing, acting, politics, or being a basketball player.

Pero ito, hahayaan ko na. Basketball lang naman ito. Mas inaalala ko yung pagiging congressman nya. As usual, sya nanaman may pinakamaraming absent sa congresso. We have a trapo in the making right here.

Hay naku manny, kung sawa ka na sa mga ginagawa mo, subukan mo na din kaya maging pornostar. Lubuslubusin mo na

Hmmm para maiba naman

Foreign

Nicolas Cage- not because he is a douchebag but because he just has to accept every movie role offered to him. For someone who used to make good films and even was once upon a time a box office draw, he is becoming really more and more tasteless

Steven Seagal- Fat assh*le who runs like a girl

Shia LeBouf- Mr. No no no no noooooooooooo

Binigay sa magulang ng buong buo

Crab Mentality, palibhasa maingitin

Kapag nabanggit mo sa kwentuhan na mas maganda buhay mo sa kanila, kahit pa sila naman mismo nagtatanong kung ano trabaho mo, bigla na lang may isang magsasabi na "Ay ang yabang naman nito".

Typical ugaling pinoy ito. Basta mas maganda sahod, bahay, sasakyan, travel experience kesa sa iyo = Mayabang na yung tao.

Nung nasa abroad ako, yung mga kasama kong dayuhan madalas din naman sila magkwentuhan ng travel experiences nila kung saan saan. Meron nga hangang Galapagos island o carribean cruise pa! Pero wala naman naiirita sa crowd pag ganun na pinaguusapan. Wala naman nayayabangan.

Ito ang magandang halimbawa talaga ng crab mentality at inggit. Wala naman intensyon yung tao mag-angat ng sariling bangko. Ine-express nya lang naman sarili nya. Nagkwekwento tungkol sa buhay at karanasan nya. Anong mayabang dun sa kung ganun naman talaga sya? At ang nakakatawa yung taong nagsasabi ng "mayabang" kadalasan ay taong hindi kaya pantayan yung sinasabihan nyang mayabang. SO obviously inggit lang talaga ito.

Don't stop aiming for higher! Make that your goal right after you graduate if you really wanna be successful.

Invest on postgrad if you have to! Its a worthy investment. Aside from adding up more credentials to your resume, it also gives you a title which you can carry throughout your life.

Nung ito ang binigay kong advice sa isa kong kakilala ang sagot ba naman "ay ewan ayoko na bumalik nanaman sa eskwela!". Eh papano aasenso kung ganyan ang ugali?

Eto ang mantra na lagi kong dinala

Losers will always settle for contentment, for what is easy and convenient, and then spend the rest of their lives sour graping.... Or worse hating on those people who have more than what them. Winners are the people who dont mind putting in the hours, the sacrifice, and hard hard work to fulfill something

Postgrad is always a good investment. Aside from giving you more credentials in your resume, its also good na nadadagdagan pa karunungan mo. Knowledge is wealth ika nga. Kung sa katawan natin namumuhunan tayo sa gym, bakit naman hindi sa postgrad di ba?

better change trainer...

 

Donaire accepted na hindi sya talaga mananalo sa mga boxer na tulad ni Walters

 

better step his game up sa level ni Pacquiao

First of all, Pacquiao and Donaire are two very different fighters. They have different anatomies, they have different stances, and surely they have different fighting styles. What works for Pacquiao does not necessarily mean will work for Donaire, so saying he should step up to the game level of Pacquiao is just lame

Second, Walters is in fact a puncher. Rigondeaux is the precision boxer. Donaire lost to both. I think one valid criticism that can be made about his fighting career is that he fought guys who had to come up in weight, or whom he had superior reach advantage over. Not that its necessarily Donaires fault, but Walters was his size and could bang really hard.

Third, changing trainers wont help him much. Hindi naman si Robert Garcia ang umaakyat sa ring. Donaire fights the way he does, thats simply it. He simply met a match that neutralized his and it is what it is.
