Describing my hometown Bukidnon
So I have decided to describe my province, Bukidnon. I am really from the municipality of Maramag -- to be specific. I was born and raise in the same town. My father works in the only psychiatric institution, named Happy Home, in the province. My mother has worked in a health institution, named Southern, but now she is with me here in middle east. Originally, my parents aren't natives of Bukidnon. My father is from Negros Oriental, and my mother is from Iloilo. They have decided to go to Bukidnon because of the jobs opportunities available there.
Bukidnon is a wonderful place. I have a lot of memories that I treasure even to these days. My childhood has been an awesome experience for me. Upon writing this article, I feel butterflies in my stomach reminiscing the things I had in Maramag, Bukidnon. I remember the faces of my friends, my elementary teachers, my childhood crushes, my brothers, my sisters, my father, and my mom. My first day in Canossa Kindergarten, my teacher in Grade 1 (Ma'am Balbutin), my teacher in Grade 6 (Spare me from bragging, but Ma'am Daiton gave me first honors in class), my first day in high-school, Rhodel's Stores, Maramag Terminal, and more stuff are running in my mind right now.
Bukidnon is an awesome place. If there was a place I would want to be right now, it would be Bukidnon. The weather is amazing. It rains almost every afternoon during the months of June. We don't experience typhoons though. I used to bath in rain when I was younger and ran with my friends naked around the neighbourhood. Me and my brother used to carry raincoat and umbrella in school, because school days mean rainy days.
People in Bukidnon are very hospitable. You can strike a conversation with anyone, anytime and anywhere. We usually smile to every people we meet, so it is really comfortable to ask for directions and suggestions for places to stay. One of the busiest places in Maramag is the Bus Station and Terminal. You would find passengers travelling, vendors selling, and dispatchers providing information on bus departing time. If you had traveled around Mindanao island, you would notice that Maramag Bukidnon has the best-looking Bus Terminal in the entire island.
Maramag is not only a beautiful place with beautiful people but also a gifted town. There are a lot of spring water source; henceforth entrepreneurs didn't hesitate to build spring water resorts. Water is never a problem to supply the swimming pools, so maintaining these facilities is cheap -- attracting investors from all over the country. During gatherings, we usually go to these resorts and celebrate. Having a lot of natural spring water source in the area allowed me to practice swimming when I was eleven.
Maramag gives you the feeling of living in the country side. The only drawback is you can't find a decent shopping mall that offers a wide array of gadget and clothing brands there. Yes, there are a couple of mobile phone kiosks and small buildings dedicated to clothing stores, but it is not enough--at least for me. So every time my Mom wanted to buy something for us, for our home, or whatever, most often than not, we would go to the neighbouring city of Valencia. Twice a month my mom would spoil us with toys, clothing and gadgets. We also used to watch cinemas in Valencia during that time when CDs, DVDs and USBs were not available yet.
So I did mention Valencia City, which is the neighbouring city of Maramag. There is also a nearby city that I have had wonderful memories. It is the City of Malaybalay. It is a 30-minute bus ride from Maramag. It is one of the coldest places in Philippines, next to Baguio and Tagaytay. I have been in Malaybalay several times. I have transported patients from SJSBH to Malaybalay Provincial Hospital (now known as BPH). I have spent jolly drinking sessions in my workmate's house. And I have visited a beautiful girl -- my former gf. So Malaybalay is a memorable place for me.
There are a couple of things I did in Bukidnon that I would really recommend to tourists -- be from abroad or from the country. I did a rappel from one of the road bridges in Maramag which is known by the name "Blue Waters." Specifically it is in Quezon, Bukidnon. In rappel, you go down using only a rope. Do you remember elite soldiers going down with a rope from the helicopter? The same thing is what you do in rappel -- minus the gun and the shooting enemies.
In a nutshell, Bukidnon is an amazing place to visit. Just post your comment here if you ever visited the place. I still have a lot of things to say, but I have to bounce for work.

Inevitable
Girl, you're livin'... And I'm here cryin'...Why does it have to be this way? The cruel universe must be at play. Seldom, I fall in love. It is what god wants me to have. Now, I'm fallin' for you. But, why is it so hard for me to have you. Sure, I ain't the one holding the talisman. Yet, I'm willing to take risks to be your man. I know this is hard on your part, but what can I do if we're destined apart?
I told you once... Is there any chance? All the things I said before were true. But' I'm not still through. The memory of the past is running in my mind so fast. The feelings I had before is crawling back through my heart's pore... It's useless... For me to help this... It's all coming back to me now... Defying this is a big how.
I can't neglect this feeling in my heart... Doing so will break my heart... Soon, you'll be livin' and you'll be far from my seein'... Enduring this longing is an inevitable thing. Far though you may be, I believe we're meant to be... Someday... Somehow... We'll find each other's way back. After all, happy endings are still realms of our dreams in this world.
I'll see you soon...
P.S.- The Law of Attraction is at work here. The universe will conspire for us to build our own world... Just you and me...

Falling in Love
How many times you've fallen in Love with a certain person? Falling in Love is an inevitable thing you need to endure as a creation of god. There are ups and downs in love. That's why we need to take full responsibility before falling in Love. Yet, love comes out of nowhere that we are often caught off guard. I don't intend to give you the impression that I'm an all-knowing guy regarding Love. I'm curious as hell about Love as much as the next guy. But, I do have ideas about Love...
I've fallen in Love, once, with a girl. You may ask how do I know if it is indeed Love. Nah, it's hard for me to put it into plain words. Just take this... My world is revolving around her... Obsession? No... Hell NO... Obsession takes place when the thought of her interferes your normal daily activities. You see? It's far from obsession. I can still do all things normally. Perhaps, sometimes, I'm kind of lost in the labyrinth of my thoughts. what can I say? She's dwelling my mind... Sigh*... Another dose of insanity. But it's not obsession... Really... It's just that I find her soothing when she's in the recesses of my mind. So, I think it's Love. No. I feel this is Love. It just feels so right.
Very well said... Laugh*... I don't really know what Love is. All I know is that Love is always new. It doesn't matter how many times you've fallen in Love. It is always new. It doesn't need any polisher to take the rust brought by time. It keeps on shining, beautiful than any stone out there. So, once you've found Love, don't let it slip by your hands. Hold it softly. Mold it just like stones into gems. Do you get my drift? If so, Congrats... Otherwise, you'll be missing half of your life, because fallen in love is an inevitable onslaught you need to withstand.

Attracting Women 101
I know a lot of guys out there still suffer the stab of rejection
from women.I've been there a lot of times, and I do fully know how
it feels to be rejected.I hope this article will help you on the
hunt of your own Eve.
What is the reason why a woman rejects a man?
Simple.
There is no attraction between that man and woman.
Is there anything that can intensify woman's attraction?
The Answer is YES.
Well, don't raise your hopes way too high. I'm no expert regarding
this.
We, Filipino guys, have our own approach on girls. Sad to say,
The westerns call us 'Wuss'. Yet, I believe that we got the
well-defined, polished approach on women. Perhaps, I can make
a quick, dry run on this sort of things.
1) Start With Respect
Courteous regards for people's feelings - honor - value - these
are all synonymous to the word respect, a quality a lot of
women look for in a man.
Women should be treated with great respect and esteem and
this involves not treating her just like a piece of meat.
It is true that ego and conquest weight heavily on a guys list
(maybe yours even) where a guy has to impress his buddies
with a score card and constantly show who is in control, but
this is certainly no excuse to treat any woman with disrespect.
If you want to get her to like you then you must be respectful
to her in your actions, thoughts and even words.
Respect is a quality of CONSCIOUS attraction and when a woman
sees a guy without this quality, he will never be considered
a potential mate or even as a friend.
When you are talking to your girl, maybe you have a habit
if treating her like your male pals and punching her on the
arm or roughing her up a bit, that can be interpreted as a
sign of disrespect, so stop it immediately.
Or when you talk to her in the same manner as you do to your
'bros' using harsh words and sometimes disparaging
remarks.
These are all signs of disrespect which you might not have
realized before because you and her have such a comfortable
friendship, you've seen it as being acceptable.
It is not! The key to getting her attracted to you, is to
treat her how you treat your mother- with the UTMOST RESPECT!
Unless, of course, if you'd like to go with the 'hard
to get' bad boy route to get women, that'll be a DIFFERENT
thing altogether...
2) Be a Not-So-Nice Guy
Now, if you behave like a spineless wimp, without any
principles and you do whatever anyone tells you - then it's
going to be tough to make a woman respect you.
None of them likes a man who always bends to other people's
whims and fancy while denying his own needs, interests and
desires.
A woman will respect you more when she sees you standing up
for your belief and principles rather than caving in to other
people all the time.
When you show someone that you have principle and that you
draw the line in matters and no one, I repeat no one, should
be crossing them, then you are sending out signals that you
a man in total control and you won't allow yourself to be
trampled on and used as a doormat even by her.
If all this while you have been giving in because you thought
that was the polite thing to do, or simply because you're a
'nice guy' that can be persuaded to do anything, then it's
time to STOP people from pushing you around and making use of
you.
3) Apply Truth-Disconnect
When I say 'strong' I am not implying physical strength but
more towards inner strength as in strength in character.
How can you establish respect to a woman?
One way to do so is by saying NO.
Saying no to the woman you are interested in at the
appropriate time, will only serve to intensify her interest
more. This could probably be the one word she hardly hears
from anyone or you throughout the course of your friendship,
but after she gets over the initial shock of it, she'll start
seeing you differently.
"This guys, is what we want."
You'll hear her say.
You don't want to get her spoilt and run to you every time she
wants a shopping partner or someone to take her someplace to
meet someone.
You're not obliged to do so and make it known to her. Say no!
Get it clear that you're NOT her emotional sponge and don't
be. Try being selfish a little, pull back, and you'll find
that SHE'LL be the one to start giving in to you.
And PLEASE remember that once you have said no, STAY FIRM.
Don't change your mind so easily after she gives you her
pleading puppy dog eyes which almost always melts your
heart.
Don't let het have your way with you all the time and if you
change your mind from saying no to saying yes, it's as bad
if not worse than saying no to her.
When she asks you to go someplace you don't want to go,
say NO. When she asks you to do something you don't want to
do, say NO.
4) Avoiding The Common Mistake
The greatest mistake most guys do when they are trying to
win over a female is being TOO NICE to her. At first, your
kindness can be most charming to her, but soon it will grow
monotonous and it will seem that you are trying too hard
to please and seem insecure to her.
Instead of overwhelming your friend with niceness, with your
pleasing words and grand gestures, try being 'selfish' with
her a few times and piss her off a little lol.
Serious.
She'll look at you differently and will have a new found
respect for you.
5) Create Constant Attraction
Learning how to create attraction with women is not
'accidental'. If you'are always at tails end as to why
you're not seeing the results you want with women, like it or
not, women are COMPLEX individuals. FAR DIFFERENT, almost
total opposites of how we think as men.
Good news is, there IS a way around it. Understanding
how they think and what they're always looking for in a man
is CRUCIAL to your success with women.
You'll need to learn specific techniques that
are PROVEN to work in REAL-LIFE from people who are ALREADY
successful with women...
Hmm.. If all else fail, perhaps, you could start memorizing the rosary..
Pray always=)

Complicated Girls
Girls are just way too complicated. One moment they like you, next they hate you. They do have this unpredictable behavior. I can 't really explain it. Now, I'm starting to believe that they are from Venus and I'm from Mars. Anyhow, let me help you unveil the mystique of this specie. After all, they're making me smile once in a while.
