Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything. You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey. You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.

What Color Should Your Blog or Journal Be?

Hmmm.... so do you guys think I should change the color of our blog?!?!

Get well soon..

The other day, Gel told me that Maan's mom was admitted in the hospital. There were no further details. I couldn't get through Maan. I just hope and pray that tita will be all right.

What we learned about relationships....

Ten types of relationships that won't work!!!

• you care about your partner more than he cares about you
• your partners cares about you more than you do about him
• you are inlove with your partner's potential
• you are on a rescue mission
• you look up to your partner as a role model
• you are infatuated with your partner for external reasons
• you have partial compatibility
• you choose your partner in order to be rebellious
• you choose a partner as a reaction to your previous partner
• your partner is unavailable

Six biggest mistakes we make in the beginning of a relationship

• we don't ask enough questions
• we ignore warning signs of potential problems
• we make premature compromises
• we give into lust blindness
• we give into material seduction
• we put commitment before compatibility

Seven wrong reasons to be in a relationship

• pressure (age, family, friends, etc)
• loneliness and desperation
• sexual hunger
• distraction from your own life
• to avoid growing up
• guilt to fill up your emotional or spiritual emptiness

What's in a name?

Our group... B.U.D.O.N.G. Why the name? A lot have asked us that question. I did a google search to see what Budong is. And this was what I found:

• Budong : a sofa with a unique design feature: the ends of the seat and back section are angled up. Super easy to transform between sofa and bed, the Budong is a fantastic solution for any possible stay over guests.
• Budong : The largest living creature in the Uncharted Territories. A creature that eats ships (if one is found alive); from the Farscape TV Series. An alien-like whale. Budongs are humongous space-borne creatures very rarely found alive. Their corpses though are rich in a valuable crystal hence the mining operation.

• Budong : Budong-Budong is a Seko language spoken in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
• Budong : In Kalinga Apayao, meaning "peace pact".
• Budong : tagalog word for 'group' or 'team' ; usually coined for small groups of soldiers or vigilants. From the 1986 tagalog movie "Balweg, The Rebel Priest".

  The story of Father Conrado Balweg, a Catholic priest who began his revolutionary career in 1979. He defended the ancestral land rights of the
  Tinggians, of Abra Province in the Cordillera Mountains of Northern Luzon,
  against government-backed mining operations. Abondoned by the Church and hunted by the government, he goes underground and joins the Communist Party of the Philippines/New People's Army.

  

• Budong : our group' s name.. actually started as a mockery or as a joke after watching the movie "Balweg" (for our Sociology class) when I was caught wearing an (almost) army-green photographer's vest to school. The name stuck, and in turn, we made it into an acronym...

Above is perhaps the earliest photo (if Gel could come up with an earlier one!) I've got of the budong, taken during our 4th year college retreat in Antipolo (1989). From the top row, left to right.. Nannette, Its, Gel and Maan. Bottom row, left to right, Sylvia, Bambie, Tetet and that's me, Yang.

Oh, did I answer the question yet?

Budong = group, team, pact, stylish, comfortable, accomodating, unique, diverse, wierd (alien-like?!?), witty, funny, etc. etc. etc. get it?!?

A day of firsts

Today I told myself: I will do things that I have always planned on doing but never got around to doing. I figured, I am not getting any younger and if I don't do it now, I may regret it. So today, I went for a facial and had a foot spa.
