Bisdak Babbles

It may be winter but this does not stop me from biking around if I have time. My bicycle is so much part of me now that walking for a short distance gives me leg muscle pains. My faithful bike serves as my transportation, my only “workout”, and my most helpful companion especially when I do my groceries.

Did I make the right choice? I sure did. But it would have been a lot nicer if I was able to at least customize its looks. I happened to drop by XYZ Bikes and there is at least a couple of bikes from their catalog that caught my eyes. Especially this yellow bike! Yes, you have the option to put in some decorations or attach other accessories you want.

Take a look at these very cool Classic beach cruisers. They look so comfortable, durable, and the colors are great, too! If you don’t have time to drop by their shop, you could order through ebay and have them delivered right at your doorsteps! They even offer international shipping!

I admit that it’s almost impossible to understand women. We don’t usually directly say what we want to say. We expect others, especially the one who’s dearest to us, to “feel” what we really need and want.
So, for guys out there, here are recommendations on what to do best when…

1) When she pushes or hit you, hug her tight.

2) When she starts cursing at you, say “i love you”.

3) When you break her heart, the pain never really goes away.

4) When she’s quiet, hold her hand and ask her what’s wrong.

5) When she ignores you, act cute so she’ll notice you.

6) When you see her at her worst, tell her you love her and she still looks amazing.

7) When she’s scared, assure her you’re not going to leave her.

When she lays her head on your shoulder, tilt your head too .. and hold her hand.

9) When she teases you, tease her back and make her laugh.

10) When she misses you, she’s hurting inside.

11) When she says that she likes you, she really does, more than you could understand.

12) When she tells you a secret, keep it safe and untold.

13) When she pulls away, pull her back.

Believe me, these little acts have the power to melt a woman’s heart away.

Rico started his online journal in 1999, when the word “blog” still didn’t ring a bell, when Blogger, Wordpress, and other blog sites were still non-existent. Back then, Tripod hosted his blog and his laptop was the most beautiful laptop I’ve ever seen (I’ve always had a crush on all Sony Vaio computers).

Like the rest of Rico’s readers, his written (but not offensive) observations on other people amuse me, unless I find unpleasant comments about me! Be warned, Rico… hehe. He always has new ideas to keep his readers hooked into his blog. I just hope you’ll post more often, Rico.

I’ve always enjoyed reading Rico’s posts. For years, I’ve been an avid reader of his blog. Rico also has amazing photos that I would like to give him one of the “Photography Idol Award” but this one suits him best:

I’ll be doing a lot of tagging later so I won’t tag anyone here. But if you like to grab this, please do. It would be a pleasure to know more about you guys.

Once again, I got the misfortune of watching another troubling Japanese movie.

The first one was a entitled 2LDK. 2LDK specifies an apartment with 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The story revolved around the two roommates who were both vying for a lead role in a movie. Jealousy and and extreme differences led both women to kill each other.

Now, I’ve just finished watching 僕は妹に恋をする, read as “Boku wa Imouto ni Koi wo Suru“, which means “I Love My Younger Sister”. The title says it all. The lead character Yori Yuki, portrayed by Jun Matsumoto, had always been in love with his twin sister Iku. Iku, on the other hand had also been in love with Yori. I was hoping that the movie would at least clear things up and include something that would take off my mind from the incest going on this movie. However, the movie ended with the two of them still into the forbidden relationship.

This troubled me a lot so I had to do some research regarding this story which was based on the manga (comic) of the same title. To my relief, I found out that Iku was actually adopted. But I’m still troubled by the movie so I must watch another one that would eventually make me forget about it…

I don’t know who started beauty pageants for children and I can’t comprehend why hold such event. For me, I prefer not to expose children to an “adult-like” world. Children should be left alone to play and explore the world at their own pace. Anyway, I was still so small when my mother first dragged me to join such event in the town fiesta…
Fortunately, we didn’t have to engage in talent showdown and question-and-answer portion. The “queen” was determined in an old-fashioned way: draw lots.

(cute old-fashioned gowns, eh?)

For my 5-time participation in such event, I wasn’t lucky enough to be queen. This is still practiced in my hometown, and yes, it’s still done in the old-fashioned way, especially for children.

Thank you very much for dropping by… have a nice weekend everyone!
