Differentiate or Die by Jack Trout, Steve Rivkin

Andrea. Last A girl's name syndrome.

Thing is, there are times when He does, and times when He doesn't. Apart from that, in the times when He does, he might also do it differently or give it to you in a different way. One thing for sure, is that He always has a plan and when He does move to answer your prayers...you better be prepared to wait - it can take time.

More than those, be thankful for the stuff you don't ask for but are given to you.

Apart from stuff mentioned above...

-Presence of mind

-Street smarts

-A general direction for the day

-Humour

-Respect

Push ups, Pull-ups and planks. Looking forward to hitting them regularly along with running again once I settle in my work-commute schedule.

I'd like to carry a nice conversation as much as possible. I'd really like good, long, talks - deep or shallow man. I'm usually shy and quiet, but if the time is good i think i can deliver. I mean, I hope I do.

Tasty mami please.

Ang tagal na nawawala puso ko eh.

Salamat, nakuha mo pala.

You can also try going for startups, then giving it your professional best. You never know when a small business will suddenly go boom, and being a pioneer when it does can have its merits. Give it a year and if you don't like it, you now have the experience to move somewhere you want to be.

Based on my experience, bottom line is: Diesel for efficiency/practicality, gasoline for fun. Diesels are perfect for city/daily life since they're generally easier to drive, are more efficient, and they can haul loads. Bang for the buck, ika nga.

There's diesel cars that can let you have fun (i.e. Accent diesel, Focus TDCi, BMW 1-series/3-series -d series or Audi diesels), but an equal, proper, gasoline-powered car is still hard to beat when it comes to fun, especially for sports cars.

If only...

I could think of something to say. Sorry!

Oh look...stars!

You're way, way up above me but how come I find myself falling for you????

Ang matamis na approval ng thesis defense panel, plus years as an irregular, and the many many younger classmates that you get to work with every sem.

Hmm, other than that...working a few weeks in a classmate's house with overnights for subject material. With a group. Of nine. With me being the only guy.

The ability and freedom to choose for yourself what your life is to be all about, and to live out your life being all that you can be.

A nice, senseless, pointless, yet fun, chat with an old friend. That plus a nice glass of red wine at home with good music playing on good headphones.

1.) A toolbox with basic tire change tools, a spare tire, a jack, socket wrenches with ones for spark plugs, extra spark plugs, wrenches.

2.) Copies of the keys and papers for the car(s).

3.) A good support system of friends or a tow truck/wrecker on speed dial/phonebook.

4.) Gas or the money to buy it.

5.) A cool head, a lot of respect, smarts and common sense on the road.

I always found it striking when a lady pulls her hair back into a ponytail and sports an A-game face, plus a half smile, when she wants something done. Definite yes if she's wearing a black tank top (never yet seen, though). My oh my.

Apart from that, ladies who are not afraid to get down and dirty when needed, then tidying and getting back to being and looking smart in a heartbeat.

The chorus of Manic Monday keeps playing in my head, but if not that, it's probably Someone by the Rembrandts.

It depends on how angry I feel. I'm a non-confrontational person. If it's frustration I just find myself cursing multiple times until it goes away. If I find myself pissed, I usually find a closed room, shout, breathe, curse again and then probably punch the object closest to me (or the object of my frustration if it's not a person) as many times until the anger boils down. I'll usually still have some anger or frustration left, as I'll start talking and responding in a matter-of-fact mode, and a deadpan look, but at least I can make conscious decisions that think I can control na. If I can't yet, I will avoid all human and animal contact until I feel like I can.

I don't think I have been really, really mad, yet, I just somehow always choose to find a way to add another bar to my patience afterwards. I don't think I'll want to reach that point even if it hurts.

I remember best three speeches/scenes from movies:

-Rocky's from Rocky IV

-Drunken drifter's speech from Team America ("D***s, P*****s, and A******s")

-Charlie Chaplin's from The Great Dictator

Too long to write them down, but I think all are on YouTube.

Cartel - Wasted

happiest sad song I currently know

Quite a bit by the end of the day...saw a movie I always wanted to watch, but then afterwards, ran right into an old friend from high school. She was waiting for her sundo, but upon us recognizing each other she greeted me then pulled me right into the nearest 711 (gutom na pala kakaantay) and thus had dinner. Really fun catching up, and my oh my has she grown.

I guess I'll have a real nice smile for a good while.
