An open letter to Prince Charming

i wrote this a few years back. a friend of mine reminded me of the article because he was waiting for his guy who was running late. i have since added a few from the list below but i've yet to meet my prince. i do hope he's still out there! ;D

Dear Prince Charming,

Here's the deal. I'm single, gainfully employed, not entirely unattractive, smart, likeable, and last but not the least charming. So what's the problem you say? See the problem here is -- no one's biting. I've been on this good earth all of 27 years and I have yet to meet the ONE for me. I'm beginning to think that finding Prince Charming is Mission: Impossible! So I'm going to make this easy for everyone concerned. I've listed down (not necessarily in order of importance) the qualities I'm looking for in a man. And they are as follows:



1. Dependable a.k.a. responsible a.k.a. employed. A dependable man for me is someone who is motivated and driven to succeed in all endeavors be it big or small -- the bigger the better, if you ask me. A responsible man is someone who won't forget that it's my birthday and won't be late for dates because “Punctuality is the nobility of Kings” and because I hate waiting. And yes, he has to be employed because otherwise, how will he be able to afford to date me and buy me flowers just because I'm special? Just be grateful I didn't say filthy rich.

2. Faithful. I think faithfulness is definitely a must in any relationship because you have to be able to trust one another to make it work. And more importantly, because I have no time to deal with a two-timing, good-for-nothing bastard. Life is just too short honey.

3. Good sense of humor. I'm looking for a guy who can make me laugh even if I had a lousy day at work. Someone who sees the humor in any given situation because life's like that. I can’t stress enough the importance of humor because at the end of the day, if he can’t even laugh with me then what else is there to share?

4. Kind. Contrary to popular belief, the Feminist Movement did not kill chivalry. Feminist though I am, I’m still a great big fan of "knights in shining business suits". I am definitely partial to a man who will offer his seat in a bus to a pregnant woman, or go out of his way to help an old lady across the street. Animal lovers are a definite plus and someone who shows how much he cares for Mother Nature by recycling will score big points with me.

5. Mature. I'm not saying mature as in old here but mature as in emotionally stable. I need someone who will see beyond my neuroses and accept me for who I am and what I believe in. Someone who will argue with me constructively and still would be willing to compromise. In short, I'm saying that my prince charming is definitely NOT a mama's boy.

If you fit any and all of the criteria above then you're the man I'm looking for. You can reach me at search4myprincecharming@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,
Emily Nora Puno

ps. Prince Charming if you are out there -- find me please!

pps. only if you look like him --

MURPHY'S LAW

share and share alike i say...i first read this at the waiting room of dr. lapus -- the family opthalmologist. i'm not sure how relevant that information is -- just thought i had to say something by way of introduction. MURPHY'S LAW 1. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. 2. You will always find something in the last place you look. 3. No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper. 4. The other line always moves faster. 5. In order to get a loan, you must first prove you don't need it. 6. Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought. 7. If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up. 8. If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway. 9. When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly. 10. Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it. 11. Everyone has a scheme for getting ri...

here comes the bride...

my friend gina, got married over the weekend and i have to say it was a beautiful wedding. it was the couple who planned for everything -- from the invitations, to the flowers, to the venue, to the tokens for the guests -- everything! it was very well organized -- there were a few close calls but otherwise just perfect. we were honored (and i use that term very loosely) to help coordinate on the day itself and although it was nerve wracking and tiring (running around in heels is not my idea of fun!) not to mention the fact that we had to be up at an ungodly hour because the wedding was to be at 7 in the morning!!! -- it was well worth it though. here are a few of the pictures: the heroes of the day! we accept events coordination for KBL (kasal, binyag at libing)!

old friends

i was browsing through the web one day (just like any other day) when i clicked on a link that looked promising. i saw a familiar name so i called the no. listed (which was an overseas no. but what the heck!) and to make a long story short i found my old college friend. i was sooo excited! it was like my birthday and christmas rolled into one. unbelievable! and when i finally got to talk to her it was as if it was just yesterday when we saw each other last. we've set up a date so looking forward to that.
