PARNO'S (TOP 30) PERSONAL MUSINGS:
1.) Everything in life happens for a reason.
2.) I believe there’s a God... I just don’t respect most of the religions that acknowledge Him. Buddhism seems okay.
3.) Skydiving only gives you confidence to go skydiving again.
4.) If you’re a person who always likes starting conversations for the hell of it, leave me alone. Chances are you’ll either bring up a ridiculous and completely irrelevant topic to waste my time with...or mention something you did in the past that’ll piss me off.
5.) I try not to jinx my future plans by talking ‘bout them before I do ‘em. But I don’t mind jinxing your plans by asking ‘bout them in a conversation.
6.) Being too nice to people can piss them off as much as being a jerk to them.
7.) How do you get back at someone who wouldn't even care if you tried to spite 'em?
8.) Don't ask a bullshit question if you know you're gonna get a bullshit answer. (In other words, don't try to be smart and ask me a tough question if you know I'm just gonna sugarcoat my response and blow smoke up your ass. 'Cause I will.)
9.) For those of you who know me in person, you’ll notice that I tend to smile a lot. Most of the time, I’m actually UNAWARE that I’m smiling. How is that possible? Beats me. Inside I’m actually peeved. Really, really peeved. But I'm just indifferent right now.
10.) Being love-sick blows.
11.) So does being heartbroken. Um, obviously.
12.) Never fall for a girl who’s already in a relationship. Or at least a girl who’s in a relationship and posted semi-nude pics of herself online in the past. Kinda makes it hard for me to get her out of my mind.
13.) As an Asian dude, it’s a lot easier to talk to non-Asian girls than it is Asian girls. And that’s because Asian girls generally think you’re trying to make a move when you’re talking to ‘em. And they’re usually right.
14.) Apparently, I either need to be Caucasian, African-American or Latino to have an Asian girlfriend (or wife). Or all three. But DON'T be Asian. Or at most be PARTLY Asian.
15.) Latino girls are sexy. Glad I’m Asian. (I'd elaborate, but I don't wanna)
16.) Filipino TV shows—particularly game shows—are extremely lame (for starters, they’re incredibly melodramatic). But the Pinays on them sure are hot.
17.) I don’t like hanging around people who remind me of myself. So if you’re single and slackin’ in life, go away.
18.) Non-Asian parents stress independence once you’re 18 and off to college... Asian parents stress medical school and then a high-paying nursing job afterwards. But be sure you come home on time or else your mom will leave countless voicemails on your cell phone asking where you are.
19.) I was born in the U.S., so excuse me if I don’t really express my Pilipino Pride (yes, pronounce Pilipino with a ‘P’).
20.) I have no intention of going back to the Philippines. If I wanted to go to a warm, tropical climate, I’d go to Hawaii. At least I'd still be on U.S. territory.
21.) I'm left-handed. Of course I'm odd.
22.) I just realized I’m only ‘slightly’ interested in filmmaking right now (but still love going to the movie theaters and watching anything but laughably bad horror flicks and "torture porn"). Although... I still enjoy the cathartic effect of writing scripts about the crapfest that is life. That, and I enjoy editing someone else’s footage and posting it on my MySpace video page. And then claiming it as my own.
23.) Don’t date a co-worker. Or if you do, at least wait till you get fired to do so.
24.) In order to hate someone, you had to love 'em first. Totally sappy and lame, but true.
25.) You can't control who you develop feelings for. The actual line is "You can't control who you fall in love with"...but that is also totally sappy and lame.
26.) One-sided love leads to ruined friendships. I should know, haha.
27.) Vietnamese/Chinese girls. It just wasn't meant to be... (See Musings #11 and 22)
28.) People who send group texts on their cell phones piss me off. If your text message wasn't meant for me directly, then don't send me one. Douche.
29.) Be cautious about venting your problems to people. By doing that you’ll make sure you don't confide too many things that might make them lose respect for you. Kinda like saying how I place Buddhism in such high regard when I'm actually Catholic. Okay, lousy example.
30.) Ignore the musing above. Savor the rest.
