Scribbles

It’s way past one, actually about 6 minutes before 2am, but still I’m needing you now.. hahahaha…. It’s from a song, lady antebellum, need you now…. Ok, so you didn’t get my joke. Now why am I writing this when in fact I should be doing something productive like start all over again for our finM7 or probably GET SOME SLEEP… wait.. I wrote something like that on my previous entry… seriously though, I think I’m suffering from mild-insomnia… Anyway, so I’m writing this because this day was crap, however it could have been worse… ok..


I’m writing for 3 reasons:

1. 1.) Something about my major

2. 2.) No strings Attached

3. 3.) First chapter of John Gray’s Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus


First, I just got the result directly from a friend of mine. I have never failed any of my subjects YET, but I’ll make sure not to get an F till I’ll get that degree. Ok… so INC is better than getting an F considering that 50 of his students FAILED, myself included who got an INC mark. He’s still giving us a chance, and what did he say? Text I mean… “Your paper was LOUSY!!! Revise EVERYTHING!!” seriously though, he could have chosen a better word, like “Improve your paper” or “your economic indicator is good, but it could be better.” I mean, can’t he just give us a little credit, it’s not like we deserve it or anything, but at least just to boost our confidence. So we’ll probably start tomorrow and if possible work on it during the tour. Great! Speaking of the tour, now I’ll probably not gonna enjoy the tour, but still I’ll try to… I may not to some extent but I still do deserve a break.


Second, I was just done watching the movie. I haven’t got the chance to see it till today, and guess what?! Yeah, the movie was great. I kind of well, got attached to no strings attached. I’ll definitely watch it all over again tomorrow. Let me just point some certain issues with the movie, the characters rather. The girl in the movie was “GAGA” and the guy, well.. you guessed it!! “GAGO” know why?!? The girl herself obviously knows for a fact that she’s already falling for the guy, but she kept on sticking to the idea that they’d be better off that way than entering into a relationship that has commitments and arguments (those two come in package). The guy on the other hand, I mean, it was pretty obvious that the girl was just saying those things but meaning the other way around yet he still chose to give her up. Here’s more, the girl finally realized that she got hit badly by cupid’s arrow so she called the guy, as told by her sister… but then the “gago” guy just turned her down when obviously he’s really into her…. Then the “gaga” di pa nakuntento,, pinuntahan pa yung guy! And look what happened?! She ended up getting hurt-- well it was partly her fault in the first place for not really realizing her own feelings sooner. Ok. Both parties should do their part, and if none of the two is thoughtful enough to extend then nothing’s going to happen. Anyway, the girl in the movie has a strong personality and a strong character. I love her for that but having a strong character doesn’t mean you are not allowed to get hurt. We are also human. we’re vulnerable no matter how thick we surround ourselves with the walls which we have created. It’s not like we don’t have feelings or emotions, but rather it’s just a matter of perspective. Some people choose to let it pass, others put on masks to have an impression that they are strong but truthfully it’s eating them from inside out, and some turn all those things into something good. It’s not about pushing people away, it’s just a way of letting people choose if they really want to stay in spite of the false words.


Lastly, about the infamous book entitled Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. I’m still on the first chapter of the book so I can’t really say, or write, much. Only thing is this, we can’t 100% read people and we can’t predict people. True, it can be applicable to some, but not all. The topics or situations that were discussed were, in my opinion, bizarre!!! Like for example, that men don’t expect any help from women unless they ask because it lowers their pride and dignity. Women on the other hand, is comfortable of telling her problems but expects no criticisms or even a proposed solution. Rather, women wants to be replied by “hhhmmm”… here.. to get a clearer picture…

Woman: there is so much to do. I have no time for myself

Man: sounds like you had a rough day

Woman: they expect me to change everything at a moment’s notice. I don’t know what to do

Man: hmmmm…

Woman: I even forgot to call my aunt

Man: Oh no



OR THIS....



Woman: there is so much to do. I have no time for myself

Man: you should quit your job. You don’t have to work hard. Find something that you like

Woman: but I like my job. they expect me to change everything at a moment’s notice. I don’t know what to do

Man: Just do what you can do

Woman: I even forgot to call my aunt

Man: don’t worry about it she’ll understand…

I don’t know with you, but I prefer the second one. I think am gonna give this book a shot; it’s still just the first chapter.
