Before my thoughts on this matter slip out of my mind, I better write them down.  In response to those truths about men I posted earlier… Guys, here are some views for you to ponder on so you can understand us women better inasmuch as we try to understand you in return.  Let’s just celebrate our likeness and embrace our differences.  Read on.

1.  I need to hear you love me at least once a week.  It’s one of the most comforting statements I could keep to survive my daily battles.

2.  I’ll do anything for love.

3.  If you don’t want to argue with me, don’t give me reasons to be upset with you.

4.  I don’t like men with long hair. Period.

5.  If I open up to you and cry my heart out, I don’t need solutions.  I just want you to listen.

6.  When I say “no” during confrontations, I really mean “yes”. (Like “Galit ka ba?”)

7.  Whenever I ask you if I look too fat or not, I am not expecting for truths or lies but acceptance for what I am inspite of.

8.  I notice other men who are more physically attractive than you are but ‘yon lang ‘yon.

9.  I feel happier when I see you happy.

10. If I don’t feel anymore that I am making you happy, I’d suspect you’re falling in love with another woman.

11. The reason why it takes too long for me to get dressed is because I want to look my best for you.

12. If ever I smoke, it’s a sign of power and being in control with myself.

13. I get scared if you tell me you need me. I’d rather hear that you want me.

14. If you can stand my moods and quirks, you’re in for the long haul.

15. If you hurt my feelings, all I need to hear is a sincere “Sorry” for me to forgive and forget.

16. If you did something really hurtful, I’d leave you even if I still love you.

17. I do appreciate a man who knows and provides for my needs without me asking.

18. If you are too vain, I’d think you’re gay.

19. Never ever criticize me for my looks. I will never forget it.

20. I love it when you just let me talk and talk and talk about how my day went and just give me a kiss without saying anything.

21. Every single thing that you do for me is forever etched in my heart.  I may not say thank you all the time but I do appreciate your efforts, big and small.

22. If you can fulfill my emotional needs, you won’t be having some difficult time turning me on.

23. I hate it when you don’t ask for my help at all.  It makes me feel you don’t consider me as your partner.

24. If you sleep over, I’d expect that you do your share in the chores.  You’re not a guest, remember?

25. I prefer making love, not having just sex. Get it?

26. If I smile back, I like you.

27. If I seek your advice or opinion, it means I trust you.

28. Sometimes, I like being pursued aggressively.  ‘Yoko ng torpe.

29. You’ll earn my respect if you can keep your promises.

30. When other girls flirt with you, I get jealous.  But behind the smirk, I actually  feel proud that others still find you interesting.

31. When I am upset, I tend to be emotional.  But I’m not angry at you, I’m angry at what you did.

32. I love surprises! (Even if I tell you I don’t.)

33. When I’m with you, don’t gaze at other women.  It makes me feel insecure.

34. I’m always in touch with my feelings.  I tend to focus more on relationships rather than achievements.

35. Sometimes, I appreciate if you tell me what you want.  I’ll be glad to do things for you, too.

36. When I am angry and tells you, “‘Wag ka munang magpapakita, ‘wag mo akong tatawagan!”, I secretly hope you’ll do the opposite.

37. I am a pleaser especially if I really love my man.

38. If I do mention about an ex, it doesn’t mean that I’m making you jealous or making a comparison. I just want you to know how far better and more special you are than the rest.

39. If I don’t share with you what I am thinking, it’s because it’s not about you.  It’s about somebody or something else.

40. I also hate arguments.  Being nagged about the past turns me off.

41. I love it when you hold my hand while we are watching a movie. 

42. Telling me outrightly not to wear this or that gives me the impression that you want to change me.

43. A gentleman like you should still open doors for me even if I swear to high heavens that I am a hardcore feminist.  Any act of chivalry never fails to make a good impression.

44. If I tell you we are better off as friends, better believe me. I really mean it.

45. I am more attracted to your brains than to your body.

46. If I act strangely and don’t even bother to call or see you, brace yourself.  I have fallen out of love. 

47. When I am upset, I need to talk it out for me to feel better.

48. Cheat on me once, maybe I can still forgive you.  But the degree or intensity of what I feel for you will never be the same again. (Meaning, magbi-break din tayo.)

49. If I’ve really fallen in love with you, I’ll remember all the details the first time we met.

50. If I’ve shown you my baby pictures and brought you to places very significant to me, that means I am sooo in love with you!

Need I say more??

While surfing the Net for some Barbie Room Makeover Games that my niece has asked me to do, I came across a site containing some blogs tackling men’s and women’s issues.  One particular article that caught my attention was the “50 Universal Truths About Men” written by a guy.  I find it quite amusing and interesting so I am posting it here in verbatim.

1.  Why should I remind you that “I love you?”  I already told you once.

2.  I’ll do anything for sex; even commit to you for life.

3.  I hate arguing with you.  I’d rather find a compromise.

4.  I love long hair.  Sorry, but I do.

5.  When you speak softly, I can’t help but listen.

6.  I need to be told “no” sometimes.  Not a lot, but every now and again reminds me that you are expensive.

7.  Please don’t ask me how you look unless you’re willing to trust my answer.

8.  My eyes notice other women a lot more when you are upset with me.

9.  When you’re happy with me, I can’t help but want to please you.

10. If I don’t feel I can make you happy, it makes me feel less than a man.

11. I expect you to be ready when I pick you up.

12. Cigarettes make any woman look cheap and easy.

13. I’m scared if I let a woman inside my heart, she’ll take advantage of me.

14. If you can’t stand up to me when I’m a brat, you’re too weak to open up to when I’m upset.

15. Sitting quietly next to me after you’ve made a meal is your get-out-of-the-doghouse-free ticket.  You’ll be surprised how quickly I can forgive.

16. You did something hurtful.  If I never bring it up, I’m considering leaving you.

17. I don’t read minds.  Remember, I’m not a girl.

18. You may know fashion, but I wish you’d dress to please me, not other women.

19. If I’m losing my hair, it’s not funny.  Would you like me to joke about your weight?

20. When I talk to you about golf and you act bored, it would be nice for you to remember all the times I listened to you talk about what is important to you.

21. The woman I love is easy to please.  She appreciates the effort I put into making her happy, even if I get the details wrong.

22. You look hot in a dress.

23. I hate being told what to do when I don’t ask for help.  It makes me feel you’re my mother.

24. If you sleep over, I might eventually marry you, but I’m less motivated.

25. During sex my ears are as sensitive to your words as your skin is to my touch.

26. I need some type of signal or cue to walk across the room and approach you. What if you’re married?!

27. It makes me feel like you trust me when you ask for my advice.

28. It feels competitive when you insist on being in charge.

29. Being respected is more important to me than being loved.

30. I want every guy to envy me when we arrive as a couple.  Please don’t let yourself go.

31. When I’m upset I am very tone sensitive.  How you say it is more important than what you say.

32. I hate it when you minimize or ignore my compliments.  It makes me want to stop giving them.

33. I’m more insecure than you think.  Why do you think I need your respect so much?

34. I don’t always know how I feel.  That’s why I don’t tell you.

35. I don’t need you to do things for me.  What I crave is being able to please you.

36. If I do one thing and say something contradictory, go with my actions.  That will always tell you what’s in my heart.

37. I find myself wanting to please you when you simply smile at me without asking for something. (Like a favor.)

38. I really don’t want to hear about any of your ex-boyfriends, regardless of the point.

39. If I don’t share what I’m thinking, it’s because I don’t think you will listen without interrupting.

40. I don’t like to argue and I don’t like to guess what’s wrong.  Just tell me so I can fix it.

41. I love it when you put your hair in a pony tail.  Yes, it’s a Freudian thing.

42. Don’t ask me, “Are you going to wear that?” when I’m already dressed.

43. A gentleman should always be respected by his lady in public, even if she is disagreeing with him.

44. If you don’t believe you’re pretty, you won’t believe me when I tell you, no matter how many times I say it.

45. It isn’t how much you weigh; it’s that your body is proportionate which is so attractive.

46. Sometimes I have weird and strange thoughts.  I don’t take them seriously and I don’t want to share them with you (or anyone).

47. Sometimes you really don’t need to know what I’m thinking. See above.

48. If you cheat on me, it is nearly impossible for me to get over it.

49. I don’t remember everything about our relationship but that doesn’t mean I don’t love you.

50. I need some time to myself to calm down when I’m upset so that I don’t say something I will regret.

Whewww.. How about 50 universal truths about women? Anyone??

Dear God, Thank you for…

I have read somewhere that whenever you feel weary, better count your blessings in order to feel good.  So, I’m listing down the things I should be thankful about:

  • for my life. 35 years and still counting…
  • for good health. I’ve been hospitalized only once.
  • for my family. I have good sisters and a brother plus two pamangkins.
  • for him.  Well, he knows who he is.
  • for my oldies. They keep me grounded (though at times I resent it.)
  • for our home.  The only place I can really be myself.
  • for my Palaris brods and sisses.  My second family.
  • for friends.  They provide the smiles and laughters.
  • for my UP education.  My greatest pride.
  • for having the chance to enjoy what life has to offer. I am privileged to live above the poverty line.
  • for my exes. So may lessons learned and unlearned.
  • for my morena skin.  Brown is also beautiful.
  • for DAGirl. A reminder of how hardworking I am.
  • for my previous jobs.  They gave me the skills, experience, knowledge, and money to survive the world out there. 

And of course,

  • for the intelligence to decipher obscure notions and feelings, analyze problems, discern what’s right from wrong (at least, in my own standards), handle difficult situations, make prudent judgments, and draw up good decisions.

Hmmnn… Not bad.  I have a good life despite the downsides.  What more can I ask for?  Asking for more may be asking too much.  So, I’m leaving the list just at that. Ciao!
