If there's one thing that I've learned from over the years is the best advice to give is always from what you learned from experience... Although I have yet to part of a relationship for the longest time, believe it or not there are some 'lessons' I've learned albeit it was the hard way.
This phrase is a 'relationship kryptonite': "I'm sorry, I'm busy." After hearing it the first few times it's understanding. Hearing after five or six times translates (even if it's re-worded in several ways) as frustration, eventually it may lead to having look for someone that will make time.
Some sage advisers may tell you make yourself busy with something else other than the relationship. In other words, turn the tables around on the one who's too busy for you by giving them a dose of their own medicine. Part of me sounds skeptical about the outcome. This is a problem if you want to start the relationship...
In some situations the person might be somewhat reluctant to be in a relationship and therefore makes themselves 'busy' as a excuse. My advice is be charming and tell them something about yourself interesting that's worth waiting for. 2:1 odds of a good chance he/she may their schedule cleared to make time for you.
The other advice for this problem is the one who actually does have very little time. When you do have the time in your relationship make him/her feel special in every possible way. Don't forget to repeat this process until you can make more time in the relationship. When dating try to make it at least five minutes to one hour of your time. Longer you spend time for one day, better the relationship.
I hope this advice will help for whoever needs it...

30 Days To A Family Moment
Here's the scenario: My brother Sam lives in Toronto with his girlfriend Jill. Every six months he comes home to Winnipeg. Meanwhile my parents are preparing to leave for the Philippines on Christmas Day for a wedding. For the first time in my life I am going to be semi-alone for the Holidays.
The only thing I have to look forward to is Christmas Eve when I'll be enjoying a rare family moment. One of the few holidays that I treasure is Christmas because of the spirit of the season.

Withdrawl Day
Today I have successfully weened away from Internet porn for a whole day and it feels good. Believe it or not, I never thought it would be possible to get my mind off sex. Honestly I don't know why I've been constantly had sex on my mind for the longest time. Perhaps in this crazy world of mine is best to have a few mysteries left unsolved.
Only thing I've been doing lately is getting re-acquainted with Tetris. Among the many games I've played over the years, this has been one of my favorite addictions. Maybe there's something within the simplicity of a puzzle game that makes it so popular ever since it's debut. Looking toward the next dawn I'd like to think I've traded one addiction for another but in a good way :D
Next on the list: Facebook at least once a month... :P

Three Weeks To A Gorilla
It seems no matter what the hands of Fate once again sent where I needed to be. This week I've been meaning to pick up something at the library but there's just one snag. Downtown the city is doing some pipe work and therefore it will be closed until further notice. At first I thought it was being closed on Monday because of Remembrance Day following next day.
Yet the entire trip downtown wasn't a complete loss. I did find out about 75th anniversary of the movie "King Kong". Within three weeks from now Cinematheque will be remind me that it will always be beauty that kills the beast. As a film connoisseur I can't wait to be part of this one night event. This will be worth the admission, popcorn and good times.

That Odd Feeling
For a while now I've been having this precognitive feeling. I don't know how to explain it (sort of). Example: Leaving something plugged in for a long period of time, forget about it, then wander thinking if you did or didn't, figure out the outcome. Now think about how that feels when that happens to you.
You have a clear mind when you think about that one event. But what if it was an event that didn't happen just yet. Whenever I clear my mind I have this one event mentally gnawing at me and I can't stop thinking about it, even if I tried. One word:torture.
But I suppose I will endure this just like everything else in my life. Honestly I don't know how or why these strange things happen to me. Maybe God has a sense of humor or maybe this will serve a purpose. Whatever. I want to believe everything happens for a reason and yet I don't see it.
When it does happen and I do see it, the feeling is like a smack on the forehead. The only thing I know is that my life is going to be magical soon. All of my precog feelings aren't warnings but reminders something good will happen. This is something I've been waiting for and all I have to do is wait a little longer.

Why We Blog
After reading an 'article' in Nov 2008 issue of "Wired". The supposed reason to kill your blog is because of Twitter,the social network has begun amassing the online community and supposedly the more 'superior' way to have people hear your voice.
To those who choose to blog: Follow your passion as a writer. We write because as individuals we are a voice. One day we woke up and choose to express ourselves in this manner. Yes, Twitter if you must but don't kill your blog. My fellow blogger always remember why you choose to blog.
Why I blog isn't the same reason why you wanted to blog. For whatever reason-to rant, share, inspire, journal, mentor and so forth among a writing online community. Not all of us are professional writers. Yet as a blogger we always feel the need to constantly express ourselves fervently with a great passion within our own creative soul. Never stop writing because someone tells you to. Instead stop writing your blog when you know you need a conclusion. :D
