fast dating...

our class is now on the contemporary stories, so we have finished "Games" this story is about a girl that keeps on changing voices and names whenever she calls to her boy friend in his office so the guys office mates think that he is a "chickboy" until the girl realizes that what she's doing is wrong.

to answer the blogs question we are ask to compare the canon stories to the contemporary stories, i chose the relationship part. The stories in canon are the old type or style of courting a girl or dating it's so old fashion since the stories were written in the past and also the setting of the stories while here in the contemporary stories the type and style has a bigger gap because the story we read was on a modern setting.

since I'am talking about relationships, on the earlier days of it guys must handle the girl with care. meaning they have to really get the girls trust and especially the family of the girl. in the earlier years guys must work, like chopping woods and getting water from the the "poso" in order for the girl's family to have water during the whole day. another is the guy must only court the girl on their house and holding the hands is a big big deal that time. another is in the much earlier year rich families are used to fixed marriage especially if the parents of the girl has a big amount of money to pay to the boys family. so what they do is in order for them to be paid they let their daughter marry the son of the family that they should return a favor. for me i think it is wrong to have a fixed marriage especially if the girl doesn't have any love for the boy she's going to marry.

let us now go to the modern days of courting and dating. now a days having a gf or bf is not a big deal anymore for some out there it is like a game now their couples and then suddenly they split up and find another fast. now a days courting is never done in the girls home, they often meet up in malls or in some other places. finding a bf or gf is fast now a days especially we the technology. first is the internet, we can find a lot of people in friendster, myspace, zorpia, multiply, etc... after knowing them in the net you can ask for their ym ID after that you just chat for a while and the next step is you get each others cellphone number and then with just a several text you may be dating the one you meet on the internet. it's fast and some call it speed dating.

well for me i still go for the old style. courting the girl at home and chivalry is still present when courting a girl. because for me my respect for a girl is high. and that's all i have to say.

uhm... i agree in some part na people from the past do all of that but cguro kahit naman ngaun kailangan ng guy na manligaw din sa girl sa house or maybe depeende nalag sa girl, kasi for me much better naman talaga if my family knows the guy, the guy shud court my family not only me. The diffrence between now and before is dapat ung guy marunong narin maglaba, magluto, maglinis ng bahy in short lahat ng gwaing bahay.. ahahaha, para bang pang asawa material c:
