Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good. Ann Landers

“I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Style is being YOURSELF , but on PURPOSE . -Quentin Crisp

Juliet Draper (to her husband whom she found out was having an affair) : Now you won't know when and you won't know who, but I'm going to take one of them as my lover and I'm going to do things with him that would curl your toes. And then I'm going to end it and you and I can start over with a clean slate.  - Cashmere Mafia

There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil, least of all in people. In the best of us there are thoughts or deeds that are wicked, and in the worst of us, at least some virtue. An adversary is not one who does loathsome acts for their own sake. He always has a reason that to him is justification. My cat eats mice. Does that make him bad? I don't think so, and the cat doesn't think so, but I would bet the mice have a different opinion. Every murderer thinks the victim needed killing. -Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, The Sword of Truth

Hi guys. PinoyG4M and Akei are planning an outreach program for the Home of the Golden Gays in Pasay on the 26[sup]th[/sup] of November in time for the Pride celebration.  One of our challenges so far is to come up with P15K for the event. Currently we have a third of the target in pledges.  Details of our plans are in http://forum.pinoyg4m.com/causes-and-campaigns/outreach-program-to-the-home-for-the-golden-gays/msg232207/#msg232207 I was hoping that YOU can help us in this endeavor. Any amount or donation will highly impact the success of our project. You can contact me at lanchie@gmail.com and 09173659620.

In an episode of Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Smith said, "The universe has to move forward. Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship... Everything has its time. And everything ends." First written here .

As of 3:00Pm Manila, our matriarch has passed on. This did not come as a surprise since my grandmother has been suffering from dementia for quite some time now. She was already catatonic last Sunday
