Yeah,
I admit I was a bit pissed when I couldn't get any tickets to Maroon
5's concert last night, but apparently God had other plans for me. A
month ago, Cosmo magazine announced that their Cosmo Bachelors Party was
to be last night - the same night Maroon 5 was scheduled to perform
here! See! Never doubt Him! And anyway, I've seen Maroon 5 twice
already and well, the truth is, seeing 69 naked men shimmying onstage
was WHEW - so much fun really - and I've seen Adam Levine shirtless in
last year's concert here - so no reason to fret. Thank you Lord for
always being the wise one!
Lord,
can I have a boyfriend who looks like this for Christmas - and I mean
this Christmas!! I know the Muslims are giving you a lot of headaches
right now because of that idiotic filmmaker and the Chinese and Japanese
are mad against each other once again and I know there's always a lot
on your plate but what do I have to do to have a boyfriend like this
haha! Kidding aside, there was just so much eye candy roaming around
the audience last night - this guy is like up there among my favorites,
although I didn't quite see where he was in the show. Only about 10% of
the models mingled with the audience afterwards.
This
lucky girl was just about an arms length from me when JM de Guzman
chose her! I know his body is not as buffed as the rest along with
Markki Stroem but they look great to me! When Markki took off his towel
to reveal his briefs, I was pretty astounded by what I saw, maybe
because his crown jewels just zoomed straight to my line of vision. The
girls beside me also loved Mikael Daez. He does look much better in
person! I'm now his fan as well haha And don't let Alden Richards smile
at you, especially when he has no shirt on - you will not catch his
shirt!!
I read an interesting article about Helen Gurley Brown, Cosmopolitan's editor for more than 30 years. The writer who has worked with her, recounted her favorite Helenisms and I have recounted some of them here and how they have impacted on me -
#1 The past is no excuse - use it as a fuel
This is something I learned early on. To just build on what you have and work from there. The cards dealt to each one of us is different so we might as well play with what we have and gain the most advantage from it.
#2 Determine what it is you can do better than others, then pursue it until you succeed.
This one I only learned later on in life. Frankly, if I only knew about this when I was 16 years old, my life would've been a tad different. But no regrets, the routes we take to get where we are might take longer than what we really wanted but at least we reached the goals we set for ourselves.
#3 Work harder than everyone else.
I learned this from college and it's been the way to go ever since.
#4 Believe in and harness the power of the makeover.
Well, I am lazy when it comes to how I look but this should be a mantra I will apply in the next few days. Nothing bad about looking good!
#5 Enjoy, no - revel in your singlehood.
No problem here!!
#6 If you marry, marry the right person, but don't make him your golden ticket.
Well, Mama told us early on that you should always marry for love. Otherwise, your life will be miserable.
#7 Don't fake it, make it happen.
I love it when she said, do the tough stuff first, the challenging, unpleasant tasks. By doing so, you're apt to reach your goals. So true in my case!!
#8 Be nice. Be helpful, and treat everyone the same.
This works all the time, especially when you manage people. It's important during the time when you really really need a favor from them. The emotional deposit banked in earlier on certainly helps.
#9 A healthy sense of fear and insecurity are good for you.
I may not admit it but I guess this one also gets me through my day!
#10 You're only as old as you think you are.
Haha! This one I should remember always now that there are days when I feel grumpy, and yes, old!!
