Why Does He Not Commit?

men will not commit



You've invested your feelings. You've wasted your time. You've expected too much. Then all of a sudden, he disappeared. Nothing hurts more than being left alone.. hanging. You might wonder what you did or didn't do that made him leave you. But what can you do? If in the first place, all you had was mutual understanding.

Many women have been in this kind of 'relationship'. Well, who are we to blame men when they just get out of that MU-ship?

It started with text messages to frequent dates, calls and visits but somehow at some sudden point, you won't even see it coming that your man has started to be cold and unassertive. Hello, you've started just fine and seems to be having that 'steady' relationship, but then he tells you he isn't ready for a relationship yet. Worse, if he tells you he doesn't see a future with you. 

Well I know men can't be that rude, but there are really some guys who are good at the craft of hurting a girl's feeling by simply being frank. So, what do you do? You can't avoid these type of men. Because in the very first place they aren't just one type of men. All men are like that. Men don't jump into a relationship they know aren't worthy of commitment.

It's actually true to all of us regardless of our gender. People only step into something if inspired or if there is a necessity. You can't avoid these men, but more than sure you can turn the tables in your favor. Wait for my next article, I'll share you some tips.

How do you do that? Let me invite you to continue reading to find out.

Imagine yourself entering a record store. As you walked through the aisle of music records, you found the latest album of your favorite artist. What do you do? You either tell yourself 1.) Oh, I'll buy this. I had been waiting for this to be released. or 2.) I'll save for this. 


See? That is also how men look at you and women in general. If you are worth the commitment, you won't even need to feel like your 'relationship' is struggling every day. Your man will take the effort and every risk to be with you, or to be exclusive with you.

Now think of this. When you went out of that record store, you passed by another store that sells that same album that you wanted to buy; however, it offers a price tenfold cheaper. Obviously, they're selling an illegitimate version of the album. Well what's wrong with that? With the crisis we are facing, buying pirated materials has been convenient for most.


So what's my point here? My point is don't be the pirated disc. Here, think of the pirated disc as a woman. Like a pirated disc, that woman gives a man all that he needed. Unlike an original disc, this woman doesn't have a high value to that man.

Why would you look for an original disc if you already have used the pirated which gives you equal satisfaction? Same goes with how some men's brain work. Why would they commit to you if you've already given everything that he wanted from you?

He is already getting what he wants, and he knows you are not going anywhere. It's not that he wanted to take advantage of you. It's just that you are readily accepting how things are between the two of you. You are settling for the least, and even until the future you will be settling for the least. 


The bottom line here is don't be a chaser. Don't commit yourself to a man who treats you as an option. 






The secret to a happy Relationship

The secret to a happy Relationship



Why do people engage in relationships? Why do some relationships don't last? Most importantly, and a harder question to answer, why do other relationships last?

I still remember how delightful I was when I received my first brand new cellphone way back in high school; back then when texting was very popular among kids my age. I was very happy because finally, I had a phone I was able to call my own which I used to communicate with my friends and family. Oh, you must know that borrowing your friends' phones just isn't convenient.

People engage in relationships to find the 'fit'; to find the 'one'; or simply to find a life partner. (I am talking of serious relationships here, okay?) Because after all, someone has rightly quoted 'no man is an island'. I tell you, no matter how many real friends and family you have, they won't be in your life 24/7 because eventually they will have their own families. So, you yourself should have your own life partner, own family.

Then the advent of technology came unexpectedly at a very fast pace. The next year I had a new phone. I had a smartphone more advanced than the basic phone I first had. I had to dispose my dear old phone and engage in using the new one simply because it no longer cope up with my demands. 


The same goes with relationships. It won't last if it doesn't match. If a relationship no longer makes you happy, leave it at the earliest chance. The same actually goes to everything. It is human nature to feel unsatisfied, so many relationships break apart and many hearts shatter.

As time goes by, I changed phones for a lot of times because the older just couldn't keep up with my needs or just not fit for me anymore. There were phones that lasted long, others didn't. At my age, I know my demands would be changing from time to time. However, I know that I'll find that perfect phone that will serve me comfort, convenience and more benefits. When I find that phone, would I change it?

People would come and go in your life. And in relationships, some people are just not meant to stay for a life time. Others would stay only to break your heart and teach you lessons. They don't stay long for a reason.

The past relationships that failed, along the way makes you know yourself better and gives you the idea on what kind of person you want to be with in the future. You are lucky if it didn't take you a lot of trials and errors before you find the 'fit'. The 'one'.


So if I find that perfect phone, would I change it? No. Such phone may be perfect for me, but better units would come along the way. Still, I won't change it.

When you find the 'one', don't let go of 'em. You call them the 'one' for a reason. You call it 'fit' because it matches. Someone would come into your life and challenge your choices, but always remember that above all, contentment is very essential for a healthy relationship.

Love and be contented with what you have for it is in contentment that you find happiness. Also, the perfect phone won't last as it is when bought. We all know that most things are just good when new. Same as your relationships, always make it a habit to diagnose and fix problems as early as possible.

Finally, everything including your cellphone and your loved one won't last forever. Take care of your loved one, so you would be able to enjoy your life longer together.




12 Things Your Girlfriend Wants You To Do, But Will Not Ask For




No matter how long have you been in a relationship with your girlfriend, and no matter how happy she may seem, there are still a few things that she wants you to do, but she won't tell you.

In the very first place, why do us, girlfriends don't dare tell you these things? Perhaps because we want you to find it out yourself. Yes, I am admitting in behalf of all the ladies out there that we are complicated.

So what are those things that your girlfriend want you to do, but won't ask for? Gentlemen, you better take note of this list:

1. Listen.
On top of everything, listen. We know that you guys hate long conversations, but we don't actually talk a lot all the time. Sometimes, you just have to listen. You don't really have to give her advices or solve the problems that she talk about or pass judgment, just listen. The least you can do is to constantly ask her 'then?' or 'next?' or 'what happened?', after all, you've got two ears and one mouth, you might want to use it in proportion. It's no big deal right? Right.

2. Send letters.
A love letter is worth a thousand sweet text messages. There is nothing sweeter than a man who gives love letters. Mind you, it is even sweeter than the bouquet you bought for her from that flower shop on your anniversary. Talk about the effort and the challenge of having to write the letter legibly and elegantly, as we know most guys aren't gifted with nice handwriting. There is really something great in being old school, you know.

3. Surprise her.
I particularly asked some of my girl friends when I tried writing this article and most of 'em mentioned surprises. Well, who doesn't like surprises from the most common like flowers or chocolates or teddy bear to the most unique? All of us, ladies love surprises. You might want to treat your girl to dinner that you've long planned and reserved. Yes, planned dinner is a wonderful idea. Not something you'd start with 'Where do you want?'. Wouldn't it be sweet if you'll just take her hand and lead her to where you've set that planned exclusive dinner? Romantic, right? Right.

4. Keep the intimacy.
www.counseling.ufl.edu defines intimacy as a process – not a thing. It takes place over time and is not stagnant. In fact, any kind of stagnation in a relationship kills intimacy. Intimacy by all means is nothing sexual. Your girlfriend or wife might not tell you, but you must know how much she wants those long hugs that last for 20 seconds straight. How do you keep this intimacy? Hold her hand while walking; hold her waist; compliment her; say 'I Love You' to her while looking deeply into her eyes; go for long walks with her; do something together. One more thing, don't miss that good morning and goodnight text messages. It makes her feel taken cared. There are a lot of things you can do to keep your love burning, be intimate, do more things with her. 
Bonus tip: Ladies really want the idea that you're the one who'll initiate to take a picture of both of you together.

5. Take her side.
Take your stand for her. When she is going through hard times, take her side. Comfort her and assure her she have you by her side. 


This here can actually be taken literally, when I say literally, when you are outside, and surrounded with many women, lust exclusively for her. Well you might hear her say it's alright for her if you check on other girls. Some girls act cool about it, but reality is -- they don't. Your girl knows she isn't perfect, but each time you comment on another lady's perfect attributes, her self esteem and confidence lowers.

6. Make your feelings apparent.
If you really love her, don't be shy in showing how you feel for her to other people. Some guys keep distant with his girl when he sees someone he knows is coming there way. That is one of the most offensive and heartbreaking act a guy can ever do his girl. You might want to kiss her or at least hold her in front of some girls you know. It will make her feel special and loved. It lets her know that you are proud to have her.

7. Show grand gestures.
When you love her. Love her. Show it. Remember those times when you were still courting her? You wanted to go out of your way to impress her or surprise her. She might still want you to continue doing it to her. Those random stuffs you did when you were still dating. Also, be familiar with what she likes. So when you buy her a mug, ask yourself, what mug fits her? Or you might want to put post it notes around her apartment and play treasure hunt. She would love simple, but thoughtful gifts. Customize if need be.

8. Be loyal.
You courted her. I'm pretty sure you made the move to have her. You must have thought how important it is to be loyal. You wouldn't date her if you didn't plan to devote yourself to her, aiyt? So please be loyal to her. Ladies are naturally loyal to their partners, you should know that. In loyalty, most guys break it first. Your girl will only find comfort from true friends she have. If that true friend happens to be a guy, wouldn't you be offended? So if you don't want her to be in the comfort of another man, be loyal to her and continue reading the next numbers.

9. Spend your time with her.

Your girlfriend or wife won't ask you for your time especially if you are a busy person. She doesn't want to hear the common phrase, "I'm doing this for us or for the future". Studies have claimed that one of the major reasons that relationships fail is due to lack of time spent together. When I asked my friends for this article, many said time is something they want from their partners, but won't dare ask for. Gentlemen, she knows that your studies or your work is important, but spending a little of your time with her won't hurt, really. Don't create more and more distance between you and the phrase "I'm not in love with you anymore".


10. Apologize.
When you think you upset her, you did. Go ahead and say you're sorry. Apologize to her and make up for it without her having to tell you. Remember that the best way to win an argument is to be the first to say "I'm sorry". Your relationship is more important than the argument you're having. When you do this, you're showing that her opinion is more important than yours. By apologizing, you make her feel accepted and loved.

11. Introduce her to your family and friends.
Your girl won't tell you this, but every girl looks forwand to bringing your relationship to the next level. Meeting your loved ones is part of this process, so introduce her to your friends and family. Invite her to a family gathering or a party with your friends.


12. Love her with all your heart.
If you've mastered the act of loving her, then you will have to skip numbers one to 11. The bottomline of this article is this-- love her. Simple.


This is a list that may guide you in understanding your partner. I might have not listed everything, but you can at least use this and add your bunch.

So ladies, what are the things that you want your man do to you, but you won't ask for? Comment below and let's have a little chit chat.







A new study shows how coffee can prolong your life

Photo credit:www.dailytimesgazette.com
Coffee addiction is no unusual news to us. A lot of people admit that they can't survive a day without having to enjoy a cup or two, or even more cups of coffee. Well, there had been many studies that proves coffee's being beneficial to human body. And yes! A recent study doesn't just profess to its health benefits, but even claims that regular coffee drinking reduces the risk of death caused by heart diseases and other ailments.



Researchers followed more than 200,000 doctors and nurses for up to 30 years. The participants had periodic physical examinations and completed questionnaires on diet and behavior, including their coffee habits. The study is in Circulation.

Compared with abstainers, nonsmokers who drank a cup of coffee a day had a 6 percent reduced risk of death, one to three cups an 8 percent reduced risk, three to five cups a 15 percent reduced risk, and more than five cups a 12 percent reduced risk. There was little difference whether they drank caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee. The association persisted after controlling for age, alcohol consumption, B.M.I. and other health and diet factors.
Coffee drinking was linked to a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, neurological diseases and suicide, although not from cancer.
The association was not apparent in smokers, probably because death from smoking-related causes overwhelms the positive effect of coffee drinking.
While the findings are encouraging, the lead author, Dr. Ming Ding, of the Harvard School of Public Health, cautioned, “Our study is observational, so it’s hard to know if the positive effect is causal or not.” 




-Nicholas Bakalar/The New York Times
For non coffee drinkers, you better learn to love coffee; however, coffee addicts might still want to have their coffee consumption at a normal rate. Let's not forget the generally accepted principle that too much of everything is dangerouus. 



Short Film Making: Ultimate Guide for Amateurs

Short Film Making
Add caption
In the 21st century, nothing is out of reach. Technology has given us so much ease in everything that we do and that includes film making. The movie industry has adopted to several changes as time goes by. 

Too many media for films has sprouted since the Information Technology Generation began. Because of that, we see too many nonsense short films in Youtube and too many non-film makers claiming to be directors or cameramen or whatever they call'emselves.

Well, that's no biggie, film making doesn't really require proper education. It doesn't matter if you have not studied in any film making academy. Creativity and passion will bring you to the hall of fame!

However, if you're reading this blog, I assume you are an amateur film maker. I am here to tell you what you need to know in making your first short film.

1. You should have a good story to tell.

This is very important. The greatness of your film starts with the greatness of your screenplay. You shouldn't be a mediocre in creating your screenplay. Think outside the box in coming up with your concept. You can talk with a group in building the concept of your film.

2. Be realistic.
Remember that you are making a short film, not a movie. A short film is only around 10 to 15 minutes in average. If this is your first time in film making, better yet be realistic. If you aren't realistic, it would be hard for the audience to understand your film.

3. Don't do drama.
If you're an amateur, I suggest you do away with drama. It is hard to convey your message in that genre because drama moves too slow. You can't have drama, and unfold events every minute. It would more likely become a suspense thriller.

4. Improvise.
Student film makers aren't geared with the suitable equipment in film making. That's alright. You can always improvise. You don't need top class equipment in making your short film, again, be creative ... and be resourceful.

5. Research for good angling.
If this is your first film, most probably you won't make a storyboard (but I suggest you make one). You should research, research and do more research in angling. It is important that you know what angle fits what. But I tell you, the best way to learn this is through watching top rated short films and movies. You can take note of how they angle the camera in specific scenes. 



PS. The very first thing that you should do is TAKE A STEP.

How? Watch this short film made by student film makers from one of the universities in Cebu City, Philippines. These students made a short film of humor. It tells us what happened to the main character in one day. The student film makers here just used a simple microphone taped to a broken long mop's handle as their boom mic, see how they improvised to have better audio! This film is made by amateur student film makers. Enjoy!

Why Once is Enough in A Relationship




"This is the last chance I'm giving."

That must be the most repeated lie every person blinded by so-called love has ever said. Been there, done that. I am just one of the thousands, probably millions of people who again and again lied to themselves about giving their lovers what they said were last chances. What. A. Big. MISTAKE.

True enough, I learned. The painful truth, I learned only after a long time. A very long time, I can even be tagged a martyr. The span of time doesn't matter, what's important is I learned. PERIOD.

Since I have gone out of the rehabilitation called moving on, and I'm now living a beautiful life, I feel obliged to tell you why once is enough.

Once is Enough in A Relationship



















You just blurted out the words 'I have had enough'. Don't allow yourself to think otherwise. You won't just say those words out of rage because your boyfriend fail to answer your call or your girlfriend forgot to tell you she has an appointment, would you?


You say it because you mean it. There's a bigger reason behind those words. You're tired, and you're giving up. It takes a lot of courage to say those words, so don't waste it by just taking it back because you think you're in love and you want to give your partner another chance.

Why shouldn't you give your partner another chance?
Simple.

1. One more chance opens more chances afterwards.

Hey babe! You've forgiven me before, this is even not that serious, why not now? Then you'd start thinking it would be unfair if you'd give up on your lover for a mere reason. You'll start comparing, this is not even one tenth of what he did before, I shall make this pass. Time will pass and you'll just have that mentality which leads to number 2.

2. You will be abused..

True. Your partner is intelligent enough to be caught doing the same thing that almost put your relationship to an end. However, that doesn't mean he/ she will never hurt you again. If you give him or her plenty of chances he/she doesn't deserve, the tendency is he/she will repeatedly hurt you. Your partner may not do it on purpose, but he/she will do it anyway. And it's all because you allowed it to happen in the very first place.

3. You will be heartbroken again and again.

If you allow yourself to be hurt again and again, you will be responsible for your prolonged agony. You should not fail to recognize the right time to stop your martyrdom when it occurs, it will just make you suffer from multiple heartbreaks while you're still in a relationship. That is saddening. 

4. It wastes your time to a wrong person, lessening time with the right one.

If you ended your connection from the start, you could have saved yourself from all those pain. You could have moved on, and by now you could have been happier.


From the beginning, the choice was all yours to make. If you are frequently hurt, learn to stop. A relationship that gives you too much pain is not worth fighting. 


You should fight for love, but above all, you should fight for yourself.
