Seize Your Day

Regardless of your gender, we will go through emotional tortures at some point in time. The deliberation whether to say hi or have dinner gets painful when you're clueless. I'm sure everyone reading this is pretty much lost. That's because I'm lost.

Was msn-ing with Fat Shark Guru last night and as the usual conclusion goes, men will be men and they are simply born to be hunters. Girls should wait to be romanced and pampered but face it, does it really happen in reality? There are several times when we wait but only to discover at a later stage that you've probably missed the boat. Then again, there's no loss since there's not much emotional attachments.

Not too long ago, many linked me with being the happiest person around. Everything seemed to go on really well for me. But we tend forget that in every chapter of our lives, there's one crucial missing link that we tend to ignore. When it hits, it gets painful. Communication is probably the simplest form of interaction and tool to maintain relationships. Even with our BFF or dogs, without the communication/interaction, we will start to lose the emotions attached to it. And this is a 2 way street.

Many people come and go, some left deeper footprints than others. Few will still make our hearts beat faster when they are 10 feet within range but somehow, when you're beside the person who can give you the security, you don't wonder aimlessly anymore and your heart just stops fluttering no matter who else is within whatever zone you call it. But question being, who is this "security guard"?

An excerpt from "He's Just Not That Into You" by Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccillo.

Chapter One: he's just not that into you if he's not asking you out

Because if he likes you, trust me, he will ask you out

Many women have said to me, "Greg, men run the world." Wow. That makes us sound pretty capable. So tell me, why would you think we could be incapable of something as simple as picking up the phone and asking you out? You seem to think at times that we're "too shy" or we "just got out of something." Let me remind you: Men find it very satisfying to get what they want. (Particularly after a difficult day of running the world.) If we want you, we will find you. If you don't think you gave him enough time to notice you, take the time it took you to notice him and divide it by half.

For one, I don't take these as Bible truth but there's a reason why it's the bloody top selling book in the US. But why do we women have to do all the guessing and reading and anticipating? Girlies, stop giving these men the benefit of twirling us around their fingers. Let's just ignore them and seize the day. Carpe diem! Or so I tell myself...

I'm a wimp...
