Girls need to realize ♥

P.S. I usually just reads these kind of posts, but this time it’s too good to not be shared :)

We guys don’t care if you talk to other guys. We don’t care if you’re friends with other guys. But when you’re sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off. It doesn’t help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we’re still there.

We don’t care if a guy calls or texts you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned. Nothing is that important at 2am that it can’t wait till the morning.

Also, when we tell you you’re pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute/stunning, we freakin’ mean it. Don’t tell us we’re wrong. We’ll stop trying to convince you.

The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence. Yeah, you can quote me.

Don’t be mad when we hold the door open. Take advantage of the mood I’m in.

Let us pay for you ! Don’t feel bad. We enjoy doing it. It’s expected. Smile and say thank you.

Kiss us when no one’s watching. If you kiss us when you know somebody’s looking, we’ll be more impressed.

You don’t have to get dressed up for us. If we’re going out with you in the first place, you don’t have to feel the need to wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of make-up you own. We like you for who you are and not what you are. Honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she’s just in her pj’s. Or my t-shirt and boxers, not all dolled up.

Don’t take everything we say seriously. Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it. Don’t get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your bible. Don’t talk about how hot Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us. It’s boring, and we don’t care. You have girlfriends for that.

Whatever happened to the word “handsome”/’beautiful”I’d be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me with “Hey handsome!” instead of “Hey baby/stud/cutie/sexy” or whatever else you can think of. On the other hand I’m not saying I wouldn’t like it either.

Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren’t being treated right by a guy, don’t wait for him to change! Ditch his sorry butt, disgrace to the male population, and find someone who will treat you with utter respect. Someone who will honor your morals. Someone who will make you smile when you’re at your lowest. Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes. Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel. Someone who will stop what they’re doing just to look you in the eyes and say I love you and actually mean it. Give the nice guys a chance. Guys repost this if you agree. Girls repost this if you think it’s cute. Every guy who isn’t a jerk will agree with this, so we hope that all the girls that read this will repost this.

ADVICE:

*Holding Hands* -Girls: If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of times.

*Movies* -Girls: During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder. -Guys: Lift her chin up and kiss her.

*Loving each other* -Guys: When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her too and mean it.

*Laying below the stars* -Girls: When you’re both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heartbeat. -Guys: Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.

By 12am tonight, your one true love will realize how much they want you if you forward this on. Guys forward this if you agree, girls forward this if you think it’s cute.

Girls, repost this as: Written by a guy ♥

Boys, repost this as: Girls need to realize ♥

The Meaning of Presence

Just a few days ago, Monday 5th December 2011, I learned another valuable life lesson: the meaning of someone’s presence.

Ceritanya ada seorang temen yang mengalami kehilangan yang cukup tragis. Ibunya meninggal. Sebenernya gw nggak kenal sih, cuma tau aja, yang kenal tuh pacar gw yang ngangenin banget ituuu yang sekarang berada sekitar seratus kilo dari sini.

Temen gw ini rumahnya di bandung, kuliah di STAN juga kayak pacar gw. Jadi bisa dibayangin lah ya, gw se-kenal apa sama orangnya. Ketemu pertama aja baru kemaren itu. Lucky thing I know her boyfriend, otherwise I would be totally lost. And I don’t like being in an unknown place surrounded by unknown people.

Singkat cerita, dengan panduan temen-temennya Ika (cewek yang ibunya meninggal ini) dan Tia (pacar gw), gw nyampe di rumah duka yang berlokasi di daerah Pasteur. Nggak jauh-jauh amat lah ya dari kampus. Sayangnya gw nyampe beberapa saat sebelum misa arwah berakhir.. pengen ikut dari awal sih benernya.

Setelah misa arwah berakhir, keluarlah si Ika dari rumahnya dan langsung disambut sama temen-temennya. Gw sih berdiri aja agak jauh dari situ. Ya masa mau langsung nyelonong. Sungkan cuy.

Setelah temen-temennya selesai, niatnya sih gw memperkenalkan diri, ternyata eh ternyata, Ika nya udah tau siapa gw. Malu deh jadinya. Mamam tuh malu.

The impression that I got that day was that she’s really grateful that me, a near total stranger, had the time to go to her house and say my condolences. That was a totally new personal experience for me.

So, for everyone out there who reads this, always keep in mind the power of presence. Mungkin kita menganggapnya sesuatu yang biasa, tapi percayalah, it means a lot, especially in sad and mourning times. I’ve been there, both as guest and host.
