In my next relationship, I promise not to...

By -
I've done a lot of stupid thing in my past relationships, haven't we all? But there are things I vow to never again do in my next relationship.

1) I will never be with a guy who is lazy with his work or profession. I don't care what that profession is, for as long as it is legal and moral (for me). I just need him to be a hard worker and smart worker.

2) I will never be with someone who has no passion.

3) I will never be with someone who will make me pay for dates. I know that as the relationship progresses, I will of course give my share and I'm not a leach. I earn my keeps and I've earned my own money since I was 15 but the guy should never rely on me. When we do get married and we hit a bump, then of course we will be partners but while we are going out, I will never pay for him. If he wants me enough, he needs to work hard to provide our future family a decent life.



4) I will never be with someone who will not treat me as his partner. I don't want someone who will drag me into everything he does but he needs to make me feel I am his partner in his life.

5) I will never be with someone who is not my intellectual equal. Conversations are important for me especially as the relationship progresses. Sex can only be hot for a while. After that, some stimulus must be added.

6) I will never be with someone who does not understand how much I love my family. My parents are the two people who will never leave me. They are the only ones who will take a bullet for me. I will never leave them. He needs to get that.

7) I will never be with someone who has no ambition or someone who is not doing something to achieve his ambition.

8) I will never be with someone who is not a gentleman... not just polite but a gentleman and not just to me but to everyone.

9) I will never be with someone who is not honest.

10) I will never be with someone who, at the very least, loves me as much as I love him. Relationship takes work and I wold need someone who is willing to put in as much work as I am willing to put up. It's the only way it will work.

I know that when I do get married, I will most likely compromise more and do things that my current me would cringe at knowing just to be able to accommodate that other person who were brought up in a different way.

But, the ones I mentioned above are things I promise I will never compromise. I'm putting it out there.

Do You Wish You Are Younger?

"Why weren't I born in the 90s?" I was with a friend for over 6 hours yesterday and we did talk about a whole lot of things but that was the thing I remember the most. She was talking about this hot guy who was in his mid-20s and she is in her mid 30s. She can't help but envy those college student who has a "chance" with the guy. Let me get something clear. This hot guy she was talking about is an international celebrity. Not that you can't dream big, look at Katie Holmes. There is also David Beckham who declared he was going to marry Posh Spice when he was still unknown. Then there's Carolyn Bessett who told her friend she will marry JFK Jr. someday.  As bad of an example as it may be, the truth is that there is still some sort of standards when it comes to dreaming big in this sense.

America's Best Dance Crew is back after 5 years of absence and it inspired to make a come back to my unfortunately abandoned blog. I am not a dancer. Although I can certainly move to the groove I am far from being graceful. It is, however, ABDC that inspired my appreciation of hiphop as a dance. Season 8 brings together the past champions from almost every season including Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, Elektrolytes, I Am Me, And We Are Heroes. Kinjaz is the 6th group composed of different choreographers in the industry including a Jabbawockeez, Ben Chung. From a marketing perspective, there is no better way to bring back a TV show but to pull in marketing aces they have in every season. After all, most, if not all, of these groups have developed a loyal following brought about by their success after their ABDC stint. There are a few, however, who are not as successful but that is a marketing tool in itself. This season is a restart both for ABDC and to many of the crews a

How I Earn $500 a Month Online Without Selling Anything

By -
I found a new way to make money online, Admailr, they put text-based ads on your newsletters and other publication. That’s how I pumped my monthly online earnings to $500 a month. Five hundred dollars a month is not much. There are others who do online marketing full time and earn more than $20,000. I’ll get there. I know I will but considering I started only this year, I’d say the $500 monthly is acceptable.  Unlike others, I am honest about the fact that it’s a lot of work. Since I quit my 8-5, one of the things I explored is making money online. I’ve tried different ways to make money. In fact, I continue to try different ways. Someday, I want to be able to drop all my clients and just rely on writing and other ways to make money. Now, I make just enough money for grocery and to afford eating out once or twice a week. Nope, not enough to pay other bills or send my sister to school, just enough for my food. Click here for New Writing Opportunities for 2013.
