This caught my attention.
The hardest part is admitting your fault, true! But saying sorry and to rectify what has been done to hurt will not diminish your person. In fact, it restores your confidence, respect. Maybe not trust, but you will have a chance for reconciliation and reparation.

I know most members in this site are either alone or having at most two family members living within their home/s. I have always wanted know how one goes about their monthly spendings. I know basics would always be a major part, like food and utilities, also personal liabilities like home mortgage or car loans. There_ is also the miscellaneous for frivolities, entertainment, travel, grooming, etc. or a contingency fund set aside, either as savings or for emergency purposes.
For those are single, we Pinoys, are obligated to_ set aside a portion of our income monthly for sending either as_support to_a family back home or subsidize monthly expenses on education, house rentals or house amortizations. Whatever the case, earnings would have to_match up all these needed expenses, so it_ is no wonder why one must have 2-3 jobs during the day/night.
These inadequacies also motivate a Filipina to_ marry a foreigner, in the light, that she is able to_ augment or find a partner to_ support partly or wholly, her needs and that of her family back home. Loving the partner may not be a problem at all under these circumstances. There_ is also the fact that, some would find the foreign partner as a good means for fleecing, support their high maintenance cost of living, which them is an easier way out.
Can you add or contribute anything to_ this?

Nope! He wasn't part of the crowd here
I was just trying to_ search somewhere
See if there could be someone there
My profile ran into months thinking now or never.
Then I saw his entry looking at me
Of course I would never pay_ for a fee
This membership that makes me connect
So in one of my photos I posted a comment.
He was quick to read and noticed what I said
He sent me a message_ liked what he read
I just said would be good to_ email_each other
He stuck to_ the site where he pursued to_ converse.
The next thing he wanted meet me_in person
With covid out there_ I hesitated got uncertain
Where can _we_ have coffee it_ was still a lockdown
Then he suggested some patios would be opened.
No dine outs anywhere meeting was a bit futile
But because the open air wasn't as hostile
He decided we could go out with a coffee take out
Find a suitable park that is having benches around.
That started the following meets we often do shopping
We couldn't stay in a place for a sit-down talking
So he invited me one time to_ his house show his place
No qualms going as I had utmost trust with his kind face.
There_ were more meetings including a lot of planting
The fields were barren but there_ was a need for tilling
I often wished to_ plant in a farm when it_ could be spring
It was some dream coming true I was not expecting.
We are most compatible with our likes and interests
Never was any dull moment exchanging our histories
I could stay attuned to all of his witty quips and jeers
With all his endless stories he is a man of many cheers.

Venture to Adventure

For the many years_I have been a member of this particular dating site, with regards to_ my search for a long-term companion, let me say I have met a lot of potentials. They came and went. I even had a close relationship with someone for about 5 years and then we_broke off. Also had met someone who came for a short visit and we remained as email buddies for several years and to_ date, when he returned to_ his country.
I also met someone recently, meaning only about some months ago, this year, who was curious to_ meet me in person as he lives within the area where I live. Visits he had done were limited to accompanying me to places where I love to_ go to_, which I would not be knowledgeable to _reach if I had not_accepted his offer. Since coffee meets are not allowed, we would buy take-outs and eat them in an open park or even just inside the car he drove. Friendship was established but up to only that point.
Now, I had joined another site mostly with members around or within the area near me. So it is easy to have a meet for some coffee take outs, even during this pandemic time and more possible with almost everyone having taken their first covid vaccine dose.
So, am saying this could be another venture to have as another adventure. Of Irish and Scottish descent, but otherwise a local Canadian, he is a widower and 2 years_ my senior. Wishing this turns all right and alright. Betting for a long-term relationship and companionship, this time. We are not getting younger, life is to_ enjoy,

Scanning my viewers I have this greater doubt
There should be more meet than see drought
These golds are not diamonda expect in truth
Except for one who I say won't make you a sleuth.
I can say these characters do make me "windang'
Why bother when it is some waste of wondering
It is always a joke be peeping into their profiles
I'd like to ask though why they keep adding in styles.
Are they or would one still believe he can make "goyo"
Are Pinoys more canny they don't come as "bobo"
Maybe some will be trapped trying to be cunny
Pardon my term it incriminates so am saying sorry.
The thrill of knowing someone new gets dampened
As all can be tales of make believes it always happen
Their shows must go on making them comfortable
Alas! One day Lady Karma disguises an invite to her table.

Love Never Dies

Is really love at first sight even with oldies
Like a puppy love when longed for company
But this time no spoken wait nor halting moments
is so much make up for what was once broken.
Could you still speak of true love when 's the spirit
prompts the passion as its physical no longer lit
Do not spare the sweet words for it's all that could be left
Not will goad a direction 's not ready to_ bend.
Could really be a new beginning that_ starts another saga
Chapters of the past have long booked your sonata
All you see now are beautiful sights nothing will be ugly
Love has once again thrown its dazzles into that magic lie.

What About Rejection
|
Posted:May 20, 2021 11:20 am
Last Updated:May 27, 2021 10:29 am 11597 Views

The pain we bear because we have been rejected breaks a heart full of desire. So true when you speak of a relationship that didn't end well. Even at work, say creating a manuscrit for publishing, when your editor says, it cannot go, goes a tearful sight and feeling. A solution being proposed when you thought you have done your best, catapults your enthusiasm into a frustration and discovering the brain has degenerated, not being able do the desired result.
Pity is the who_ gets rejected by his parents because it_is obvious he is not the apple of their eyes. What about when beaus try their best to_ woo the love of their life and gets jilted or dumped? Oh yes! 's all about pain and terrible disappointment, but that will be temporary.. Meaning, that doesnt end everything.
Rejection is simply a redirection of your efforts. cannot be terminal. It_becomes a way to_ correct your movements and position, with you having in mind the purpose. There_ is no drawback in your intentions, whatever that could be. You just carry on!
I do feel the past rejections in my life, have now been repurposed. There_ is no going back only_ this fotward movement of what I keep on aiming for, no matter the age am in. may not be what you find_ as_ luck but something rewarding after all and despite the setbacks.

When Did you Feel Old

We all go that direction. Some would feel past seniority. But are others are not likely accept despite their faculties showing it. Then again, because an early incapacitation makes one worry over it, feeling old is not an age choosing event at all. With the early onset of grey or white hair, is tell if that one person is truly old? Can you? Majority will accept though that feeling old begins with age 60 and above, with the connotation of being a senior.
I begin feel old when my started becoming responsible and taking over what Mom duties made them grow and mature well. I felt that age crept on me because I had be in the sideline. Major roles that I was busy normally with were taken over already. I know this equates success but somehow remarkably has shown that my limitations are dwindling. But would not want rest and enjoy the rest of the years, beaming with pride and happiness, as age add up.

Omission or Commission
|
Posted:May 14, 2021 9:43 am
Last Updated:May 18, 2021 8:42 pm 11974 Views

I have to ask how to identify one's activities as an omission or commission?
1. Is omission something unintended? Meaning, it happened along the way without you meaning it all? In other words, nothing that can be described as wilful? For example, you forgot, you were stepping on someone's toes, when you were describing a parody, this exaggeration you wanted to mimic in a comic way. Could this be different when one hides an information intendedly?
2. How about with commission? Should I say that this carries a heavier or a major brunt of responsibility in that, knowledge is there in performing the activity deliberately and the consequences of such act is discerning, that one knows a sanction is there or causes as a damaging end-result? Example I can mention is any scamming activity? Or maybe a submitted fake profile with someone else's photo, in a dating site?

Remembering Mom

I thought she'd stay with me for long
Even if she didn't in my heart she'll always belong
We didn't bond as much she being soft spoken
There is much to say about her am truly beholden.
Her words are few her taste so simple
When she's angry in silence she'd struggle
She took care of my when am away
How she handled their riot she wouldn't convey.
On mornings her preparations for breakfast
Plates with a pair of bread buns milk in each glass
A hotdog a peeled hard boiled egg for the
This daily ritual became our constant regiment.
She’d give my their everyday “baon” to school
Cash or some packed food in each of their lunchbox
She’d pay more attention to the youngest of my brood
I remember Simon wouldn’t budge without his two bucks.
Her passing was too sudden efforts to revive all in vain
Told to go home by her cardio to observe her chest pain
While resting she blurted a snore my Dad saw her pallid
She was rushed to ER but she had already gone like a thief.
She taught me how to identify fishes sold in the market
How to dress a chicken then to cook tasty beef brisket
Missing the way she’d cook local veggies it’s sumptuous
I got her crocheting skill which made me so arduous.
Her perseverance is her virtue my best admiration
She stays at home never indulgences on frivolity
You buy her what’s extravagant she’s not happy
But to market she loves going to buy our ration.
A typical housewife she’d also do the gardens
We had plenty of daisies and bougainvilleas.
She converted light curtains as my house clothes
Nothing is wasted she’s very fond of recycling.
Those are my memories of Mom whose photos I lost
She was once a carnival queen according to one cuz
A meek person you hardly hear her ever talking loud
Never argumentative when pissed she’s just quiet.
