Last Wednesday we focused empty hand martial arts. When you punch, you should keep your elbows down.

Last Friday I ate at Tri Mo with M- E- A- C- and J-. The chicken shawarma is totally legit!!! And then there were a lot of the usual laughs and sassiness. And then there was C-, and I think what's happening it's good but personally I don't like taking advantages of broken people. I mean, even though C- says allez ist gut, I don't think you can easily just. In fact, I still see a lot of wounds. Although there wouldn't be a problem of the guy is sincere and all, it's just a little dangerous. But the way C- is taking steps now makes it a bit okay.

And then we went to Intramuros and walked around Fort. People were late as usual and then we ate at Lucky Rainbow Restaurant in Chinatown and I also bought Lord Stow's egg tart that is recommended by A- and my mom said it's good the first thing in the morning.

And I watched "Mga Kwentong Tsubibo" and saw E- (more of her silhouette) and I learned that selling kidneys is illegal in order to discourage human trafficking. But of course the dilemma was that people were actually willing to sell their kidneys because of poverty. And no one would donate, of course. I freely donate my blood but I'll think ten times before I donate my kidney for a stranger. Of course if it's for my parents or my brother then it's okay.

And then this morning I'm thinking of reevaluating what I'm looking for in a woman. I mean, after all what happened I think it's a proper course of action.

Yes I still think I should love a woman for who she is, all her flaws and all her dreams. But then I'm not just looking for anyone. I'm looking for a partner. I know what I want to do and I don't want another burden. I need someone who would walk with me, and keep me in the right track if ever I turn away.

Yes, I'm complementarian. I'll talk about that some other day. But the point is, Eve was made for Adam to help him in his work. Women aren't necessarily housewives. In fact, they should be partners at work. But then I have the dilemma of raising children. I do NOT want to hire somebody else to do it. Why should my child be raised by another?

So there. Things I don't want, non-negotiable:
1. Princesses that need pampering
2. Quarrelsome
3. Unable to say sorry and accept mistakes
4. Controlling

Things I want, non-negotiable:
1. Follower of Christ
2. Reliable/Trustworthy
3. Humble
4. Has the same heart
5. Able to learn and think

(you'd be surprised how many hold on to beliefs without questioning them in the least)

Of course this is not exhaustive. But it's a good start.
