Until now typhoon "Ondoy" which hit the Philippine island particularly Luzon is still such a nightmare to all Filipinos. That rain is really wild. "Ondoy" is indeed crazy. I'm very affected every time I'm watching television and seeing my countrymen suffer, yearn and even died because of the monstrous typhoon.
I'm really thankful to God above because we we're not affected by the typhoon like what others had experienced. I can't imagine myself being in that situation at all. I can feel their agony of losing almost everything that they have with regards to their assets and what's worst losing their loved ones in an instant.

I agree on what many news anchor says that the hardest part of this tragedy is the recovery phase. Coz' if you can observe many organization and personalities are extending their help through financial assitance as of now. But i'm wondering what will happen to these victims after a week from now, a month or even a year from now. First on the financial and assets damages for each victim. Most of them lost their business and investment due to the 3 storey blg high flood. i can imagine how much hardships and money these people spent to be able to establish and earn these properties which was damaged in just a matter of one day. All of them doesnt know how and where to start their lives all over again.

I just hope a lot more of helping hands will extend their help up until these people will be able to live a normal life again. I'm hoping for a fast recovery for each and every Filipino who has been suffering from a Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PSD).

do you know what a choosy piggy bank is?

I read one blog regarding this and I smiled after reading it because i used to do the same thing with my own piggy bank. The idea of this piggy bank is that you only choose what type of coin/bill you want to drop into you piggy bank to save money. It can be 1, 5, 10 (coins), 20 or 50 bill. For me coins are much exciting. :)

Well, This is not a "big time" type of saving since for me I just did it for fun. What I picked are ten peso coins. It was really fun because my own rule is that, I will not really spent every ten peso coin that I have no matter what happened. I see to it that i will save it in my bank. My college, friends who knew that i was saving my ten peso coins even forced me to exchange their ten peso coins for my bills since they knew I'm really into collecting ten peso coins.

It's really nice to look at those ten peso coins since it silver and gold.

You can try it as well. You'll be surprised how much those ten peso coin will be after you enjoyed collecting it. Just make sure you won't let it exceed upto 500-1000 pesos because what happened to me is that i almost saved 2500 php which I really had a hard time exchanging it for bills when I already wanted to use it. My tip for you is try to set it per month so that after every month you'll have some money to buy yourself something fancy :)

( as i've read on an on-line MAG)

Porn

I'll be the first to admit that I own so much porn that I have "organizing sessions" where I delete and file it on the computer. Guys are very matter-of-fact about porn, and it's part of our lives before we ever get into a serious relationship.

It becomes an issue when porn becomes a bigger part of someone's sex life than their significant other. An old girlfriend of mine didn't have sex as much as I wanted to, but I didn't confront her. I ended up turning to porn instead. It probably would have been more productive to confront her in a constructive way, but i took a different way out. But, because porn helps satisfy sexual urges, one could argue that this alternate source of release helps prevent cheating.

An "Online Companion"

Suppose your significant other meets someone online. They begin communicating more and more, and eventually it gets romantic. This might even graduate to phone conversations or a clandestine meeting.

Connecting with another person romantically, even if it begins online, is a form of cheating in my book. The very nature of building a relationship through conversation adds a spiritual/mental component to the relationship beyond physical attraction.

Seeing An Ex

This has a lot to do with how much your significant other knows. Plenty of exes remain in our lives as friends, but it becomes an issue when we see them in secret. Even if nothing serious happens, there is potential for old flames to rise again. And, if it's totally innocent, there's no reason to avoid telling your significant other that you are hanging out with your ex.

A "Work Spouse"

My married friend was telling me about a person at work they'd "love to have sex with". They work together on many projects, get drinks after work, and have become close personal friends. In work situations, it's inevitable that people will get close. They have a lot in common, feel the same pain from the annoying boss, and go to one another for support in the office and in life outside the office.

The "work spouse" is a common phenomenon. My friend Margaret is my "work wife" but it's completely platonic. We argue like husband and wife. She supports me with advice and even fixed a hole in my jeans once (I really can't sew). As long as it remains platonic, "work spouse" relationships are rewarding and strong.

Fantasizing

Fantasizing/thinking about other people is natural and there's nothing we can do about it. There are thoughts, then words, then actions. As long as thoughts remain thoughts and don't evolve into actions, there shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure all of my girlfriends have thought of someone else while we were dating. I just do my best not to worry about it and, as long as I don't know about it about I'm fine (unless she's fantasizing about someone annoying like John Mayer- I just can't have that).

It's easier, sometimes, to vent to someone else instead of addressing a difficult issue about your relationship with your significant other. It's a good policy to steer clear from speaking to friends of the opposite gender about weaknesses in your relationship. Your best friend should also be your significant other, so why not bring up deep issues concerning your relationship directly to your them and work on it all together?

What other activities would you say could be considered cheating, but may not be considered cheating? Which of the above would you consider cheating?

My friend just told me that there's a new craze when speaking of footwear. It's PLUEYS ... hmm it's just simply rainboots with the a new and cool touch. Now i wonder will it be a hit like havainas or crocs? In my own opinion it won't be so much patronized here in the Philippines since we're not really into boots at all. Well, that doesn't mean I don't like boots. In fact, I really long to have lots of them specially korean inspired boots.

Plueys are nice but it just doesn't fit my style and I'm not comfortable wearing rain boots at all. hehe parang ang init nya kasi .

but if i have to choose one, I'd rather have this one >


Or eto nlng for everyday use -
