Golden rule: For every thought that i've written below, feel free to hit the BACK, HOME, or SIGN OUT button once you get bored. PEACE :)

if you (the one who's reading this) happen to know me, you may have known that i'm simple. yeah, simple. i have "simple" dreams too. but simple doesn't always mean attainable. by reading the list, judge which ones are simple and attainable, and which ones are as impossible as making humans live in jupiter.
things i dream of:
1. paris hilton checks out FHM's 100 sexiest women in the world for 2008. seeing that she ranked no. 2 surprised her. but this is her reaction upon seeing who ranked no. 1: "who the hell is Dindin?!?!?!" (dream on Miss Telen! haha!)
2. to be a millionaire.
3. to own a building. (exact number of floors and location still pending!)
4. to be a writer. **
5. to be a CPA. (is this new?!?!?) **
6. to have my mini library at home upgraded. (or have a huge library! aaacckk!)
7. to meet Dirk Nowitzki in person.
8. to be a good wife and mother someday. **
9. to know that JK Rowling, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy, and Stephen King are reading my blog. (vomit!)
10. To make the reader of this post laugh. (if you dont laugh i swear your anus will close!)
(Note: Those marked with ** are absolutely unchangeable.)
++++++++++
reasons why i love blogging:
1. you can write everything you want without any rules on grammar, margin, commas, periods, etc.
2. there is no honorable professor or teacher who will give you a grade of 60 or 70.
3. there is no required theme to write about.
4. you feel good when the reader comments on your post, whether it's positive or negative.
5. i know i'm kinda strict when it comes to grammar, but i love blogging because it's not like English class. parts of speech. sentence patterns. subject and verb agreement. tenses. spelling. chronology. plot. Oink Oink.

The Dangers of Wrong Spelling:
husband texted his wife while on a business trip

things i want in a boyfriend or future partner
(i've written this in 2005, and it's not yet expired. haha! writing this was fun. i dont know if you reading this will mean fun. if you find this sooo corny and cheesy, go back to the golden rule above.)
1. kind **
2. has a great sense of humor **
3. the biggest supporter of my dreams **
4. highly-tolerant, open-minded **

i don't find Scrabble as a fun game. Word Factory, quite okay. Crossword Puzzle, sometimes. Word Hunt, quite stable. forgive me for not liking scrabble. yes, i like to write, but scrabble doesn't like me. haha! i remember during my high school days i was always the one with the lowest score when playing it with my closest friends. i'm the type who would always scratch my head when i get my turn. i would feel proud once i get a score of 10 for every word. example of words i typically form: IN, ON, AT, TO, TOO, TWO...and drumroll please...i will add the most precious letter S if applicable.

i am so amazed by how the brain works. i don't believe that we only use the 10% of it. maybe some people misinterpreted Albert Einstein's joke back in the day. the result is a businessman wanted to sell products that would make the 90% work. nowadays, i see lots of TV ads telling me that if i take their brain vitamin, my test results will improve, and my memory will be enhanced. haha! while watching the ad i was half-expecting if i could do magic tricks once i take the pill..
scientists say that the brain is efficient. each part of the brain has its own purpose. from getting and interpreting information, making decisions, communicating, controlling the body, falling in love, to recognizing the person you've been wanting to kill all this time - all of these go through our brain.
signs that your brain is working: (warning: dont believe everything.)
1. you ask youself "Who am I?" knowing your name, age, address, race, sex, height, weight, and your favorite food isn't enough. it's about knowing who you really are as a person.
2. you decide to memorize the value of pi up to its 37th decimal place. (3.14159265358979323846266433832795028841)
3. you start thinking of what you can contribute to mankind besides world peace.
4. you're reading superdindin's blog.
5. you realize that what you're reading now is full of crap.
++++++++++
10 signs that you're definitely bored:
10. you start talking to yourself.
9. you realize no one is talking back so you turn the TV on.
8. there's nothing fun to watch so you turn the TV off.
7. since you're totally bored, you decide to make your own Top Ten list.
6. then you decide not to finish it.
++++++++++
i have two main reasons why i write:
1. for the reader to learn.
2. i want to entertain so the reader will have fun.
(tsktsk. i have to make sure i have done at least any of the two.)
++++++++++
the three biggest mistakes of humans:
1. not having faith in God.
2. not befriending me.
3. not reading my blog.
++++++++++
Upon writing this, i've realized that i have two dreams. one is to be a CPA. another is to be a writer. if you will ask me why, i have my answers ready for that.
i want to be a CPA not just because i want those three meaningful/blinking letters to be written beside my unique name someday. i want to be a CPA because i want to be an accountant, which is the same as guys wanting me to be their girlfriend. haha okay serious now. well, i see myself working in big companies, and earning a huge amount of salary. having a calculator as my sidekick. oops.
i want to be a writer not just because i want to be one. it's because i want to write. that's where it starts. i don't know if it's innate talent, but it all starts with getting a pen and paper, and jotting down all your thoughts and ideas, and your crush's name. oops. haha!
++++++++++
the end.

Contentment = Happiness = Thankfulness
i guess no one can really HAVE it all . . .
I have this friend of mine who shared something about what he hates in most people. It's about thinking that happiness is a destination. Thank you soo much, friend, because you just gave me an idea on what to write about today! haha!
I just came to thinking, that a person's ultimate dream, could mean nothing to another. That what a person wants, could mean a problem to another. I find it super interesting, so I decided to share to you some of my views regarding the ironies in life. Including the frustrations.
Have you wished that you were filthy rich?
If I would answer that question, I would definitely admit that I have those moments where I wish I was filthy rich. Who wouldn't want the resources to have anything and everything they want, right? The saying that "money can't buy happiness" is cliche. Well, for some they might say that it's true, and for some, they might say, hell nooo, money = everything.
I have some friends from school that have money. I don't come from a family with lots of money, else I wouldn't wish I was filthy rich. haha. But they befriended me. Well, I'm just part of the population who have a different opinion about rich kids. They are just human. I don't like to compare them to my other friends. I love them just the way they are. But sometimes, it does hurt to know, that some people who know them, think that they achieved this or that, just because they have the means, the money, and you know the rest.
Would it hurt to think that maybe, they achieved what they got not because of their money? What if they are just intelligent and gifted people? Don't they realize that once a person has talent/knowledge, he really has it?! Mr. or Ms. Rich finds it hard to prove to a lot of people that he can do things on his own, without the help of his money, because he can do it, and he really can.
Have you wished that you were famous?
Many Filipinos are fascinated by fame. Well, I guess not only Filipinos. Whether it be in your village, in your class, in your school, in your office, in your town, famous among the boys/girls or just famous in general.
I'm not just talking about popular movie celebrities here, but every prominent people that we know about. From politicians, TV reporters, reality show contestants, singers, journalists, writers, etc.
Let me share to you how I view the life of a famous person. He had to learn to enjoy the spotlight. He had to dress neatly just to look polished and presentable. He loved the fact that people admire him, because of his values, his opinion on certain issues, and his talent. Everyone wanted to have his photo taken wherever he goes. They wanted to score his look. They dream to be like him.
Just so that people will continue admiring him, he had to be this way forever. He had to smile, even though he didn't want to. He wanted to get mad, but he couldn't. He had to pretend that he is this person, this person whom everyone thinks is perfect. Then one day, he had a bad day. He got himself drunk. He was on the news. After a single mistake, people changed their opinion of him. That was when it hit him. So many people were trying to look him in the eye, giving a different meaning to everything he does, feeding false stories, and name calling. Suddenly, he felt that he didn't belong to that world. He wanted a simple life. He just wanted to blend in with the crowd. He became tired of always trying to stand out.
Have you wished that you were physically perfect?
These days, it seems like everyone cares about their looks. Well, it's just normal to care about your looks, because good grooming is important. But, it's just sad to think, that most of us only care about looks. We forget to do lots of important things to do with our time. I'm not just talking about girls in general. But even the boys.
A friend of mine once told me, that most boys are afraid to talk to gorgeous girls, because they do think that they can't measure up when it comes to looks. But, is it always about the looks?
I have read from this magazine about this model/actress who knows that she has brains. The sad thing was, most people thought that she's dumb, that all she has is that beautiful face. Little did she know, that those people who thought she was dumb were just jealous.
I really believe that everyone can be beautiful in their own way. Not just by having the loveliest eyes, the perfect nose, the Angelina Jolie lips, the sun-kissed skin, the curvy body, etc. Just think about those people who made a difference because they know that they can make this world a beautiful place. Do you think that you can make a difference in just a snap because people looked at your beautiful face? NO way. haha!
Insecurities are part of our lives. It's normal to be insecure - it'll never go away! A teen says, 'I don't have boobs' or 'I don't have a butt.' A young adult says, 'I'm getting fat.' When you've aged, it's 'I've many wrinkles.' Well, I think they motivate us to live a healthy lifestyle, dress well, and develop our talents. As long as we don't let our insecurities rule our lives, all will be well! Whether you're geeky or the gorgeous type, know that it's cool to be both!
Do you know what makes me feel really beautiful? It's when someone thanks me for something I've done, when I receive a good hug, when someone puts an effort to make me laugh when I'm sad, and when I discovered my passions. That said, a girl will always feel more beautiful when she's comfortable in what she's wearing, doing, and even saying.
Let's include all the other "I WISH.." in this world...
some say, "No pain, no gain."
others say, "Be careful what you wish for."
there's also the saying that, "Make the most out of what you have."
and of course how they say, "There will always be persons who are greater and lesser than who you are, so don't compare."
Well, by putting all of that together, it made me think, that maybe, even if you can't have it all, there will come a time that your contentment, appreciation and thankfulness will help make you feel that you indeed have it all, you're just too busy to see all of them.
