Love Rx

Break-ups currently surround me. This morning, two gorgeous ladies I know, were exchanging stories about their break-ups, how difficult it was to adjust and all that "hanging there" lines.

Last night or this early morning, my two bestfriends gate crashed my ready-to-sleep house and over some cans of beer, shared their own stories of break-ups.

My stance to this kind of situation has always been the same -- that when a guy broke your heart, we ladies should ask ourselves what do we want to do now.

Do we want to lie down and sleep all day and forget that our scariest nightmare had just come to scare us more?

Or do we want to anonymously text our ex and tell him how stupid he is for fooling us?

Or how about wanting to be dead-drunk all day?

Bottomline is, let's go to the basics. Let's not ask the most complicated questions nor give enormous justifications (like, "bakit nya ko iniwan?" "may mali ba ako?", etc. etc.).

Focus on the basics. And that's what we are going to do. Let's cry, let's bombard his phone with curses and all that junk we have been saving for situations like this (if this is what's gonna help us feel better), let's drink all day and party, or let's just forget the guy and move on.

What if we want the guy back?

But... does he deserve another chance? He fooled you, remember? Superego, superego.

But hey, this is just Jajajanice's opinion.

Sabe ni Robert

Prologue

Although pa-init na ng pa-init ang mga labanan, i always remember the one great quote by Robert De Niro, "Positive things happen to positive thinkers".

Hah! Funny Siya!

I never save forwarded messages. But this one, the one my bestfriend sent is really hilarious and for lack of a better term, a very empowering one.

Read on!

"Kapag nakita mo 'yung ex mo na kasama yung girl na pinalit nya sayo, wag kang malungkot, magselos o mainis, smile lang, sabay sabi, 'Bagay sila, isang Basura at isang Basurera!'"

:-D

Oh Kam On!

After a long day's work, my belief has changed: that a stress-free life can only be achieved by people who do not often worry, who just lie down and relax and wait for food on the table.

Sometimes, it's just so hard to identify what makes a stress-free life. Now I don't know if what I have said in the previous paragraph is correct and accepted.

What really is a stress-free life?

Is there a stress-free life?

Maishare ko lang ano...

When I was a senior in Divine, I put Interior Design in my UP application form, Psychology in both Ateneo and UST application forms. Reason was, I love design. I love to imagine my new house and someone else's house. I even had floorplans drawn on my notebook. Psychology, on the other hand, was the choice of most of my batchmates during that time. If Physical Therapy was the course to be in the early 90s, it was Psychology, that took reign in the late 90s.

When I was a freshie in Miriam, I was decided on taking up Business Administration. After all, Business Ad was kind of the trend in my family. However, my fear for mathematical equations took the best of me and convinced me to take up Communication Arts and Advertising instead.

Sophomore year came. I was officially a Communication Arts student and was thinking of what I used to say-- that I would never take up CA. Hahaha. There I went again, undecided and yet, still pushing through.

But you know what, it was a blessing in disguise pala. I had the most fun experiences during my CA years. The thought of not maximizing my abilities in CA was put to the bin. I learned a lot and did a lot of work during those years. For the first time, a decision made by my impulse alone, was correct and so far the best. I landed and excelled in the two companies I used to work for because of CA. That was great.

And now, even in everyday life, I am using CA, in meeting people (or in my case, clients), in generating sales of kukur and dad's shop, in putting original concepts to wherever I feel a concept is needed(our house, myself, our ads, PS).

Although now, I need to learn a lot of stuff about how a business runs (profits, discounts, pricing, etc), I have never ever questioned myself on why didnt I just take up Business Ad. Masaya ako at may natutunan akong bago ngayon habang palago pa rin nang palago ang kaalaman ko sa CA.

Nai-share ko lang naman... ;-)
