What Do You Learn From Your Boyfriend?

Last Monday night's conversation was about me being the irresponsible kid I am and these were some of boyfriend's words of advice (Take note of the word "some". Yes, these are only some of all the things that he said)...


"You know, i was just suggesting lang kanina for you lang sad na di masayang imong time to do things that you need to do. I advice, make use of your spare time kay di naka tambay where you could have time for everything na kailangan/gusto nimo buhaton."

"You're just giving me problem pag di ka gaingon. I'd be glad pa hinuon if i could help you out with your problems and if i could make you feel better. Thru that, i'd be happy for i know i've been there for you as your boyfriend. Pero how could i help you if you don't help yourself? Please, help yourself. You know that you have that kind of negative attitude then you should do something for that. We are rational enough to change our behavior. You're not a kid anymore. Diba? Ingon pa nila that the only constant thing in this world is change. So there's no reason for you not to change."

"Love, don't solve your problem with another problem."

"Love, i know it's gonna be hard on your part. But no worries, i'm always here for you. Just be happy please. I don't want you sad."

"The judgments are not yet the bottomline. They'll see soon and prove themself wrong. I'm just paying attention to the possibilities in the future."

"Let's just say na love tika and i think it's enough to give me strength to keep going. I love you so much with all my heart and without any hesitations, i'm willing to be hurt, judged and whatsoever just not to give up on us. I love you."


Be responsible. Talk things out. Help yourself. Change for the better. Ignore the judgments. Prove them wrong. Don't give up. Be happy. Love fully. ♥

So Many Reasons

In the middle of our text conversation, boyfriend asked me why I loved him and I said I couldn't answer that, but then he insisted so I took the risk of being cheesy and this was what I got to compose...


"I love you because you make me happy. I love you because you're there for me even at the most inconvenient times. I love you because you always make me feel loved. I love you because you shower me with hugs and kisses. I love you because just the thought of you makes me smile. I love you because you don't give up on me. I love you because you don't give up on us. I love you because you're funny. I love you because you understand. I love you because you give me your time and effort. I love you because you dream big. I love you because you believe in God. I love you because you're smart. I love you because you make me feel good about myself. I love you because we don't have to pretend. I love you because of so many things. I love you because of you. :)"


Reasoning your love out to your partner is a common thing in a relationship. This is the first time I've done this in our six months of being together. I know I could have done better than that and could have said more than that because I honestly still can think of so much more reasons, but I meant that and that made him happy so I guess that's all that matters. Some might probably say that putting a "because" on your "I love yous" is overrated. Some might also say that justifying your love would make it unreal because if you really love someone, you wouldn't find the words why. But I think it can be healthy sometimes to think over why you're really in love with the person. It's also one way to express how you appreciate the person and who they are and what they do and what they do for you and how they make you better. The important thing really is you mean what you say. That's basically it.


Is it just me or "I Love You" really looks awkward when their first letters are capitalized?

Zisis a Cybercrime

"Once again we see a mix of ignorance to technology and the desire to exert further control over a population. Neither is pretty, and neither has any place in a good government."

- The Philippines Passes a Cybercrime Prevention Act ,
Paul Tassi, Forbes Contributor

The Philippine government should be ashamed. This Cyber Crime Law is just a waste of money and time of the country when they could focus more on important things instead like poverty and education. Not to mention the budget for this bill is P 50,000,000.00. Imagine that? Other countries don't even agree with this law and might just go against the Philippines because of this. Don't they realize that this is a big mistake? Or are they just too embarrassed to back off of what they've started and just stand for it anyway because of pride even though they know it's never going to be for the better of the country, but only for the better of themselves? Or they just can't think of any law else to make that they could benefit from so they just take this risk that obviously leads to a loss, that is if any from the government is still not stupid enough to agree with this law?

And they should probably get a review on The 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines, ey? And focus more on the Bill of Rights, which is the third article of the Constitution wherein Section 4 clearly states that "No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances." Because this law (Cyber Crime Law) obviously jeopardizes and stomps hard on one of the people's most important state of being --- freedom --- freedom to express, to speak their minds, to share their opinions. Who in the world, yes the whole wide world, would want that freedom to be taken away from them?

Being well-mannered in using the internet is important, but imposing a law to take over technology is plainly wrong. It is undeniable that the internet has become a very large part of the modern world now. So instead of putting to jail "cyber criminals", they should just add netiquette to schools' curriculum maybe? Or just e-mail those "cyber criminals" a reminder on how to act properly on social networks? Include grammar and spelling checks on that too! Haha. Okay, I'm thinking ridiculously already. It's just that, there are so much other better options to regulate what they call "cyber crime" than to spend P50 million and put the "cyber criminals" to jail. Wouldn't you laugh if you asked your friend why he's in prison and he would answer "Because I liked a status and retweeted something that's against the government"? It just really sounds awful that one simple click of the mouse can already put you to jail.

I've never been, in my whole life, very affected by how the government runs the country...until this law came to existence. This is the first time I ever ranted and complained and wrote about a law, and the government and the president and politics. The issue has that much impact to a whole lot of people including people who don't really care about politics like me. But then maybe I should partly be grateful because if not for this law, I wouldn't have been awakened by how people are actually right when they say that the government is...hmmm, let me think of just one word...lame? Yes, I personally think that the government is lame. So this should put me to prison, huh? See you all in jail! It's more fun in the Philippines' Jail of Cybercriminals! How fooooolish.
