Why Are Men Happier?

Men Are Just Happier People– What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100.

People never stare at your chest when you’re talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness.

If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original colour. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.

You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes one colour for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can “do” your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache..

You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier .

Believe it or not, i’m exchanging emails with Bruce Lee! LOL! If you’re using outlook, a notification will prompt if you have new mails right? Looking at the prompt at one glance, i thought i was just receiving one of those annoying spam mails. I didn’t bother open it. I even thought of deleting the mail. Fortunately, i changed my mind and opened the mail. Geezz, i just spared my life for a very compromising situation should have i deleted the said mail. It was an official mail from someone in Korea. And his name is no other than Bruce Lee!!! heheh!

see, bruce lee is emailing me! hahah!

The supposedly 1.5 hour meeting with big E yesterday turned out as a 4.5-hour-meeting. Pretty long eh! Geezz it was actually my first time to attend a meeting conducted by him. I thought he is a snob. I quite changed my impression. I think he is funny. Mind you, he is cute! Only he has a santa claus figure! heheh! I think he’s approachable only he needs a little more time to interact with his people. He should fulfill his promises or else……

After all the outings from last last weekend to last weekend, I’m all exhausted and nursing my burnt dark skin. I need to smile in the dark to be noticed! Heheh! First we went to Bantayan Island then to Bohol last weekend. It was a straight two weekend getaways. It was a planned trip to cater our two guest expats. I no longer have the energy to go on another outing this weekend. I need to rest!
