dear calendar

My desk calendar here at work had been my constant companion and partner this year. It has been a living witness as to how busy I was and still is until now, and up to the future. Looking at the things I have to accomplish and had accomplish made me smile and I thought then that the times spent had been so worthwhile.  It has also been a witness as to the things I looked forward to and celebrated back then, like birthdays, reunions, gimiks, get-togethers, family gatherings, out of towns, and so on. Thus, I came to realize how the year has been so busy for me. I did a lot actually. And I would say 2012 has been a very fruitful year.

I guess my calendar also made me realize how my relationship this year had been so fleeting, transitory, ephemeral. I met him, we dated, he vanished, went back to my life, patched things up, tried things out together, then called it quits, and he wanted to be back, till he was gone again. All in a span of even less than a year. It was the most whirlwind of all relationships, I would say. It was like yesterday when I met him, and before I knew it, in a blink of an eye, he was out of my life. :(

But the good thing about looking at it is I was able to breakthrough and write more goals for each month. As it is, there is just one month before the year ends, and I would say that I am facing each day with a happier heart. I have just made my November goal almost come true, and the one for my December is soon to be a reality. I'm becoming less of a pessimist right now, and that's one thing I am proud of.

The year is about to be another closed-chapter and I have to change calendars again. I am not really sad about how 2012 turned out despite the heartbreaking things which happened. Instead, I am overly excited about the surprises 2013 has in store for me. As I prepare myself for a new calendar for the upcoming year, I also am anticipating for the new things to accomplish and look forward to. I can feel it that something ultra-mega special will take place next year. 2013 is the year to LOVE. :D

So thank you dearest calendar. You have really served your purpose well. Cheers to a great year spent with you. One more month, and we can make my dreams come true.

and of course,

Hello 2013!!!

Always,

Len :P

Sam YG’s Fashion Deal Breakers And More

from: http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/blogs/ph-stylefactor/sam-yg-fashion-deal-breakers-more-094854762.html

Boys Night Out DJ and TV host Sam YG is probably an expert—on girls that is, even if he denies it. "As a matter of fact, ako nga ang laging na hu-hurt," he says. But all is fair in love and war, and there is always a lesson to be learned. Style Factor asks this soldier of love what exactly are the deal breakers when it comes to women. Time to get your pens and papers ready girls!

What makes a girl irresistible to a guy?
When it comes to fashion, it's not just what a girl wears but how she wears it that makes her irresistible. A woman who exudes confidence is always sexy!

Do sexy outfits always work on men?
Dressing sexy is one thing but being classy is another. A woman doesn't need to show too much skin to look hot. It's all about the X-factor. Actions speak louder than clothes. A girl could be in a shirt and jeans, and still look sexy if she knows how to bring it.

How should a girl dress if she's looking into impressing a guy?
Do make an effort to look good but don't compromise comfort and your personality. Make sure you leave enough room for his imagination—some gigil and the pa-next factor; yung gusto ka niya ulit makita next time.

What is your general take on makeup?
Makeup is cool but overdoing it could turn out to be a disaster. In the words of great conyos: make sure you make bagay the makeup to the occasion. Leave room for your natural beauty.

What kind of girls will boys take seriously?
I think every guy has different wants and needs when it comes to finding the right girlaloo but here's a basic principle: how you act determines how you will be treated.  If you want men to see you as the pang-seryosotype, make sure you act like one. On the other hand, if you put yourself out there too much, you may be perceived as malandi. A woman who knows what she wants is always a turn-on, the ideal PIKM (Pwedeng Iuwi Kay Mommy) type.

What do you think a girl should wear on a first date?
I suggest a girl puts on a HOHOLicious (a person na masarap ka Hang Out Hang Out) outfit. Make sure you are comfortable with what you're wearing. I'd actually advise that you put on one of your all-time favorite ensembles—something that you know would bring out the best in you. If you plan to make lamon, wag mashadong mag-body fit. Avoid showing too much on the first date. Baka kung saan ka dalin ni boylaloo.

Is it advisable to MOMOL (Make Out Make Out Lang) on the first date? 
I wouldn't want to put any rules on whether to MOMOL or not on the first date. If it feels right then go for it. Never waste a good moment or a good MOMOL for that matter. Always keep in mind that MOMOL does not mean love. Once you get the two mixed up, it could lead to a heart failure. Also remember that you're only as good as your last MOMOL.

What are the most likely annoying things a girl can do when out with a guy?
Talk on the phone, text ng text, be too clingy, start a lover's quarrel. If she panics kasi walang WiFi and she can't tweet, malala na yan. Sa internet cafe nalang kayo mag-date. You can buy the most expensive things but you can't buy class. Act like a lady and you'll be treated like one.

Is there such a thing as too maarte? 
I believe being maarte has a lot to do with a girl's upbringing. Not all laking-aircon girls are maarte. Others girls like to play arte-artehan—they pretend to have conyo problems kahit wala naman talaga. A girl's artefactor would depend on the guy and people she hangs out with. What some would find maarte, others would find normal. In short, weather weather lang yan.

Are looks that important to men?
Of course. Before you even talk or get to know a girlaloo, the first thing you notice is her physical appearance. Looks are something but they're definitely not everything. Looks cannot sustain the kilig for a long time. Down the road, the physical will fade and you'll look for something deeper. I'd rather have a girlaloo I could have a decent conversation with. Somebody passionate about life and what she does. If a girl can make my brain kilig, winner yan.
