the difference between girls & boys
well,i think this would be my first serious post,its different from my usual posts about my whereabouts,its a post which i have to say what i have in mind.
first,there's a clear difference between boys and girls physically but this isnt about such nor 'bout who's superior over the other.i'd like to talk about the way they act or the way they think.the difference between these two really sometimes becomes the source of misunderstanding.
just like the way girls always do their make-up as often as they could or how they use their phone every now and then.i for one am puzzled even at times annoyed by such actions.its just that i dont understand why they need do that often even if there's no need to put make-up on or to put face powder or "retouch" (sorry but im not just well acquianted with such words).for us boys,a single time of fixin' ourselves would be enough or if its just needed like when we got spilled on by something.
i also don't get it why girls would have a hard time expressing their thoughts.if they say "yes" or "no" its still not their concreate answer.they still have other things in mind.unlike us,we mean what we say,if we say "yes" its definitely a yes,a simple as that.why do they have to burden us with reading their thoughts?we aint no fortune tellers or mind readers.i only want that they mean what they say with no more "but's" or "if's".its really making us crazy or at times even pissed off.
i also hate the idea of when a girl is mad at someone you also need to be mad at that person even with no particular reason.the only reason the girl would give you is that you're her friend so you also need to do the same.if your still friendly or in good in terms with the person she's angry with, tendecy is that she'll also get mad with you.the only thing that you could think of when that happens(especially when your a boy);"what's up with that?"
i could go on and on and discuss a lot more of differences between these two.there's really no point in arguing 'bout their differences coz they are really different.boys will be boys and girls would be girls.there are really some stuff that girls understand and vice-versa.as how my professor would say; "its already a part of our culture.its really hard when you have a girl in your group especially if majority of you are boys.its either you'll end up "magkagustuhan" or "magkainisan"". as for my case,i ended up with the latter.before i couldn't really understand the difference between those two (boys & girls) that's why i usually get annoyed with the actions of some of my female friends.but after tonight,i now fully understand our differences,we can never change each other.its our nature.they'll always be girls and us we'll always be boys.
a lesson learned:though girls and boys would never change their nature the lesson i learned from this situation is that girls and boys should meet halfway.halfway meaning they should maintain an open line for communication with each other to avoid any kind of misunderstanding coz if they wouldn't do such it would make a simple thing complicated or could even ruin a relationship among friends.believe me,its true,it just happened to me but all's well now.thank god.
changes.
i never really liked eminem a lot.i only liked a couple of songs of his,may be one or two but that's all.if you're listening lately or the radio or watching mtv you may have noticed his latest single together with his crew D12.the song's title is how come and here's a couple of lines from it:
"How come we don't even talk no more
And you don't even call no more
We don't barely keep in touch at all
And I don't even feel the same love when we hug no more
And I heard it through the grape vine we even beefin now
After all the years we been down
Aint no way no how, this bullshit can be true
We family aint a damn thing changed, unless it's you"
it clearly talk about changes didn't it?sometimes we really cant avoid change,as how they say;"nothing is constant except change".its either you change for the better or for the worse.but sometimes that we really need to change or grow up.as for my situation,im already an adult turning 20 to be exact but im still childish in a couple of ways.i know its my fault but im startin' to change though and this change is sometimes the one that other people dont understand.
sometimes i think we really need to adopt to change.we cant avoid it.its a part of our life.i admit,i changed and so do you.we all have to grow up.but doesnt mean im completely different.im still the fun-loving,stupid-looking luiboi that you used to know.i may no longer hang out with you the way i used to before but that doesnt mean i no longer want to be friends with you.its just that may be i have a lot of things to do and the situation wouldnt just let it be or may be there are times that i really want to be by myself.we may have differences but that doesn't i nolonger consider you as my friends..
i know i may have hurt a couple of people for changing and for that my sincerest apologies.
mam jen,thanks for the enlightenment.
