The Man's Rules

I got this from an online buddy. Hope you find this interesting, cos i really find it interesting. :)) oh, really, very interesting.

****

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down. Finally, the guys side of the story.(I must admit, it's pretty good.)

We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male’s point of view. These are our rules! Please note… these are all numbered "1."ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers and never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability, however, is not proof of how little we care about you.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.

You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.

We need it up, you need it down.

You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports: It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.

Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! (for cryin’ out loud)

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.

Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

In fact, all comments become Null and Void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something, or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials...

1. Sometimes, we are not thinking about you. Live with it.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, NOT a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong.

We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or golf or basketball or cool gadgets.

1. We don't remember dates. Mark birthdays and anniversaries on a calendar. Remind us frequently beforehand.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport, and no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

…and lastly

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight.

Sayaw-E for Cookout

It's been a while since I blogged about any random stuff. Now I will be talking about the annual event in UP, the Cookout, and my performing organization, Sayaw-E. This year, Cookout is themed at "MMX: Magpakabana, Manginlabot to the Extreme." For the details of the said event, please see the image below.

This year's theme will address the apathy not only among UP Students but for the whole community as well. Integrated in the different Cookout segments, the issues to be tackled will also serve as basis for judging. For Kantahan-POPathy, apathy will be dealt with as songs are sung. For Bandahan, a Makabayan song will be played aside from the mainstream rock/band songs. For Sayawan-Take it to the Streets, the hiphop-ish dances will reflect how UP students take issues not only to the streets but into different medium as well. Most importanly, the Rampahan-Para sa PNoy will see through the aspirations of a UP student to the newly instituted adminsitration.

Also this year, Sayaw-e (short for Sayaw Evolution) will be joining the Sayawan Segment. This will be our chance to regain the title since we lost it to Hugpong (which actually I am a member of) during last year's Cookout. (Darn, I should have danced last year, but because I am part of the Student Council, I was not allowed to join any segment.) I hope we'll do good. This is my last Cookout as a student, I could've joined all segments (which actually cannot happen because the prod team allowed a participant to join at most 2 segments, and also because I am still part of the SC, or at least a not-so-significant part of the SC).

Cookout 2010, here we come!

p.s. If you want a ticket for the event, contact me at +639329471783 or cris_virgil@yahoo.com.

My Band Album (Taken from Mayang thetalesoftheworld.blogspot.com)

The Rules and Directions: How to Create your Band Name and your Band Album

Create your Band Name and Album Cover.
To Do This

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random" or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

So my band name is Davies, and my first band album is entitled "of through Inner Appreciation." You can avail of this in your nearest music shop and music stores. This is my album cover.

The Seven Deadly (?) Sins (?)

This is my first blog after a month or so, and I am choosing a very wonderful topic to talk about--the 7 deadly sins. 'twas in high school when I first encountered the term when we were required to read Dante's La Divina Comedia. (Pictures courtesy of Martha Dahlig from digitalart.org)

The Snake Pits. Simply your punishment for being good fer nuttin lazy idiot. Actually, Sloth does not mean laziness (as it is always associated with the term, we can blame the thesaurus for that), but rather accurately means apathy. It's not just simple laziness, it's actually not caring for or not minding others, more so his duty to God. Effortlessly effortless.

My favorite sin. (why is this here?). Lust, according to deadlysins dot com, is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. hmmm. You commit lust because of... oh c'mon, you know why (and you know that it is sooooo hard to avoid the THING ^_^). Your punishment for bing so damn lustful??? Just smothering your body to fire, and oh, brimstone. (It actually just makes you "more" lustful hen you're in hell. It makes you heat up more.)

Very capitalist. (Or consumerist for that matter. Oh, wrong use of word, very American I say.) Your consumerist and pampered lifestyle will eventually lead you to hell. It's simply youir desire for material wealth, for whatever you have here in Earth. I just couldn't find the connection why the punishment for such deadly sin is being fried (or boiled) in oil. Anyway, swimming in the finest oil is like being pampered, and you can have the finest oil in the world for that. You need not share, for no one really wants to be with you in the boiling oil.....for eternity. (even not for eternity, no one would want to be boiled in oil ALIVE.)

People around should have been irritating you always end up angry and wrathful. Instead of giving love, you result to fury and violence. Worse, your war-ish attitude will never lead you to peace-making. This will not end even in hell, though. You will be dismembered alive, and worse you actually see and feel it. Worst, you don't die. Enough for your anger, just give love. That will spare you from experiencing the greatest pain in your eternal life.

Oh I so love eating. You are associated with a pig--greedy,desire-ful, even fat. ^_^ Maybe you weren't weaned that properly as an infant you end up taking advantage of what you have and even what you don't have. Gluttony is the desire to consume more beyond what you can actually just hold. It's greed to the higher level, even highest. It's like taking more that what you CAN take. As a glutton in Earth, your sin will be upgraded in hell. You will be fed as much as you want. Yes, isn't that great, gluttons? You will be fed with rats, snakes, toads and frogs. How about that for your meal? D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

You have an extreme belief in your self, probably because your teacher and your mother always tell you to believe in yourself while you were a child. True to their words, you made that philosophy the greatest philosophy of your life. You praise yourself, you praise your abilities, you praise everything that you are. You are proud of yourself, or at least you praise yourself for being the oh-so-good-man that you are. Why is pride a sin when you are just loving one's self? atheism dot about dot com says that because of pride, you actually forget the higher being, God for that matter. As a sinful man that you are you will be punished as you will be crushed and broken on the wheel. You will be mocked for eternity for that, and you are proud or vain no more.

Very yellow. Jealousy, indeed. Envy is simply the desire for others' traits, abilities, simply the desire for everything that you do not have, or at least everything better than you have. People around you must have been always better than you--smarter, richer, more attractive, taller, slimmer, everything that is better than you are. (Or maybe because you just don't excel.) Being envious will lead you to the freezing waters of hell (oh, ironic, is it?). Dunno, perhaps freezing water will chill you desires. Perhaps the better punishment is to actually blind you for you not to see what everyone has got. ayt?

So what's your favorite sin?
or say, what's your favorite punishment?
