It's not what you think,
It's what I say.

The secrets of Joseph Albert's life... or something like it. =)
NOW! The time has arrived! (Too bad it was late na because I already erased my old account, huhu) But, it's better late forever, ika nga ni Karlo, and Multiply have already added what I consider the one of the best features of the site to date, and it is the......... MULTIPLY MEDIA LOCKER.
If you want to go and check your MEDIA LOCKER, you just type in your site and add "/manage". For example, http://imnotyourordinaryguy.multiply.com/manage. OR, in your Multiply INBOX, check the POST NEW CONTENT Box and at the lower right portion of that box you will see ">Post from my Media Locker".
Then and there, you will get to see all your posts categorized if it's an album, a review, a music post or whatsoever and Voila! You'd get to change the settings of your post in less than a minute, (or more than a minute if you have a slow connection, hehe). From "for everyone" to "contacts" only, or from "contacts" only to " for everyone", you can change, any time, using your MULTIPLY MEDIA LOCKER!
Woot Woot!
Cool diba?
much love.

I first posted this blog last August 23, 2007 at 11:02pm in my old account (notyourordinaryguy). I didnt edit it, I didn't change nor add anything,
Timing…
(Haha! Walang magawa.. Random Thoughts…)
It’s funny because I haven’t been in love (romantically) but I am so excited to have kids. The wee-wee.. the poo-poo! Haha! And everything that goes with it… But it’s crazy because I don’t have a girlfriend… I am soo young… and I don’t know how to court… hahha! =)
To make my stupid story short… I am so excited to have someone who will make me smile even without doing anything… I guess I have found her… But can’t court her right now… I already told her that I really like and love her… She’s seeing someone else now… And I'm soo jealous… There are a lot of things that I need to accomplish… Soo many deadlines that I need to beat… So many things that I need to learn.. and soo many experiences I need to have… Love is soo not in my priorities right now… =/
Then I realized that timing is everything to get something you really want… Before, I thought everything could be done when you want it… where you want it.. But love… it’s complicated… We could all have found someone that’s destined for us… But then again, when it’s not yet the time.. it will never happen… I wish I’ll have her and give her the things I really would want to give her… But only time can tell… We could end up together.. or we could just be friends forever… But whatever happens… I know there’s a purpose behind it.,. She and I might not be lovers and end up with someone else, but the value of waiting and timing has taught how to wait and how to spend the time wisely while waiting…
And if anything goes wrong..
I say…
“tear here”
The one that got away

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with…and the one that got away.
Who is the one that got away? I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose.
I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.
How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become dealbreakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s
not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.
Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it’ll make sense, it really
will.
So that day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you’re single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.
You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, “What if they were here today?” You’ll wonder, “What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?” That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest “What if?” you’ll have in your life.
If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that you’re already with the one you’re with
and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a “might have been,” but it happens.
Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to you! lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.
But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple…find him, find her. Because the very existence of a “one that got away” means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one?
Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be “the one that got away” as well for the person who is your “the one that got away.”
You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I’m thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, “Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away.”
