Hey there friends,
I could use a little advice. I'll be travelling to the Philippines soon to see my darling Cielo in Roxas City, however I'll have a 23 1/2 hour lay over in Manila. I am definately NOT staying at the airport for 23 1/2 hours LOL so I've been looking through hotels and such near by to the airport and trying to decide where to stay. Can you give me some advice?
My flight from Los Angels to Manila will be the better part of 13 hours so something with good food and services, spa, exercize room maybe even a casino would be nice. Price wont be a huge issue. Safety is a must as I don't want to look like "Joe Tourist" for any longer than I have to. Close to the airport would definately be nice. Does anyone have an experience in these matters? I could use the advice. Thanks friends. 
Will

My Life...an Update

Well, It's been a long time since I've blogged so I thought I'd write an update.
Cielo and I have been doing amazingly. We still chat every night for hours at a time, using web cams, voice chat and even playing games like "Sea Battle", "Hang Man" and many others. We have been chatting and playing on Skype.com instead of yahoomessenger as Skype seems to be working far better. A friend here actually referred us to Skype. We are so in love and happy and are thrilled to get to meet each other face to face at the end of march.
Work has been great. I clean pools for a living and am back up to 60 accounts. I am hoping to build the business up to 80-90 accounts by October then sell the entire business and move out of California to North Carolina.
So far I have been sticking to all of my New Years resolutions, eatting healthy, exercizing often and organizing my life completely. That's not my normal style but I have to admit its been great. Ive been achieving a lot more than before.
Otherwise thats it really. nothing new to report on life. I think my gold membership here finally expired. I thought I had it on cancel and it was still on renew...so I ended up with a few extra months.
I still havent made that MySpace or FaceBook page yet. I havent had the time or headspace for it really. I've been so busy with other things I just havent been up for it and it would be just one more thing to update. I barely log on here to FFF anymore actually. Nightly exercize and business paperwork take up my free time and chatting with my love Cielo has been the best part of my day for over 2 months now.
I hope everyone else here on FFF are doing well. Not sure when I'll blog again but I'm not hard to find if anyone wants to chat. just drop me an email 
Happy 2008!

An anniversary wish

Today is my one month anniversarry of my darling love Cielo and I committing our hearts to each other.
What an amazing month it has been. For a long distance relationship I can really say that web cams and voice chat over yahoo messenger has really helped a lot. It doesn't make our first meeting in April come any faster but it definately makes the time inbetween far more pleasant having her company each night
I am truly breath taken and beside myself with happiness at how special she makes me feel and all the little things she does to remind me of her love for me. She has really given me hope that true love exists and that happiness is something worth persuing and fighting for.
For this, our one month anniversary, cielo, my love I can only say thank you for being in my life and for simply being you. I believe in the depths of my heart that you are indeed that soulmate that I have been searching for and I hope this first month anniversary leads us to many many more wonderful years of happy anniversaries together. I have grown to love you so very much and am greatful for all the love and care that you show. Happy anniversary my dearest love.
I hope all others seeking it find such happiness as well. The holiday and new year are quickly comming. Its a time of hope and a time of new beginnings. May all your wishes come true.
Will

Thoughts on the modern age
|
Posted:Dec 3, 2007 12:36 pm
Last Updated:Dec 4, 2007 11:55 am 9831 Views

Have you ever felt out of sorts with the world? Like perhaps you should have been born in a different generation or simply just can't relate with the attitudes and goings on of the modern age? I feel that sometimes.
Has the divorce rate always been so high? Have religious groups always tried to meddle in the affairs of state and government, sacrificing others freedom for their own devious device?
Have people always been so lacking in honor? Has money always been so important? Has happiness always been so difficult a thing to strive for?
I understand in Australia the people are so friendly that if you break down on the side of the road a stranger will most frequently stop to aid you without a second thought with a smiling "having troubles mate?".
Is it just me or does the world in general just seem a little less friendly these days? Is it the population growth perhaps causing people to feel less welcome in life?
What happened to old chivalric values? now people go to clubs simply to find a one night lover and nothing further to do. Drugs and alcohol and the internet often seem shields from reality in these awkward times.
Is America still the shining light in the world that it once was? Or was it ever really that I wonder. Perhaps, like a McDonald's happy meal it was just well packaged and marketed.
I see the world, the news, events around me and peoples attitudes and truly genuine and good people seem harder and harder to find. Maybe it is just where I am at the moment or my own state of mind? Does anyone else feel this...stagnant air of life around them...from the worlds pollution of the mind?
What kind of world do we live in when thousands protest to execute a teacher from the U.K who allowed one of her students to name a teddy bear mohamed? It was the students own name as well. Death...for that? Can todays religious groups live together on the same planet in peace? Is this still a good planet to bring a into and raise it?
Sometimes I feel like the Earth is an old car that we haven't taken care of. We have ignored the oil light being on for months, we haven't changed the oil in ages, the tires are balding with a nail in them, it hasn't been tuned up in years and yet we still drive it like it were brand new and use it for heavy work. you ever feel like something was about to break...but you weren't sure what?
Sometimes, I just get a bad feeling. Not to sound negative, I'm usually a pretty optimistic guy. I have much in my life to be thankful for. But lately, these past few years...I don't know really...I just have a bad feeling about the world in general. Rome couldn't fix the world even when it was much smaller and over time they destroyed themselves from within. Perhaps it is a natural cycle? Only there wont be swords and spears this time around. All these weapons of mass destruction and unstable countries make me nervous.
People themselves seem very self centered as well. I don't mean just in the dating scene, although it is plainly seen there by many I'm sure. Does the U.S. consider economic progress by how many new millionaires are created each year? Or by how many less people live in poverty?
Is it my imagination or do others think about these things sometimes as well? Maybe i just watch the news too much.

April in a snail's shell

April, in a snail's shell makes steady pace, so slow.
I see her lovely smile everyplace I go.
Her home so far away from mine, a journey I will make.
I must look deep within her eyes, for sacred vows I'll take.
April in a snail's shell, a day a year I feel.
To hold her once unto my arms, to know that she is real.
Her words are sweet as honey, and her heart to me so true.
With absolute affection, I whisper I love you.
April in a snail's shell, alas five months to go.
It struggles through winter's gripping chill, it's rain and sleet and snow.
Why can't it be March, or even February will do.
Why does it seem so long to wait, til at last I can see you.
April in a snail's shell, like molasses from a tree.
It's funny how love can alter time, while setting
hearts so free.
I bet when April comes around, it's snail's shell to cast.
That love will soar as an eagle, and time will fly, by far too fast.
April in a snail's shell, like waiting to be born.
I long for the time, the clocks face smiling, two lovers hearts to be sworn.
In the end such time is short, a mere moment in my life.
I more regret having only one lifetime, to dedicate to one I'd call my wife.
For you, my darling love Cielo.
Forever yours,
Will

At first when i saw her picture, I thought "what a cute little goth type chick, mysterious in her way yet somehow like a distant gravity...catching my attention".
There wasnt a romantic spark there as there were really no details in her profile...no anonymous yet stood out so much. she struck me as peculiar, innocent and harmless yet very interesting. Perhaps she is an artist, a writter or performer of sorts. i really couldn't say or even dare to guess, but something about her, maybe just that simple picture appealed to my imagination. Perhaps it is what was not there that showed so much.
I started reading her blogs as I first wrote my own very first ever blog. I wanted to know what it was to blog...what it meant. I had always heard the term and everyone else seemed to know about it, but i was embarrassed to ask and didnt worry much over it as I had never blogged before anyhow.
Reading her blogs, however became as important to me as reading the "Calvin and Hobbes" comic strip when I was younger. I loved em. Just couldnt get enough. they were like friends that I could start my day with, always giving me a new perspective that I had never seen before or a well needed laugh. JuN's blogs kinda had that same feel...just a warmth, an underlying intelligence, wisdom and such a sense of humor.
Now that Jun has closed her blog I feel kind of that same emptiness as when the writter of "Calvin and Hobbes" stopped writting. I missed that extra ray of sunshine each day.
I never knew her aside from her blog writtings. she remains as peculiar and mysterious as the first time i saw her profile. I often wondered "who is this girl?", not out of romantic interest as I am quite taken and in love with my darling Cielo, but that JuN might make for a very good friend. I was curious about what makes such an interesting and mysterious young lady.
Now, all I can say is thank you for what she did share with us. Thank you JuN for those little rays of sunshine...and the occassional cloud or too to give well needed shade at times.
I see that you closed your profile. Know that you will be missed, at least by me even though I never had the opportunity to know you. Thank you though for sharing what you have with us. many a smile and laugh did you give a complete stranger as me so far away. Take care lil JuNLaiNe. You will be missed dear.
*hugs JuN warmly*

A little advice for the ladies looking for love
|
Posted:Nov 25, 2007 1:15 pm
Last Updated:Nov 26, 2007 2:41 am 9900 Views

My dear friends,
Ive noticed that many ladies often want a man to ask about them, even though they offer little information on their profile. I thought on this matter I might offer a bit of advice.
Men are really simple creatures, but are very visual. It is in our chromosomes. We cant help it
Place a picture...or many of them. Much like the instructions to plug in a DVD player...we dont read them, we look at the pictures briefly so pictures are a great way to gain our attention. Sure it would be romantic to have the man of your dreams single you out and send you an email, but we are at the mercy of our genes and with so many hundreds of pictures available to view...it is like the path of least resistance to start with pictures. With so much competition, the internet isnt a good place to be shy. Love is often a numbers game and the more exposure and notice you have the more likely that Mr. Right will find you.
Next, life is in the details...so fill them out. In fact, fill out every bit of detail you are willing to. Tell about your favorite movies, books, music...anything and everything, your height, weight status and such. The picture is a good way to pique a mans curiousity...but from there you want to make a connection with your Mr. Right.
Once you have your pictures set up and your profile filled out start making a blog and update it now and again. a blog is like a personal journal for others to view and comment on. you can put poems, thoughts or just about anything yould like to share there. This will allow Mr. Right a more personal window into your life and your deep inner most thoughts. They say the meek may inherit the earth...but if they are meek when there are hundreds of other girls looking on the same place for that special man...the meek will likely remain single, so don't be shy.
Another way to help gain exposure is to chat on the many chat rooms available.
You might be engaged in a conversation and never know who might be in the room as well. you might say something that really gets his attention, that special spark that makes him view your profile. "Luck is when preparedness meets opportunity" so be prepared and available if opportunity should come knocking.
My darling Cielo, the love of my life had found me here. she had read personal details in my profile and my blogs that really cought her attention. Had it not been for that exposure I might have missed the opportunity for the divine and wonderful happiness that I feel now.
Mr. Right is out there ladies,
and he is looking for you. Help him out a little else if you keep hiding he may never find you.
I spent many years of my life being shy and quiet and it has warranted me nothing. i have lost so many opportunities and fun times because of being shy. time to break free and find your Mr. Right. He is often much closer than you might think.
Happy hunting
Will

Expiration on 11/30 - a kind farewell

Well friends,
The expiration date on my journey here on this site clses in. I have found the girl of my dreams and would like to persue her only. Being that finding such a girl was my objest here I have decided to allow my account to expire since Cielo and I talk nightly by way of ym, web cams and even on the phone.
Id really like to thank so many wonderful people here on this site for making my experience a very pleasant one and intruducing me to the beauty and charming culture of the philippines and their warm hearted people.
While comming across so many old men seeking young wives was creepy, the warnings of witchcraft and such were a surprise, and over exhuberant old military officers from my own country were enough to bring shame and embarrassment for my own countrymen, for the most part the population of this site has been fantastic.
If any would like to keep in touch please feel free to drop me an email here on this site to exchange ym names. It is always nice to have new friends. My account expires on the 30th of November so i have about a week.
Thank you for making this experience such a pleasureable one. Cielo, my sweetheart and dearest love thank you for finding me here. My life will be forever changed and blessed for having you in my life and I am so very excited to see you in April. thank you for giving my heart wings and a voice to sing, darling. I love you most dearly.
Thank you again all. With my warmest wishes of hope and for a happy holiday I bid thee a kind farewell.
Will

I am so flustered today I can not even make a rhyme.
I am struck so speechless by just how amazing she is and the many unexpected ways she shows her love for me.
She sends me beautiful emails to wake up to each day. i start my day off with a wonderful smile, knowing she loves me. It keeps me happy all the day through.
She sent me a clip of my favorite cartoon as a . It was put to a love song. We had never talked about such before and she must have read it from deep within my profile. She really looks deeply into my life and takes the time and care to know me, even my secret little desires and such, just to know me better.
It feels like Ive just been knocked over by a hurricane and am completely floored wondering "What just hit me?!", as it could only be love.
I would try to make a beautiful poem today, but wow, i am simply so overwhelmed I fumble with my own thoughts. i feel like an infant in such a beautiful way. I feel almost as if I am being newly born into love and experiencing it for the very first time.
Before, past loves have been like a faint scar, with good memories at times but still that pained notion of a look back to yesterday.
Now, past loves seem distant like a past life, barely even a memory, like a wisp of mist in the wind.
Ive been in love before, almost married...twice, but never ever like this. I don't want to imagine my life without her.
she does so many things, little things. They say life is in the small details. she does things she doesn't have to do as she has already won my heart, and yet she does them anyway.
I only hope I am worthy and man enough to make her feel the same and to forever give her the love and affection she so wonderfully shares with me.
She is like no other.
I love you dearly, Ciel
Will
