stop the voices...

Why is it a man should deny his woman of her lover if he and the lover are the same man?

It pains me. My heart bleed for itself.

The age of voyeurism

I read in a magazine that blogs are helping out authorities in getting on-line confessions from unruly youth. It's kinda wierd having to confess your crimes on the internet but apparently these kids perceive their blogsites to be "safe" and "private".

Only a few people i think share their entire life on the net,maybe none at all. I certainly don't. At times i must admit it feels like i'm the only one who gets to read it again and again... and then of course your friends who goes online a lot. I remember wanting to rant about something in my blog and then hesitated. It was the middle of the night, and i couldnt sleep. I decided to turn on my computer, connect to the internet and logged on to my blog.But while i was trying to log on, i realized i really didnt want that part of my life publicly documented.

The age of Voyeurism is upon us. The many reality shows, Big Brother, blogs, livejournals, etc. and all of us seem to want to be in on it.

Has the world become so lonely that we constantly seek attention?

ReVIEW- The Break-up

Men would think that women are hard to understand. On the other hand, women think that men just simply don’t understand. But at the end of the day, it’s not always about the lemons.

The Break-up. It’s a movie between a girl and a guy in the great city of Chicago. The guy, played by Vince Vaughn breaks up with his girlfriend played by Jennifer Aniston. Like all other movies, it revolved around answering the Why’s.

Movie starts off with how they met and snapshots of how their life became after getting together. Then you’re taken to the present time and the two are shown in their gorgeous condo doing nothing else but fighting.

It’s typical of relationships, as it gets older to encounter more fights. I guess it always comes to that point wherein you can’t even stand each other. As one gets to know the other more, the more one can see the annoying flaws.

I felt the movie gave a clearer view of women. Something that men can understand especially since the Man is being played by the “man’s man” himself, Vince Vaughn. The modern woman shares the same burdens as the modern man. Gone are the days where women were confined to the house doing housework. Now, they multitask—the always- rushed- modern- woman with the mixture of a detailed- know-how- conventional -housewoman (I say housewoman rather than housewife).

The modern woman is fierce, intelligent and gorgeous. They work hard as much as men or maybe even more. It’s a known fact that locally there are more female executives than there are men. But at the end of the day, they still find time to clean the house, cook dinner and take care of the kids (if applicable) and look beautiful for their man.

The man works hard. Feels the same stress as the woman does but when he gets home he requires rest immediately. He plays with the kids (either in human form or in the form of new marvel legends). He’s tired to do anything else.

Don’t get me wrong. Women aren’t complaining. Women don’t mind slaving away for their men. They really don’t. It’s all about being appreciated without even asking for appreciation. It’s having the initiative to care about what’s happening with the woman because when you think about it, all the woman does is take care of her man not because she’s required to but it’s that innate maternal instinct women have.

Kudos for Brooke (Jennifer), for simplifying it for men—“it’s not about the lemons”. And kudos to The Break-up for teaching men through a medium they’re accustomed to--- a movie.

The past is starting to take its toll on me... and it's not even mine.
