Exodus 20:14: "Thou shall not commit adultery."

“Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don’t have.”

“Bro, this girl in my office is a real looker,” many husbands will say. “But it’s not her Jennifer Lopez or Heart Evangelista features that got me. I’m head over heels with her because she’s also understanding, intelligent, tender– so many things that my wife has not.”

Guys, trust me on this. Somewhere along the way, you’ll find a woman who will be more charming. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Be a better cook. Has greater sex appeal. Be a more efficient housekeeper.  And you will find a woman who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your wife ever did. Why?

Because NO wife/girlfriend is perfect.

I lost my wallet

"My old Hum II professor used to tell us that wallets are a lot like girls, "Dapat mong ingatan, kasi kung hindi mo iningatan, baka may mangyari."
<br>
I know what he means. I just lost a wallet, and I just lost a girl. You know, it's the exact same thing.
<br>
One day, you just realize it's gone. You try to look for it everywhere, even going back to the places where you could have lost it.
<br>
You think, and you think hard, only to come upon a grim realization: it's really gone.
<br>
Of course, you can hold on to some hope. After all, there have been some very, very lucky (blessed?) people who get it back. Perhaps you could become one of those people.
<br>
You sit home and you hope that someone would call, and that you would get it back. But then, some time passes, and you realize that it's still gone, and you realize that it's time to let go.

What will matter

What Will Matter

Ready or not,
someday it will all come to an end.

There will be no more sunrises,
no minutes, hours or days.

All the things you collected,
whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else.

Your wealth,
fame and temporal power
will shrivel to irrelevance.

It will not matter what you owned
or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations,
and jealousies will finally disappear.
