Rules rules rules

To deal with other people is not an easy thing to do. Humans don't come with manuals (how I wish) so with some people, you might need to do some observations, generate a trend report, and make an analysis out of it as a back up in your decision making process. Or just guess.. like what I normally do.

Starting a new relationship is much harder. Alot of adjustments, adaptations, and compromisings to do. Well, having a relationship is not easy to start with, as it comes with a shitload of other things, i.e. commitment, rararara. Starting, maintaining.. maybe ending it would be the easiest part.. at times.

I remember a few years ago, I was looking at my ex's ex's boyfriend's friendster profile (below is the diagram if you're one of those *whisper* slow ones).


I don't actually need to do the diagram and you don't need to know the people righhhhttt?? Hehehe.. Me blogger - You blogder! I got carried away that I almost forgot what I was about to say. So, this chick (Mime) wrote a testimonial for Disco Bear that looks like this (ps: names have been omitted to protect privacy.. and to prevent people who might know someone who knows them to tell them that I am talking about them... it's a shush factor!)
When I read it, I thought.. is that what people do nowadays??? You set up rules before going into a relationship. What's the beauty in it? No assumptions, predictions... It then skipped my mind until pretty recently, I found out that someone else is doing that too! Man, I must be so old that I don't know these things.

I think I should also bring up some rulings in my very own relationship.. just to keep up with the trend.. be in fashion.. you know.. I can only think of 1 thing though. See, si pacar wants to pursue a career in music, he wants to be a musician.. I repeat, musician, not singer.. or vocalist, whatever (he objects when I say singer instead of musician) So, my very smart friend came up with this question and solution to her own question.

Sin: "If Erik became famous, he'd have many girl fans, what if he cheated on you.. or something?"
Me: "Well..."
Sin: "You should have an agreement beforehand, to split the royalty 50-50 if he cheated on you.."

SinSin then walked away and I stood there in awe. Smart!

That'll for sure be one of the rules in my relationship, I'll think of some more and keep you posted.

P.S.: I just realized that the testimonial doesn't actually say what the rules are, she used to have a testimonial with them. I think it was understanding... and... those kind of crap haha.. oops..
