Patience is the key to happiness

“Patience is the key to happiness“, this is what my boyfriend always jokingly tell me everytime I ask him to move here in NM. I guess Patience is what I really need. Where can I buy this? It’s been a year since I moved here and it feels like a decade that I’ve been longing to be with him every minute of every day. I need Patience very badly.
I guess it was harshed of me to give him sort of an ultimatum. If he’s not gonna be here within this year, I’ll be out of his life. I don’t know if I did really mean what I said. I understand that it’s not that easy for him to change his life for me. He already have a nice-paying job in Florida, friends he’s gonna miss, etc. Still, he gladly accepted my warning. In fairness of him, I can feel that he really loves me and he’s trying hard to make me happy. Was I being selfish? My point being is how can you nurture a relationship when you are physically away. Yes, we see each other every other month or three months for a few days, however, 3 days cannot patch the 30-60-90 days that we should’ve shared. We only live once and there is no time to waste TIME. You cannot replace the lost times. Relationship is about spending time and building memories together. I know there are other couples out there whose situations are worst than ours but hey, who said you can’t complain. It’s not that I am pressuring him (well, I guess I am) but it is more of pushing him for him to move– to do something about it. And please don’t say I didn’t do anything–my still being here in the US is mainly because of him. We already laid out our future together and sometimes I don’t believe in it anymore. Can anyone tell me where can I get Faith too?
Did I say something in my first post that I don’t know how to express my feelings?? Hmmm.. Now, this is what I called expressing. (*wink)
Wait for Mr. Right

Let’s talk about love. This is for my friends who are still searching…Lol
It’s hard to keep waiting for Mr. Right but it’s worth it in the end. When chemistry is absent, it is okay to break-up or say no. You can’t force yourself to like someone because you have no other options. You deserve to be with someone who you truly love and loves you in return. Someone who makes bell rings, bird chirps in your head, makes your heart pound, and makes you palm sweaty. If Mr. Right still not there, say ” thank you very much, nice to meet you but I am waiting for the famous Mr. Right.” As what my boyfriend always says, patience is the key to happiness. (Again, this is another story)
Thou shall marry the one who looks like you.

While having dinner, a friend of mine who’s been in this world for quite a while, said that psychologically healthy human beings tend to choose their mates who look similar like them. The reason is that people love their own selves better than anyone else. Narcissism? Hmmm.. That being said, now I know why Wentworth Miller likes me! LOL. Seriously, sometimes I find this rather true. I am attractive to opposite sexes whom I share the same physical characteristics– tall, dark, black hair, brown eyes and handsome — LOL. Kidding aside, this is not true to anyone, perhaps for some but not to all. This is what we call the fallacy of argumentum ad hominem, purely personal considerations. ( I hope I’m right or else my philisophy teacher would kill me.hehe)
The Ball was in my Court!

Since I transferred to my own apartment, I’ve been contemplating on buying a TV. Everytime I go to electronic stores, I couldn’t drag myself on getting one. I am not a TV fanatic. My brother-in-law used to say that TV’s are idiots’ tubes. This is not the reason though why I had second thoughts. I totally disagree with him but that’s another story. Anyways, the first reason of my dilemma was that I don’t have a place for it in my casita. Secondly, I am not really into watching tv shows other than Prison Break. Lastly, I don’t want to spend $500 for a tv and add another $100 for the monthly cable fee. Feel free to call me kuripot. Hehe. All I want was an internet connection. Well, I had wireless connection from my landlord’s broadband however, it wasn’t a stable connection.
Now, it was all up to me to make the move–to buy or not to buy. The ball was in my court.–well, that was what I thought.
Last week, my very nice landlord and landlady, who happen to be a very good friend of my sister, got me a flat screen HDTV! Yepey! I just squeezed it in my little room. It turned out that I really have a place for it and I was just trying to stop myself from buying one. And yesterday, they got it hooked up with cable. To top it off, they also installed broadband internet in my apartment. Wheew! It’s like a post-christmas present. Cool! Take note, my rental fee is still the same. Was it me or was it just my luck!
My First Post Ever– Why Land of Entrapment??

You might be wondering why I entitled my blog Land of Entrapment. New Mexico is called the Land of Enchanment and people jokingly call this utterly strange place as Land of Entrapment. Once you start living here, you are trapped. You’ll be trapped with its beauty that you don’t want to live in another place. Some people find this true but not for me. I find this idea rather rediculous. Maybe because, I want to go back to my homeland..Pinas! Don’t get me wrong, Santa Fe is really a wonderful place to live when you want to be left alone. (hehe) There are only 2 million people living here compared to 80 million people in the Philippines. It’s your choice if you want to be trapped. The ball is in your court!
