Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke! with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compare! d to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Be! autiful during the day....or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?

What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you continue reading. OKAY?

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to this story?

The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly!!!

Is it recruitment season or what?

I've received invitations to 'dinners' from the reps of Alpha Phi Beta, Sigma Rho, Upsilon, and Scintilla Juris in just a span of 15 days I asked "where" and they replied "anywhere!" with a confident grin as if they owned all restos... we'll see about that...

Since they've been so keen in their desire to prove their generosity, I listed some classy restaurants to help me decide where to get treated:

1) le souffle

2) Shangri-la's Circles

3) Shangri-la's Heat

4) Mandarin oriental

5) Gloria maris

6) Westin (the ultimate buffet!)

7)  Outback? Cravings? MCDO??!!!! hehe...

Hmm... I may be pushing my luck a little bit. We'll see in a few days...

There is no vow of celibacy nor an irreconcilable angst against the opposite sex. However, the dating/flirting thing should stop. NOW.

Why have I come to this decision? Well, for a number of reasons...

1) It's bad. period. Indeed, it's a stumbling block in my walk with God. Doing so also implies an undermining of God's plan for me.

There is no doubt in my mind that there is a girl out there for me. With God's perfect time, He'll reveal it to me... but before that, I have to grow up some more.

2) It's eating up my time and resources.

3) Dating is definitely a hindrance to my studies. A redirection of priorities should be in effect after this.

The issue I have to address now is how to deal with THEM or rather, with myself.

1) My break up with Ms. U recently remains a deep dark scar I'm trying to heal. THe stinging sensation remains after two months of separation. I tried suppressing such thoughts of her by bombarding myself with work and going out with friends but alas, I consistently failed.

I can't help but miss her... the way she giggles @ my corny jokes, how we held hands and how our eyes met, the times we cuddle and how I would lean and smell her hair. These recurring phases are indeed driving me crazy. I have episodes of spacing out on conversations. There were several times when I smelled her familiar scent (same shampoo?) and I would space out in the middle of a conversation, again. It's very inconvenient and some of my blockmates might start questioning my sanity...

2) Ms. J and I have a history - a short abrupt one. It was cut short when I abandoned her in pursuit of Ms. U back in college. Yes, I was definitely an ass back then so I never expected her to invite me out 2 weeks ago. So we went out and talked about ourselves - parents, friends, her BF, careers, dreams, etc.

The conversation proceeded well until she brought in the topic of sex. I was pretty surprised because I had a preconceived notion that she was very conservative based on her family's strict adherence to chastity. She didn't give me a chance to recover from shock when she told me that she wouldn't mind cheating on her BF right there and then...

I left.

3)  Ms. A has been sending signals. No, please don't argue with me. Although the people who knew me quite well may invoke my ignorance as
a case point, I know what I'm talking about. I am aware that when a girl kisses you, hugs you, and sends "i love you" texts, it means something. And the fact that I see her everyday (including some Sundays) gives value to my personal judgments on her behavioral patterns.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen, so what is wrong with this scenario? It is the inevitable fact that I am a GUY and I am ALWAYS TEMPTED to reciprocate such intimate actions (especially since I find her extremely pretty and interesting). Also, how can I say that I am uncomfortable with what she's doing without hurting her feelings and breaking our bond? Arggh!!! Lord! Why are you doing this to me??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4) Ms. C and I have a scheduled date this week. I'm tired. I don't feel that this would benefit her and me. So how can I break the news to her? I had already postponed it several times this month and postponing it now may earn me her lifetime aggression. Do you think I can politely say: "I decide not to date at the moment" without getting slapped? Hmm...

 

As you folks can see, my situation would fit snuggly in an episode of "Temptation Island". There are indeed lots of temptations in being single and my urge to have a girlfriend has never been this potent (probably as a defense mechanism of coping after a break up). But I know that it's not God's plan for me to have a GF yet or to even entertain that idea at this point in my life. Whatever it is Lord, Your will be done, not mine.

4 down. 32 to go.

In an immense state of depression and angst, I have to trade goodbyes with some of my blockmates who would be leaving us. It's times like these when I wish I was devoid of sense and emotion to swallow the hard reality of not seeing them again.

Since I do not have this privilege, I vent my frustrations. I blame the college system. I blame the professors who flunked them. I blame the Socratic method which reduce students to unworthy insects. Blah blah blah

Argh... I'm a terrible whiner

 

To Anton, Marie, Anna, and Frienna... you will be missed. God bless in your future endeavors.

Got my grades. 5 months of grueling physical and mental strain resulted to a less than desirable grade of 2.4. Upon assessing myself, I realized that I was too complacent, too distracted in my studies because of the various events which transpired during the sem.

Sheesh, sounds like I'm invoking another excuse for my mediocre grades... But in hindsight, I see that bad, unexpected events did transpire in the last 5 months. God was indeed testing me and it was through Him that I managed to survive all those and at the same time pass all my subjects. I could not have done it all on my own... it was a tag team effort indeed.

 

basta Lord, next sem mag-DL naman tayo ah
