The fallacy of assumption
 
indeed! sometimes in the midst of trying to define someone we erred on making false assumptions by just the virtue of reading what they posted or in manner their share their engaging thoughts in the chatroom.

do we have the right to make assumptions of others without having thoroughly knowing who they are? at what point do we know someone anyway? would it be enough that by conversing with someone on the chatroom - viola! we certainly know how they are or who they are and what they are.

its hard to validate assumptions specially giving in a timeframe that is to irrational and only based on gut feelings. perhaps was given at a point when somehow unknowingly you have offended someone, bruised their ego or unintentionally invaded their space or at a point wherein you are not in the best of mood. regardless there is nothing wrong with providing assumption and yet there is also nothing wrong in refuting the fallacy of assumption. would i refute assumption? i would not. the burden of truly knowing me is on them. they must on the course of their lives must know me extensively if they want me to be a part of their lives.

be as it may, some of us becomes victim of a false assumption and suddenly most become convinced because of that false assumption that you are indeed such and such without them actually knowing you in an extended period of time.

they said that i have a high regard of myself and that nakarating lang ako sa america ay kung sino na ako. everyone must have a high regard of themselves. by mostly having that, its the foundation of having a healthy life and then acquiring an excellent perspective of life. but to assume that someone only having a high regard of themselves because of where they are or have been or dahil nakarating sa america is making a mockery of one's insecurity.

none of us has the purity of values and therefore assumptions are sometimes false and never right specially given at a point that one never was closed to you or have been intimate with us.

i was not offended by the assumptions accorded on my behalf, after all eveyone has the right to make assumptions and even share it with many. but to others it could be dismaying experience to the point that to them it becomes a nightmare because they have been ill defined by virtue of that assumptions. but no one could ever define us except ourselves. and if you have a high regard of yourself, then nothing matters including false assumption.

too capricious! Nov 6, 2009 8:03 pm
65 Views
its just too capricious for women to want to be pursued tenaciously. why just accept my invitation for a cup of coffee and the let's see how far we can get to know each other?

the way i see pursue is, you are either enjoying the thrill of the pursuit or you are just too rigid in your thinking and more likely once we become an item, it would be hard for me to disagree with you and you will always want it your way with no ifs and buts.

i want a women who can be asserted about her ideas and her way of thinking and yet is also openminded and most of all reasonable.

for me to be put on the path of pursuing you and then sort of testing my sincerity, it means you have the tendency to be unreasonable.

i would never love an unreasonable woman.

i am hardly smitten! Nov 4, 2009 10:32 pm
126 Views
i am hardly smitten, and if i do like you and then you like me too - you have to capture me in that moment in time. you must not ignore me or let me go, you must give me all the attention, caring and affection you can bestow.

if i invite you for a cup of coffee, you must say yes - otherwise once i get back to my senses, then i am back to the way i would like it to be - loving someone practically and not emotionally.

to understand what practical love meant to me, then you must read my blog, "the real score why its hard at my age to fall in love."

if you think i could also be a treasure to consider, you must also read my blog, "10 reasons why i want you to dislike me."

how long the feeling would last! Nov 4, 2009 6:19 pm
132 Views
recent calamitous events in the philippines had me thinking about my preference to live there in few years from now.

i thought there is no wrong or right answer if we choose to live in the philippines or abroad. but for me who has been acclimated living in the united states since 1975 and have adapted to the cultures and ways of america, its a slum dunk that my preference is here.

i thought about what awaits me in the philippines. i am sure its not always splendor and grandeur. of course living in the philippines will be good for the heart and the soul. but how long that feeling would last? would that be permanent?

there will be things that will annoy me from the mundane to the complexity of how things are done or live in the philippines. it will definitely annoy me that others are talking and texting inside the theaters. it will definitely annoy me the layers of corruption whenever a transaction is done. the city's pollution will definitely annoy me. the lack of discipline of disposing one's garbage will definitely annoy me. the unending extravagance of pinoys to spend their hard earned money on inuman and pulutan and the smokes everywhere will definitely not only annoy me but affects my health too.

the apparent differences in the manner the haves and the haves-not lives and interacts in the philippines will definitely annoy me. most of those who have or can afford to have finer things in life in the philippines have that sense of entitlement that those who have less are expected to give way to their capricious and demanding ways of living - that will definitely annoy me considering that i have live in a society that there is less or very minor disparity on how one is treated or served without having to base it on how much one have or earned or what type of car one is driving, or what achievements or a college degree one have. there is no illusionary perception here that because you are well dressed and well spoken, you are therefore have more money than those who are not well dressed and well spoken. the dignity of labor here is truly practice and appreciated and sometimes those who smells stinky and dirty earn more than those who are not.

but beyond the annoyance, the culture is rich and in abundance in caring, sharing, family values and the laughters even in the worst of times. i who have the money like others will definitely live like a king - gone are those days when i have to cook my own food, do my laundry and iron my clothes, wash the dishes and the many things that i toil with everyday.

one pitfall of living in the philippine is how to maneuver daily of refraining from being an ATM. i know that this area is a great challenge for me knowing that i am gullible and a sucker for those who had sad stories to share. even if they don't or won't ask or beg me for my kindness, its not that easy to walk away and ignore the predicaments of the many friends and relatives i have there. i have to help them and its the right thing to do because i have the means to help. but then the true purpose of living there in simplicity and abundance will be defeated by the constant needs of my friends and relatives.

but i know that the surest way for me not to yearn of living in the philippines is to share my heart and my means to live a good life in america with someone deserving of my love and affection. i will definitely pursue her after the holiday. its only when our heart are restless that we thought of living somewhere else and that living in the philippines is so inviting. america is my place because there is where my kids and grandkids are. AND ITS ALSO GOING TO BE THE PLACE OF THAT SOMEONE I WILL LOVE.

Antonio [10:52 AM]:
i share it with you to not feel bad about me not having intimate sex. but i dont. i will trade those escapade with a kiss from you. gosh its been awhile since i kiss someone. kiss is much better than sex with someone you have no feelings for
i felt how much i love you last friday night because i caress your lips, your hair, your face and hold your hands. it was magical for me
Tan [10:54 AM]:
lol...get over it my friend.
Antonio [10:55 AM]:

the real score why its hard at my age to fall in love! Oct 31, 2009 5:17 pm
262 Views
yes i have a hard time falling in love. its been almost a decade since the last time i fall in love.

i guess with age comes the wisdom of experience, that one is better off than complicating one's life in the name of love. simplicity of life brings along with it an extraordinary opportunity to enjoy living a life not predicated on having relationship exclusively with someone like boy meets girl. you can always do whatever you want and what pleases you without hurting one's feelings or being answerable to one.

yes i went out last night with my women friends (one of them was my platonic) and we had a blast. this is only shared as a point of reference that one can still have a blast in living a life without that special someone "boy meets girl."

i have interactions and conversations with women everyday specially on the weekdays, and sometimes they want to see me on the weekends too. 3 of them i have became their sounding board for what bothers them or when they want my point of view. these are beautiful women in their early 30s, driven and career oriented too. i have regular lunch and dinner date with anyone of them and all of them knew my special relationship with the other. but i spend most of my time with my platonic friend.

just like most everyone i went to the processes and experiences of love like puppy love, first love and other loves that were heart based or emotional based.

this time at my age if i have to fall in love, it must be practical love. practical love is knowing who she is over a period of time. she must meet the test of the ten or 13 reasons to dislike me that i previously wrote in my blogs.

my preponderance of enjoying, staying and being successful in love is if its a practical love. in practical love like in any other love there is also an attraction between the two of you. but you bring it 3 or 4 times notch higher by considering other qualities of both of you that will sort of give the highest preponderance of success of that relationship.

practical love is forward looking. unlike emotional love that is sometimes spur of the moment thing that unravels to a point of disappointment by knowing that after the passion wanes, they could no longer stand each other and with regrets of having went into that relationship. emotional love is seldom forward looking about the practicalities of sustaining that love other than passion.

in practical love, i do consider her sensibilities. is she down to earth? does she reacts easily or annoyed easily? does she has the wisdom of experience of living a life of successes and likewise disappointments? is she condescending or not? does she has the patience to understand or does she embrace the understanding that we are all uniquely different?

in practical love, the way she treats others too is very important specially in dealings with the less fortunate, less educated and those who really have less in life - is she imposing in that regards and displaying an arrogant attitude of entitlement? is she forgiving or she holds on to the grudges devilishly forever that it affects her relationship with others and her own quality of life?

can she pause and think for a moment before she decides or before expressing that barrages of insults and irrational behavior to others that displeases her and not in conformity with her attitude and expectation? and if she does, could she find herself remorseful of the things that were said wrongly and even accusatory? can she forgive or better yet can she initiate offering the olive branch?

if you are also into practical love, please let me know and perhaps you can join me in a voyage of discovery that will culminate in an endearing and enduring relationship, totally not based or is independent from the spur of the moment of passion.

i am happy for her the way she is! Oct 29, 2009 11:59 am
319 Views
yes indeed i am happy for her the way she is. yes we should all be happy for anyone however they are acting so irrational and beyond grace and decency. she has every right to act that way.

sometimes the beauty of truly living one life is to live it not in conformity with the expectation of others, and just live it the way one likes to live it. to hell with what others say, its our lives anyway!

but then would it be sensible to live such sort of a non-conformist life, sometimes even at the expense of demeaning oneself? how one would realize that at some point in time, that sensibility and maintaining one dignity matters a lot than more than anything - even at settling a score or proving that you are a better person than others?

if we are offended by someone directly or indirectly, do we continue to add insult in the manner by which we deal with such offense? or we are better off by going to the other extreme of being understanding and with tolerance of individual differences? and then at some point being forgiving. they said that to forgive is divine.

what if someone who you thought has wronged you try to right the wrong even if the only wronged he or she did is to be different from you and from most everyone, or by being different by being brutally blunt and honest? or specifically in my case or of my blogs that seemed so indifferent because it has an overzealous sense of arrogance, conceitedness and not self deprecating.

would i be truly all that and in all respects i have no good things to offer and that i am totally devoid of great human qualities such as kindness, humility, sensible, forgiving and being down to earth?

so how would we like someone anyway? do we measure one's likability by his or her writings, by the way he or she talks or projects herself or himself? do we dislike someone at an instant and close the door for objectivity that somehow and soon he or she too could be likable?

if we dislike a person, should it be forever that we won't even make an attempt to find a common ground or attempt to be polite in our manners and temperaments toward such person?

how do we bring over a person we dislike or how could we transform ourselves in liking a person we dislike? would if be possible to like a person we dislike?

i think we can like a person we disliked by being open minded and by being readily objective when such a person displays such many audacious qualities to be liked.

at some point if we continue to dislike someone, it would somehow diminish too the quality of life we live - that we are forever resentful of that person.

update on my mistake! Oct 28, 2009 8:43 pm

i will post a comment instead on my update on my mistake i wrote about and shared below!

i made a mistake! Jun 22, 2009 12:04 pm
596 Views

i made a mistake. no its not about relationship. there are no mistakes and regrets in a relationship - for me personally. there are consequences in a relationship which are either successful or not, joyful or painful, rewarding or disappointing, comforting or stressful, made in heaven or in hell, and on and on.

the mistake i made is about giving up on the disciplined rigorous physical exercise when i retired from the navy in january 2001. i thought to have a complete transformation to civilian life, i must give up those things uniquely military such as rigorous physical exercise and of course the demanding nature that i want things done - with only a click of my finger, they obey and comply.

since i am no longer in the military, i thought there was no need for me to be in my utmost physical shape because there is no longer a physical fitness test that i must pass - which is a career ending if i don't.

now i realized that it was a mistake to give up totally on the regimented physical exercise. now i find myself 12 lbs heavier due to lack of strenuous activities.

i wonder how i managed to gain 12 lbs when i don't eat that much and i am selective with what i eat, only occasionally indulging on foods that are fattening. i even seldom eat rice and i eat too enough fruits and vegetables to keep me healthy.

i am heavier now partly as a result of the aging process i guessed or maybe lack of strenuous mobility. but i go to they gym in the morning for 15 minutes for upper body muscle toning and then i walk every now and then before attending the eb in vegas.

i guessed its a wake up call that i realized i was out of shape when i was in vegas. since then i embarked on losing weights. i now walk regularly and almost everyday since vegas for an hour or more in the afternoon right after the giling-giling and 8'clock (wowowie). i like the girl on 8' clock, the one on the left.

it used to be during my time in the navy, its easy to run 5 miles a day. but now i could not see myself or even force myself running a mile a day. so i settle for just walking. walking nevertheless is much better than being a couch potato. i am hoping that i can sustain my walking throughout.

i guess we won't know or becomes aware of the mistake we made until we have some sort of personal reckoning. yes as i looked at myself now, i felt pathetic that i am out of shape.

its never too late to rectify the mistake i made and get in shape again and hopefully by the next eb, i am 6 bls lighter.
