Intellect and Passion

I was reading this book about a coven of witches one time and I stumbled upon this phrase "Intellect, pride, and passion. Was it any wonder that she stirred him?" and it made me realize that it simply defines what I want my future mate to have--INTELLECT and PASSION.

Intellect because I don't want to be with someone who doesn't understand me or the things I talk about or do. I don't want to constantly explain things to my partner. And because I'm fond of talking or texting in English, I certainly don't want to avoid using it because my partner wouldn't understand me if do. I want someone who is mentally stimulating. And that, I think, is the most important factor of all. I don't care if the guy is not a valedictorian, a straight A student, or doesn't have a Latin title attached to his name. I just want someone who will constantly be able to rouse my interest.

Now, who wouldn't want someone passionate (no pun intended)? Passion can be manifested in things such as sports, music, charity, art, etc. But the two closest to my heart is sports and music. I'll feel fine if a guy has passion for either of these two but if he has passion for both music and sports, then I'll consider myself very lucky! I'm very passionate about music. Not a day goes by that I don't listen, sing, or dance to a particular song so it will mean a lot if the guy is also interested in music. Not to mention, it'll also be another thing we can share with each other.

I grew up playing volleyball and watching my uncles and cousins play basketball, and learning other sports during my elementary years so it's not surprising that I want a guy who has a passion for sports. Although I prefer he likes manly sports like basketball or soccer. Haha!

I don't pretty much care for pride though since I have it in spades. And with him being very proud, a single argument may cause a huge falling-out between the two of us. Haha! But if who I'm destined to be with has tons of pride to go around, then I'm willing to sacrifice a little and strike a compromise with him. Love should prevail, shouldn't it?

In any case, intellect and passion is all I want in a guy. Is that too much to ask for? You tell me.

Can I have this as my room?

Woah!

Took a screen cap of what I had last Saturday night. I still have the tab containing Andrew Garfield's photo opened until now. I just put my computer on stand-by mode since then. Hahaha! Isn't he cute?

His eyes are to die for! Oh Jared!

Reunited After A Long Time

Here's what went down. Last Saturday I got to meet with my friends after a long time. It was months ago when we've last seen each other so I really made sure I charged my camera's battery. I was like more than an hour late which isn't really big news. Haha! Here are some of the pics we had.

 (L-R: me, Sheena, Wileen, and Vincent)

I took out my cam and Vincent was just "Let's talk a picture!" and we immediately posed. Haha! Michelle wasn't in this pic because she was talking to an old friend from her Uni days. By the way, Vincent took this pic so his position looks kinda awkward while we get to have a good angle. On a side note, I wonder if the lady on my far left side knows she was caught in the pic. Hahaha!

(me, Sheen, Michelle, Wileen)

One of the many reasons why I love these girls is because they're loyal to the core and we know we can trust each other.

One of the things we do when we get together is to play at the World of Fun, more commonly called WOF in our place. And last Saturday was not an exception. We shot hoops and played this sort of shooting game on a screen. I was okay with the basketball game since I grew playing the sport with my cousins but the shooting game was another matter. It's safe to say that I sucked on the second game. Hahaha! The game machine "spits out" these yellow coupons depending on how well you played the game. I guess my yellow coupon says it all. Yep! It's the one encased in the green box. Hahaha! I don't think I wanna play that game ever again--nor do I even want to practice it. Ugh!

I definitely had fun last Saturday and I bet they did too! We promised to arrange one on the books again soon so we can all just have fun together. We agreed to do it once every month but that remains to be seen since we all live busy lives. Haha! But I'm sure everyone's willing to compromise so that we can simply hang out together.
