I SAW MY FUTURE: I Was Old. I Was Happy. I Had A WIFE!

I’ve been having the weirdest dreams this week. This morning was a funny one.

In my dream today, I’ve met my “old self”. Nah, not my past but it appears to be my future.

I saw myself as an old, 60-year something man. My hair was grey, face was wrinkled but my teeth was still complete. I was wearing big dorky glasses, a knitted blue sweater over a white crisp gingham shirt, khaki pants and my favorite white Chuck Taylors (yes, I think I’ll become a cool Lolo haha!). The weird part was I was holding a Magic 8-ball on my right hand.

I was in a place where its snowing since there was some white something in the window. I was in the kitchen that looks like this:

I was sitting on the dining table chair and across the table, there was a woman. I’m not sure who that woman was. She was young, aroung 30 something, with long hair and full bangs. I can tell that she’s tall since she has long legs. I can tell that she’s not Pinay since she has very strong features; her eyes were hazel, hair was brown and very high cheeckbones. She was wearing a yellow dress and a white apron and she was just staring at me.

Now, despite the perfect setting and the happy look on my face, nung nakita ko yung woman, I started to think na this was a nightmare hahahaha! We were talking but its so weird that I wasnt able to hear anything that we talked about. All I can hear was the sound of the boiling water on the stove top, the strong winds outside, the burning wood in the fire place and the weirdest of them all, the water rushing out from the faucet in the kitchen sink. It was open but it didnt flood at all. Weird.

Now, as much as I dont wanna welcome the idea, the woman appears to be my wife. One friend told me na baka naman she’s my care taker, or maid. I duuno. Basta as of now, I dont see myself having a wife. If it was a man, that would be a nice dream kaso hindi eh so for now… it was a nightmare!

BRAIN IN LOVE: Are You A Left-Brainer Or A Right-Brainer?

My friend Lester told me last week that there is no “Left Brainer or Right Brainer”. Sabi niya, “Both sides of the brain function at the same time”. Another friend of mine told me once that “A perfect relationship is composed of a left brainer and a right brainer since they find that perfect balance from each other”.

I’ve been reading these articles about being a left or right brainer and personally, somehow I find it true. Let me share some of the information that I read over the Internet:

The Analytical LEFT BRAINER

I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate equations and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

The Creative RIGHT BRAINER

I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.

Very interesting huh? Now, while reading this, I came across a very interesting Internet Quiz about this. Its called “Are You A Left Or Right Brained In… (are you ready for this???) LOVE”. Nung nakita ko siya, I tried it agad. I answered the questions as fast as I could since it will measure whether I’m a left brainer lover or a right-brained one. The quiz looks like this:

And the results??? As I expected, I’m a RIGHT BRAINER and it’s very true:

Don Is A Right Brained In Love
Bit of a drama queen
Peacemaker, first to end a fight
Good at thinking up creative dates
Tend to fall in love and get hurt easily
Going with your gut instead of your head
Good at recognizing patterns in relationships
Been in love many times, perhaps too many to count
Wildly passionate and intense when falling in love
Spontaneous with relationships, going with the flow
Overly visual – can play back past dates like movies in your mind
Roses, love poems, and stuffed animals are a good start to winning your heart
You are romantic, empathetic, and caring. More than most people, you really love being in love.

I also found the counterpart on one of the comments on that site. Here it is:

You Are Left Brained In Love
Cool and clearheaded
Tend not to get swept away
Dependable and trustworthy
Able to look at thing objectively
Honest and direct in relationships
Rely on standards when picking a man
Good at solving relationship problems
Ready to compete for your sweetie’s heart
Articulate, a good conversationalist, and witty
Think overly romantic displays are a waste of time
A few serious boyfriends as opposed to many flings
Notice all of the details about your guy – good and bad

Having these two results, although a couple should still be two separate individuals; I think its good to say that a left brainer and a right brainer makes a good couple since everything is balanced and they would compensate the traits that the other person is lacking. A perfect example of a nice teamwork.

You see, when it comes to love, some people use their heart over their brain. Meaning, they depend on their emotions rather than thinking of the pros and cons of the situation. On the other hand, some people use their brain. This quiz is good in determining which part of your brain works most when it comes to this matter. It’s a fun quiz! If you want to take it when you’re bored, here’s the link. You can tell me all about it too:

Serendipity + Waiting In Vain

When I arrived home this morning after a wonderful night, I opened my PC and I felt like I need to watch the movie Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Bekinsale again.

To make the long story short (and for those who haven’t seen the movie), it’s about Jonathan and Sara, two strangers who met on a bustling shopping day in the winter of 1990. Their paths collide in the mad holiday rush and became victims of mutual attraction. Even if they were both involved in another relationship, Jonathan and Sara spend the evening wandering around Manhattan. But, when the night reaches its end, the two were forced into determining some kind of next step. Jonathan suggests an exchange of phone numbers, but Sara proposes an idea that will allow fate to take control of the future. If they are meant to be together, she tells him, they will find their way back into one another’s lives. A few years later, Jonathan and Sara’s lives have taken drastically different courses, and now each is faced with the prospect of marrying another person. But they’ve decided to locate each other by whatever means possible.

Sweet isn’t it?

Also, when I turned my iTunes on shuffle, out of nowhere, this song by Annie Lennox played. Its like magic!

For me, it means that no matter how perfect the situation is right now; like you feel that you are meant to be and everything is perfect and no matter how deep your feelings for a person is, sometimes you have to put it on hiatus because that person is not ready yet to take that next level. Or sometimes, he/she needs to find him/herself or fix something.

It’s not easy; sad even. I think that person should really have the courage and be strong to face this kind of situation. But if you really have feelings for that person, you should understand, give way and also be prepared for whats coming your way. So it is necessary not to demand nor expect to avoid hurt.

I’m not really sure if it’s just coincidence but for sure, both were describnig what I’m feeling right now.
