what's a meantime girl?

... i was checking my mail, (trying to erase old emails.. hehehehe!!) and i saw this email from yengabols... i decided to post it here sa blog... y? ewan ko!! cguro kc lahat tyo ay naging meantime girl once... read on!!

She's the one you call when you're bored because she makes you laugh. She's the one you talk to when you're feeling down because she's willing to lend an ear and be a friend. She's not the one you call when you need a date to your company's Christmas party, or to go dancing with on a Saturday night. She's the one you spend time with between girlfriends, before you find "The One". You know, the one who you keep around in the meantime.

She's not one of the guys, not a tomboy, but you don't look at her as a "real" woman, either. She's not bitchy enough, moody enough, or sexy enough to be seen in that light. She's too laid-back, too easily amused by the same things your male buddies are amused by. She's too understanding, too comfortable? She doesn't make you feel nervous or excited the way a "real" woman does. But she's cool, and nice, and funny, and attractive enough that when you're lonely or horny and need intimate female companionship, she'll do just fine. You don't have to wine and dine her because she knows the real you already, and you don't have any facades to keep up, no pretenses to preserve. You're not trying to get anything of substance out of her.

She's not easy, but you know that she cares about you and is attracted to you, and that she'll give you the intimacy you need. And you know you don't have to explain yourself or the situation, that she'll be able to cope with the fact that this isn't the beginning of a relationship or that there's any possibility that you have any real romantic feelings for her. It won't bother her that you'll get up in the morning, put on your pants, say goodbye and go on a date with the woman you've been mooning over for weeks who finally agreed to go out with you. She'll settle for a goodbye hug and a promise to call her and tell her how the date went.

She's just so cool . . . why can't all women be like that?! But deep down, if you really think about it (which you probably don't because to you, the situation between the two of you isn't important enough to merit any real thought), you know that it's really not fair. You know that although she would never say it, it hurts her to know that despite all her good points and all the fun you two have, you don't think she's good enough to spend any real time with. Sure, it's mostly her fault, because she doesn't have to give in to your needs? She could play the hard-to-get bitch like the rest of them do, if she really wanted to. But you and she both know that she probably couldn't pull it off. Maybe she's too short, or a little overweight or has a big birthmark on her forehead, or works at Taco Bell.

Whatever the reason, somehow life has given her a lot of really great qualities but has left out the ones that men want (or think they want) in a woman. So she remains forever the funny friend, the steadfast companion, the secret lover, and you go on searching for your goddess who will somehow be everything you ever wanted in a woman. You'll joke to her that she should be the best man at your wedding, and she'll laugh and make a joke about a smelly rental tux. She doesn't captivate you with her beauty, or open doors with her smile. Mainly she blends in with the crowd. She's safe. She doesn't want to be the center of attention and turn the heads of everyone in the room. But she wants to turn someone's head. She wants to be special to someone, too. We all do. She has feelings. She has a heart. In fact, she probably has a bigger and better heart than any woman you've ever known because she's had A front-row seat to The Mess That Is Your Life, and she likes you anyway.

She obviously sees something worthwhile and redeeming in you because although you've given her nothing, absolutely no reason to still be around, she is. Anyway, yeah. I'm a Meantime Girl. Been one more times than I care to admit. I don't know the reason, really, and at this point I don't even care. I just want to let every guy know who's ever had the good fortune to have a Meantime Girl that we may be a lot of fun, but we cry, too. A lot. And someday we won't be around.

what if you had a universal remote... that controlled your universe?

... i just love the movie Click by adam sandler... comedy film na mapapaiyak ka... workaholic architect c adam sandler d2... inuuna nya lagi work nya kc gus2 nya mabgyan maganda buhay family nya... pro d nya alam kng gano na nya napapabayaan ang family nya... ang cool kng may remote control kang tulad ng sa click pro syempre may catch yun db? dun nagsimula yng mga nakakalungkot na pangyayari...

...yng mga pangyayari sa present life ni michael newman (adam sandler) na gus2 nyang i-skip, namemorize ng remote... so ang nangyari sa tuwing mae-encounter nya yng ganung scence kusang nagffast forward ang remote... galing noh!!! dun unti-unti nyang na-realize kng ano ang mga namiss nya sa buhay nya...

...may line dun yng wife nya at sya na gustong gusto ko... "will you still love me in the morning?"... "forever and ever, babe"... hehehe... first scene na iniyakan ko is yng nalaman nyang nmtay na pla father nya tpos gus2 nyang bumalik sa time na nangyari yn kaso d nya mgawa kc wla sya nung namatay father nya... bumalik na lng sya sa time na huli nyang nkta ang father nya... nakakaiyak yun!! isang song na very memorable sa movie na to is "linger" by the cranberries... yn ang song nung first kiss ni michael at donna newman at yn dn ang song nung knasal ang panganay nila...

...Click is a very nice movie... very touching yng story... may halong comedy... d nga lng pde sa sobrang bata kc may mga offensive na scence dun... may lesson yng movie... may mga scnece na patol tlaga... at c david hasselhoff, ngyn ko lng ata sya nkta sa gnung role... prang ang tingin ko kc sa kanya sobrang serious na tao e... makulit tlaga!!! ewan ko pro natuwa tlga ako sa film na to... you have to watch it! promise!
