How to Break Up the Angel and Devil Way!

 If you’ve been dating long enough you’ve probably been dumped or been the dumper, so you know how hard it is to be either one.  Personally I think breaking up with someone is worse than being dumped.  There are ways to bow out gracefully and there are ways that you should just never attempt if you want to keep your dating karma intact.  Here we got with 5 Angel ways and 5 Devil Ways.   Which one will you be?

THE ANGEL WAY

 1. Be Honest

Try and always be honest when you are ending anything, from a short term relationship to a doctors appointment.  As soon as you feel things are just not adding up and  you don’t really see them playing white elephant at your Christmas party, tell them.  Let them know you are sorry but you are just not feeling what you expected to be feeling by now.

2. It’s not you, it’s Me.

What a cliché! But seriously this happens, you are dating someone fabulous.  They are attractive, smart, fun to be around, good in bed, they get along with everyone but for some reason your schedule has changed, you are very busy or you just don’t have the time or energy to make it work so technically it really is YOU.

 
3.  In Person

If you have been seeing this person for more than a month, and ESPECIALLY if you are intimate you must call things off in person.  Don’t be scared just meet in a public place.  You are less likely to be kicked in the groin or called names at Coffee Bean. 

 4. You aren’t ready for something serious

You’ve joined some dating sites, you’ve met friends of friends, you’ve flirted at the gym but now you’ve also been on 5 dates with someone who is trying to lock you down for weekend plans and holidays but you just aren’t there yet.  Chances are if they like you this won’t fly but let them know you would love to keep seeing them and enjoy their company but you aren’t quite ready to be exclusive.  Maybe you can see where it goes but be up front.

5. SLOWLY cut off contact
Not my favorite because it definitely stings when you realize it’s happening but in the beginning stages, let’s say a handful of dates or a few hook ups (don’t hate me) it’s ok to slowly and politely communicate less which eventually leads to no calls, texts or pokes on Facebook.

THE DEVIL WAY

 1. Make out with their friend

Yup this pretty much means you won’t be seeing or hearing from your date again.  Also probably will lead to some ugly texts and possibly being blocked by everyone in said circle.  Proceed with caution.

2. Disappear

One day you are sharing a great meal, the week before you saw a movie and the week before that a few dinners and happy hour.  Today you are invisible, I’m talking you’ve erased all form of communication and avoid them.  I am sure this “technique” has worked for some but there is the chance of the run in, expect dirty looks, slapping or possible tears.

3. eMail, Text or Facebook Dump

Also known as the “chicken shit breakup”.   Enough Said.

 4. Tell a Friend

This is when instead of telling the person to their face that you no longer wish to see them, you let their friend or co-worker know “you two are no longer seeing each other”.  Real smooth.

 5. The Band-Aid

Quick and almost painless, a little brutal but just quick call or burst that says “Its over”.  Usually you don’t leave the person with an explanation just a quick way to get out.  Maybe you have a flight to catch maybe you have a paper due.

 I really believe most of you readers are the upper 5 types but if not…just remember “do onto others” because if you know what it feels like you probably won’t do it to someone else.  And most importantly, you will be okay!

Chupacabra?

Fear of the unknown, this is why a Nelson County, KY man shot and killed a creature with greyish, wrinkly skin and no fur.

Mark Cothren described the creature, which strolled onto his lawn in Lebanon Junction, KY, as having large ears, whiskers, a long tail, and about the size of a house cat, reported Wave3.

    “I was like, ‘every animal has hair, especially this time of year!’ What puzzled me is how something like that could survive through a winter with no hair,” Cothren told the TV station.

Could this be the legendary chupacabra, a legendary  cryptid rumored to inhabit parts of the Americas (from chupar “to suck” and cabra “goat”, literally “goat sucker”), or just a dog/cat with a serious skin disease?

    “Everybody is getting very curious, you know. [The] phone is ringing off the hook. It’s kind of a mystery right now,” Cothren said.

The chupacabra has captured the public’s imagination for years, and was even featured on the popular television series The X-Files. Many carcasses of the coyote-like chupacabra have been “identified” across the U.S. and even put on display in museums.

    “It’s hard to judge what an animal is from just a photograph,” said Sam Clites with the Louisville Zoo. Clites say he would have to see the animal in person to study it and determine its species. At first glance, he believed the animal could be a raccoon or a dog, but not a mythical creature.

This guy really defines the term, red-neck, he should be charged with an illegal discharge of a firearm and add some time for stupidity.

It was an illegal kill and probably fuelled by bourbon whiskey and low IQ.

The Cat?

Since I was a child, I have always been sensitive to either paranormal energy, spiritual energy, and very intuitive about things and emotions of others. I've even had dreams that have come true. Slowly I'm sharing a lot of my present and past experience... And future too, once they happen. Here is one from the past-When I was about 13, my younger sister had a slumber party and invited a lot of friends over. I for some reason decided to hang out with them. Anyway the basement of our house is a typical dark unfinished basement that we use for laundry or storage. I have never liked it and up to this day find it creepy.

Well my sister and her friends decided it would be fun to go down in the basement and do a seance. I of course joined in. My sister had invited all her school friends and also a girl from her ballet school who lived in another town nearby. Her father had died a few months after she was born and she never knew him. All her mother told her was he had served in WWII and immigrated from West Germany to the US in the 1960's. Her dad was a lot older than her mom. We decided this would be the perfect person to call. So we all sat in our creepy basement with all the lights turned off except for a flashlight that we put in the middle of our circle which gave an eerie lighting to the basement. We all held hands, closed our eyes, and this girl started calling for her dad. Well nothing happened and we figured nothing would... Then I opened my eyes and noticed that the light from the flashlight was shining right on the girls face and no one elses.

We stayed silent for a while when I heard a little bell sound coming closer to us. I smiled because I knew it was the cat because she had a bell on her collar. All of a sudden another girl screamed, "Something touched me!" I said it was the cat but everyone started screaming. Just then I looked at one of the walls and I saw this shadow swoop across the wall and then head through the wall towards the outside. Another girl yelled, "Did you see that! Did you see that!" All of us were still sitting in the circle so it was not any of our shadows and it was very distinct. I started screaming, got up and then I reached to turn the light on. We all ran upstairs in a mad stampede. My dad wondered what was going on and we told him. He told us not to mess around with things like that and said that the cat had been upstairs asleep the entire time.

We argued with him and said that we had heard her little bell. The cat was just sitting in the corner of the living room staring up at us not asleep. So I don't know if my dad just said that to scare us. After that our cat would run around crazy in the basement for no reason at all. She hated to be locked in there-and would scratch at the door and meow like crazy to let her back upstairs (her litter box was there as was her little bed). I would sneak her in my room and let her sleep in there. Then our basement wall started cracking really bad and water would seep in. Whether it was connected I don't know. Other weird things happened in that house. Most happened at night but I'll save those for another day. Maybe it was connected, maybe not. But what we did was creepy and I don't recommend doing something like that. I know we were young kids, but still, it's not a safe thing to do. Up to this day I don't know what the shadow was nor if it was really the cat who snuck up on us because we never physically saw her there.

It taught us all a lesson and we never did anything like that again. I still can't go in that basement without feeling creeped out. When I visit my mom, I'll only go down if I do my laundry...

The Prayer of the Forger

Convicted forger A. Schiller was serving his time in Sing Sing prison in the late 1800s when guards found him dead in his cell. On his body they found seven regular straight pins whose heads measured the typical 47/1000ths of an inch or 1.17 millimeters in diameter. Under 500 magnification it was found that the tiny etchings seen on the heads of the pins were the words to The Lord's Prayer, which is 65 words and 254 letters long. Of the seven pins, six were silver and one was gold - the gold pin's prayer was flawless and a true masterpiece. Schiller had spent the last 25 years of his life creating the pins, using a tool too small to be seen by the naked eye. It is estimated that it took 1,863 sepatate carving strokes to make it. Schiller went blind because of his
artwork.

The Gold Car

This incident happened in one of the multi storey carparks in Makati City.One of my friend, Alvin (not his real name), has the habit of washing his car during the wee hours around 11pm to 1am after he finished his work or errands.
One night as usual, he went to his favorite spot to wash his car. While he was washing his car, he noticed a lady was also washing her car at the other end of the car park. From the distance, he saw that the color of the car was very unique, it was gold in color. At that point in time, Alvin only wanted to quickly finish up the washing of his car as he needs to rush back home to catch a TV show. Therefore, he continued with the washing.
After he finished washing his car, the lady was already gone. A sudden thought came into his mind that he wanted to take a look at the unique gold color car which he had never seen before. He walked swiftly towards the direction of the gold car and to his horror……….it was a car made of paper… He was so frightened and rooted then. Only after a few seconds, he plucked his feet off the ground and ran as fast as he could to his car and sped home…
Since then, he never washed his car during the night especially if he is alone.

I'm Back (From Out of Space)

 Hello guys! I am back! Finally, our PC is fixed (again) and I could update my blog once more. I missed my blog. So how is everything? How come my followers did not multiply to a hundred when I logged in? (I wish :-) ) Anyway, I am really excited to start posting stuff here and I wish I took a note of everything that was going through my mind while our PC was down. Which reminds me how neglectful I am in writing in my diary. Well, first thing's first.

As soon as I get hold of my family's Christmas celebration, you can be sure that I will posting the pictures here. Our celebration this year was fairly simple. We just had spaghetti, friend chicken, and garden salad. The nice thing is that our neighbors gave us some of their own food so our food increased until we couldn't possibly eat all of it. :-) Fortunately, the food given to us are the sort that won't spoil easily. So we just stashed it inside our fridge and I guess we will be eating it for the next few days until new year.

Sadly, the company I work for decided that we will have a shift on the 31st of December. You can't imagine how crestfallen I was when I heard this. I was really excited to celebrate New Year with my family since I haven't been able to do so since time immemorial. My mother just told me that I should just be thankful that I have work since many people don't have my good fortune. I guess she's right, I mean how can I complain when I have so many blessings already?

I am in the process of redecorating my bedroom and once again, I will post some pictures once I have them available. :-) I am soooo excited!

I'll Cry Into the Void

Samael and Eleanzel, both sons of the Night Spirit, were loving brothers, fully comitted to each other as children.
Samael had a lover, a wind goddess Echo, whom he had a son with. Led by envy and secret desire towards his brother's love, Eleanzel has led Samael's suspicions, as the child was not his.
Samael full of faith, believing in his brother, filled with anger has killed his son and his beloved. Soon after has he discovered his lies.
Led by anger and bitterness he lost his sanity, and to kill his own pain, as a revenge to all the men kind, he is now killing all born children, letting everyone suffer as he once did.

When the lifeless night forms a black winged wave
And scars my tainted heart with a bleeding mark,
Mountain's sharpened beaks dig my ethereal grave
And I'm spreading my arms, I become it's slave,
I welcome the dark

Frozen phantoms awake from the blazing skies
Piercing their claws through my moldered heart
I'm trying to see them with my riven eyes
But I creep into darkness, where your nations rise
Tearing me apart

Scream's howling neck blinds my vicious brain
I'm a trapped locust with a broken wing
I wield my sceptre of everlasting pain
I sit on a throne marked with lethal stain
As a crownless king

And when I finally spread my anger's disease
Frozen orbits' ashes will perish destroyed
I already feel the end's deadly breeze
And dreaming of the heavenly decease
I'll cry into the void

Blood Red

The moon sets its blade upon my head

Lighting the depths of my empty soul

I am not alive, neither am I dead

Inside my mind's castle hollow bells toll

But when the wind blows its howling horn

Among the void you will be reborn

And when I feel your life in my veins,

The shattered sun will shed its bloody tear

Entangled by the endless beginning's chains

I'll silently whisper into your ear

That as I was once lifeless and torn

Within you in darkness I will be reborn

Blessed be!

Howling Lullabies

Two lovers set apart by the gods jealousy, who trapped the boy for eternity in a misty forest. Lead by delusive hope, the girl begged the gods to let her into the forest to find her beloved. For the girl's sadness and despair were so overwhelming, the Royal Spirits agreed.
Without sleep or rest she has been searching for him throughout day and night.
Soon, as the months passed by, out of loneliness and obsession, the girl began to lose her mind. She is now speaking with trees and flowers, hearing her lover's voice in the nightingale's song, seeing his shape in blades of grass.
Her once great love turned into hatred, as in her madness, she blamed the boy for the whole misery she was going through. She is now therefore hunting him, seeking revenge for her disastrous fate.

***
I'm searching for you - where are you my dear?
Is it your warmth I felt in the wind's morning breath?
And if this river thunder was your cry of fear,
Was it me you were calling in the face of death?

I'm waiting for you - where are you my dear?
I loved you so badly you tore me apart!
But did you see my bitter tears,
when with starlit madness you have crowned my heart?


I cannot find you - where are you my dear?
You whipped me with sin and shattered my skies!
But my entity's remembrance will find you here,
and rusted cry will burn in your stoppered ears
Howling lullabies
