The Philippines Has No Chance, No Future

The idleness that I am experiencing these past few days, the present situation of the Blessed Country Philippines to her worst condition, made me realize that there is no cure and there is no way for this country to heal its corrupt leaders and to solve the unswerving falling of the economic downhell that has become the main problem throughout the many decades of the Filipino Existence.

I can not stay silent and remain mute knowing that the politicians are now on their biggest race to grabbed their chair and situate themselves in the spotlight as one of of the country's leaders, lawmakers, debaters, and most of all, to be one of the countries most corrupt officials.

This is not a lie. In fact every one, all of the Filipinos know that this country no longer has a chance to revive itself from being the nest of politicians who have crooked nails--hands of dirty-hearted creatures who are so numb to feel that their fellowmen and fellow citizens are suffering the painful effects of their dirty deeds.

Since the day my mother pushed me out of her womb, and taught me that the world was round, I felt that I am safe. I felt that I can be on the top of that spherical figure someday. But it was absurd. I was ridiculous enough to believe that the earth is round and it revolves for all of us.

The world is not round. This is a three-sided mathematical figure known as triangle. We are the bases and they are on top. There is no way that the top of this figure will be ours because they own each of the vertices.

They own dominion in this time of economic crisis. They do not help us, they are stepping us downward instead.

If we will vote. They will win.

If we will not. They will end their terms and will be obliged to go down from their royal seats.

If that happens. No one will govern. We will.

We will make our own country, for the better.

Philippines, you have a future, but not in the hands of these dirty criminals.

Don’t be “Torpe”, ask her for a date

The love month is almost over. But your dream girl is still there, and you’re watching her. Won’t you do anything? 

Though male teenagers nowadays are brave enough and can naturally ask any girl for a date, there are still some who can’t even say a simple “hello” to the girl they’ve much admired. The Filipino term for a guy who lacks confidence in talking to the girl they like is “torpe”.

This is the most common problem some guys are facing, particularly those who never had a date ever since they were born – which is true to some. Some guys freeze like ice while others become mute when their love interest is near. Probably, these guys lack confidence and don’t have experience yet, in any boy-girl relationship. 

In this article of The NORSUnian, we will help you unravel your true manhood and unleash the best in you – your natural talent for courtship. 

Greet her with a smile. Every time you meet her in the campus or just anywhere you see her, give her that pleasant smile of yours associated with a nice “hello!” that is said in a very gracious way. In that manner, she’ll think that you’re friendly, and you care about her presence. 

You have her number, proceed to the next step. You already have her number, and you did a good job. Good because it means that she knows you already, and she might know a little information about you. Her knowing your name, course, or anything little regarding your personality is not that bad, you should be happy. It means that you are enlisted in her thoughts, and she treats you as one of her friends. 

Be thoughtful. A simple text message for her in the morning and night will make her feel that you are attentive to her daily life. Asking her how’s her day or if she has eaten her meal already can be one of those typical subjects that you may want to discuss about. The message should only be for her with her name on it so that she’ll be aware that you especially sent that message for her. 

Don’t be too obvious. Many guys always make this kind of mistake. Remember, girls don’t like men who are too obvious about their feelings, so try to be a little discreet about your “overflowing” feelings for her. Most of the girls give a “minus point” to those guys who act so noticeable about their affection, because for them, it is weird. Put a thrill in your blooming relationship, it will bring excitement and enthusiasm for both of you. 

Ways to approach her. Most guys would depend on their cellphones when they ask a girl for a meeting, but that’s not cool. Women want surprises, and they love unpredictable things to happen just like when you approach her after her class and talk to her about anything under the sun. But be sure that she won’t get bored. You can make the conversation livelier by switching to different topics which both of you can relate with. 

Listen to her and ask questions. It is an additional “pogi point” if you are a good listener. Women admire men who listen to them when they talk. It shows that you are interested in what they are telling and that you care. Apart from a good listening, ask questions frequently so that you’ll exchange ideas, and she’ll talk more. The conversation will flow smoothly, and you’ll know more about her life and personality. In that way, dull moments can be avoided.

Join a club that she’s into. When both of you have one thing in common, it gives you another subject to talk about. Whether you’ll join the varsity team, choir group, religious groups, and other organizations in school, it doesn’t matter, as long as you like it and enjoy it. It can be a chance that you’ll know her better and get close to her. A desire to improve your physical or intellectual skills is attractive to most women. They’ll think that you have something that other common males don’t have.

Give compliments. Don’t ignore her nice dress, shoes, or looks every time you see her. Give her any word of praise that is true and appropriate at that time. Notice her charming eyes, face, or perhaps, you can tell her how beautiful she is in her outfit. In that way, you are giving her a hint that you value the things she is having. But don’t exaggerate the compliment. Women like simple and true compliment that are said in a nice and gentle manner. 

Understand her, be patient. Women are unpredictable. She’s maybe in the good mood yesterday, but it doesn’t mean that she’ll retain that same mood today. They want guys who can understand them. Be patient to her because you have feelings for her. Tell her that you aren’t affected with any of her mood-swings and that you understand her a lot because you care for her. 

Be the joker-serious type. Guys with these two qualities are the ones that most women like to be with. Females love to be with males who know how to make dull moments turn into a livelier one. And if you have these unique characteristics, then there is a greater chance that she’ll spend more time with you since these are their bases of a guy who has a sense of humor. Meaning, you are flexible enough to make her laugh when she’s sad, while you can be the serious-type guy when she needs advises and assistance. 

Be real and be you. Above all, there is no other best way to win the heart of your one true love but to show her who and what you really are. Don’t pretend because that’s the things the she’s looking for in a man. You need to be real and act the way you really are, because in a blooming relationship, lies have no place – truth and sincerity shall abide. 

As a teenager, affection, love, and courtship are one of the common things that you would experience – whether you like it or not, it will happen. Winning and losing may come along the way. You might lose a few times, but there’s nothing to worry, and there is nothing to rush about. Like every prince in every fairytale, a princess is fated to be with him in a happy ever after story.

How to make good first impression on your first date

‘First times’ in our lives will be thoroughly inculcated in our minds. It is like a scar that can never be erased in our thoughts. As days and years go by, the sweet and bitter memories of the ‘first times’ will always be a part of us.

As teenagers, all of us have felt love and most of us experienced having a hard time during our first dates. As the make or break part in the “getting-to-know-each-other” stage, first dates are always a problem.

And because we want you to do and look your best, The NORSUnian will give you some tips to improve your dating skills and impress that date of yours.

Dress well to impress her/him. The way you choose your outfit is based on the type of people you want to attract. In dressing up, you must consider their personal likes and dislikes. For creative people, they lean more on graphically interesting fabrics and color while the professionals and serious types prefer darker and clean-clothing lines.

Taking into consideration your body type and combining it with up-to-date trends for your dating attire can also be overwhelming. For girls, you don’t have to choose backless dresses, instead, use the ones that are not so sexy but can still reveal your curves and hidden beauty. It is a matter of wearing a perfect blended outfit that will leave your date speechless and stunned.

Here are some things you may also want to consider:

• Don’t wear an outfit you are not comfortable with. If you are going to be constantly adjusting your tie or button-up collar, better not wear them.

• Wearing well-fitted clothes which are not too baggy or too tight will reveal more of your feminine curves and will show a firmer and sexier masculinity for men.

• Dress appropriately for the occasion. For girls, do not dress cleavage-revealing tops especially if your date is quite conservative.

• Don’t try to be too trendy. Leave experimentation with your look for a time when you are in a stable relationship.

• Don’t wear brand new shoes. They have the potential to hurt your feet and make your time miserable.

• Don’t wear clothes just because of their brand names. Choose the clothes that fit you best.

• Don’t overdo it. Just be as simple as possible yet very well-prepared.

Dressing up the right way will surely make your date special because you took the time and effort to look good for him or her.

Be clean and simple. “Simple is beautiful.” When you are meeting or getting to know someone for the first time, make sure you are showing off the right ambiance. It means that you must be emotionally and physically neutral, not overdoing anything from the way you look up to the way you act.

Keeping your outfit clean and simple will improve your physical features and boost your confidence. It is also a way of getting people notice you. You should always remember that a little can go a long way.

• Be simple in the way you wear your clothes. Don’t overdress by wearing something that is out for the occasion. Like wearing a glittery dress while your date is at the park. You’re not going to disco!

• Don’t wear too much stuff like accessories and gold-plated jewelries. Pick the nice one that suits you best.

• Do have clean hands and well manicured nails.

• Do have well-groomed hair and a clean haircut.

• Don’t wear heavy make-up. Your date might think that you are trying to hide something.

Act as if you‘re meeting an old friend. If you just imagine that the person you have just met and are talking to is one of your best friends, you probably can adjust unconsciously.

Open up your body-language to a very friendly and warm position and reduce any nervousness or weirdness in your tone of voice and body-language. The nice thing about this is that you may also start to feel positive feelings towards this new person, just as you do with your friends when you meet him/her. This is a pretty good starting-point in developing a good relationship.

Use your body language. Smile. Don’t cross your arms or legs. Turn your body towards the people you’re shaking hands with or talking to so that your body language is friendly and open. Make relaxed eye contact, and do not stare at your date when talking or listening to him. When you break eye-contact, try to do it in a slow manner. Do not let your eyes just split away. Making eye-contact can be a little bit hard but if you work at it, you will get used to it.

Remember that your eyes is the window of your soul. Thus, with eye-contacts, you can show your date the real you.

Stand up straight and don’t think too much. Keeping a good posture certainly improves the impression one makes. Sit or stand up straight. Try, as much as possible, to focus only to the person you are talking to rather than focusing on yourself and the people surrounding you.

Be positive. Positive deeds will produce positive outcomes.

If you bust out the first dates in the past, there is a big chance that this time your date will mentally label you in a different way.

A better way to convey a positive attitude in a first meeting is to assess the mood of your date before you start to open your mouth. When you have an emotional connection and the other person feels the same way, it is the time that you can let your charm rise a bit more.

Mentally rehearse before you even enter the room. Visualize how great the events will unfold, see and hear it, and also how great will you feel this time.

See yourself smiling and having a great time. See the excellent outcome in your mind. Then visualize that it has already happened, that the date is over with the desired result. This is surprisingly effective and will get you into a great and relaxed mood during first dates.

A simple “Hi!” combined with an adoring smile may do just fine in starting a perfect conversation.

Be yourself. This is probably the most important thing anyone should put in before going on a date.

Don’t pretend to be somebody you’re not. If you’re a loud person, say it, be it.... You don’t want your date to assume that you are the other way around. Being yourself would assure you that your date likes you not because you are rich, etcetera which you may not be in reality.

If you follow these simple steps, it is much assured that your date will go on well. Good luck and be prepared because your date might be the one you’re looking for.

When Love (and Infatuation) Strikes

For women, love at first sight and true love are phenomenal. For men, it usually happens every time they meet gorgeous ladies heading their way.

Living in the modern era, teenagers are often confused on when to say that love is present in a relationship. They often get fooled on believing things such as “love at first sight” and other stuffs alike. They are weak and unsure in things related to these matters.

Every person was created by God with the most precious gifts and physical attributes that made us all special. But among all of these amazing qualities is the vital part that expresses the wisdom of God’s purpose – the heart to feel love.

But this holy and sanctified gift has been contaminated with malice and wrong perceptions throughout the change of time. There is a problem with dividing love from attraction. Worst, many of us are duped into believing that an attraction is Love.

But this holy and sanctified gift has been contaminated with malice and wrong perceptions throughout the change of time. Love, that is supposed to be holy and sanctified by the Divine, and attraction, are slowly evolving into one. Meaning, when a guy is attracted to a lady, it directly indicates that he feels love and vice versa.

Factually, men are more prone in doing this evolution misconception. Now, the question is, how many time does a guy get attracted to girls? Could it lead to a disaster?

Young men, in specific, always have these “love at first sight” dramas every time they see attractive girls coincide their path. And believe or not, the image of that girl will be inculcated in their thoughts and perhaps dream about that lady for a series of time.

That “love at first sight” events will result to sleepless nights, unstable heartbeats, and paranoia to when they will see that lovely lady again. But in case if there is no other chance to see that girl once more, it is not a big deal since they still have a wave of girls to choose from.

And after a day or two, when men already have their new prospect of desire, they will eventually forget the other woman because a new attractive chick comes along.

Females on the other hand, misjudge men to these kinds of doings. Most of them have negative comments like calling men as jerks, liars and great pretenders. Whether boys like it or not, these accusations are real. They can’t escape the blazing eyes of women who were victims of their brutality.

To be fair, women should also hear men’s side.

Jason Libres, a sophomore Information Technology student, said that he believes in things such as love at first sight. “It happened to me thrice or maybe higher,” he said. He also said that he felt love for someone a couple of times already and it is natural for a man to feel love. But he said that “it depends on the situation”. He continued that “things change” and he does not want to stay in a relationship if his feelings would die away for someone. “I am honest; I just don’t want to hurt anyone,” he said. He clarified that his feelings would fade if he will see something wrong to his love interest and he doesn’t tend to play women’s hearts.

Same answer was given by a senior social science student, Jettrey Velonta. “Every time I see good looking girls coming on my way, I would surely turn my head.” He said that he appreciates attractive women simply because he is a human who knows the real meaning of the word beauty. He continued that since he was in high school, he already fell in love more or less than twenty times. He added that a guy can feel love to his opposite sex as many times as he want for as long as he is not committed.

Sought for his reaction about the matter, Jake Ronald Rodriguez, a junior BS Hospitality Management student said that it is just nature why men act that way. “A simple touch from a girl will become a big deal for us and we may think of it as a seduction motive,” he said.

He also shared that women should not hate all men since every man is different from the other. “Some are like that (bad ones) but there are few who still value the true essence of love,” he said. He cited himself an example of a man who is faithful to his girlfriend and that even once he did not cheat on her.

“Before, when I was still single, I am attracted directly to someone who is stunning and beautiful,” he added. He narrated that if he is attracted to someone at first sight he would follow that girl to wherever she goes so that he can get her attention. But he explained that when he met her girlfriend he changed and became a better person. He continued that he has changed his manner after seeing his new one now, and has completely changed his old ways.

Men are likewise humans and they are weak to temptations. We fall in love, we become infatuated, we fail, and we break up. But in the end, we will surely arrive to a destiny with the right one. And by that time, we will realize that despite falling in love many times, we will find the right person – the true one – at the right time.

NO goals in life, NO tomorrow

This was my realization today, after all the past realizations that I've had. See? things are really getting too complicated. And me, on the other hand, is just so confident enough to what I am doing - not attending classes, passing testpapers with no answers, and most of all, sleeping while the class is going on.

Maya reminds me always of going to school, and of course, I am a good follower, so I always go to school, even on Sundays and Saturdays. But that doesn't mean that I attend my daily classes. I'm tired and I don't know why is this happening.

Maybe, The News Editor was right that I lack goals in life. I have no goals and that resulted to my non-stop no-cure laziness this semester.

What are goals? I mean, what are really my goals in life?

Are goals in life the same as ambitions in life?

I think not, they are different. I have ambitions, tons of ambitions. I want to have a huge white mansion, US Navy-like submarine, helicopter, cars, and everything that a crazy minded jerk could ever wish for. As the saying goes "LIBRE ANG MANGARAP", and this is true.

Indeed, ambitions are the reason why people strive hard and continue living their totally-messed-up lives everyday. Though how miserable and hell-like their life is, they still has the reason to go on and fight once more because of one thing - GOALS in life.

GOAL..hmmm...I really cannot explain clearly what I have understood about this word because I am still on the process of thinking about it. I'll talk about it next time.

SO, that's it.

To be able to boost up your determination is to have goals.

DO I have goals in life?

hmmmmmmm.....I couldn't figure that out either.....

A comeback from a 2-week disapperance in the blogosphere , Love is in the air

It’s no longer obsession this time. It’s something beyond that – it’s love and this is real.

From the time I had this strong obsession about this girl, and up to the time I got close to her seems like a movie in fast-forward mode.

And now, we are enjoying each other’s company - happy and contented.

I don’t need to elaborate all the things that had happened because I don’t want this blog to look like an all-love category.

So, let me not elaborate, but rather narrate the happenings in the past days. (hahaha)

We walked in the rain for two hours, that’s 5:30-7:30 P.M., last Thursday and it was really cold. That time was filled with a lot of nonsense conversation and laughters. She still looked very stunning even though the rain was heavily pouring. I brushed her hair with my hands since her hair covered her face. In return, she wiped my wet face with her hankie because I told her to do so (hahahaha)…

The next day, she sang a song with a guitar in the rooftop of a building, and I was her only audience. She quite has a good voice, and she was really charming and amazing that I adore her more for that.

We hugged each other and………. - a dream came true.

I can’t ask for more. Well, my days won’t be the same again if she’ll go away.

I’ll be better for her………… I’ll make this “happy ever after” last longer – until I’ve got white hair and wrinkles all over my face.

________________________________________________________________________

For the past weeks, I was not able to post my thrice-a-week journal since our editor cut the internet connection in each of the reporter’s personal computers – a punishment for not performing our job as student journalists.

There are lots of things that had happened the day I last posted a blog here.

MIDTERM EXAMS. Finally, the eyebrow-burning (is this word right?) exams have finally come to and end, and I’m now a little bit confident that I’ll get low scores because I didn’t study at all, and that’s COOL. Cool because I’m pretty sure that my transcript of records will be more colorful with all of those RED-tinted grades. AWESOME!

Fairytale - where are we going Maya (that's not a bird, it's a princess' name)

I'm afraid of losing you. I don't want to see this fairytale end up, not reaching the happy ending.

Tonight's January 16, 11 P.M., it's been a day since the last time we texted each other. Is it okay if I'll say "I miss Maya"? - From now on, I'll name her in my blog as "Maya". Because I really do miss her since I rarely see her these days. I'm not attending my English Classes (the only time of the day where I can see her).

What is happening to this blog. I have noticed that for the past journals I have posted here, it's all about love - my love story, not yours. But this is mine so let me do the work (hahaha).

So, let me not talk about the "L" thing this time. I'll share something more interesting. The love thing still, will be included at the later part (haha). You can't blame a man with hearts revolving around his head.

I'm glad that I was able to take a bath early in the morning these past days. THAT IS ACHIEVEMENT. Meaning, I was able to attend my morning subjects with me in a so-called fresh-good-smell. I am not sure if I really did smell good, but no one should argue because I know my scent.

I have a new look. Yes, you hear it, I undergone a barber-shop surgery a week ago and I didn't feel good about my new hair cut. It's not that bad, but it seems like I wanted more. I guess, I should not expect a lot the next time I'll cut my hair so I wouldn't be disappointed. And, I don't want Maya to see my hair because it doesn't look good, really. She might not text or befriend me anymore.

I had a one-week cellphone access. One of the Editors, Ate Nadine, super nice and kind, allowed me to use her phone for a week and that is awesome. I was able to text Maya for that span of time. And believe me, lots of things happen - bad and good. I hope nothing's change. Nothing has (the feeling) change for me, I don't know with hers.

Complicated - Is this the end of our fairytale?

What is wrong with us - me and you, or perhaps just me. Well, maybe it's always my fault why you get sad, why you get mad, and why the things between us are getting so complicated.

It might sound so weird that I often tell you that "I don't want to see you" though I have feelings for you. But, that's the opposite of what I always say. I really do wanted to see you always - but I just don't want to let you see me steadily looking at you. What a JERK!

A few days ago, last Thursday to be specific, a friend told you about something. He probably shared to you about his made-out topic (the things I've said)which he insisted that these were not rue. HELL!. I mean, I can't tell lies. It would be so ridiculous for me to do it. I don't have to tell lies about my feelings since these are DAMN true. SHIT!

How can I tell lies when all I know is reality. I am blinded with this piece of junk - Love, but it's the reason why I'm happy. I really do not know where are we going. I am not courting you, I am not that obvious (hope so..but you know it), but I NEED YOU. Living a day knowing that you're just around makes it brighter.

There are times that I HURT you, I PISS you off, I make you MAD, and I make you sad. I AM SORRY

There are times when I don't consider you're feelings and I kept minding my own.

I AM SORRY

There are times when I often apologize and say "sori" for my lapses, but still I keep on doing that all over again.

I AM SORRY

There are times when you wanted to see me and I would refuse since I thought you were just kidding. I AM SORRY

There are times when I get angry at you and hurt you. Believe me, it was just thru text and I can't do that in reality. You still don't know me well.

I AM SORRY

I AM SORRY for all the "I'M SORRY".

I guess, I am no good for you. But, I really wanted to stay around and tell you that "I love you" face-to-face someday, embrace you with my arms, and kiss you so dearly.

But, how can that be happening if both of us can't understand each other.

But if things will get fine and chances are permitted by the heaven, I will be better ateh..

I DON'T WANT THIS FAIRYTALE TO END, AND PLEASE, DON'T LET IT TO HAPPEN, AS WELL.
