My High School Physics Teacher

Of all the teachers that I had, no one could ever compare to Sir Dixie. He was one of the greatest teachers that I had during High School. I could not forget the times when he's teaching about Newton's Laws that he would always draw a perfect circle (no oversized compass!!!) and an apple. All of us were really amazed and that we even try to mimic the way he would draw the perfect circle but we can't do it. I even remember him saying a love quote that is related to the equation presented in Pythagorean Theorem. It goes like this... "I may be a 6, you may be an 8, but together, we will make a perfect 10."
He did not only taught Physics to us, but his experiences that will surely be a guide to us. He shared his experience on his ride to a jeepney with another passenger smoking. Of course, he politely told the man to stop smoking in the PUJ and it's good that the man did. I've learned how important courtesy is from his experience.
I sure did learn a lot of things from him. He has really made a big impact on my life.

Men and Marriage: Don't Fool Yourself, It's Not That
Complicated (from a man's point of view)

WARNING: I got this article from an e-mail. I want to hear your comments on this.

Last week we threw a bachelor party for one of our good friends and then on Saturday afternoon we stood beside him in our tuxes while he and his fiancee said their vows. As I stood up there looking across the crowd, I decided that our next topic on this page would definitely talk about marriage. I also realized that alot of women may not want to hear the truth about men and marriage because the truth is so simple that they could not accept it without questioning their own relationship.
But I am here to tell you - DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.
The sad thing about it is that it took a woman to bring it to my attention. I had a close friend of mine tell me that she was persuing a stable man with a girlfriend. When I asked her did she feel wrong about that she said "Shyt, a girlfriend ain't nothin - girlfriends come and go.
If the man is established and he isn't either married or engaged, then he is not that serious about her and he is fair game" I thought about this for a minute and came to a cold conclusion: IF A MAN IS STABLE IN LIFE AND HE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP AND NOT MARRIED, THEN IT IS BECAUSE HE IS NOT SURE ABOUT THE WOMAN THAT HE IS WITH.
He is not willing to commit to her and constantly has his eye open for something better or is waiting for her to become something better. Point blank. When he finds a woman that he is satisfied with, he will make her his wife.
And ladies, sorry to tell some of you, but it doesn't take 4 or 5 years for that man to figure it out. It doesn't take 2 or 3 years either. The only reason that a man will get married after that long of a time is because he's tired of looking for something better. And trust me, that's definitely what he was doing all of those years.
So if you should happen to find yourself in one of those "long term" relationships then maybe you should step back, take a look at yourself and wonder what it is that you're missing that this man is not willing to fully commit. Don't make excuses to yourself and your girlfriends saying things like "Oh he's waiting til he gets a better job" or "he's waiting to finish school" or "he's waiting until he moves from his apartment to a house". DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED. Which one of those things can't be done with a wife or fiancee by your side?
So ladies, when you read this think about your situation and that man that you are living with. Or the one that you spend many nights over his house or him over yours. Think about your baby's father that you are still in a sexual relationship with. Think about your "ex" that you are in a sexual relationship with. Think about your "boyfriend". And definitely think twice before you brag on a relationship that's a couple of years long and you still have no commitment.
Like I've said before, I'm a man and I know the situation. I've been there and I know that we can come up with some extremely reasonable excuses, but.....DON'T FOOL YOURSELF, IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED.

BLURred

I had my eyes examined last Sunday at Sarabia Optical Greenbelt 1. Afterwhich, I was surprised to find out that my left eye has a grade of 50 while the right eye has a grade of 150. It really has a big difference isn't it? Yesterday, I claimed my eyeglasses. I have a much sharper view than before. But, I could still manage without eyeglasses.

My Nephews

My nephews were here in the afternoon. I missed them so much. I haven't seen them for the past weeks. The moment I saw them the way they hugged my brother (their father) and the moment that they cried everytime he would turn around or put them down after carrying one of them, it reminds me of something. Yes, I'm in a Senti mode. It reminded me of the times when my Mom and Dad separated. I feel what my nephews feel. They are spending time with their Dad and that they would not want their time with their Dad to lessen a bit. I guess that's the reason why they cry everytime he would just walk out of the house and take his cigarette break.
