10 Things Girls hate about Boys

Five things girls hate about boys:

YOU'RE INSENSITIVE. We're bawling our eyes out because our dog chewed up our trigonometry homework (it happens!), we've got a huge zit on our nose, and we spotted our crush holding hands with some girl in the mall yesterday! When you come along and spot us all teary-eyed, you do one of the two: a) bolt out of there like you're training for the Olympics, and you're late for practice; or b) ask "Hey, why is your face all red? You allergic to something? Oh, you've got a pimple on your nose!" And then, you laugh your head off.
Guys: We are not intentionally insensitive. We do it because there are times when we're not sure what we're supposed to say. After all, we're not, repeat, NOT mind readers. Tears make us uncomfortable and unsure of ourselves, so rather than say something really dumb, we stick to the things we do best: a) avoid trouble, or b) try to elicit a laugh. Granted, those two approaches have a track record like Scary Spice's solo career, but it's programmed into our systems, so unless we learn a new way of doing things, our skins remain iron-like.

YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN GIRLS. At math, sports, driving, video games, and basically just about everything. When you see someone having difficulty parking a car, you say in disbelief; "A guy wouldn't be that stupid!" Then, the dawning of enlightenment shines upon you as you catch the driver's feminine features, "Oh, it's a girl." It's as if we're allowed to make mistakes because we're of the inferior gender. And when we demand to know why you think this way, you just shrug your shoulders and say, "Because it's true.' Oh, help!
Guys: Well, it is true! Just kidding! There are a lot of thing girls do better than boys, like...well, you talk really well. But you have to admit, attitudes are changing. What girls couldn't do before, they're now doing better than most guys. Heck, I know Lisa Leslie could beat me in a game of basketball any time. It's just that doing everything guys do occasionally robs us of the chance to be the classic knights-in-shining-armor. What better excuse is there to make pa-cute? to a girl than to ask if she needs help with her math, sports, driving, etc.? It makes us feel a bit better about our poor selves, so give us a break. Oh, and watch the road!

YOU'RE IRRESPONSIBLE. Woe unto the girl who is paired with a boy on a major project! We know what you say when you pick group mates! "Let's work with a girl so we don't have to do anything!" So what happens to us when we're stuck with you guys? We turn into nags (and contrary to what you think, we hate that!): "Don't be late for the meeting!" "Stop fooling around, start, working!" and "Why aren't you doing your share of the work?"
Guys: This is one instance wherein we will freely admit that girls can do a better job than guys. Girls are much better at making presentations and things like that because you're more conscientious. Plus, teachers like it better when they know girls made their report. We'd rather have a job done right than do it ourselves and spoil the whole thing.

YOU THINK YOU CAN CHARM YOUR WAY INTO OUR HOMEWORK (OR ANYTHING ELSE!). You're best at this: making pa-cute! With your heads leaning on our shoulders, the brightness of your smiles, all that bola on how we're the prettiest, smartest, and sweetest girls you've ever known. And all because you need our homework, the number of our best friend, or some money. And the sad part is, more often than not, you get away with it. Sigh.
Guys: And that's why we do it: because it works! Seriously, though, would anyone-girl or guy-want to be asked for something in a manner that is more sour than sweet? Besides, girls do this even better. How many times has a guy acquiesced to do a girl's homework or help her study for a test the next day, despite a personal schedule crammed with PS2 sessions and ESPN marathons? A few sweet words and a head leaning on our shoulder, and we're all yours. Don't upset the status quo!

YOU THINK OGLING GIRLS IS YOUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT. As much as you think you were created to help out us damsels in distress, you guys believe that in exchange for your strong arms and sharp wit, you are totally entitled to ogle girls as if we were toys on display. When you talk about a girl, it's all about her body. Maybe one percent will be about her personality, then you revert back to her short skirts and tight shirts.
Guys: Asking us not to look at girls in the aforementioned garb is like asking shoppers not to notice beautiful, tastefully executed store windows. Yes, this sounds terrible, but we do have eyes. But it's really all talk for most of us, since we're more afraid of rejection than anything (except maybe flying cockroaches).

Five things boys hate about girls:


You take too long to get ready to go out! Say we agree on a date or a gimmick at 8 pm. We get there at 7:50, and proceed to wait for 30 minutes or more while you do God-knows-what in the bathroom. Thankfully, the results are usually worth it. Still, we wish you'd make us wait for a period shorter than the time it takes for our carefully shaved facial hair to grow back.

You expect us to be mind readers. There are few things more stressful for a guy than to have a girl he's with suddenly pout and throw a fit for reasons unfathomable. If you've got a problem, no matter how trivial, tell us so we can do something about it.

Girls can be so wishy-washy when making decisions. One minute you want the tempura, then after ordering, you suddenly crave for sea urchin. This also goes for relationships: you can be so into us, then suddenly change gears and act colder than an Aztec in Alaska. Couple that with the mind reading bit, and Houston, we have a problem.

Girls can also make pa-cute to get anything they want. How many females have gotten out of traffic violations and such just by acting cute and innocent? All you have to do is pout and speak in that little-girl voice you do so well, and boys are putty in your scheming hands. Help!

Gossip, for girls, is the national sport, religion, and food all rolled into one. Sure, guys thrive on sports and competition, but we're pretty sure that's way healthier than living on the latest news about Buffy and the problems she's having with her boy Muffy. And then you hate it when people talk about you behind your back. Like Alanis said, "Isn't it ironic?"

Elizabethtown

  The first time I watch this movie, I got inspired and touched by the scenes, the tracks plus my fave Orlando Bloom was in the character.


 After causing the Oregon shoe company he works for to lose hundreds of millions of dollars, Drew Baylor (Bloom) is fired for his mistake, and promptly also dumped by his girlfriend, Ellen. On the verge of suicide, Drew is oddly given a new purpose in life when he is brought back to his family's small Kentucky hometown of Elizabethtown following the death of his father, Mitch, as it falls to him to make sure that his dying wishes are fulfilled. On the way home, Drew meets a flight attendant, Claire Colburn (Dunst), with whom he falls in love, in a romance that helps his life get back on track...


  The project is intended to be a love letter to the resilience of the life force and is a story of an unexpected romance that develops against the backdrop of a Southern patriarch's hilariously elaborate memorial.

maudlin in serenity

Thoughts of you impedes in
me
With the constellations over me.
Makes me warm though winds are
cold
Makes me smile while grief enfolds

Here I am wondering when
you'll come,
You left me here all empty.
Here I am all alone staring
staring at the sky
To think those memories you left behind

The
love song's beat resound my pulse
Singing the same song for you.
It feels
so good reminiscing those things,
I am with you.

And now, it
seems you'll never come
I'm trying to leave all those behind
Your touch,
your care, all of these will left
Just as you left a mark in my
heart,
That says you become a part of my life.
(song to naruto)

bEfoRE lettinG me Go...

I love you so... that's why I set you free...

I almost forgot the song... the lyrics... the meaning. I almost overlooked it. But last night, it invades the airwaves. I never thought playing it again, the track 007 in my compact disc. Everything flashed back. Is it loving when it means setting one free? I asked this a million times and yet there's no answer. It is really difficult saying "I love you" while letting one go. HOw is loving when there's no one to love? It's difficult to answer but some sides convince me that it is... to love is to set free. Letting one free, for him to be happy and I guess it's a selfless love. Indeed, a selfless love!

He did it for me. And he gave this track before letting me go.
"I must go... play the seventh track, it's for you."
So I did. I have no idea what's in theseventh track. I finally
played theseventh track and the lines invades the airwaives.

I could still remember yesterday
We were so in love in a special way
And knowing that you love me makes me
Feel oh so rightBut now I feel lost
Don't know what to doEach and everyday
I think of you
Holding back the tears
I'm trying with all my might
Refrain 1:
Because you're gonna leave me standing
All aloneAnd I know I've got to face tomorrow on my own
But baby before I let you go I want to say
I love you
I hope that you're listening coz it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do, yeah
So before I let you go I want to sayI love you...hmmm... I wish that it would be just
Like beforeI know I could have given you so
Much more
Even though you know I'd give the
New one, my love
I miss your smile;
I miss your kiss
Each and everyday I'll ever miss
Coz baby it's you that I'm always
Dreaming of
Refrain 2:
Because you're gonna leave me standing
All aloneAnd I know I've got to face tomorrow on My own
But baby before I let you go I want to say
I love you
I hope that you're listening coz it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do, yeah
So before I let you go, I want to say, yeah
Bridge:Letting you go is never easy
But I love you so
That's why I'll set you free, yeah
And I know, someday, somehow,
I'll find the way
To leave them all behind me
Give it all beneath to keep it baby
Refrain 3:
Before I let you go, I want to say
I love you
I hope that you're listening
Coz it's true, baby
You'll be forever in my heart
And I know that no one else will do, yeah
So before I let you go I want to say...
So before I let you go I want to say...I love you


I never missed a single word. He meant it. I remembered those days we're together. He used to put flowers in my bag after flag ceremonies. I first touched the guitar because of him. He made me feel special. But he thought it's not right. And so, he set me free because he loved me so.

He is now a part of my memory. And as long as theseventh track lives in me, he will never be forgotten.

He loves me so... that's why he set me free.
