Flirt with me!!!

So someone looked your way, now how do you know when to approach, how to start a conversation, et cetera – or, for that matter, if you should approach at all? And if you liked someone, but want to be approached, instead of doing the approaching yourself, what signals should you be sending?Having been both an approachee (the one who waits, the big pa-girl) and an approacher (the risk-taker, the daredevil), here are some of the finer points I have noticed – thereby sorted as semi-rules to follow when you have decided what you want to be.

APPROACHEE

Rule 1: Smile. Just because someone looked your way doesn’t necessarily mean you are liked by that person (maybe you still have pesto stuck between your teeth). To test the water, so to speak, smile. If you get a smile back, that still wouldn’t mean he likes you. So smile more – and wider this time. If his smile widens, too, then there may just be something there.

Rule 2: Don’t stare. Only ugly people stare. That’s not a joke, but a statement of a fact. Beautiful people (why they’re the “approachees”) give furtive glances, no more. It teases the approacher, and, at the same time, provides the approachee with ample time to look if the tentative smiles are returned, so the next steps can be taken.

Rule 3: Wink. Another way to test the water, albeit more blatant. This is somewhat optional, however, since not that many can wink sexily.

Rule 4: Nod gently. If somewhat sure the target is returning the flirting, nod gently – this should encourage them to approach you.

Rule 5: Shake head while smiling. Sometimes the target thinks highly of himself because he was being flirted with, in the first place, so he immediately pretends to be disinterested (it thus becomes a battle of wills on who will stay as the approachee). When this happens, make sure to catch his attention again, and then smile at him (as naughtily as possible) while slightly shaking the head. Then give a somewhat longer-lasting look (still not a stare!).

Rule 6: Feign disinterest. Talk to your friends while occasionally looking his way. When you catch him looking back, forget the nice smile this time – give a flat smile, instead, coupled with a slight nod, before looking away to continue conversing with your friends. This is to tell him you have other people in your circle (he isn’t the only one in the party).

Rule 7: Accept the truth. After Rule 6, try Rule 1 (only Rule 1) again. If he still doesn’t take any steps, then he may not really interested in you in the first place – or is still feeling too beautiful for you, so is expecting for you to make the initial moves. If you don’t think he is worth it, move on.


APPROACHER

Rule 1: Smile. While looking around, smile – or at least look interested and interesting to what is happening around you. This way, you check what’s in the market, while, I bet, getting checked, too.

Rule 2: Wait for a reaction. In the interest of self-preservation, approach only those who may return whatever it is you are giving out (unless you are used to getting dumped), so wait for some signs, e.g. smiles, nods of acknowledgment, et cetera.

Rule 3: Always approach with caution. Even when you think you got the right signals, the approachee may just be playing with you, so approach with care (e.g. pretend to be just buying a drink at the bar, so you are just passing his way; or pretend to bump against him while dancing), and wait for even more signals (e.g. more glances, wider smiles, greetings, et cetera).

Rule 4: Have self-respect. If, at any point while talking to the other guy, you sense you are not really liked, the truth is you are not really liked. So just come up with some lame excuse (e.g. say “My fuck buddy’s just arrived” while nodding towards a drop dead gorgeous guy you will never, ever even be able to touch) and leave with whatever shred of dignity you can still hold on to.

Rule 5: Learn the art of dumping. Just because you are the one who approaches doesn’t mean you always have to be the one to be rejected. If, for any reason, you don’t find the target that nice up close, dump him – there are more to approach.

Come to think of it, why not just approach (for both approachees and approachers)? After all, paraphrasing a famous quote (of someone un-famous), “It’s better to have approached and have been dumped, than never to have approached at all.” Besides, not every one of us can be the approachee!

My Safety Plan for 2009



DO you know that any changes in your eating habits will affect your metabolic rate?

Gaining weight is deceptively easy, especially if you’re not alert. What to do?

1. When brushing teeth, scrape the surface of your tongue. Health experts believe this is the best way to reduce the amount of germs/bacteria and infections entering your body.

2. Balance the pH in your system. Drink something alkaline like a cup of warm water with a slice of lemon or 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or a glass of alkaline water.

3. For the next seven days, take a pinch of rock salt with a glass of water. Place it on top of your tongue, then drink up. Salt will help you keep hydrated. Take 10-12 glasses daily.

4. Be kind to your liver. Abstain from fatty foods and alcohol for one week.

Eat a handful of black grapes; it’s considered liver food.

Eat a fresh clove of garlic (mixed with food and not alone). Or take a capsule of garlic oil after meal.

Drink a glass of pure, fresh carrot and beat root juice.

Take 2 capsules of dandelion or fennel tea.

5. Aside from liver, the other major detox organ is the kidneys.

Go easy on commercially prepared beverages unless they are low in sugar and preservative free.

Drink coconut water up to two glasses a day.

Take a warm cup of water mixed with fresh, wild honey (from bees) or coconut honey (from coco flower nectar).

Drink a glass of cranberry juice.

Eat two slices of fresh melon in the morning. Note: Best to eat it alone and not to eat any other food 30 minutes before and after you consume it as it may cause indigestion.

6. Seaweed or kelp can help regulate your metabolism. You may want to add a generous serving of dried seaweed to your salad.

7. Manage your meal schedule. Eating on time will also manage your weight loss. Have breakfast early, not later than 9 a.m. Lunch should be finished by 2 p.m. Dinner ideally must be before 7 p.m. This schedule allows your body enough time to process food before the next meal.

Note: In a healthy body, the cycle of eating and defecating should be less than 24 hours. If it takes you 48 hours to move your bowels, you need to take your detoxification program more seriously.

8. Sweating helps especially if it’s through exercise. You may consider a dry or wet sauna twice a week.

9. Rest from cow’s milk this week. Goat or sheep’s milk is easier to digest. A new brand in the market is goat milk by Milk Star from Laguna. Or, go completely non-dairy with skimmed coconut milk freshly made by Cocohouse (tel. 4893166).

10. Stay away from acidic foods so as not to harm the liver, like spinach, oranges, tomatoes.

Avoid mushrooms because of too much fungus and peanuts/avocados due to their high-fat content. Bread contains gluten in wheat flour, so forego this temporarily. Lemons and grapefruits are good detox food because they are alkaline-producing foods once they enter the body.

Soothing foot soak

Mix in a pan of warm water, 2 tbsp baking soda, 1 tbsp Epsom salt, 2 drops peppermint essential oil. Keep feet soaked for 7 minutes.

Alkaline thoughts

It’s not only your liver and kidneys that need to be given a rest from acidic substances but also your mind and heart. A negative thought is sour no matter how you look at it. And every time we entertain it, its pressure in our psyche will wreak havoc on the immune system.

Drive away the unpleasant and bitter memories and replace them with loving thoughts.

Affirm: “If I think happy, I attract happy.”

Anohbuhyan!

Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! I need to polish my English again. I got 16 only. hehehe.

The New Planet

OMG! I never thought I can be like this. Ohmaygawd!!! This is not happening. Im already a planet. They can already shoot me outside the earth and be a new planet. I am already fat!!! Yikes!!!

Well, just yesterday, after I have done my usual back exercise routine I checked my weight. I went to scale and put the small thingy bar to 100 and then the other small thingy bar to 40. well, its not moving down. so i wondered because usually its already shaky. OK I said, let go forward. I slide down the small thingy bar to 45. Ay aba, ang hinayupak na ito hindi bumaba. So I wondered. I went down to the scale and went up again. I gasp and gasp and gasp. This cant be. Di p rin sya bumaba at umuga. There must be something wrong. So i went down sa scale and remove my shoes which is super uber embarassing. I went up again, ay talagang hindi bumaba. Ay, eto kinakatakot ko. Moving the small thing slide to MORE NUMBERS. Hay, I slowly centimeter by centimeter move the small thingy slide....46..... 47..... 48..... ay 48 na ah ayaw pa rin bumaba..... so cge move pa natin ulit..... 49..... well promising nagshashake shake na. ok..... pero di pa steady..... and I am already shaking with shame as I dont want see other people seeing my planetarium weight!!! ok so i still have to slide the small thingy to 50..... huwaaaaaaa!!! its still not down!!! i want to cry na!!!

You know you can still do it. 51..... ooohhhhh shit, its still not down..... i am already being persecuted and raped and murdered and raped again, aaahhhh ooohhh there there pa. cge pa. raped me pa. ooohhh, not there dito naman.... ok let go back to the scale..... i have to face the reality..... another centimeter and another one and another slide. A loud sound heard all over the gym..... BLAG! its 52.... I am already 152lbs!!! O good graciousness!!! This cant be..... Im like a planet already. this is obesity. this is insance. I feel pathetic now. Henaku!

Anyway, ofcourse. Marami ako sinisisi dito kung bakit ako naging uhm Bilugan at Jessica Mukhang Sago...

1. Yung aking dyowakers ..... almost everyday nya ako pinapakain ng empanada at ensaimada. di kame nawawalan ng ganyan sa ref, sa table, sa tukador, sa garahe, sa kulangan ng aso, sa istante ng vase at kung saan saan pa.

2. Si Ohnie..... sandamakmak ang kanyang pagkain sa station. Kinakain ko naman. Di naman nya ako pinipigilan. Ayaw nya rin mag-gym. Ayan tuloy.....pero mas malaki pa rin sya sa akin.

3. Si Raiza..... lahat kinakain. ay gusto ko yan. pwede kase si Raiza kahit saan. ayaw lang aminin. Hehehe!

7. Pagalis ko sa CCC ..... wala pa kase nambwibwisit sa akin na Kano or di ko ng magawang mambwisit sa Kano.

8. Yung station ko ngayon..... malapit kase sa pantry.

9. Di ko na nakikita yung crush ko sa gym..... hindi yung instructor pero yung lalake doon na may magandang mata. Yung kumausap sa akin na tulungan ko sya magspot. Tapos dinikit nya yung tuhod nya sa (expletive) ko. Hay it was heaven. I am not promisucous.

10. Well, atleast buti n lng once a week lng ako umuwi ng bahay sa marikina. Kundi lalo yata ako tataba.

Eto ang nakikita kong scenario sa buhay ko.

Batang Paslit : Taba Taba Taba! Bwahahaha!!!!

You Are the Less Hot Version of Me

You can tell all things to your best friend. You can do anything to your best friend. You can also think anything about your best friend.

But hey, do not hate me just because I am popular and pretty than you!

You just have to dance on the floor. Always go with the flow.

But when you are outside, it is all you! You just have to be YOU!

Corny ko ngayon!
