Waiting for Mr. Right?
My Cosmo magazine June 2009 edition has been sitting unread in my magazine rack for more than a month now. It was really unusual for me to sort of neglect my magazine that long. Well, I just got a bit busy with other things lately. So, to my Cosmo mag: Sorry na, please!
This morning, I had my chance to flip the pages of my precious fashion companion. Since it was a June issue, most of the topics featured were about love, weddings, marriage proposals, dating and whatever you can relate to for the month of June. There is one column though that caught my attention. It was entitled “Waiting for Mr. Right?”, an excerpt from the “Prayer of Patience” by Rissa Singson-Kawpeng.
When I first read it, I felt it was really perfect for women who have patiently waited and is still patiently waiting for Mr. Right. It was perfect for someone like me.
Lord, today I ask of You, teach me to be patient…
Help me realize that there is purpose in waiting, It is not a waste of time. You are preparing me for what it is to come. And I believe Your plans are beautiful and beyond what I can dream of or imagine. So, mold me and make me into a woman who is pleasing in Your sight and in men’s. And when the time is right, send me the man who will be my partner for life.
A Quick Peek into Winkie's World 
uyy! beys?!…. ^_^
ay ang ganda nman nung prayer…
parang bagay din sya sken…ahihi :))
a very nice prayer Miss Winkie!!
although minsan naiinis akong pinaghihintay, i still believe that patience is a virtue! hehe
Have a great weekend Ms Winkie? 😀

LOL @ CF = Cristy Fermin..
Rhona oh! Cristy Fermin daw… :p
for me, patience isn’t a virtue….it’s a challenge!!!! hehehehe….
tagal naman ng package ni Lord…c Mr. Right daw ang laman…malamang na misroute na yon or na return to sender na. :))
hindi ko alam kung tama bang mag-comment pa ko rito. alam ko namang kung pwede lang eh nginudngod niyo na ko sa pader sa pagiging isang taong may pusong bato ko. pero sana lahat ng nilalang, ganiyan din ang panalangin. dahil naniniwala akong may karapat-dapat na tao para sa isa’t isa.
…at hindi ako ang para sa kaniya.
hayyyy….i really have to work on the patience thing…patience is definitely not one of my virtues…
😦
lam mo, sa totoo lang, hinde naman kelangan maghintay e…hinde lahat ng tao biniyayaan ni Papa God ng patience (for a good reason. kung anuman yun, si Papa God na lang ang nakaka-alam)…i believe na, for those people who can’t wait, God has prepared someone for them, who can appreciate their impatience…
and yeah, there’s no such thing as Mr. Right or Mr. Wrong…lahat tayo ay Mr./ Ms. Right…haven’t you noticed, may mga taong sobrang compatible, may mga taong sobrang right for each other, pero hinde sila nagkakatuluyan…
Kung Mr. Right lang ang pag-uusapan, Mr. Right ko na si bespren Doc Philip…
I shut up na…ipo-post ko na lang sa blog ko
Ax kasi e…lakas manghawa
ang problema, minsan mapagbiro si Papa God heheheh
oftentimes, we think we met the wrong person…akshuli, it doesn’t work that way. We met the RIGHT person it’s just that they have a different reason for being in our lives. Some of them were sent our way for us to learn something, not really to stay.
The term Mr. Right is actually a relative thing….and i shut up…nagmamalalim na naman ako e
ay sori naman po…
basically, it’s just a matter of how you see things. Sabi ko nga dati, the glass maybe half-empty but it is also half-full…pwedeng sa paningin mo e hinde sya si Mr. Right pero sa paningin ni Papa God he is just the right guy for you para may matutunan ka, not really para makasama mo sya pang-habambuhay
…sori umaandar pagiging sophist ko
nyahahaha…hinde bagay no?
makagawa nga ng post na ganyan…yun tipo bang unusan ng utak.
…pero unahin ko muna yung research na kinonduct namin ni Reesie
mr. right is subjective.
sorry for being cruel sa comment, pero may mga taong namamatay ng single, ng hindi natagpuan si. mr./ms. right, kase naghihintay sila ng taong-bibigyan-ko-ng-standard.
just love. wait for someone. if you can’t love him, don’t accept the offer. it will be hard for the both of you. if you found him, be mature. may sarili siyang pangarap. may sarili ka ring pangarap. kung gusto niya makamit yung pangarap na yun, huwag mo siya hadlangan. kung kailangan niya umalis, pumayag ka. kung may magbago sa relasyon, kung hindi niyo na kaya iligtas ang relasyon, itigil niyo na.
kung bumalik siya, tanggapin mo. siguro mahal ka niya talaga. kailangan mo kase magtiwala sa isang tao.
ganyan ang cycle para mahanap si mr./ms. right. maraming test para mapatunayan na ‘right’ na nga siya.
ang tanong, ikaw, ako, bawat isa sa atin dapat maging mr./ms. right. dapat tayo talaga ang pumunan sa kukumpleto sa isang tao. hindi tayo pwede humanap ng kukumpleto sa atin. sa atin lang.
gawin natin yung share natin. tayo ang maging mr./ms. right.
ay, ang dami kong sinabi. tatahimik na ako. promise.
i like your way of thinking…magawan nga ng post
*ay sori, nangi-alam na naman ako*
very well-said Ax! hats off! 🙂
AX, sana lahat ng taong ngmamahal kagaya mong mg isip.. ^_^
I’d have to agree with Ax on this one.
Finding the right one is subjective. And most of the time, the people waiting for their Mr. or Ms. right end up not getting them at all.
On entry:
Looking for your Mr. or Ms. Right is not the same as looking for someone to be in a relationship with. Because looking for a person that suits your preference is biased and one sided to you. Said simpler, it’ll be unfair for the other person in the relationship.
A relationship by definition came from the root word relation. And we can say that relation came from the word relay, which means to take turns. Hence you can’t have a relationship with yourself alone. Or at least figuratively speaking.
And wouldn’t you think it’d be boring if you do end up with your Mr. or Ms. Right? That would mean no arguments, disputes or misunderstandings. I’ve never heard of people being in a relationship who have not had a single argument about something no matter how big or small it is.
In the end, its not about whether you find your Mr. or Ms. Right. Its how you find each other and agree to spend the rest of your lives together. Add emphasis on “agree”.

napaka-controversial ng mga comments dito ah. heehe
just dropping by, napadaan lang at ewan ko kung paano ako napadpad dito
No comment here. I suck at romance…
malay mo ang mr.right mo pala e nasa paligid mo lang. kasi minsan kung sino pa yung hindi natin napapansin sila pa yung lihim na nagmamahal pala sa atin.
… di ko alam pero tingin ko malungkot ang post na ito
here’s my sincere hug.. ummm..
take care
uyyy!! may pa hug! hug na sila..ahihi 🙂
hindi ko alam kung galing kay bob ong, pero may nakapagsabi na minsan, wag mo na hintaying may lumandi sayo. dapat daw, lumandi ka na rin kahit pakonti-konti.
agree ako sau jan!
si Bo Sanchez ang may sabi regarding sa tamang “pagluluminandi” sa book na ” Finding Your One True Love”. hehehehe….
the real mr. right is someone that will come along our way…minsan nga kaharap mo na pero hindi mo lang talaga makilala…kasi nga he doesnt fit our ideal…
ideals do come true, as our dreams are, if one is willing to accept the real world….dito ginagamit ang patience…hindi sa paghihintay kung hindi patience to realize and acknowledge the presence of that mr. right in your life. with all his gifts and limitations….
hmmmm never akong naniwala sa mr.right i don’t know why..siguro kasi ako may lablayp man o wala ee keri ko lang…wala lang parang ewan lang..
tsk tsk alang kasense sense ang comment ko.ahehe
By the way, I’m sorry if I may have comment-jacked Ax’s response on this entry.
My bad.
I’ll try not to do that again. =P
ang init ng topic sa comment hehe..pinagpawisan ako ate hehe..
at naiintindihan ko naman hehe..
wah ako ma say dito hehe..mr.right, hindi nga din ata ako naniniwala pero kung dumating be thankful ako xempre..at happily ever after ang dating namen hehe..(day dreaming)..
pero the prayer mukang gagamitin ko din yan ate sa pag-iintay ko..(wink)
okei so sinong kasama mo sa daydream mo na yan tungkol sa mr. right?ha lovely?
hehe
nyahaha si terry nakikipag date haha..sa moa pa ko dadalin haha..(wat can i do?)
huwaaa…
ikaw azul ha nang aalaska ka na naman hehe..
I don’t really believe in waiting. If one wants to find Mr./Ms.right, one needs to move thy ass. I mean, that someone won’t fall into your lap without making any effort. You have to go out, you have to connect, re-connect, whatever it takes.
just remember that mr or miss right comes in different shapes, sizes, color, and personality…might have to alter the mr/miss right checklist once in a while.
and for what it’s worth, winks, ur very attractive…it’s just cupid might be getting picky on u.
hi winkz, miss you! 😀
i have an entry before about this. sa blogspot pa na blog ko noon. ito yun:
It’s hard to keep waiting for Mr. Right but it’s worth it in the end. When chemistry is absent, it is okay to break-up or say no. You can’t force yourself to like someone because you have no other options. You deserve to be with someone who you truly love and loves you in return. Someone who makes bell rings, bird chirps in your head, makes your heart pound, and makes you palm sweaty. If Mr. Right still not there, say ” thank you very much, nice to meet you but I am waiting for the famous Mr. Right.” As what my boyfriend always says, patience is the key to happiness.
ngayon ko lang napansin, gusto ko yung mga comments sa taas ha! lalo na yung kay aperockstar. 😀
define Mr. Right. siya ba yung soulmate mo? or yung ideal man mo? or yung magiging lifetime partner mo? or all of the above? hehe.
maybe the correct word isn’t “wait.” that’s too passive. it implies that we need not do anything anymore nor exert any more effort in finding the one for us. there’s something that we must do.
we must “prepare.”
let’s prepare ourselves for when that perfect moment comes, and we meet that person who may not be perfect but who is perfect for us.
and then we hold on, expect the rough ride, the smooth sail, the highs and the lows, the little bursts of ecstasy, the small bouts of agony, the happy hours and the sad times.
*sighs*
this is diego jose, saying something i would normally not say on my own blog. hehehe.
geez!
ur comments lately are quite..uhm…melodramatic? so un-you!
jowkness!
agree ako jan deejay. We don’t wait, we prepare…and while preparing ourselves, we also have to move our butts in order for the world to notice us..
sabi nga sa My Sassy Girl:
“all I know is that even when destiny really wants to accomplish something, it can’t do it alone. You still have to go to that restaurant. You still have to show up. You still have to build a bridge… to the one you love”
deejay? is that you? ang bigat ha…
hoy winkie, kikay, reesie! bat andami nyong side comments ha? hmf! hehehe!
di nyo lang alam. malalim akong umibig. *buntunghininga*
ganyan ako, maloko on the outside, kahit nagdurugo ang puso. *nangingilid ang luha*
wahaha!
ay naku deejay! ikwento na kasi yan! sabi naman sau sagot ko na kape, sabihin mo lang kung kelan at saan…wag kang mag-alala, isi-secret pa rin namin identity mo
Hi Ms. Winkie 🙂
Everyone dreams of finding the perfect mate.
There is someone out there who is right for you. Believe in yourself and he will come along when the time is right. 🙂
(Naligaw na yata ang prinsipe ko. hahaha! :D)
ehem.. ehem… hindi kaya ako na yun… aaaawwww… joke lang…
ako kolektor ng Cosmo. 🙂
at tama ka, ang ganda nyang prayer na yan.
para sa atin.. Happy Waiting! hahaha! 😆
good things come to those who wait.. pero while waiting, you may mess up with the wrong ones muna hehe. kidding =)
ika ni AC, happy waiting =)
hehe! i shall link you up =)
kaso how sure are you that the one you’re messing up with is the wrong one and not the right one?
*ay, nagseryoso bigla?!*
hi, it’s http://www.jayviedistor.wordpress.com =)
Mr. Right?
Is there such thing as Mr. Right?
In Man’s world, the question should be, is there such thing as Miss. Right so to become my Mrs. Right.
What I know now that I didn’t know before is that… Mr. Right/Ms. Right, do exist.
However, having a relationship is not a walk in the park. It is always a struggle… diplomacy and understanding…
But most of all, TRUST.
LOVE could not glue a forever and ever relationship the till life after death relationship without Trust EVEN if Mr. Right comes around.
If trust is mistrusted, then believe you me… the relationship is in a DEEP DEEP SH*T.
Revisiting: my one cent on relationship
I agree. A very ideal concept, if you are talking about meeting with someone.
But after meeting with someone and living with that someone for twenty years, (by the way I’ve been married for twenty years already) and I did not think that she was the right ideal woman for me. We work together through all these years to be right with each other.
… Acceptance in flaws and all is not enough.
You have to work out with the flaws because flaws could destroy relationship unless one night stand, okey lang.
You have to work out with each other’s flaws everything that would compromise your relationship. Why? if you wanted your marriage to last forever.
In this country, right at this moment, I could pay a lawyer $500 dollars and get my divorce paper done in 24 hours . Just like that…
But no, we work hard me and my wife to make our differences to make this relationship last this long.
I did not mention here the perspective if of having a kid of your own. That is another stage of the relationship.
ngaun ko lang naisip…pwede ka nang hinde maglagay ng panibagong post for 2 weeks. Dito pa lang hinde na matapos-tapos ang commentarization
korek ka jan ate winks…well mas madali kasing makacatch ng attention at interest ng isang tao kapag ang topic eh about LOVE, cguro kc lahat tyo nakakarelate d2…tamo lahat sila kanya kanyang opinion..may negative at positive reaction nakakaaliw…nyahaha!
the term mr. right is overrated sometimes. just find someone who can love you with all his heart and someone who’s not too bad looking. you’ll be happy. 🙂
love,
nobe
Very nice prayer, I dunno why, pero I got teary-eyed while reading this. God is really good. 🙂
*di naman ako masyado late noh? Nyahahaha.
napadaan lng at medyo nakabasa ng konting mga comments, lahat ng comments e pasok talaga, no doubt about that.
pero magkakaiba ang ugali ng tao di lahat ng tao e pare-pareho ang katwiran para sa mga MR/MISS RIGHT.
kung tutuusin wala naman talagang mga RIGHT person para sa atin e.
pumipili lng tau ng taong sa alam natin e maligaya tau at kumportable kapag kasama na natin sila.
swertihan lng yan… parang exam na di ka nakapagreview…
kaya pag-isipang mabuti and choose the best answer. good luck!!!
di ko na hahabaan at baka kung saan na nmn ako mapunta e… hehehe!!!
