No Need to Rush, My Co-NBSB Ladies ;)

My friend showed me a pocketbook that really caught my eyes. Tips? Ways? I asked her what's it and she told to just read it anyway, after her. It's in Filipino language and I'm not really fond of reading pocketbooks that are in that language and honestly, I don't like love stories. Oooh, bad me, huh? Eh kasi, wala lang. Fiction, non-fiction, and fairytales kasi gusto ko, like JK Rowling's Harry Potter (my favorite) and the like. Well, there's a set of love stories that are common books na Filipino, that my friends used to read. Kinikilig talaga sila eh. Pero, I never dared to read one. Hahaha, ewan ko lang. Iba ang type ko. There are exemptions naman. It depends. Hahaha.

Anyway, she told me that it's more of advices from the author. It was during our session in one of our subjects that I started to introduce myself to the book. Right from the title of it, my attention was in to it. I got interested, of course. Indeed, it's more of a collection of questions from the people and answers from the author. It's quite funny because the author answers them very frankly and it's good. Some fits to my status and some doesn't. I'd stopped reading it, anyway, because of my busy life with the assignments and family and friends. I have to balance them all, so I set aside my reading hobby. But now, right after I opened Youtube, my eyes were caught again by the title "Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo Trailer". A movie? The title's quite familiar to me. I clicked it and knew it was indeed based on the book of Ramon Bautista. That's it. I watched the trailer and liked it. I shared it on my facebook and I pasted the url here in my blog. You have to watch it. This somehow may be like your story, or may entertain you, while you are still single. I'm excited to watch the movie and be inspired. I don't know bakit kinikilig ako to movies like this. Siguro, wish ko lang talaga na maging ganyan kakilig ang ever first lovelife ko in the future, like in one of the kilig movies I've watched. Siguro nga 'noh? Sana nga.

But right now, I came to realize how unique and enjoying my life is without trying to have a boyfriend. It's like I'm free to sway with my friends and dance with the wind. No guy would scold me to stop acting like that and like this, but the guy is only until judging me or whatsoever, that I don't even care. Hahaha, maybe it's the reason why nobody wanted to court me. They said I'm too picky and my standards in choosing a guy are can't be reached. Haha, that's wrong, okay? Nobody just knows what kind of guy I really like and when I'm completely be ready. I do have a crush but he doesn't seem to notice me and doesn't care. I don't know. I had a crush before who also had a crush on me. It's cool. He courted me after months but unfortunately, he's not my crush anymore. So, I didn't let him take a move. Right now, he's my barkada. Galing 'noh? Hehehe. Highschool pa ako niyan and now in my college life, wala pa.

Anyway, I'm excited for that guy for me, in the future. It's surprising, right? So, girls na No Boyfriend Since Birth, let's just wait. There's no need to rush. Enjoy being single. And make most of the time. I won't look for that guy because if he is really my destiny, then he will just come near me, right?

Simple Ways to Earn Friends

Smile. This is the ever first advice that anybody could tell if you ask how to make friends with people. It is quite true. As easy as a simple smile to anyone who meets your eyes, will lift a spirit to show confidence to you. But in some cases, he might won't smile back because he's in doubt that the smile isn't for him but probably for a person behind him. A smile is just an introduction of showing that you are approachable. Are you really friendly? Being friendly is not seen if you always frown and just smile if someone looks at you. So, my advice, carry a blooming face wherever you go. Although, it's not very easy to keep on blooming if you are carrying heavy problems and frets, but just try to lessen the cross of your eyebrows and the weight of your cheeks, so people will not see you pitiful or strict, or anything negative they could think about you. Well, it's not really good for them to judge you but somehow, you have to show that no matter how big your frets are, you still can conquer those and that, they will see you brave and jolly. Build the confidence in you. Think positive. Your aim is to gain good friends so start making friends with yourself. Don't ever always frown or show that you are weak. Blink your eyes and carry up your cute cheeks and then just take a deep breath. Bloom. Carry your shoulders and walk freely. Just go along and whoever meets you, smile. You would know if they want your smile because they stare at you. You might probably meet friendly faces, or judgmental ones but ignore them, and instead, smile back to them.

If someone asks a question, answer the person politely. Talk to him in a kind way with your sweet smile, but not so sweet that he might think you have a feeling or crush to him. (Let's just use "him" as someone.) Just be simple and talk confidently. Ignore your goosebumps if you get nervous that you might approach back to him falsely. Answer him the simplest answer though. Or if the situation is vice versa, then just do the same and never forget to show gratitude if he's done answering you.

Practice this often at school. Don't pretend to act someone that you are not. Like if you think that the person who has beautiful and expensive accessories are more respected and noticed than to those who are simple, then you are completely wrong. Remember that you should show the person the reality of you so he won't expect more to you and if you befriended him already, show who you really are and improve some personality of yours that would amaze him and appreciates you more, like singing him the song he likes (as if it is unintentional), if he doesn't know that you're good in singing.

Let's say that you already met a friend, still a casual yet. Talk to him less and listen to him more. Show to him that you are happy listening to him. Give reactions and comments that would not always contradict to his interests. Disagree with him if you really disagree to his statements. Through this, the two of you will have more ideas to argue and share. Just be careful that contradicting to him to please you is not always healthy. Notice your conversation that if it's about to end, and you don't like to end it yet, ask him if he still has other concerns to do and if none, then that's the time for you to comment something that would keep your conversation stay long for a while. Ask questions if you have nothing to comment. Make jokes. A serious conversation is boring, right? So, initiate a joke if you have one related to the topic.

Be sincere to him always. Whatever secrets he shares, keep it. Don't tell your other friends, unless if he does not signal you that it's a secret and really controversial. Though you are not close with him yet, but he already tells you a secret, it means that he is either testing you of how good you are as a friend, or he is trusting you because his instinct tells him that you are trustworthy, or maybe both. Now, this is the start for a good friendship.

Be blooming. Be smiling. Be kind. And be who you are. These are the simple ways to gain friends. I do these and are very effective. I am like this, anyway, because I had started these techniques since I was a child. I believe that once you started something, and it happens again and again, because it helps you a lot, then it will become your attitude. So, start it now. Just try it, will you?

Appreciate and smile. :)

I laugh, talk loud and ignore the people around as I walk along the road at our school with my friends. We're heading off to somewhere we could stay for a while before going home. Was I doing it again? It was quite unpleasant for me to do it, though I enjoyed with them. They're my great friends whose mouths couldn't simply stop on talking and laughing. I love them because they're fun to be with. I was just surprised to behave that way, even if I am doing it since I met them in my college life. Why am I sharing this to you? I don't know either. This idea just came out from my mind and write it here anyway.

Sometimes, we don't know why we do this and do that as long as we enjoy doing it but at the end of the day, we then wonder why we have done it. It might be embarrassing or something we wish we shouldn't have done but life is too short and whatever things we meet along, we just have to grab some of those that would give us the reason to smile. Like what I'd written on the first paragraph, I knew that my behavior may not be pleasing to anybody but I don't care as long as I laugh and enjoy with them because who knows, it might be my last laughter with them. And the reflection comes after I'm already alone, writing my diary in my bedroom. I always tell myself to not do it again because I don't look like a decent lady, yet I can't avoid. I wonder why. I didn't grow to behave that way but I think I change. Well, I thought of it as my new life.

My seriousness to my studies doesn't change anyway. It's just my way of socializing to people and making them happy somehow, with me. I am flattered, actually. I like the way they treat me because they make me feel like a high school buddy again, although, there are obviously some changes. I feel so me that I wanna treat them ice-cream. Hehehe! I just couldn't afford two gallons.

Keep appreciating people because it's one way to make you look beautiful in all ways you do. Even if you are not willing to appreciate, just try it and you might feel something light and good. I do that and it's true. I don't just make myself good but also them, of course. Keep smiling and you'll be surprised how inspired you are because of them. Don't think a negative result of you'll do but think that it's your last thing to do for them. Try to look up and smile. God is just there to nod and sign you that you're doing fine. How? Feel His presence. How? Well, look at them and read their smiles. How again? Smile back and talk to them. A lot of great things are learned from them. Just be you  and be positive. Alright? I'll do it, so we'll be fair. Hehehe!
