How to Keep Your Girlfriend Happy (A Repost)

Maintain. If you did a bunch of cute things with her before, try & keep it up. You don’t have to go all out everyday for her, but don’t stop completely just because you got her already.

“Ladies first.” No. That rule doesn’t apply to communication. Don’t wait for her call, text, IM, why don’t you try talking to her first for a change ? It’s thoughtful & sweet if a guy can actually do that.

Surprise her. You don’t have to drive an hour to her house at 3 a.m. to set off her name in fireworks in front of her window, but the little things are big things. A simple, good morning text, is more powerful than you think.

What insecurities ? For the love of God, all girls have insecurities. Please don’t point them out. For example, today I was looking at food & my boyfriend said “You eat a lot. You probably could beat me at a buffet.” WHAT. THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY. Also, let her be herself. If she’s having a bad hair day, don’t make fun of her if it’s hurtful. Let her wear sweatpants & still feel pretty damn cute around you, even when she’s not looking her best.

Act the same around your friends. You’re not a real man if you completely blow off your girl in front of your homeboys. When you’re going to hang out with her & your friends you better not run off & leave her standing there to greet them like WUDDUPPP GUYSSS.. NO, you better at least walk with her & introduce her to them if you haven’t already. If you walk with her hand in hand, she’ll love it.

When she’s mad. Dude, you better try & get her back. Chase her, whatever it is, don’t let her walk away when she’s mad at you. It shows you don’t care enough to go after her. Don’t let her go.

One & Only. If your girl really doesn’t like one of your friends, trust, she has good reason to. Girls’ intuition -shrug- So don’t go hanging with your homegirl all the time if you know your girlfriend doesn’t like that bitch. She usually won’t hate for no reason. Respect her.

Trust. Honesty. If you lie to her, you’re going to have one hell of a time regaining that trust because she’ll start questioning everything you’ve said or done for her, no matter how small that lie was. Fess up or get lost.

Love her. That’s all

i was in the holding area while waiting for my next case as a scrub nurse, when a STAT case was suddenly endorsed to me by an ER nurse.

patient on a strecher and i, helping out the ER nurse and the clinical aide in pulling the stretcher in, stared at each other for few seconds…

*patient: kilala kita e…kilala kita!
*me: ms.D!
*patient: jocell!
*me: (tomooo!) haha..yes, cantos po!
*patient: oo nga..tama! sabi na kilala kita e!

glad she still recognized me even with my cap and mask on!

*ER nurse: magkakilala kayo ni mam?
*me: yea! adviser ko sya nung high school!
*ER nurse: ahh talaga? wow! ang saya naman! oo nga sabi nga ni mam principal sya!

oops! i didn’t know! i was surprised too!
wayback SY 1999-2000 teacher aida was our class adviser then… 1st year St. Vincent de Paul.
i just can’t imagine how fast time flies. i miss the surprise quizzes…
“maglabas ng 1/2 crosswise… itupi sa gitna, bilangan ng 1-10 sa unang hati, 10-20 sa kabila. sa likod ng papel muna tayo… gumuhit ng tatsulok at palibutan ng bilog, etc…”
i also miss the daily “sermons”… “Vincent… Vincent… Vincent!!!”

well, all these things paid off. DISCIPLINE..the thing she taught us that we’ll surely never unlearn. MARTIAL LAW, ika nga!haha!

2 of her vincentians are at AHMC actually. one is me at the OR, the other is karen at MS-ICU.

sayang she didn’t get to meet karen before the surgery,i just didn’t know if they met afterwards. pero ok na rin, thankful na rin at least di sya sa ICU naadmit! hahaha!

it was such a pleasure serving back a person whom i once considered as my second mom. get well soon, teacher aida (Ms. D)!
