#lanaslist

This is based from a Wattpad story, entitled Lana’s List written by Ate Louisse (fallenbabybubu). Nainspire lang ako so ayun. Hahaha! :D Tska OTP ko rin sila Lana Lopez at Zeo Alcante. ♥ I also advise you to read the story itself guys!! =)

Rule #1: Define his status.

            There are two kinds of guys, one is unreachable (out of your league) and the other is reachable (kaya pang pantayan kahit papaano).

  Rule #2: Keep your cool.

            ‘Wag kang masyadong pahalata na naaapektuhan ka or nasasabik ka, kahit sobra sobra na. Hindi porke’t maraming nagpapapaka-gaga sa kanya means okay na yun. No! Don’t be like that. Be different.

  Rule #3: Never assume.

            Sabihin na niyang manhid ka, pero mas nakakahiya pa rin kung maga-assume ka tapos mali pala. That’s the problem with guys. Gusto nilang magets moa gad without saying anything their part. Unfair, diba? So make him SAY IT.

  Rule #4: Create a nickname for him.

             Yung nickname na pipiliin mo, hindi dapat compliment. Dapat kakaiba pa rin. That way, dagdag familiarity and closeness. Pag nagtext ka or tumawag or nagchat , tas tinawag mo siya by that nickname, ikaw agad ang papasok sa isip niya.

  Rule #5: Never ask for his number.

            Magkatigasan na kayo, pero huwag na huwag mong kukunin ang number niya. Hayaan mo na siya ang humingi. Kapag binigay naman sayo, huwag ikaw ang unang magtetext.

            Exception: You can only message him first if random. Example nun ay kung may makita/ mapanood / marinig ka that reminds you of him.

  Rule #6: Never reply too quickly nor too long.

             Kapag nagtext ka kaagad, halatang sabik ka masyado. Kapag nagtext ka ng masyadong matagal, nakakatamad kang maging katext. Dapat tama lang. 4-8 minutes, para hindi halata.

  Rule #7: Lessen the smiley face and ‘haha’.

            Whenever you’re chatting with him, bawasan ang smiley face at pagtawa. Magmumukha kang fangirl. Pwera nalang syempre kung nakakatawa talaga ang pinag-uusapan niyo. You can also use ‘XD’ pero huwag masyado.

  Rule #8: Appear indifferent.

           Don’t let him find out na you know almost everything about him. Kapag may sinabi siya once at tumatak sa isip mo, huwag mong ipapaalam na naaalala mo pa. First of all, creepy yun for guys.

  Rule #9: Never spill on some he knows.

            Kahit pa anong pilit sa ‘yo, kahit pa sobrang close mo, kahit trusted mo talaga, huwag na huwag mong ipapaalam na gusto mo siya sa kakilala niya (unless gusto mong iparating dun sa taong gusto mo).

  Rule #10: Be impressive.

              If you don’t know what he’s talking about, pretend you do then Google it later nalang. Ano ba ang number one favorite topic ng mga lalaki? Sports. Know it and own it. Impressive sa mga lalaki kapag may alam ka, lalo na kapag may alam ka sa sports.

  Rule #11: Like sports.

              Big points sa mga lalaki kapag mahilig ka sa sports. Kahit hindi ka athletic, basta you like watching it. That’s a turn on sa most guys.

  Rule #12: Don’t overthink.

             Madalas napakasimple lang naman ng intention nung guy pero nilalagyan na natin ng mabigat na meaning. Madalas kasi, literal ang mga lalaki. Natataon, walang meaning behid their words or their actions. Sinasabi or ginagawa lang nila yun just because.

  Rule #13: Have a healthy appetite.

             Hindi ito nag-aapply sa lahat ng lalaki, pero impressed sila sa mga babaeng malakas kumain and at the same time can carry themselves. They appreciate a girl who can appreciate good food.

  Rule #14: Know the difference between friendship and romance.

  Rule #15: Never message first.

              Either chat, PM, email or text, huwag ikaw ang mauuna. The simplest explanation dito ay: Guys like the chase. Hindi ka niya exactly hinahabol kung hindi ka magpapahabol. Kung ikaw ang unang mag-aapproach, lumalabas ka nang easy sa kanya.

  Rule #16: Let him make an effort.

            Heto ang isa sa mga bagay na makakapagpatunay kung interesado or seryoso ba talaga ang guy sa ‘yo. Mag-eeffort ba naman siya kung hindi? (Unless may motive siyang hindi maganda).

  Rule #17: Make him miss you.

            Sooner or later, baka magkasawaan kayo kapag everyday kayong magkausap. Wala nang room for space. So give him one. In the meantime, do the things you enjoy. If you have school or work, do that. Don’t revolve your world around him. May buhay ka din. Live it.

  Rule #18: Don’t be clingy.

           Most guys don’t like clingy girls – especiall those na wala naming karapata. Cool ka lang. Kung magshare siya, edi okay. If not, okay din. Same goes for you. Hindi mo kailangang magsabi ng bawat galaw mo. Keep him interested.

  Rule #19: Don’t be a nagger.

             Unang-una, may karapatan ka ba? Pero kahit na meron, ‘wag kang maging palengkera. Hindi mo ikagaganda ang pointless na pagtatalak. Hindi rin maganda sa paningin ng guy na gusto mo, or kahit sino.

   Rule #20: Accept defeat.

            Kung hindi gumana yung list, tanggapin mo nalang. There’s no point in deluding yourself that you can still make your crush fall for you. Kahit gaano ka pa ka-determined, if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. Hindi mo mapipilit yung feelings niya. So just move on, girl. It’s over.

I loved and remember a lot of parts in the story but here’s a part that I really like is when Lana and Oliver were in a restaurant and they were having a serious conversation

Lana: Bakit ganyan kayo ni Zeo? Oliver: what do you mean? Lana: You guys are too good to be true Oliver: Akala mo lang yun. L: Hindi kaya O: Normal guys lang din kami. We drink. We’ve tried smoking weed. We get horny. We watch porn. We crave for sex. We’d rather play video games than go on a date. We make mistakes and mess things up. We have flaws, too. Nasasabi mo lang yan kasi Zeo and I know how to treat girls properly, at least we try or best to. L: Yun na nge not many guys are like that especially guys with your looks O: Girls aren’t looking in the right place kasi. Kaya nga a lot of girls get heartbroken madalas kasi they get tired of waiting, so they settle for less. Result? They think guys like me and Zeo are some sort of endangered species. When really, that’s not the case. Heto nalang, try looking around you. Observe L: Kadalasan kasi, sa simula lang ideal yung lalaki. Kapag sila na, guys change O: Break up, then. He’s not the guy she said “yes” to. Why put up with him? L: Ever heard of accepting one’s flaws kung talagang mahal mo? O: Not when he’s not treating her the way he should L: Edi girls should wait for their prince charming? O: No, girls should wait for someone who’ll treat them right all the time.
