mozzarella or queso de bola?

im telling you, this is going to be cheesy.
i saw this video of homer and marge and i suddenly had the urge to post it here.



i had arthur on my mind the whole time i was watching the vid. (cheesy!)
we've been together for almost five years and i'm so glad that he's still there for me. even though we fight a lot, that doesn't mean we're not happy. we may not have the perfect relationship, but i'm glad that we learned to embrace each other's imperfections.

a lot of people say that high school romances don't last long. even our teachers before told us that we should not get serious. i just shrugged my shoulders. i just told myself "this too, shall pass."

and it did. highschool ended but our romance did not. :D im so glad i didn't listen to them. other couples from highschool broke up, but we kept our relationship united. although there are a lot of problems that hit our relationship, we decided to stay beside each other and conquer them all.

people have been asking us what our secret is in keeping the relationship alive. but we don't have a definite answer to that. even the two of us can't believe we're still together. we fight almost everyday because of simple things. but the good thing is, we always make sure we fix things first before the day ends.

another good thing is that we're each other's best friend. we sure know whenever the other has something to say but couldn't, whenever the other has a problem, or not in the mood. i guess that's one ingredient in a happy relationship - being good friends.

between the two of us, he's the stronger. i always talk a lot, but he's usually silent during fights. i'm maarte, he's simple. i'm a big spender, he's thrifty. i hate veggies, while he can live without meat. and the "opposite" list goes on and on..

i guess, opposites do attract! just like charges and poles. haha!

there's one thing i really love about arthur, he's as sweet as candy. :D
he always makes me feel im special.
he tells me im beautiful any weight i am.
he always takes care of me.
he stays up late just to text me, and wakes up early to be the first to greet me good morning.
he always holds my hand when we walk, and gets it again whenever i let go.
he combs my hair whenever i don't feel like fixing it.
he ties my shoestrings for me.
he hugs me when i cry.
he never fails to make me laugh at his corny jokes.
he reminds me that God is always there for me when he's not beside me.
he tells me to obey my parents.
he patiently listens to my never-ending nonsense stories.
he shows me how beautiful life is.
and a whole lot more.

i'm one lucky girl, am i not?

yesterday, he sent me a message that almost melted my heart.
"beh.. thanks sa lahat.. kaw na lang nakakaintindi sakin."

i know that he has a lot of problems, and i feel that i'm an additional burden to his life. but i was wrong, and i felt so much happy when he let me know i'm actually making the situation easier for him. *teary eyed*

aah! can i get any cheesier than i am right now?! i don't want to sound like patay na patay.. but that's how i feel. hehe

this is getting too embarrassing. haha! enough of this cheesy topics!

i'm a cheeseball.
mozzarella or queso de bola?
you choose.

i wanna be a googler!

find out why here:
All this time, I thought that the reason why Google Company is the No. 1 company to work for is the fact that they provide the best search engine ever. But after reading the article, I realized that it was not the only reason why Google is the best. There’s more beyond to what they provide to users. It’s with the company’s culture that made a million people apply there yearly.

For many, Google is the best place to work for. Everything an employee needs is already there. Employees have fun while they work. It’s really no wonder why there is a tight competition between applicants that wanted to be a part of the company.

Where can you find a company that has a swimming pool, workout room with weights and rowing machine, locker rooms, washers and dryers, massage room, assorted video games, baby grand piano, pool table, and other recreation facilities? Not only that, the company also provides healthy lunches and dinners for all staff – all for free. Google is the dream company of every employee indeed.

Because of that, being accepted to the company is very much hard. The best and the most intelligent people are the ones who are accepted. Google is a collection of really smart people who are almost frighteningly single-minded. It sure knows how to make geeks feel good about being geeks.

However, being a part of the No. 1 company is not that easy. With all that benefits Google is providing its employees, a lot is also expected from them. Another thing is that, I think a person working at Google will find it hard to divide his time between work and family. Of course, once a person is already in Google, and enjoying the fun of working there, he’ll find it difficult to leave the office and spend time with his family.

But I still believe Google Company is the company I wanted to work for in the future. If I know that I can balance everything (working, having fun, spending time with family, and sleeping!), then I guess Google Company is the one for me. With all that free food, recreation activities, high salary (although it is not stated in the article how much an employee receives), and the thought that I’m working with the best and the most intelligent people in the world, Google is definitely the best company to work for!

That is if i get accepted - which is very much impossible. haha.
Oh well, dream on, salve! ;)

fake friends

a week ago, i deleted 350+ people on my friend's list on friendster. whew! it took me an hour to do that! that's half of what i got on my list the day before i did that!

and the reason? i don't know them. i'm a stranger to them, and so are they to me. i can't even tell their names just by looking at their photos. reading the "about me" portion on their profiles is not enough for me to know them. i guess that's not enough for me to consider them as friends.

goodness. that was so childish of me to approve and add everyone on friendster! that was so highschool!! i dunno. i only thought of having a lot of friends - so there i was approving every friend request i got from people i hardly even know.

i dunno why it was only now that i got to realize that i was sharing a lot of things i should not be sharing with people i don't know. although my profile is restricted to my friends only, i guess it was still an "open book" because i had so many friends that were "really not my friends".

what would i do to 700+ friends who would not be there when i need them, to people who wouldn't even bother to read my bulletin?

right now, i'm contented with my 365 friends whom i know will reply to my messages, read my bulletin, care to give me a testimonial, and will help me when the time comes i need their help. if you're one of those people i have on my friend's list, thanks for being a friend. you are loved by me. ;))

and for those people i deleted, i know you didn't even notice it! well, i'm sorry i have to delete you, you have to understand that i need privacy too. i don't need fake friends on friendster.


i guess i've changed a lot. i'm not "so highschool" anymore.

9 months later..

Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up in Jack's mini van and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard.

They pulled into a nearby farm and asked the attractive lady who answered the door if they could spend the night. "I realize its terrible weather out there and I have this huge house all to myself, but I'm recently widowed," she explained.

"I'm afraid neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house." "Don't worry," Jack said. "We'll be happy to sleep in the barn. And if the weather breaks, we'll be gone at first light." The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the barn and settled in for the night.

Come morning, the weather had cleared, and they got on their way. They enjoyed a great weekend of skiing.

About nine months later, Jack got an unexpected letter from an attorney. It took him a few minutes to figure it out, but he finally determined that it was from the attorney of that attractive widow he had met on the ski weekend.

He dropped in on his friend Bob and asked, "Bob, do you remember that good-looking widow from....

"Yes, I do."

"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to the house and pay her a visit?"

"Yes," Bob said, a little embarrassed about being found out. "I have to admit that I did." "And did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your name?"

Bob's face turned red and he said, "Yeah, sorry, buddy. I'm afraid I did. Why do you ask?"

"She just died and left me everything."

haha. ;))
