just quit august last year, but not totally. i still smoke sometimes especially when i'm bored or during trade shows or business activities. other than that i don't smoke or at least just socially. i have managed to control my urges or cravings to light up.

quitting is no walk in the park, i had to out of the country just to quit

but the trick is for you to be firm with yourself. also and more importantly don't stay with people who smoke, it is easier if all your companions don't smoke at all that way you will be somewhat embarrassed to light up.

i know it's hard to quit if your environment will just tempt you to keep on smoking. so just change your environment.

oh and chewing gum really does help.

the difference is that the steak is put on the plate from the grill and the cooking process is halted so that the steak will not be over cooked.

manticore, good point.

I learned that even if a relationship takes a conscious effort to maintain, I'd still prefer to allow things to take their natural course. I appreciate it better when things are free-flowing, because control is an illusion. People's choices are a consequence of who they are. I'm a lot happier knowing that we both keep the relationship not by force, but out of choice.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

aren't we controlling the direction of the relationship by the decisions we make?

i for one believe that a part of the equation to make the relationship work is to make a conscious effort to help the relationship along. the decisions we make along the way will likely dictate where the relationship will go. of course, it still takes two to tango, so decisions must be mutually reached.

a friend of mine sent this to me...just want to share it here

Inspiring quotes from Sex in the City...

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.

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.

but don't let faith make you stupid. God does things decent and in order.

11. Don't settle.

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

13. 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?

better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for

staying when things are not better.

17. There's only one 'reason' a man dumps you; he doesn't want you.

treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his

family (not just mom).

28. There's more than physical abuse, there's

emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of

them...flee.

hot rocks along ortigas, i find it a whole lot better than house of minis.

i like mine medium

give your guy around two weeks. i don't think whatever decision he has to make will take that long for him to reflect on or consider. if after 2 weeks he still hasn't tried to get in touch with you then maybe you should start to accept things as they are and start moving on with your life.

chabacano, i think it's their overall image medyo baduy na trying hard. their songs are ok if you like juke box songs like those of victor wood. medyo pa feeling gwapo kahit hindi. kaya maraming ayaw sa kanya. pero pang masa siya.
