There are a scant few things in this world that are just what they are. A piece of paper, for example, could be so many things--a place to draw in, a place to write in, a processed tree, etc., etc.-- while just being a plain piece of paper. How much more complicated are these things...emotion, ambition, belief, reputation...that are so vague to begin with?
No wonder life is so complicated.

Horny-scope
I just read this recently, and anyone who knows me would know why I laughed my head off when I read it.
I tried to keep the ones where my closest friends fall under. I'll treat the first person who can guess why I laughed so hard my snot clogged up my nose and I almost died from lack of oxygen to a slice of "Better than Sex" cake.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
h Ruling Planet: URANUS - The God of unexpected sexual twists and turns
h Aquarians make much better friends than lovers, but when a typical Aquarian gets some bang-bang, it's more an intellectual experience than an emotional one. Looks aren't important to Aquarians in a relationship; it's the mind and spirit of a lover that turns Aquarius on. They are very entertaining in bed and are probably the most inventive of all the signs. Mental stimulation is more important to them than physical, which means that pornography gets them hot! Aquarians are impatient and like sex to be fast and satisfying. They are very particular about hygiene and contraception and sleeping around holds little interest for them.
h FAVE POSITION
Mutual masturbation.

h BEST SEX TOY
A Dildo. Whether gay, straight, male or female, Aquarians will have some fun with this.

He has amazing staying power in the sack. He can keep at it and control himself for as long as it takes for YOU to finish! He's up for anything too. Role playing, S&M, posing nude in the backyard at 5am... he's just not into threesomes, swinging or open relationships if YOU are involved. He'll do that for fun, but not with the love of his life.

Lie down as if you are top and tailing and gently tickle and stroke the ankles and the calves. Don't tickle for
giggles, but tease. After awhile, do the same with your tongue. Lick up, down and all around. Anywhere above the foot and below the knee is fair game. Lightly nip the ankle of your Aquarian, they may laugh, but it's not laughter from tickles, it's a release of tension that will most definitely lead to some action!

ARIES (March 21-April 20)
^ Ruling Planet: MARS - The bonk now, think later God of war, aggression and action!
^ Sexually, Aries is an explosion waiting to happen! The excitement is often in the chase more than the
actual conquest though and while they may appear to want to dominate, they do not want a submissive
partner. Routine brings boredom to sex for Aries, so if you're only comfortable with the missionary position,
go for another sign, but if you like forceful personalities and enjoy pretending you're a human Twistie, then you've found paradise with an Aries.

She'll be gone before you wake up and may not remember your name the next time you meet. She's got a touch of KINK to her personality so don't get freaked out when she talks dirty or puts you over her knee for a spanking. She's all woman, but are you man enough to handle her?

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)
_ Ruling Planet: VENUS - The Goddess in charge of love, beauty and sex
_ Taureans are ahead of the game when it comes to love coz they are ruled by VENUS, the planet of Love! Taurus has all the qualities a lover desires, including sensuality, loyalty and faithfulness. When a typical Taurus makes love, it's the most physical and natural pleasure in the world. They believe the romantic approach to sex almost always pays off so they will happily cook dinner, buy flowers, and light candles for someone they want to bang. They don't like to rush things and take everything, including sex, slowly.
_ FAVE POSITION
The one Taurus enjoys most is the Missionary. Some may say this is so unadventurous, but Taurus is very practical and this is the most comfortable.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
` Ruling Planet: MERCURY - The swiftest God in the skies, who also happens to be in charge of ultra-extreme raunchy talk
` Talking about sex is Gemini's favorite hobby and doing it comes a close second. Gemini's love flirting and lap up attention from the opposite sex, but sometimes that's all they're looking for. They need a lot of variety when it comes to sex - dirty weekends away, a quickie in a shop doorway, serious groping under the table at a fancy restaurant. A lot of Gemini's are bisexual too and can often be drawn to those of the same sex.
` FAVE POSITION
As long as it's different every time, they're not fussy, but if they must choose, it's that naughty number right after 68, since they can come up for air if they need to.

Then, move onto the fingers, slowly kiss, lick, nip and nibble each fingertip, then pull out the killer move - suck on each finger, slowly, as if it's a lollipop.

LEO (July 24 - August 23)
b Ruling Planet: THE SUN - Which isn't a planet at all, but a star, and just like Leo's opinion of themselves, it's the centre of our solar system!
b Leo’s can be very 'into themselves' when they bonk. It's not that they don't make their partner feel special, it's just that they often forget about them as they secretly high-five themselves for scoring again! Leo does actually want more from a partner than just sex though. Leo wants love and friendship too. They can be very romantic, but when they get into bed, it's not an experience they're about to have, it's a show! They like to perform... and they take requests! "Doing it" is the ultimate stress buster for Leo and they are pretty damn good at it, but they need constant praise for their outstanding performance.

b THE BEST WAY
A Leo's 'moan zone' is his or her back. First of all, ask your Leo to roll onto his/her tummy. Start with a gentle scratch that runs from the top of the ass to the base of the skull. I'm not talking about tender tickles or a tantalizing tease - I mean a REAL back scratch, coz if there's one thing cats love, it's a scratch! After a minute or so, get out the massage oil and spill it into a snakey pattern on Leo's back. Then rub all over. Keep doing this until you know Leo is ready to roll over. If they start falling asleep, give them a gentle prod in a delicate place! Once Leo is ready to roll over, don't let them! Leo will be excited by your control. YOU decide when it's time to 'flip your feline' over and get into the good stuff!
BEST WAY
Hips and thighs are extremely sensual for a Sago, so concentrate on massaging and stroking that area and the place in between! Don't be afraid to ask your Sago if you're doing it right coz they would LOVE to tell you! The best way to get them going is to grope their inner thigh in a public place!

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)
d Ruling Planet: VENUS - The planet in charge of beauty, love peace, and stirring sensuality
d Libra is one of the sexiest signs in the Zodiac, but if Libra can't get what they want from one lover, they will opt for two! They are notorious for having double standards in that situation too. They'll look you in the eye and say "never cheat on me, coz I would never do it to you", even when they have a hot night of passion planned with someone else! Librans are more turned on 'giving' than 'receiving'. They have a big heart and are the least selfish sign of the Zodiac. Libras are not very open about their thoughts or fantasies. They'd rather say nothing than tell the truth and offend or embarrass you. In bed, it takes a while for them to be comfortable enough to tell you exactly what they want.

However, he can be a bit of a pushover, and is perfect husband material, and he'd prefer his lover to take the lead. He is romantic and considerate but may suffer from premature ejaculation!

e Scorpios are very possessive. They will tense up if you even LOOK at another hottie across the room. But they can be relied on to always be there for you if you need them. You may never really know what your Scorpio is thinking though, because to them, knowledge is power and they are very good at putting on a straight face to cover up any emotion they are feeling. Scorpios love sex. The dirtier, the better. Get them excited by revealing your filthiest fantasy and offering to act it out.

f Sagos are playful, laid back and oh-so fun to party with. They are wild, and may be the BADDEST party people you ever meet! One thing to be wary of is that Sagos like to talk BULLSHIT! Don't believe everything they tell you because they are kings at 'talking it up'. Sagos probably make better friends than lovers, but if you happen to score a one-nighter with them, be prepared to do stuff you've NEVER done before! Sagos are spontaneous and adventurous and most have probably been caught doing it somewhere public. When they find the right lover, they will give it 100% as long as the commitment is returned.

Typology
I took the Keirsey Temperament Sorter test during a job application and guessed from the appearance of the check marks on my paper that I am an INTJ. I decided to take a similar test online and found that I was classified under INFJ instead.
Funny thing about these two personality types in the temperament sorter is that one letter changed could mean a completely different personality. INTJs are Masterminds (Rational) while INFJs are Counselors (Idealist). Both results say that I am Introverted, iNtuitive, and Judging. It's just a matter of whether I am more Thinking or Feeling. I'm a bit surprised that I was classified as someone introverted, though. Funny.
The online test I took is the Online version of the Jung-Myers-Briggs typology test.
Now, I looked at my zodiac sign. Here is how a Scorpio is described:
The same site says that a female Scorpio with a male Sagittarius is like "chalk and cheese", which means they are little alike. Apparently, the best mates for a female Scorpio are a male Capricorn ("very strong") and a male Libra ("emotionally rewarding"). Go figure...
I also looked at my Japanese Blood-type personality. Because my blood type is AB+, the theory of Japanese blood types states that I am solitary and serious...
...Riiiiiiiight.

Opening Unopened Letters
I have a bag filled with letters that were given to me by friends and relatives throughout the years. For five years, there was one letter in that bag that I couldn't bear to read. It was only tonight that I finally mustered up the courage to open it again and read it.
Letters like that one are meant to be read right after they are given. You can't easily reply to a letter like that after five years.
Unfortunately, there are some things in life that come our way when we are not ready for them. More often than not, we manage to get by with mild scrapes; but sometimes, by the time we learn how to cope it's too late.

Tipping Point
Do you remember how in the cartoons that we watched when we were young a precariously balanced character can be made to fall by the most insubstantial of things--like a feather or another character's breath? Or how a single drop of standard NaOH could make a clear phenolphthalein laced analyte magenta (sorry for the Chem analogy)?
I suppose it's true that, often, the most mundane of things can cause a turn of events that completely changes a situation. A careless comment can make a person lose hope completely and a thoughtless action can make a person realize how dispensable and replaceable he really is.
The very things we take for granted, much like the weight of a feather, can make all the difference and cause something to tip over to a point of no return.

Dreams and Longing
They say that when you dream about someone, that person is longing for you. Something about that person's soul calling out to yours. So, perhaps, the people I've been longing to talk to have dreamt about me. Perhaps the person I want to reconcile with can hear the yearning of my heart. Perhaps... Perhaps... Perhaps...
I wonder if they made that saying up to ease the pain of the person who longs for another so much that he ends up dreaming of that other person.
Somehow, that seems more logical to me.

Defeated
No one can say I didn't fight to the last moment. It's currently 5:30 am in the morning of the day of the thesis draft deadline and I haven't slept a wink all night. Ironically, I barely wrote a word because I spent the night debugging. I didn't even give myself time to freak out when I realized my results were incomplete. Ok, so maybe I didn't do everything in my power to finish my draft or fix my program, else I wouldn't have rested a couple of hours with a comic book or gone book shopping. I suppose I knew since the original draft deadline arrived--and I had little more than squat written, exams and reports due, and the (long bleep)NIP APIS to deal with--that I couldn't possibly finish this on time. There were far too many things to do and I had neither the drive nor the energy to finish all of them...
...and everyone was so sure for me. That's what bothered me the most these past few weeks. Part of me acknowledges that other people's expectation that I would be graduating this semester was the only reason I pushed myself up to this point.
I will continue to write my thesis throughout the day, and I will continue to review my program to see what's going wrong. But, I don't think people would blame me if I chose to shed a few tears before getting back to work.

Kiss
What is the value of a kiss?
Someone asked me this question. And, in my youthful inadequacy, I have no real answer save that which comes from my heart--these things which were not thought of.
A kiss is more than the sum of its parts. It's more than lips touching skin; more than passion; more than heat, and tongue, and teeth. For if a kiss were only that, then if I sought to kiss, I could kiss whoever was willing and I would be satisfied. Yet, I continue to seek kisses from only a few people while I am unstirred by the most passionate of the lot that I care little for.
I have kissed so many--family, friends, and lovers--so many times. The value of a kiss does not whither with use. My lips still seek contact and my skin longs for that tender brush of affection.
No, even now, I cannot take a kiss for granted.
In my mind, each kiss is worth as much as the one I share it with. It feels as much as I feel about my partner. It is taken for granted only when one takes the other for granted. It is loved only when there is love shared. It is an enjoyable passionate heat only when there is desire for the flesh.
No, that is not as accurate as it should be.
Rather, the value of each kiss is worth as much as that moment during that kiss shared with that person. Be that beloved or taken for granted, lingering or fleeting, passionate or in passing.

Despondence
Some of the most painful words I've ever heard in my life were,
And the most painful part is I knew that person was right; and I don't have the heart to either defend myself and take things back.
"You're selfish. You don't think of anyone else."Thing is, I always said that to myself. I never really heard it from anyone else, probably due to Filipino politesse that requires as little honesty as possible, and all that crap. Whenever I reminded myself of that, it hurt. But when the person who so often reassured me that I wasn't as awful as I thought threw those words at me--albeit, not in such blunt phrasing--it felt as if my heart was being torn out. And the human body, being such a wretched thing,hid the initial pain behind a mass of shock and a series of defense mechanisms. I didn't realize the damage so short a statement could cause until it was too late and I no longer knew how to bring things back to how they were. The full blow only struck me when I stopped to think about it.

Five or More
Move balls around the grid and try and form lines of same colored balls. Once you form five in a row, the line disappears. Unfortunately more balls keep dropping in.
I had just finished fixing the software problems of one of our lab computers when I decided to relax and play Five or More. One of my seniors saw me playing and told me she didn't like the game, because she never won. I smiled at her and said, "This is one of those game where you will eventually lose; it's just a matter of getting the highest possible score before you go."
All you can do is keep moving the balls around, and do your best to safeguard your plans from obstacles. It's a fact that you will get less breaks than problem balls, and in the end, you'll ultimately have to accept that the game will be over at some point, whether you like it or not.

Broken Sandals
Unrequited love is like having a broken sandal.
I went to the mall with my mom today. While we were going about our business, the strap of my left sandal broke off. My mom told me to keep going about things while she bought me a new pair. As I hobbled along the aisles of the mall, I considered walking around without my sandals, but the floor was too cold, and that would just be weird.
It was so strange to walk around as though I were impaired, when nothing was really wrong with me. And even though I could function better without my broken sandals, I kept on walking (with difficulty) with them on.
When my mom and I met up and I was finally able to change into new footwear, I hesitated to throw the broken sandals away. I held onto them for a while, and even felt a little bad for disposing them when I was the one who was careless enough to break them in the first place.
But, they were useless to me and I functioned much better without them. It was just a matter of telling myself to let go.

PdLR's Thought for the Day
If you keep looking at yourself, you're looking too closely and you're not seeing the bigger picture. Try looking at your reflection from other people's eyes...
...you might see a difference.

Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head
by BJ Thomas
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed,
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
So, I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done,
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'
But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me
Raindrop keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me
--
A happy song this time. I don't know why, but I'm happy. So there.

PdLR's Thought for the Day
Letting go is not when you stop crying, it's when you're no longer afraid to cry because you're sure that if you do, you can stop and move on with your life.
