 PANO NGA BA NAGSISIMULA ANG CRUSH?
I was browsing through my email, 'coz its been alarming for the past months that I have 3662 unread mail messages.. so while I was cleaning up my email account if found some things that may be of use- not for myself but for peeps out there...this was emailed to me by a friend.. this article would not be of use to me.. hahaha... love is in my way and my crushes.. well, there's jun matsumoto... ngahahaha!!! i just have to add him here.. crush nga eh! so this starts here -->
STAGE 1: :"ALIW AKO!"
it goes like this... lalapit ka sa friend mo..tapos you'll say, "ei! kilala mo ba si ______(mark, joseph, john, mike...or whatever his damn name is!)? wala lang...aliw lang talaga ako sa kanya..." sabay smile... "hindi ko sya crush ha!!! talagang nakakatuwa lang sya!" kaya nga eh...tuwang tuwa ka...it shows...naaliw ka nga talaga...grabe!!!di mo ba alam na dyan nagsisimula yan..
STAGE 2: "NAKAKA-MISS SYA"
ayan na po...hinahanap mo na...ung dialouge naman nyan ganito..."uy, nasan kaya si ______? matagal ko na syang di nakikita eh...wala lang naninibago lang ako..." sigurado ka bang yun lang...aba! bago mo naman sya nakilala eh okay lang sayo na he does not exsist..eh bakit ngayon hinahanap-hanap mo...cgurado ka bang NANINIBAGO KA LANG????
STAGE 3: "CUTE PALA SYA!" a.k.a "the denial of reality"
hay...ayaw pa kasing aminin eh...paka totoo kana noh!!! "ei, alam mo cute pala si ______! pag tiningnan mong mabuti..." o kaya... "ang cute naman nyang magsmile...tapos ang bouncy ng hair nya..." tpos biglang sasabihin... "hindi ko sya crush ha...ung hair (smile or whatever na bagay na related sa kanya) lng nya ang gusto ko!" SIGURADO KA LANG??? eh bakit sa tinagal-tagal na magkasama kayo ngayonmo lang narealize...hm...something's fishy...
STAGE 4: "ALAM MO CRUSH KO NA YATA SYA...
" Hay naku!!! may pa yata-yata ka pang nalalaman... ilang months or years mo inipon ang courage mo para aminin yan...when infact i t's so obvious...alam na ng buo mong barkada bago mo pa man sinabi....at least di ba "HONEST" kna sa sarili mo...
STAGE 5: "TODO NA TO!"
eto na siguro yung part na pinaka maraming complications...kasi alam na ng barkada mo...at ikaw...kilig effect ka sa isang tabi....eto na yung stage na may sub levels...ayon sa iyong mga kabaliwang gagawin just for the sake of your
so-called love life...
a. shy effect okay...nandyan ka lang sa isang tabi...nagmumuni-muni kahit within 1 meter radius lang ang crush mo...kunwari walang reaction...tanong lang ha? HANGGANG KAILAN???
b. kababawan ung bang tipong nadikitan mo lang sya by a quarter of a second sa hibla ng damit nya eh hanggang langit na yung tuwa mo..ung bang pwede ka nang mamatay...hay grabe ha...o kya naman makasalubong mo lang sya eh papasa kana sa exams....hm...wag sobrahan!!!
c. non stop talk well...it just means na wala ka nang ibang kinuwento kundi sya..."he's like this...blah blah blah." its all about him...
d. stalker in short...your a walking encyclopedia about him...alam mo lahat ng dapat malaman tungkol sa kanya...schedule nya, adress, phone numbers...san sya tumaTambay...lahat ng favorites nya...pangalan ng parents nya...size ng pants, shoes, shirts nya...pati yata brand ng brief nya alam mo na...tsk!tsk!tsk! freaky...
e. obssesesion hm, kailangan pa bang i-explain yan????
STAGE 6: GETTING TO KNOW YOU...
Sa wakas...kilala ka na rin ng crush mo...eh di happy kana di ba....it's your time to shine at magpakitang gilas...hehehe! kaso take note this is the most dangerous stage...remember that once you get to know him..there might be a possi bility na ma-inlove ka...o complicated na yan!!!! pero pwede rin na crush mo lang talaga sya...there also may be a chance na mawala ung pagaka crush mo sa kanya...or you two might be good friends....friends...as in RIENDS!!! daming possibilities...it's up to you ung what will you choose...basta make sure it's the beat for both of you... PS
Now, while I was reading this again.. I realized dumaan din pala ako sa ibang stages nito.. but I aslo skipped some.. but definitely stage 1... ayan...eventually it'll boikl down to love.. pagseryoso ka na ah.. but kung crush crush lang then its on a crush crush level din...
 Ahahaha.. Happy Birthday...sa kuya ng tropa. oops...

 Foods that put you in a good moodStressed? Sluggish? Moody? Relief may be as close as your local supermarket. That's 'cuz what you eat affects how you feel. So what foods will put you in a good mood? Take a look...  FEELING FOGGY? If you're finding it hard to concentrate and feel like your mind is a pile of goo, you may want to snack on some protein-rich foods. Foods like cheese, soy products and lean meat are great for making you feel alert, energized and ready to take on the day. So if your brain's feeling a bit foggy, just nibble on some low-cal string cheese, a veggie burger, or some lean skinless chicken or turkey breast. You may be thinking more c learly in no time.  THE ULTIMATE MOOD LIFTERA little chocolate can fix anything, right? It's sweet, delicious and creamy, and it seems to make us feel a lot better once we've eaten it. Well, it turns out chocolate's mood-boosting ability is not all in our heads -- eating the sweet stuff really does make us feel happy, content and soothed. Why? The fat, sugar, and high amounts of tryptophan found in chocolate work together to raise serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain. The result? Your mouth will be happy -- and so will the rest of you.  STABILIZING MOOD SWINGSDo you go from laughing to crying in a matter of seconds? Curbing mood swings may be as easy as drinking water. That's because dehydration can play a big part in emotional stability. If you don't get those recommended 8 - 10 cups of water a day, you might just find yourself sweatin' the small stuff. So drink up!  STOP FEELING SLUGGISHTired and lethargic all the time? Find it hard to get going in the morning? You may want to whip up some scrambled eggs or an omelette. That's because eggs are a great source of zinc, a substance that makes you feel more awake, energized and engaged by helping to regulate blood sugar.  NIX NERVOUSNESSStressed? Nervous? Anxious? Soothe your nerves with some skim milk or a handful of almonds. Both foods are rich in calcium, and calcium is great for reducing anxiety and making you feel calm and relaxed.  SNACK HAPPYSalmon and strawberries may be nature's equivalent of Prozac and Zoloft. That's because folate-rich foods cause a boost in serotonin levels in the brain, much like antidepressants do. So the next time you're feeling depressed, grill some salmon, or treat yourself to a bowl of strawberries. Chances are, you'll turn that frown upside down in no time.  TAME YOUR TEMPERFeeling angry? Reach for a grapefruit, some grapes, an apple or some carrots! All four of these great-tasting foods are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber that lowers blood cholesterol. Another plus? When you're angry, your body kicks into fight-or-flight mode, causing your heart rate, adrenaline levels and blood pressure to increase. But pectin reverses these effects and helps your system return to normal. source: The fun and healthy blogs of Hungry Girl

How is it to be a mom? Does it end when you let the baby out of your womb?
NO.
For 23 years, I have witnessed several moms in my life. I grew up with so many moms... NMy mom-mom, my nanay, my mommies (titas), all of which whom I saw different faces and characteristics of motherhood. I guess it doe not stop on a child's first cry...
MOMMY TRAIT #1 UNDYING LOVE
I have a mommy (tita/aunt), my Mommy P., who lost her daughter 30 years ago- my cosin was 5 years old when she died ( i didnt even get to meet her). but as i heard the story, it was almost heartbreaking. my cousin, Mylene was supposed to turn five a day after she was rushed to the hospital. The doctors were saying taht my cousin is not allowed to leave the hospital- but her condition was already serious, and my mommy was witnessing how her baby was suffering. she had this disease or i think a deficiency of the bone. it was caused by an accident when she was about 2 yeas old- her yaya accidentally dropped her. but the yaya kept silent until my cousin showed signs of abnormality (i dont know if that is the right term or not). shecould not walk nor run nor play like normal kids. at the hospital, my mommy together with my ninang (godmother) was planning to take my cousin out of the hospital because it was her birthday. since the doctors didnt want her to leave beacuse they had to do tests and all, my mommy (aunt) was sure that her daughter didnt need any medical attention at that moment. what she needed was a happy day because it was her birthday. She tried very hard to let her dughter be released in the hospital but the problem is they won't let her go. so all she needed to do was to take her daughter out of the hospital like a kidnapper. SHe succeeded with that. She had her daughter for a whole day celebrating her day. My cousin who was trurning five that day was so happy, enjoying her life- her day as a child. She was energetic and smiles were all over her face (as they would remember). The day after her birthday, she died. Maybe, my aunt has foreseen the event, so she wanted to give all her best for her daughter. I know some would say its a stupid thing to do but I understand how she feels- she was a mom.. she wanted everything good for her daughter and it kills her to see her daughter suffer so much-there were conclusions that she's going to die soon. And now, year after year- every special occassion my aunt would cook her favorite meal, bake her favorite cake, bring her fowers and light up candles by her grave. A mother would always be a mother.
MOMMY TRAIT #2 UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT DESPITE HARDSHIPS AND TROUBLES
I have another mommy (aunt) who loves her son dearly. They live somewhere out there, in another continet. My cousin is an only child- a spoiled brat I would say. He would always opt for more expensive things rather than the simple things in life. Unlike his parents my cousin is a "waster". Without realizing the importance of hard-earned money and hardwork. He would always buy things and charge it to credit card companies (the tempataion credit cards bring- I too was a victim once, but I learned my lesson well). Anyway, back to the story, he then felll into debt as in big time debt- although he was working as a manager in a fast food store while studying he still was such a "waster". Yep, he fell into debt- big time debt.. i would not say how far but for me its far too much....my aunt who then was diagnosed with a cist in her breast (which i think runs in the family) tried to get another job afetr retiring from her previous employer. While she was working hard she was the one paying her son's bills (foolish!!!! very foolish!!! - i was even saying that my aunt should've just let my good-for-nothing cousin go.. hehehe.. am i bad- all he do was buy but not walk up to his "paying responsibility") ANyway, yes, my aunt is the one helping out my cousin pay his bills. She didnt want my uncle to know about my cousin's situation right now- so she's overing it up- coz she knows the consequences once my uncle would know how his son is faring in the sea of life. I don't know but really, mommies can sacrifice alot for their children.
LAST MOMMY TRAIT IS ULTIMATE SACRIFICE AND PATIENCE
My mom-mom, for 23 years has been generous, loving, caring and compassionate. Though there were times I have been rebellious and bad she still was there for me- understood me, helped me pick up the pieces of my torn life and put it all back together to be me..now.
Although i grew up with only my mom by my side, I believe and I know taht I grew up to be a person with sense and worth in this world. It was hard, I know, to raise a kid all by yourself that is why I respect my mom so much because her dedication and care for me was not out of responsibility but out of love. And I know there are times taht the world is not on our side, but guess what, we are still happy, talk about stuff and smile even if the grayest clouds are above our heads.
My mom was my confidante, although I am not a person who talks about problems and loves keeping secrets for myself, she always has this gut-feel- she'll know when I have troubles in life, with friends and love. Hahah. moms.. is it because of that cord that binds a child and a mother together?
There are other stories I would like to share but I think I have to end it here first.... coz I have something to do right now and time is running out!!!! hahahah! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
I think that fire in me is burning out. I dunno but the flame is flickering already.... I can't make myself wake up with a smile anymore, I feel tired and restless....
I need a vacation (again). But in fairness to myself, Im still digging deep inside.. deep down in me to find another lighted candle that'll keep me going... and I think I found one today.
My only spark right now would be my family and friends. They are the ones who keep me oing right now. If not for them, I'll be dead like a tree growing in the middle of a desert (cactus?). But, I still find enjoyment in what I do... (thank God).. but my place right now is pretty boring. I miss my ORIGINAL PLACE... the Mac that I am using... my dek with all those pink stuff and toys.. right now I am situated here in this boring corner of the room.. with only a blue background infront of me, used headphones and a tablet... boring isnt it? No color.. lifeless.. maybe taht's why I feel bored and sleepy...but I have to work... stretch those muscles and generate a few good ideas in my head... eventually this will be over.. but not for long.. 'coz there's still a FRIDAY WORK. I hope when I wake up tomorrow, it'll be SATURDAY... but I hope MONDAY would never come.. but, too bad, it will.....
Okay, so I have this weird problem.. I havent uploaded any single picture from our Zambales trip... everyone has uploaded their pictures... eh ako??? nope. havent uploaded them yet. yesterday I was busy doing the effect for the pictures.. a 70's feel... bakit? eh, eventually we'll get old and those pictures would "fade" like our physical youth.. so might as well give it an "oldie" feel so that when we have our grandchildren and see the pictures then sunod sa uso.. luma.. hahahaha... parang tinago sa baol...  Anyway, this morning, I rode a taxi going to the office, male-late na kase ako. Aba, okay lang nung una masaya ako.. but the driver was kinda disturbing kase ang sungit niya pos text ng text... few minutes later, myy eyes were wandering inside the taxi and i saw blood stains. (well, nakita ko na yung blood stain sa inupuan ko na parnag nilabhan.. akala ko naman may natagusan lang) anyway, yep fresh blood stains.. kinda freaky but cool.. okay lang... then eventually the manong taxi driver became impatient with the traffic flow, reklamo and "tsk! tsk!" ever ang drama. when we reached Malugay, I had to let the taxi make a right turn and UTurn sa loob... a BIG SIGN saying NO RIGHT TURN ON RED LIGHT was right infron of us, but the taxi driver still insisted on turning right... nakita siya nung mga MAPSA (Makati Police...) then I told him na I need to make UTURN.. then he made a UTURN then when the MAPSA people stopped him and asked for his license... saakin niya sinisi ang lahat... as in "IKAW KASE EH".. "KUNG DI TAYO NAGUTURN DI AKO MAHUHULI"... I was really irritated and started arguing with him.... okay my points: a. I was courteous enough to point him to my dropoff point 'coz he said he didnt know the place. b. I said "Manong stop kayo diyan bawal magright" but he didnt listen c. I was concerned enough to say UTURN po kayo sa bandang loob... kase baka mahuli kayo.. okay so if he heard me saying UTURN sa bandang loob and he had this idea taht he'll be fined for his action of turniong right he should have said, "May iba bang daan kase baka mahuli ako pagbalik". but he didnt ask me that.. and it was his choice to turn right even if there were warnings.... d. tama ba naman isis saakin lahat.."KUNG HINDI KA NAGUTURN DI AKO MAHUHULI"-- eh doon ako pupunta anong gusto mo mangyari??? " AYAN NAHULI TULOY AKO.. IKAW KASE"-- erm ako ba yung kumanan? di bale nasana kung NR lang ako sa pagkanan... "IKAW KASE" -- anong gusto mong gawin ko bayaran ko yung ticket na dahil sa katarantaduhan mo? haller! Crazy! Anyway... I still paid my fare... the right fare with alittle tip on the side 5pesos.. niyahahah.. bad ka kase manong!!!!! tama bang sisihin ako....kainis talaga!!!!! well, i just slammed the door of his taxi and argued a little sa asar.. heheh.. then i remebered bloody taxi niya.. baka serial killer...hahahah! but i guess someone was rushed sa hospital kaya may blood stains...

I know right now, you are torn between the two simplest words in the world, YES and NO. But sometimes, these words can be very deceiving, a wrong answer may lead you to doing another mistake, or maybe, it could be a blessing in disguise and make your life, happier and more fulfilling. I found this article at some page.. home this helps.... 1. Choose to Be Happy at WorkHappiness is largely a choice. I can hear many of you arguing with me, but it's true. You can choose to be happy at work. Sound simple? Yes. But, simplicity is often profoundly difficult to put into action. I wish all of you had the best employer in the world, but, face it, you may not. So, think positively about your work. Dwell on the aspects of your work you like. Avoid negative people and gossip. Find coworkers you like and enjoy and spend your time with them. Your choices at work largely define your experience. You can choose to be happy at work.
2. Do Something You Love Every Single DayYou may or may not love your current job and you may or may not believe that you can find something in your current job to love, but you can. Trust me. Take a look at yourself, your skills and interests, and find something that you can enjoy doing every day. If you do something you love every single day, your current job won't seem so bad. Of course, you can always make your current job work or decide that it is time to quit your job.
3. Take Charge of Your Own Professional and Personal DevelopmentA young employee complained to me recently that she wanted to change jobs because her boss was not doing enough to help her develop professionally. I asked her whom she thought was the person most interested in her development. The answer, of course, was her. You are the person with the most to gain from continuing to develop professionally. Take charge of your own growth; ask for specific and meaningful help from your boss, but march to the music of your personally developed plan and goals. You have the most to gain from growing - and the most to lose, if you stand still.
4. Take Responsibility for Knowing What Is Happening at WorkPeople complain to me daily that they don't receive enough communication and information about what is happening with their company, their department's projects, or their coworkers. Passive vessels, they wait for the boss to fill them up with knowledge. And, the knowledge rarely comes. Why? Because the boss is busy doing her job and she doesn't know what you don't know. Seek out the information you need to work effectively. Develop an information network and use it. Assertively request a weekly meeting with your boss and ask questions to learn. You are in charge of the information you receive.
5. Ask for Feedback FrequentlyHave you made statements such as, "My boss never gives me any feedback, so I never know how I'm doing." Face it, you really know exactly how you're doing. Especially if you feel positively about your performance, you just want to hear him acknowledge you. If you're not positive about your work, think about improving and making a sincere contribution. Then, ask your boss for feedback. Tell him you'd really like to hear his assessment of your work. Talk to your customers, too; if you're serving them well, their feedback is affirming. You are responsible for your own development. Everything else you get is gravy.
6. Make Only Commitments You Can KeepOne of the most serious causes of work stress and unhappiness is failing to keep commitments. Many employees spend more time making excuses for failing to keep a commitment, and worrying about the consequences of not keeping a commitment, than they do performing the tasks promised. Create a system of organization and planning that enables you to assess your ability to complete a requested commitment. Don't volunteer if you don't have time. If your workload is exceeding your available time and energy, make a comprehensive plan to ask the boss for help and resources. Don't wallow in the swamp of unkept promises.
7. Avoid NegativityChoosing to be happy at work means avoiding negative conversations, gossip, and unhappy people as much as possible. No matter how positively you feel, negative people have a profound impact on your psyche. Don't let the negative Neds and Nellies bring you down. T
And, keep on singing in the car on your way to work - or start.
8. Practice Professional CourageIf you are like most people, you don't like conflict. And the reason why is simple. You've never been trained to participate in meaningful conflict, so you likely think of conflict as scary, harmful, and hurtful. Conflict can be all three; done well, conflict can also help you accomplish your work mission and your personal vision. Conflict can help you serve customers and create successful products. Happy people accomplish their purpose for working. Why let a little professional courage keep you from achieving your goals and dreams? Make conflict your friend.
9. Make FriendsIn their landmark book, First, Break All The Rules: What the World’s Greatest Managers Do Differently (Compare Prices), Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman list twelve important questions. When employees answered these questions positively, their responses were true indicators of whether people were happy and motivated at work. One of these key questions was, "Do you have a best friend at work?" Liking and enjoying your coworkers are hallmarks of a positive, happy work experience. Take time to get to know them. You might actually like and enjoy them. Your network provides support, resources, sharing, and caring.
10. If All Else Fails, Job Searching Will Make You SmileIf all of these ideas aren't making you happy at work, it's time to reevaluate your employer, your job, or your entire career. You don't want to spend your life doing work you hate in an unfriendly work environment. Most work environments don't change all that much. But unhappy employees tend to grow even more disgruntled. You can secretly smile while you spend all of your non-work time job searching. It will only be a matter of time until you can quit your job - with a big smile.
hahaha.. what the hell... tunnel of doom. Okay, so basically what happened to m today is really weird.

 How to Survive Life's Sucker Punches
Sometimes you’re just going about your business — working, partying, falling in love — when suddenly, you’re blindsided: You get fired, your guy dumps you, or you go broke. Cosmo’s gonna tell you how to rebound.
Disaster 1: You Were Fired
How to Bounce Back
“First of all, don’t go around acting beaten down,” says Caitlyn Friedman, coauthor of The Girl’s Guide to Kicking Your Career into Gear. “Be honest but upbeat. Say, ‘It was disappointing, but here’s what I’m going to do now.’ It’s better to be the person who talks about it than to have it be the elephant in the room.” Then face the fact that rejection provides information — so use it. “Think honestly about why you got fired,” advises Bernardo J. Carducci, PhD, professor of psychology at Indiana University Southeast and director of its Shyness Research Institute. “Perhaps there’s a slowdown in your industry overall, but maybe it is something about you. Perhaps you were spending too much time cruising the Internet or your sales were going down.” This is your chance to figure out whether you actually liked doing that job anyway. (Were your sales down because you were bored stiff by selling radio time? Had you outgrown your position?) “If you can take some emotion out of the situation, you’ll learn a lot,” says Friedman. “For many people, being fired is the best thing that ever happened to them because they use it to think creatively about their career.”
Preventive Measures
“Firing rarely really happens out of the blue,” says Friedman. In hindsight, the clues are everywhere. If your boss isn’t quite meeting your eye, you feel suddenly left out of the loop on key projects, you got turned down for a promotion, or there is less pressure on you to achieve goals or score big coups, you’d better start staying late...and brushing up your résumé. And all along the way, adds Friedman, “you should be managing your career — have a five-year plan for yourself.” Even if you’re at a junior level, start meeting people in your industry, attending conferences and events, and building relationships with people in your company who might mentor you. “The bigger your world is,” Friedman says, “the better off you’ll be if you’re fired. A lot of people just figure they are working hard and will be rewarded, but it doesn’t work that way.”
Disaster 2: You’re Broke
How to Bounce Back
You’re not alone: Forty-two percent of the college class of 2006 admitted to living at home a year after graduation. But even if credit-card expenses are getting you down, try to stay out on your own, advises Patricia Brennan, a certified financial planner who teaches personal finance courses at Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Morris County in New Jersey. To get back on your feet, Brennan suggests shifting credit balances to a promotional zero-percent card and finding budget leaks by writing down every dollar you spend for a month. And the little things really count, she adds: Try brown-bagging your lunch, drinking coffee at home rather than buying a daily jumbo cappuccino, and saving your loose change.
Preventive Measures
Everyone should have an emergency fund that will keep them going for three to six months, says Brennan, so start putting that aside with your first paycheck. If you’re finding that you can’t pay your credit-card bill each month, put the card in your freezer — literally. “If it’s sitting in a block of ice, that will at least slow you down and give you a chance to rethink before you spend,” she explains.
Disaster 3: You Were Dumped by The One
How to Bounce Back
There is a fine line between obsessing and reflecting, says New York psychologist Dale Atkins, PhD, author of Sanity Savers: Tips for Women to Live a Balanced Life. “You do need to confront it and feel the emotions,” says Atkins, “but you need to put a cap on it as well.” She advises giving yourself a specific window of time each day to indulge all the painful thoughts and memories — say, 7 to 8 p.m. — and then force yourself to let go and start thinking about the bigger picture. Which should not, for a little while, include hopping into bed with either a handy ex or the next guy who buys you a drink at your neighborhood spot. “That kind of quick fix doesn’t feel good for long,” says Atkins. “Ultimately, you’re going to have to allow yourself to be vulnerable again, and that can’t happen until you’ve gone through the healing process.” Once you’re semirational, begin analyzing your past for destructive patterns you can avoid next time.
Preventive Measures
Some things in life simply aren’t under your control, and someone falling out of love with you is one of them. But you can become a more resilient person in the face of disappointment or heartbreak, says Atkins, by creating and sustaining a strong circle of supportive friends and family rather than letting those ties lapse when you get serious with someone.
Disaster 4: You Hate Your Career Choice
How to Bounce Back
First question: Do you hate your career choice or simply your job (or your boss)? Think about what really motivates you: Money? Creativity? Autonomy? Make a list of the accomplishments you get the most compliments on. Then, advises Friedman, research your options by joining professional groups (the Downtown Women’s Club is one), going to conferences, and asking people what they love about their work.
Preventive Measures
Every six months or so, advises Friedman, do a career scan. How have the past six months been? Where do you want to be next year? Ask yourself: Where did this idea of being a [fill-inthe- blank] come from? Does it feel authentic to me? Do I experience joy in it? Those internal queries can help you recalibrate sooner rather than later.
Disaster 5: Your Best Friend Betrays You
How to Bounce Back
At this point in your life, your friends are standing in for family, says Atkins, so a betrayal of magnitude can shake your foundation. “It can help to talk about it with other friends who can offer perspective,” says Atkins. “Maybe there’s something going on in her life that you don’t know about…or something about you that she can’t handle.” Whatever the reasons, dump the revenge fantasies, and just concentrate on whether you want to give her another chance. Is this the first betrayal, or one in a series? Is it a very long-lived friendship that deserves another shot? If you do want to try to repair things, Atkins suggests writing an e-mail along the lines of: “I don’t understand what happened, but I feel hurt. If you want to tell me about it, I’d like to know.”
Preventive Measures
Don’t put all your friendship eggs in one basket. “You don’t want any one person to be the source of your identity,” says Carducci. Instead, have several close friends in different circles, so if you end up disappointed or hurt by one of them, it’s not so devastating.
Building Your Decision Muscles
"When something bad happens, you need to take action to recover, say life couch Christine Hassler, who offers the following tips to help you strengthen your coping skills.
Make Every Decision Solo
Don’t ask for help for a week — with work dilemmas or choosing an entrée at dinner — to get in touch with your ability to be decisive.
Take a Trip Alone
Even if it’s just two towns away, get away for the weekend. You’ll be out of your comfort zone and in full-time decision-making mode.
Decide for Right Now
Dump the what-if mentality — not every choice has a domino effect far into the future, so try to stay in the present.
Get Out of Your Head
...And into your body. You make better decisions if you’re intuitive. So listen to your physical signals to access your gut.
Okay, so I have been quiet for the past few days. No bloging, no weird comments and no photo uploads. Nah! Boring!!!! Anyway, work life... its always boring, if you're asking me where the fun stuff begins.. well it begins with a little chat from your seatmate, co-worker or office friend.

SOME of the world’s firsts… 1. KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) is one of the famous fried chicken fast food chains around the globe. Aside from Colonel Sanders’ chicken recipe, their fixins are also a hot among families during Sunday dinners or Friday night outs. Now, KFC would be known in the whole universe… why? because it was said to be the first brand to be seen in outer space. Colonel Sanders’ face - KFC’s logo was captured via a satellite camera from outer space. Cool? Yeah, of course!

2. Ever wonder what was the very first video that MTV ever launched? Here’s the deal, the story goes way back in 1981. Yup, 1981, the year where MTV launched the very first music video entitled “Video killed the radio star” which was sung by the Buggles. 
3. Don’t you just love those banners on different websites? Sometimes they flash is different colors, some are animated and the others just the plain, static ones? Have you ever imagined a site without banners? No advertisements via cyberspace. No clicking on those artsy, flashy banners. Well, thanks to the geeks of HotWired who developed the world’s first banner ad. It was a 468×60 banner placed on the HotWired website sponsored by AT&T. 
4. One of the most famous clowns in history until today is Ronald McDonald. But Ronald was not McDonalds’ first character. It was a bun-head logo named Speedee. Speedee became McDonalds image model until Ronald’s debut in 1966. 
5. It was rock that captured most people during the 1970’s. Many great artists even before the 70’s emerged recorded and performed rock music at concerts and special events. But the very first Platinum Record was given to the Eagles for selling over a million copies of their album “The Eagles:Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975″ in 1976. Whoa! A million copies??! It’s so rockin’ outta this world dude!!!!! 
6. When we were litlle, we dreamed of becomeing a doctor, an artist and even a superhero. When I was little, my favorite superhero was Wonder Woman (not only becuase of the fact that she was a girl, she too was very pretty.) Well, most guys would idolize Superman. Well, Superman, technically was not the world’s first superhero. But he was the world’s first superhero with super powers. The first superhero was Popeye the Sailorman, who debuted in 1929 but, he did not quite fit in the superher image. He was just a man with super strength when he eats spinach. Then Mandrake the Magician was introduced to the public. He was more accepted to be the world’s first superhero. Well, the first superhero to wear a costume was The Phantom. Mandrake and the Phantom were both created by Lee Falk. Now, that is quite interesting. It’s a good thing that superheroes wear costumes now. 
7. Coffee anyone? The drink that makes you happy, let’s you stay awake for hours and… of course, the drink where you share special moments with a new found friend or a loved one. Starbucks is one of the most popular, or should I say the most popular cafe/coffee store in the world. With over hundreds of stores worldwide, Starbucks did not only make a coffee statement but also a lifestyle in coffee drinking. Their different coffee flavors and blends make them stand out. But where did Starbucks hail? And how long was Starbucks in the business? Well, it started as a small, humble coffee shop in Seattle in April 1971. The founders of Starbucks Coffee, Jerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl started with a capital of $9,050. Well, all the hard work paid off. Starbucks is a worldwide brand that will be remembered for a long time. 
Well, the firsts are finished. I hope you learned something from it. My post for today ends here. But I hope you’ll have time to read my posts in the next days.
