43 lessons that MUST be learned in relationships
1. IF A MAN WANTS YOU, NOTHING CAN KEEP HIM AWAY. IF HE DOESN’T WANT YOU, NOTHING CAN MAKE HIM STAY.
2. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a man’s character, leave him alone.
4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
5. STOP TRYING TO CHANGE YOURSELF FOR A RELATIONSHIP THAT’S NOT MEANT TO BE.
6. Don’t force an attraction.
7. SLOWER IS BETTER.
8. NEVER LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR A MAN BEFORE YOU FIND WHAT MAKES YOU TRULY HAPPY.
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.
10. Don’t settle.
11. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
12. 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?
13. Don’t stay because you think, “it will get better.” You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
14. Honorable men take care of their business and aren’t involved in a whole lot of mess.
15. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
16. THERE’S ONLY ONE ‘REASON’ A MAN DUMPS YOU; HE DOESN’T WANT YOU.
17. Avoid men who’ve got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn’t marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
18. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince.
19. Always put yourself and your happiness first.
20. Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
21. MAINTAIN BOUNDARIES IN HOW A GUY TREATS YOU. IF SOMETHING BOTHERS YOU, SPEAK UP.
22. Like from the show Sex and the City, if he doesn’t call, he just isn’t that interested.
23. Be honest and upfront.
24. Know when to cut the cord; don’t be strung along.
25. Don’t fall for the “I’m confused role”. Remove yourself from the situation
to let him figure things out (but don’t wait for him, move on).
26. if you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family (not just mom).
27. there’s more than physical abuse, there’s emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of them…flee.
28. You cannot change a man’s behaviors. Change comes from within.
29. Don’t let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow himself — double-standard.
30. Don’t EVER make him feel he is more important than you are…even if he has
more education or in a better job.
31. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
32. Demand respect and if he can’t give it, he can’t have you!
33. Don’t compete with other woman, but be aware that men are attracted to what they see.
34. If you think he is cheating, he probably is. Confront him right away and if you feel he’s lying, let him go.
35. Actions speak louder than words.
36. Never let a man define who you are.
37. Never rely on a man for compliments, look to yourself for that.
38. Never borrow someone else’s man.
39. If he cheated with you, he’ll cheat on you.
40. JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE LOVES YOU, DOESN’T MEAN THAT HE WON’T HURT YOU AND IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH HIM.
41. To use painful hard-won wisdom — ‘get it right’ the next time.
42. Know that you deserve to be the number one person in the life of the #1 person in your life.
43. Love is a verb…

I’m copying snippets from the blog I used when I closed this one, and also bits from plurk/msn. Just for a resolution.

I simply do not understand the rationale of breaking up with someone but claiming to want to be with them later. Wtf? Toy ah, battery-operated, want to switch on then switch on, switch off then switch off ah? Don’t you think it’s bloody selfish? Yes as CM said, maybe it’s a meaningless struggle that might reach an irreparable state, but isn’t this an irreparable state huh? If you love someone, how can you bear to break her heart so devastatingly, how can you know that she is crying over you every single day and yet still have the heart to cut her away from your life? I know it’s not easy for you too, so why do you have to do this? I know your love for me, and I know you still love me deeply. So why torment both of us this way? And you’ve already started ignoring me! That’s your resolution to things, ain’t it. Run away, avoid! Hide under the covers and pretend things don’t exist! Fantastic. Do you seriously think that after how you hurt me, how cruel you’ve been, I’ll still want to be with you? I’m not like you, my love is not a switch that can be readily turned off and on. But I’m getting there.

I was okay, because I thought we still had December to sort things out, as our main problem was LDR. But you cancelled it. You cancelled PD, Langkawi, Genting, everything. You’re not even bloody coming back now. You did the same thing in July, then you said it was the thing you regretted the most in your life, and now you’re back to doing the exact same thing. How can people trust you? If you don’t want LDR as you claimed, then why cancel December?? You have no idea what you want. You can vacillate between her and me, want and don’t want. You have no clue what you want.

I thought perhaps I was important to you, but looks like I was wrong. I didn’t know what you were thinking in july, and I don’t know what you’re thinking now. I don’t seem important enough for you to share your thoughts with me. You’d rather hurt me time and again than make me understand why you do certain things. You always think you know what’s best for me huh? Who the fuck are you again? You’re not me, how would you know what’s best for me? You just invariably hurt me more. When i needed love, all you could do was yell at me. I don’t need a friend like you who thinks he knows everything. I don’t need you in my life. You claim to love me, but dude, actions speak louder than words. And all your actions say that you don’t give a damn about me.

I’m just disappointed that after we all that we went through, you suddenly decide we’re not worth it anymore, that our love isn’t worth it anymore. Just two more months, and now you give up.

Oh yes, I do love myself. I have such a strong pride, even L knew it since a long time ago. How long have i known you? And you actually say that i don’t love myself. You really don’t know me. It is this exact same pride that is not allowing me to get back with you, be it now, December, or beyond. July, you made mistakes. It’s okay, it was the first time, I can put up with it. But again and again. And now, after you cancelled December. This is the last straw. I won’t let you hurt me again. I have to protect myself first. You’re more than fine with it anyway.

So from your actions, I am forced to believe you never did love me at all. I am taking this to be a non-relationship, i.e. no, I never was in a relationship with you. You’re not the only one who can trivalise this, and I’m all for it. We can just pretend it never happened.

I’m okay now because of love from others. I don’t need you and your love, because I know there are still others who care for me. But it is inevitably sad, as if a loved one died. It hurts to have someone so close to your heart cut away, and I believe in grieving, but what’s more important is learning that your heart can beat on its own . If you truly love yourself, you’ll be happy regardless of whether you’re one or two. I’m happy that it happened, and I don’t regret it at all. I’m already thankful that I had a chance to love someone. Not asking for anything more. So go on ignoring me, I don’t give a shit anymore.

I’m not bitter, not anymore. It’s just kinda like it never happened, and I have awakened from my reverie.

I am grinning like a fool.

I don’t know why, but I am much happier than I have been for the past two weeks. Yes I know I’m typing in propers caps again. Haiya I’m erratic can! Don’t kacau. I’m over him lah don’t worry!

Gymming is so therapeutic.

I am happy, because if you don’t think, happiness is a state of mind. I was much happier in Canada than I remembered. Amidst all the problems with admin, I think I was indeed happy. Be it sitting in Lucky’s internet cafe (lol) stealing her abundant snacks or cycling to the gym and Tim Hortons or watching Juan play with sparklers to impress a girl or girls’ floor party… these are all things that I don’t think I’ll forget anytime soon. I don’t know, should I go back to visit my dearest Hollie and Julie? I need to go travelling soon lah. Am going out of my mind.

Oh yah, comments are closed (starting from the last entry) until further notice. Why ah, because I think they’re all going to be nonsensical posts like this one!

Hehehehehehehehehehehhh. Yah this girl crazy one. Just ignore. Hehehehehehehehe.

edit: bye bloggie don’t miss me. i will tweak you again after november. but i will still blog when i need you. yes i’m a fairweather friend. but you know you love me right! heheh i love you too ok i go byebye. say byebye to these silly silent readers also! bloggie: byebye!! me: byebye!! /edit

i’m not going to pretend that it’s all okay.

it’s gonna take as long as it’s gonna take. sure it feels horrible, but there’s nothing i can do. after all we’ve been through, there’s really nothing left to say. i did try my best and there was a week when the 2-day curse didn’t exist. yet at the end of that week he chose to pull out of my life, and i have learned to accept it. i did my best and i have no regrets. this is his choice. yes i will respect it but it doesn’t mean that i am okay with it.

i for one should be familiar with the transience in life. the only constant is change. it’s just a little scary how ‘love’ can snuff out just like that. ah, c’est la vie. and you realise you never really knew the people you thought you did.

you learn to be stronger, then you find yourself being broken down, then you learn to be stronger again. but in actuality, you never learn. you keep getting sucked into this whirlpool, willingly. not the first time, never the last.

the trouble with love is.

but no matter what i do, i’ll simply smile. i am not you - i will not hide behind a smile, not anymore. that was so 2000. i will just smile when i mean it. i have no need to hide anything.

the thing about family is they never, ever stop loving you. they’re always there for you to fall back on. no matter how estranged you might be. no matter how many times you’ve screwed up.

guys are just jerks lah.

love is not about it being worth it or not. humans always think of whether something is worth my time/effort, what’s the opportunity cost, what’s in it for me, he doesn’t deserve you, you don’t deserve her… i say screw it. why must there be something “in it for me”? do mums say, if i buy my 3-year-old kid an ice-cream, maybe he won’t put me in a home for the aged 30 years later? does God say, if i bless this woman, will i get an extra $50 in tithes or she’ll do a good deed for someone else? LOVE DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY. it’s probably the only thing that can make humans this stupid, but it’s also the only thing that make humans human. it’s not about what you get back, at least not tangibly.

in canada, we went to a home to sing christmas carols. sure, i’ve had praises on my singing before, and yes i appreciate them,  but when it comes from an elderly woman in a wheelchair with tears in her eyes, struggling to get the words out, you can hardly take it lightly.

angela was so worked up after chatting with a guy staying at the home. she was on the verge of tears, probably due to her korean background. “these people actually have children; their children just don’t want them!” and “in korea they would never send their parents to a home!” this was very unstandable - visiting such places does make you realise a lot. but it wasn’t the first time for me, and perhaps my heart has been hardened, but i told her “if the children are busy, or don’t have the means to take care of their parents, then perhaps putting them under professional care will be the best, especially under pallative conditions.” but nobody would like to go to a home. no senior would like to live with other old people; in singapore the elderly mostly like to see the children and the youth, even in their neighbourhood. the government here has built these homes near schools so that schoolgoing children can do their mandatory community service there, but children often dislike seniors. myself, i can hardly claim to be detached from these people.

hihi i just changed the fonts! will be tweaking more tomorrow. i like this theme but it doesn’t support widgets or any other plugins ugh. i think the categories part on the sidebar takes up damn a lot of space >( omg i bought these jetlag pills and i actually feel sleepy yay okay uh yes i will be updating the about me page, to not sound so pretentious (wtf that was written like 2 years ago) as well as the about the site page, and i will be thinking about whether to link anyone at all (yes i’m antisocial har-dee-har). i might just link random people. misc page to store all random pages is up, not that i have many pages… my quotes pages are very backward, and i might have a french quote page up soon. i’m still not satisfied with my sidebar, and i think i really have to do some self-promotion after my exams. i kinda lost a lot of readership due to the recent closure, bollocks. anyway i will have more time for this blog in december since japan/malaysia/australia/cambodia trips are ALL off (heart damn pain) and i think i have no plans for december anymore wtf probably just sleep at home everyday sigh. see la i knew december was too good to be true *mutters*

will blog tomorrow lah! stupid medicine so effective >:(

edit: i’m sorry if you hate music on blogs, i love ‘em! i think it’s a great way to listen to new music. i love how my layout looks now! the favicon thingy doesn’t work bleurgh, will fix that some other time. i love personalising my site :D

diffident i will no longer be.

i remember m telling me about how l (the letter ‘l’, not I) begged her to let him go back to her. and she hated it. why should a guy beg? being the naturally antagonistic person i disagreed with her, and i said why is it a shame to want to pursue one’s own happiness, and why is it a shame to try one’s best to be with the person one loves? she didn’t reply me for a while, and then she changed subjects. i knew she agreed with me, but pride didn’t permit her to admit that.

fuck pride.

earlier tonight i sent someone an email that revealed a lot. as expected, he scoffed at me. but it’s okay. as long as i get what i want, why am i afraid of people laughing at me? they can talk/insult/laugh all they want, but they don’t know the complete picture, and they don’t want to know the complete picture. all they want is to sit in their comfort zone and bitch about every little thing. my email exposed a lot of the vulnerability i have kept hidden for months now. and i wasn’t afraid anymore to showcase these raw emotions. i am not afraid of letting the ones i love know how much i love them, and how much i need them. it is not subservient, it is not submissive, and it is definitely not stupid. it is simply heartfelt. if one who writes is afraid of exposing one’s feelings, then please take your pen and give it to someone who actually deserves to write. why, are you too chicken to identify and deal with your own feelings and emotions?

in penang we used to go down to the night bazaar and buy dramas, RM4 for one piece and buy 10 get 1 free lol. then we’d trade them and circulate them all around. so yes while my miserably meagre 1MBPS maxis (altho not as meagre as portable internet in canada wtf where we yelled at each other for downloading and slowing the speed sigh) internet cannot compare to my 10MBPS i have here in singapore, i was never short of dramas or movies to watch. i’d have hong kong dramas and gossip girl and the l word and little britain and bones and even spongebob squarepants and really any mainstream shows. so while i don’t suppose you can find y tu mama tambien at these night bazaars. (which reminds me, i love how they don’t sell porn. but then again my friend says you have to ask them =.=)  anyway gossip girl is boring. i couldn’t even bring myself to watch the last episode of season 1. blair and jenny parts are nice, the rest are super boring yawn. and how i met your mother has started i’m so happy =D sigh.

my life is so boring. argh december hurry up already! i just hope i won’t be too broke by then to enjoy you *sniff* fat hope la i’m going to be owing money at this rate T_T and next year… where will i be next year? i still want to go all over the place and i didn’t volunteer anywhere this year =( home & life sent me an email about their new website and it made me miss all the little rascals so much (and my god they are natural camwhores. i hope their english is half as good as their camwhoring skills). i miss thailand so much it has almost been a year since i came back from chiang rai. and when will i finally get to backpack in vietnam?? haiya i want to go everywhere.  who wants to come with meeeee??? (backpacking please i live from hand to mouth)

these few days i cried a lot. when i finally thought i had decided what route i should take, it seems that someone had already decided for me, that it was not to be. don’t count your chickens before they hatch, but who says that ducks aren’t just as good, if not better than chickens? so i picked the ducks instead. i’m still lucky to be able to have ducklings even though my first choice were chicks. but after tonight i realise my first choice should have been ducklings right from the start. why would anyone think the ‘ugly’ duckling is ugly? i think it’s special.

when i was young(er - haha), i’d watch those 7pm dramas while having dinner, (my mom would always scold me because my rice would all be cold by the time 8pm rolls around.) and i thought how awful it was for a woman to give birth to a disabled (mentally or physically) kid. i know dear mrs kan would shake her head sadly and say a silent prayer for the mother and her kid, haha (mrs kan, i miss u!). as i grew older, and been to hospital and homes to do volunteer work, i think these people are really special. some time ago, i went to a friend’s family and saw a very special girl. she was very pretty, and you know she wasn’t like normal folks, but she was very endearing. it made you notice her, a little girl that you normally wouldn’t give a second glance to. it was as if she was attracting you to love her more. she would cry easily, and it really hurt to see her in pain. i wondered if i would be lucky enough to love someone in special need like her one day. always thought that having a special needs kid teaches you more about love than having a normal kid does. if i were to have a special needs kid one day, i’d thank god for choosing me to love and have such a special child. if i have the means to, i’d definitely adopt. not an exotic child for an international family unlike ms UN ambassador a.k.a. show-off, but a precious, special child.

so i’m back home after half a month. wearing clean shirts that smell like my mama and not the cheap detergent i bought at jusco. being amazed at how fast an episode can download (am watching it right now hehe). don’t have to worry about seeing mice shit among my stuff, or taking the rubbish out to throw while pinching my nose. no loss of electricity or water stoppage here, no way. i guess you never do know how good home is until you’ve experienced worse. but i still enjoy living in kl, despite the loneliness and the dirty, decrepit conditions. i know what this place has to offer, but still, i prefer being away from home. i may have never been really rebellious (like joining gangs or becoming an ah lian) but we really are all rebellious in our own ways. which is a good thing, because hey, conformity is très, très boring.

why did i come home, if i was so happy in kl, or even penang this time? loneliness. the thing about studying overseas is, once school ends, you hardly ever see each other again. more so now that the new school term has started, and suddenly you find all your friends scattered across the universe. unless you’re juan, willing go to hk to look for schoolmates, most people hardly care. who do i know in kl? not many people. even fewer in penang. sure, when you see the starbucks barista enough times she starts to recognise you and might even strike a conversation in broken english, or a random uncle might try to kacau you, but these are not friends. there’s only so many times you can chat on msn before you feel like talking to someone, anyone, and so many times your friends can tell you they miss you and vice versa before you feel like being in several different places at once.
