THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
Source: The Manila Times
By: Mark J. Macapagal

In your life, you'll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There's the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you're with … and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away? I guess it's that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn't fall the right way, I suppose.

I believe in the fact that ending with someone, finding a longtime partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing. It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance.

How often have you gone through it without realizing it? When you're not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn't matter who you're with, it just doesn't work. Small problems become big; inconsequentials become deal breakers simply because you're not ready and it shows. It's not that you and the person you're with are no good; it's just that it's not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you're ready. You really are. And when this happens you'll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be the most perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it'll work because you're ready. It'll work because it's the right time and you'll make it work. And it'll make sense, it really will.

So that day comes when you're finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want, and you've become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there's no telling when this day will come. Hopefully you're single but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn't matter.

All you know is that you've changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about.

You'll think about them because you'll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You'll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?" That's what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you'll have in your life.

If you're married, you'll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you're mature enough to realize that you're already with the one you're with and this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you'll think about him/her every so often, but it's alright. It's never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who's already married. In which case it's the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you're old and gray and reminiscing. But if neither of that is the case, then it's different. What do you do if it's not yet too late? Simple … find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "the one that got away" means that you'll always wonder, what if you got this one?

Ask him out to coffee, ask her out to a movie, it doesn't matter if you've dropped in from out of nowhere. You'd be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away."

You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won't make a difference. If the timing is finally right, it'll all just fall into place somehow and you know, I'm thinking, it would be a great feeling, in the end, to be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you're the one that almost got away."

Let KIDS be HEARD

Have you ever tried playing tag in a dark alley? or gone through a mirror maze not knowing what to do or which way to go? It’s just so hard isn’t it? You just don’t know if you still have the strength to go on… half of you just want to let go and just give up but then the other half still says I can do this and I can make it work…. decisions… decisions….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DON ENRICO

Wow.. that was deep

2005-06-24T09:14:00.000+08:00

Remember when getting high meant swinging at the playground. When the worst thing you could get from boys was cooties. Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were who ran the fastest. War was a card game. The only drug you knew of was cough medicine and wearing skirts didn't mean you were a slut. The only thing you smoked was the tires on your bike. The only thing that hurt was skinned knees and the only things that can get broken were your toys. Life was simple and care free. But what I remember the most, was wanting to grow up.

repost if you miss them too

DANGER: water in microwave

2005-05-05T00:06:00.000+08:00

A 26-year-old man decided to have a cup of coffee. He took a cup of
water & put it in the microwave to heat it up (something that he had
done numerous times before). He wanted to bring the water to a boil.
When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As
he looked into the cup, he noted that the water was not boiling, but
instantly the water in the cup "blew up" into his face. The cup remained
intact until he threw it out of his hand but all the water had flown out
into his face due to the build up of energy.

His whole face is blistered & he has 1st & 2nd degree burns to his face
which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his
left eye.

While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that
this is a fairly common occurrence & water (alone) should never be
heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something
should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir
stick, tea bag, etc. It is, however, a much safer choice to boil the
water in a tea kettle.

General Electric's response:

Microwave water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any
liquid for more than two minutes per cup.

After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds
before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter:

"Thanks for the microwave warning." I have seen this happen before. It
is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime
water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water
is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water(less than
half a cup). What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor
bubbles can form.

"If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface
scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the
bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat that has built up, the
liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its
boiling point.

"What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which
is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel
the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated
beverage spews when opened after having been shaken."

Heating distilled or deionized water is an added hazard as all the
small, distinct particles that bubbles could normally form on are not
there.
