A friend sent me this.
Actually I don't think it's pretty insulting or anything like that. Pretty good rules to follow :) Although i don't need to remind joey about dates and occasions. awww :)
Male Rules
We always hear the rules from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note these are all numbered "1" on purpose!
1) Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us bitching about you leaving it down.
1) Sometimes we are not thinking of you. Live with it.
1) Saturday = sport. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1) Don't cut your hair. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair.
1) Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1) Crying is blackmail.
1) Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1) We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.
1) Most guys own three pairs of shoes -- tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
1) Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost any question.
1) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact,all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1) If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant it the other way.
1) Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway, it's genetic.
1) You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1) Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we!
1) ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach,for example, is a fruit, not a color. We have no idea what mauve is.
1) If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that. Again, it's genetic.
1) We are not mind readers and we will never be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
1) If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing is wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1) If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
1) When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.Really.
1) Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, fluctuation or last nights sports scores.
1) You have enough clothes.
1) You have too many shoes.
1) No, No, you really have too many shoes.
1) It is neither in your best interest or ours to take the quiz together. No, it doesn't matter which quiz.
1) Beer is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
1) I AM in shape. ROUND is a shape.
Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight, but did you know we really don't mind that? It's like camping.

yesterday night was a blast! we went to Monk's Dream to watch Sound perform. After two years...they've finally released their album! we've been waiting for it for so long!
I know i've heard them play sooo many times in sooo many gigs but i never get tired! they're just so awesome! a jazz lovers dream in the city of manila :)
When joey and i arrived, we got front row table with mica and migs. later on we moved outside since the throngs of people made the place so warm. It was great seeing all old friends from church...later on we sat outside with harvey, maricar and patrick...then who shows up? surprise surprise! alexis and his bro chris! and like i mentioned before, chris resembles edward norton! haha anyways, what more could you want? good food, drink, great music, relaxing place, and friends by your side. aaah i luv manila. the relaxed, laid back side of it all.
Congratulations Sound! don't forget us when you're famous! :)

aaah i just remembered this day when we threw a birthday party for ria here in the dorm. that door you see on the left side of the picture is my dorm room door. Even if we had to wake up for an 8am class the next day we still stayed up till around 4am or something. Still, it was the best and most well-attended party of our class =)
thanks for the pic, vince!

i should paint again.
tomorrow is my interview with 3M. I got to do my research last night about the company and i'm both excited and nervous. I hope i get it. It would be cool to work for an american company again. Especially one that loves innovation. I like boosting my creative juices. hehe
i watched Just Married the other day...twice! i watched it first with my friends, Marc and Frances. Then again with Joey. I liked the message though I hope kids in the states don't start getting married right away because of it's happy ending. problems don't end when you're married. Like it showed in the movie, that's the only time they actually start.
it had good relationship lessons. Like when you look at the picture album. You see all the happy times you spent together. The dad said: you don't see the sad times because you don't have pictures of those. But you have to realize that it's those bad times that get you to one happy moment and the next. Ashton's character was frustrated because things didn't go according to his and her plan for their marriage/honeymoon. But like the dad said, you don't always get what you want. You have to learn to overcome what you're dealt. I like that. Something to live by. I should remember that from now on.
Too bad I didnt get to watch Gangs of New York because I had an important meeting. I heard it was really good. I'm excited to see the fight scenes after all the raving about Daniel Day Lewis. The gore doesn't frighten me...i like Braveheart and Gladiator! :)

this weekend was the first time i spent all three days and nights in the dorm. it's like living in my own apartment without my roommates. Though I can imagine that when i have my own place i wouldn't stop fixing it. hehe.
well, everything else that happened has been a complete contradiction. The past few days have been both really happy and really sad. Funny how so many things can happen in just a short time.
sniff.
just when you think everything is going right, something comes and bursts your bubble. Why can't life be simple?
Wish the war would end. There's too much sadness in the world, why add to it? It's hard already just finding a reason to wake up in the morning. Then when you finally decide to get up, you realize there's a war. More reasons for others to just curl up again and go to sleep until it's all over.
Right now i want to just sleep and not feel sad. I don't want to wake up until i'm happy again. If only I had that choice. But school leaves me with not many choices anymore. Responsibility has to come before sanity. I don't even have time to cry.
