Survey Time

Should Hillary Concede?

I’m really not the type of person who’s into politics. I don’t even read about them, much less talk about them. I don’t know, I’m just not interested, I guess. But people all around are talking about them, and they said that Hillary Clinton has conceded to Obama, because it’s almost certain that the latter will win over her. Do you think it was the right move? What about the people who voted for Hillary, what would they say?

PC vs. Mac

Which do you prefer, PC or Mac? Some people think Mac is better, some people think PC is better. Personally, I’ve never tried a Mac before… but I sure would like to have one. What about you, if you were given a choice and the right budget, which would you rather have?

Who’s Fit?

Fitness can definitely affect your relationship, not just healthwise. Admit it, you also want your partner to look good, don’t you? And I’m pretty sure your partner wants you to look good too. Well, if you really love each other, looks won’t be all that matters, but it doesn’t hurt to be fit. Don’t you agree? It not only prolongs your life, it also makes you feel good about yourself. What’s your stand on this?

Headlines

I’m not really a newspaper person. I rarely read the newspaper. Don’t get me wrong, I am interested with current events and I’d like to be updated with things that go on around the world, but I’m not really a fan of newspapers, I never have been. I prefer to surf the net or watch the news, instead of read the newspaper. Well, if I see something in the newspaper that catches my attention or perks up my interest, then I’ll probably read it. If not, I could live without ever seeing a newspaper. How about you?

Brand Loyalty

Are you brand conscious? Are you the type of person who favors a certain brand and refuses to use other brands besides the one that you prefer? As for me, there are certain brands that I prefer above others. But there are also times when I just don’t care. It depends actually, I’m more inclined to buy products that I feel most comfortable with. How about you, are you loyal to a certain brand?

Lying

We all lie. It’s a fact. Lying is part of being human. They say that there are ways of spotting liars. When we’re lying, we send some signals that show we are, in fact, lying. So if you know these clues, you can usually tell if a person is lying or not. I’m not an expert in spotting liars. There are times when I can sense that someone’s lying, but most of the time, I can’t. Thus, I answered 3.0 in this survey, meaning midway.

Don’t Just Settle

sad_eyes_by_mid0.jpgI have this wonderful, sweet reader who emailed and shared her problem with me. I was really touched with her story, her sincerity and her personality. I’d like to share an excerpt of the email I sent back to her in reply:

You’ve been through a lot, haven’t you? You feel you’re stuck in a life that you don’t want to be living. But I’m proud of you for having the strength to go on despite these problems! Sometimes life can throw us curve balls that are big enough to flatten us. But you know what, these problems are only as big and as powerful as we allow them to be. It’s the way we handle them and the decisions that we make that really matters.

Love is complicated, and it always will be. Marriage is complicated too. I wouldn’t really know anything about marriage, since I’m still single. But I do know that it’s not something any of us should enter lightly. There are those who just SETTLE, even though their hearts are really not in it. This is probably one of the biggest regrets we can ever make in our lives, the fact that we just SETTLED.

You weren’t really “in love” with the person, but you married him anyway. And then you meet this “exciting” guy, you feel attracted to him, and you fall in love with him. You saw and felt something with this guy that you haven’t felt in your marriage, thus, the magnetic pull and attraction that you can’t resist. You’re not alone in this, many women experience this type of situation too. And other people can’t judge you because that’s your life.

So you don’t love your husband, and you want to end the marriage, but you’re still having second thoughts? I think you need time to reflect. Know what it is that you really want, and ask yourself if you have the strength to achieve it. Don’t make hasty decisions based on what you’re feeling at the moment. Really look deep inside you, let the real YOU come out, and let her tell you what you should do.

I know you’re going through a rough time, and it’s never easy. Advice can be given, but ultimately, it’s your decision.
