have you ever thought about a woman who would like to be in a position of a filler to a man who has already a legal mistress? in short, a woman who would love to be an illegal mistress! there is such a thing.. and i just recently discovered that stupidity. let me first define the three characters mostly used in this post. legal miss - a mistress, legally acknowledge by the family, friends and relatives of the man to whom the woman has a relationship with illegal miss - a mistress, unknown to many, and has a secret relationship with a married man who has already a legal mistress. man - a complicated, still legally married man, now separated with his lawful wife. long ago, there was a girl who opted to get involve with a married man, who was actually living with his lawful wife during that time. their relationship became so serious, enough to have a child of their own. the fight within the wife and the mistress was so verbally hurtful to a certain extent, that some nasty things were done...

why men cheats? do i have to specify the answers one by one? men cheats not because they are born polygamous. men cheats because they are insecure . exactly. and i am very sure about that answer. come on, guys! explain why.. most men feel secure if they have a lot of girls around them.. when i mean girls, it refers to girlfriends. they wanted to feel secure because they want to "belong", in a circle where they can brag about their charm on girls to their friends. it adds the machismo effect on their pride. and the result? a lot of innocent women gets hurt because of the men's "playfulness". men does not consider the fact that someone might be loving them wholeheartedly and sincerely but they would not notice it. men enters on multiple relationships with women because they just want to have a "spare tire" when the other girl splits up with them. they need a fall back.. hmm.. wise, isnt it? men cheats on women because they are afraid of rejection . when...

i was very fortunate to came to see the movie, "RED CLIFF ", a John Woo film that is inspired from a Chinese epic. it is a historical drama based on a legendary battle held during the end of Han Dynasty in the 208 A.D. the story is about the power hungry Prime Minister turned General Cao cao, who has the permission from the Han dynasty Emperor to destroy the two warring kingdoms from the south, and to reign the entire land. General Cao cao was the most powerful armed force leader during his time, having hundreds of thousands of soldiers that will fight under his command. as Cao cao's forces become more aggressive, the two rival warlords, Liu Bei and Sun Quan decided to form an alliance to make their forces become stonger to fight with the giant General Cao cao. this happened through the great mind of Sun Quan's trusted advisor war hero Zhou Yu.

i have always been a believer that education is only the answer to poverty. unfortunately, many Filipinos, and other children around the world has been deprived from their right to be educated formally. the main reason? poverty. they have no other means to suffice the budget on education for their family. let me share you my story.. on my third year in highschool, our family had a financial crisis, causing my studies to suffer. so i had no choice but to stop going to school. i never opted to transfer in a public school because i dont want to experience any "culture shock". so i became an "out-of-school youth". at 14, i experienced to work in a grocery store as a saleslady, bagger and a merchandiser at the same time. it was really a tough job for a teen like me during that time. but still i was happy because i was helping my family. i was out of school for two long years, and just finished second year highschool then. it was really painful to me but i have to be resi...

in reality, people have been naming names to women who has an intimate relationship with a married man, to whom they are not legally binded by the law of mankind and the law of God. hooker, kabet ( for filipinos), home wrecker, bitch and other not so good to hear names. well in legal terms, the right word for that would be an adulterer, that of which should be proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt through evidence. and also, it must be presented on the judicial court, by the complainant. but for as long as it is not in the legal manner of presentation, the person cannot be called as an adulterer. in Godly manner, yes it can be. the person can be called an adulterer through the eyes of God, depending on the religion and belief of the concerned person. Like in Muslim culture, it is acceptable to have multiple wives as their partners, provided that they can maintain and sustain the needs of their family with the other wives. But in the Roman Catholic Church, it is forbidden and sinful to ...

many people today experience a lot of complications in their lives. most of those complications is all about love and relationships. some has multiple partners that takes them to the complexity of the word itself. for me, complicated is just a statement. it can only be complicated if you wont let it clearly understandable to many. being complicated does not mean that you are not simple. it only means that you have a lot to explain. but sometimes, we dont need to explain it or to elaborate it to a certain extent that we might confuse the audience. there are people that does not have the right to know everything about our life. if we choose to keep it private, then be it. if we choose to tell everything to the world, then shout it! they say truth hurts. and i agree to a portion of it. but when we say truth, does it have to mean pain? truth is very subjective. i got an opportunity to ask a man, not closely related to me, about why does the truth hurts? he associated it with love, with a s...
