Blogger Photos

Ayos. Me bagong feature blogger. Pwede ka nang mag-add ng pictures sa mga entries mo without having yo upload it to a third party server (ie. Photobucket). Click nyo lang yung picture icon sa toolbar ng create entry (must be in the 'compose' tab) tabos me lalabas na window where you can browse the photo/s you want to upload. You can even choose how to align it. Hehe. I think per user me limit ng 300mb/month. Check out the FAQ nalang. Testing!

By Simple Plan

I open my eyes
I try to see but I'm blinded by the white light
I can't remember how
I can't remember why
I'm lying here tonight

And I can't stand the pain
And I can't make it go away
No I can't stand the pain

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again

So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't

How could this happen to me
I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

I made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me

Three years ago my journey began
Chasing down this cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse, my racing guide in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start
The moment your eyes made an introduction
I felt my second violent breath of life
Flawless to the point of being godly
Yet I fell hard for your imperfections

And now we’re slightly weathered, we’re slightly worn
Our hands grip together eye to eye through the storm yet
I still believe in ever after with you
Coz life is a pleasure with you by my side
And there ain’t no current in this river we can’t ride
I still believe in ever after with you

Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like we’re floating when the rest have to climb
You made me believe in love and not the perfect kind
A real messy beautiful twisted sunshine
Emotions volcanic eruptions
We both still care so we’re still alive
Tunnel vision, determination
I want you I want to make it right

You are my twisted sunshine

Happy Boitdei!

Heeeeyyyyy Kate happy Birthday!!!!!!

outing na!!!!!!!! yahooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The countdown begins

Five hours to go...

Every little thing(She does is magic)

Though I've tried before to tell her
Of the feelings I have for her in my heart
Every time that I come near her
I just lose my nerve
As I've done from the start

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
It's a big enough umbrella
But it's always me that ends up getting wet

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

I resolve to call her up a thousand times a day
And ask her if she'll marry me in some old fashioned way
But my silent fears have gripped me
Long before I reach the phone
Long before my tongue has tripped me
Must I always be alone?

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing she does is magic
Everything she do just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on

Every little thing
Every little thing

They wanted to go to La luz Resort in Batangas. I bet it'll be fully book though but imma try and contact them tomorrow and see if i'd get to reserve rooms. This weekend I'll be in Laguna so we'll see if I'd be able to use my tourism skills this weekend and try to get us a place to stay next next week.... yahoooooooooo!!! Team Building naaaaa!!!!!

Montell Jordan - Against All Odds Lyrics

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, you
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
Girl we shared the laughter and the pain
We even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

Take a look at me now
There is just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face

Take a look at me now
There is just an empty space
And you're coming back to me is against the odds
That's a chance I've gotta take

I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all


Take a look at me now
There is just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me
Just a memory of your face

Take a look at me now
There is just an empty space
And girl just to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've gotta face

Take a look at me now
Cuz I will still be standing here
You're coming back to me is against the odds
That's a chance I gotta take

Take a look at me now
Coming back to me is against the odds
That's the chance I gotta take

Look at me now, now, now, now, now
I'm so sad, sad, sad, sad, sad
Look at me now, now, now, now, now
Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad
Look at me now, now, now, now, now
No, no, no, no, no
Look at me now, now, now, now, now

Maligayang Kaarawan!!

Maligayang bati sa yong kaarawan katoto!!! :)

What Happens When a Pope Dies?

by Christopher Bellitto

When a pope dies, a formal process begins that certifies his death, carries out his funeral, and ensures that the selection of his successor takes place according to the prescribed procedures. The busiest person during this period is the camerlengo, or papal chamberlain, who functions something like a chief of staff.
The camerlengo's first task is to certify that the pope is dead. Traditionally, this has included tapping the pope's forehead, perhaps with a little silver hammer, and calling him three times by his first name. No response means that the pope is dead, but more precise medical equipment may be used today.
InterregnumThe time between the death of one pope and the election of the next is called the interregnum (Latin for "between the reigns"). The cardinals get to Rome quickly by plane and gather frequently as a college, or group, to follow the instructions of Romano Pontifici Eligendo and Universi Dominici Gregis for arranging the funeral and conclave.
The cardinals proclaim a nine-day period of mourning and burial for the pope. They also oversee the destruction of the pope's ring and seal. These are scratched over and smashed because they are used to seal and authenticate papal documents. Destroying them insures that no documents can be forged after his death. Then the cardinals decide how the pope's body will be available for public viewing, when the funeral will take place, and other details following directions left by the pope in his will. The pope is buried between four and six days after he dies, along with his broken ring, seal, and copies of his most important statements and decisions.
ConclaveThe biggest event of the interregnum is the conclave*, in which the cardinals select the new pope. The rules of succession stipulate that the conclave must be held no less than 15 but no more than 20 days after the pope dies.

Electing a new pope wasn't always so straightforward. For many centuries powerful Roman families bargained so one of their sons or brothers could be pope as well as bishop of their home city of Rome. Wars and rivalries delayed elections. After Clement IV died in November 1268, for nearly three years there was no pope. Finally, civil officials in the Italian city of Viterbo, where the cardinals were meeting, got tired of waiting. They locked the cardinals up in a building, tore the roof off to expose them to the sun and rain, and threatened to feed them only bread and water. Gregory X was elected almost immediately.
Pope Gregory X (1271-1276)--possibly to avoid the turmoil of his own election--stipulated that the cardinals should gather in the city where the pope died. They were to be locked in with a key to avoid outside influence (in Latin, "with a key" is cum clave from which we get the English word conclave). Gregory clearly wanted a swift election.
During the conclave, if eight days passed without an election, the cardinals got only bread, water, and wine.
Some changes have been made. Today, the cardinals elect the new pope in Rome, even if the pope dies elsewhere. But the conclave is still designed to separate the cardinals from all distractions and focus them on the task at hand.

In secretEvery attempt is made to keep the proceedings secret. After the cardinals celebrate a special Mass, they file into the Vatican's Sistine Chapel while the first of several electronic sweeps is made to find audio and/or visual bugs. There are very few people other than the cardinals present. These include two technicians, medical personnel, and some secretarial and liturgical assistants. All of these people take an oath to keep secret what they see and hear forever unless specifically permitted to talk by the pope.
After the search for bugs is complete, the conclave doors are sealed inside and out with keys and ribbons sealed with wax. From this point on, the cardinals are on their own. No one but the cardinals is in the Sistine Chapel for the voting.
VotingAs in the past, two-thirds of the votes are required for election. If the number of cardinals cannot be equally divided into three parts, the vote must be two-thirds plus one.
John Paul II decreed that if three days of voting pass without an election, the cardinals should take a break of up to a full day before resuming their voting. If seven ballots pass fruitlessly, they should pause again. This cycle continues, but if about eight days go by without an election, the cardinals can discuss what to do next, including restricting their votes to the top two vote-getters in the latest ballot.
Voting follows a strict procedure. The cardinals gather twice a day and each session has two ballots. For each session, each cardinal is given two or three rectangular paper ballots on which are printed the Latin words, Eligo in Summum Pontificem (I elect as Supreme Pontiff). He writes in the name of his candidate but disguises his handwriting, then folds the paper twice.
7 Things You Should Know About the Pope
Dr. Christopher Bellitto and Fr. Thomas Bokenkotter answer 7 essential questions about the pope: Where will the next pope come from? Do cardinals campaign to be pope? Learn the answers to these questions and more.
Each cardinal approaches the Sistine altar alone with the ballot held up to be seen. He places the ballot on a plate, often the paten used to hold the hosts for consecration during Mass, which sits on top of a two-foot tall chalice. The cardinal tips the paten into the chalice so that all can see that he has indeed cast his vote. He then says loudly, "I call as my witness Christ the Lord who will be my judge, that my vote is given to the one who before God I think should be elected." He bows to the altar and returns to his place.
After all the ballots have been deposited, the folded ballots are mixed and then counted. If the number of ballots does not equal the number of cardinals, this vote is invalid and another immediately follows. If the number of ballots and electors matches, three cardinals start the tally.
The first two take out a ballot, mark the name down, and pass it along. A third does the same, but he reads the name aloud. This last cardinal passes a thread through the word Eligo on each ballot with a needle so it can't be counted twice and ties all the ballots in a loop. If one candidate does not receive enough votes another vote is immediately taken. If the second vote does not elect a pope, they either break for lunch or quit for the day.
All the ballots, tally sheets, and the cardinals' notes are burned after each session in a little stove just off the Sistine Chapel. One official record of the voting is sealed and deposited in the Vatican archives, to be opened only with the explicit permission of the pope. If no man is elected, the papers are burned and the black smoke travels up a 60-foot pipe to tell the crowd that they are still without a pope. When a man is elected pope, white smoke signals the election. Wet straw used to be mixed with the ballots to create the white smoke, but today a few chemical pellets are added.
The new popeWhen a candidate receives the required number of votes, he is approached and asked in Latin, "Do you accept your canonical election as Supreme Pontiff?" When he says yes, he is asked, "By what name do you wish to be called?" Once he answers, he is the pope.
At this point the new pope is taken to the sacristy of the Sistine Chapel and vested in papal robes which are kept there in several sizes. The new pope then takes a seat at the altar to receive the cardinals' homage and obedience. According to a German cardinal, the first words John Paul I (1978) said after he sat in this chair were, "God will forgive you for what you have done to me."
InstallationThe news spreads quickly after the white smoke signals a new pope. Shortly afterward the announcement is made from a balcony to the crowd gathered in St. Peter's Square: "Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum. Habemus papam!" ("I announce to you a great joy. We have a pope!") The new pope's birth name is then announced, along with the name he has taken as pope. He then appears and gives his blessing.
Shortly afterward, the pope is formally installed. He is not ordained pope, since he has already been ordained as a deacon, a priest, and a bishop. Paul VI (1963-1978) was the last to wear the famous triple crown or tiara, and it appears unlikely this rather worldly symbol will be used again, so the event won't be called a coronation. Both John Paul I and John Paul II chose instead to wear a regular bishop's mitre and the pallium, a special circle of cloth worn around the neck to symbolize the pope's jurisdiction as the chief pastor. Their ceremonies were called installations or inaugurations.

World mourns as pope’s body lies in state

Cardinals and bishops pray by the body of Pope John Paul II in Clementine Hall on Sunday.

VATICAN CITY - Finally at rest after years of debilitating disease, Pope John Paul II’s body lay in state Sunday, his hands clutching a rosary, his pastoral staff under his arm. Millions prayed and wept at services across the globe, as the Vatican prepared for the ritual-filled funeral and conclave that will choose a successor.
Vatican television gave the world its first glimpse of the late pontiff since his last public appearance Wednesday, his body dressed in crimson vestments, his head covered with a white bishop’s miter.
In the Apostolic Palace’s Clementine Hall, two Swiss guards stood at attention on either side of the pope’s body, which was placed in front of a fireplace adorned with the Vatican coat of arms, a crucifix at one side and an ornate candle burning on the other.

Outside, in St. Peter's square, the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, celebrated a Mass for the repose of the pope's soul, calling on the faithful to pray for "our beloved John Paul."

An estimated 100,000 people turned out for the Mass and thousands more — tourists, Romans, young and old — kept coming throughout the day, filling the broad boulevard leading to St. Peter’s Basilica. They clutched rosaries and newspaper photos of the late pontiff as they stood shoulder-to-shoulder in prayer.
“Even if we fear we’ve lost a point of reference, I feel like everybody in this square is united with him in a hug,” said Luca Ghizzardi, a 38-year-old nurse with a sleeping bag and a handmade peace flag at his feet.
Setting date for a funeralThe pontiff’s body was displayed Sunday for officials of the Roman Curia, authorities and the diplomatic corps.

His body will be moved to St. Peter's Basilica on Monday afternoon for public viewing, and Rome was preparing for up to 2 million pilgrims to pay their respects or attend John Paul's funeral.

The city was arranging security measures, as well as thousands of beds, water supplies, medical assistance and bus shuttles. “For us, it will be an extraordinary challenge,” Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni said Sunday.

The exacting timing of the pope's funeral had yet to be decided, but it must be held between Wednesday and Friday. The College of Cardinals was to choose a day on Monday morning in its first gathering before a secret election to be held later this month to choose a new pope.

The Vatican has declined to say whether John Paul left instructions for his funeral or burial. Most popes in recent centuries have asked to be buried in the crypts below St. Peter’s Basilica, but some have suggested the first Polish-born pope might have chosen to be laid to rest in his native country.

John Paul died Saturday evening at 84 after suffering heart and kidney failure following two hospitalizations in as many months.

The Vatican released the pontiff’s official death certificate Sunday, saying he died of septic shock and an irreversible cardio-circulatory collapse and listing the ailments he suffered from, including the official acknowledgment that the pope had Parkinson’s disease.

List of 10 longest-reigning popes

The list of 10 longest-reigning Popes in Catholic reckoning, with one extra listing:
St. Peter (30 to AD 64/67): 34 or 37 years (see notes on St. Peter below)
Bl. Pius IX (1846–1878): 31 years and 7 months (11,560 days).
John Paul II (1978–present): 26 years and 142 days or 9 635 days as of 7 March 2005 – he would pass Pius IX on 9 June 2010 if still reigning as Pope; he would be 90 years old on 18 May, 2010.
Leo XIII (1878–1903): 25 years, 4 months and 29 days (9,280 days).
Pius VI (1775–1799): 24 years and 6 months (8,962 days).
Adrian I (772–795): 23 years and 10 months (8,728 days).
Pius VII (1800–1823): 23 years and 5 months (8,559 days).
Alexander III (1159–1181): 21 years, 11 months, and 2 days (8,001 days).
St. Silvester I (314–335): 21 years and 11 months.
St. Leo I (440–461): 21 years and 1 month.
Urban VIII (1623–1644): 20 years, 11 months, 23 days (7,663 days).

Notes on St. Peter
St. Peter's place in the list is a matter of some dispute.
The length of St. Peter's reign is given by traditional sources, but their accuracy is uncertain. (In particular, two different death years are proposed.) Traditionally, St. Peter spent 25 years in Rome, but his term is reckoned from the time that Catholics consider Jesus to have given St. Peter his office.
Some non-Catholics dispute St. Peter being in this list (and the list of popes) at all, on the grounds that the papacy as we know it now did not exist until some centuries after Jesus' death. They would therefore consider the occupants of slots 2–11 in the list above to be the ten longest-reigning popes.
Catholics, on the other hand, consider St. Peter to necessarily be the first pope by virtue of his commission by Jesus and especially for being the first Bishop of Rome, regardless of whether he was generally known by, or personally claimed, that title. By Catholic understanding, all later popes reign by virtue of their succession to St. Peter in his office.

Pope John Paul II...

The charismatic 84-year-old pontiff,
who led the world's 1 billion Catholics for 26 years,
died at 9:37 p.m. Saturday evening
(7.37 p.m. GMT, 2:37 p.m. ET)
in his private apartment.

How Can You Tell If Someone Is Lying?

by Martha Brockenbrough

Of all the stupid things people can do, lying is right up there with chain saw juggling, potato chip collecting, and nude riverdancing in public places.
Just watch the news any evening, and most of the people featured doing the perp walk to the county courthouse found themselves there because they lied about something. Still, people lie all the time.
A Cornell University professor recently finished a study that counted how frequently 30 of his students lied--about 26 percent of the time, the group learned.
Interestingly enough, the participants lied most often on the phone--37 percent of the time. They lied face to face 27 percent of the time, 21 percent of the time on instant messenger, and 14 percent of the time in e-mail messages.
The moral here: It's easiest to lie when someone isn't looking at us, and isn't going to have a potentially permanent piece of evidence proving our deception.

(The other moral: If you're the parent of a college student, talk with your kids over e-mail, or you might end up sending more "emergency book money" than necessary.)
I'm not in the camp of people who think all lies are bad. Sometimes, when someone asks us, "Do these pants make my butt look big?" it's better to say, "No, not to me," than it is to say the truth, which may well be, "Yes. Absolutely enormous. What were you thinking?"
Since we can't make anyone tell us the truth--and don't always really want to hear it anyway--the next best thing is to be able to determine when someone is lying (and when we should change into something more slimming).

10 American Women Who Changed the World

In honor of Women's History Month, Encarta salutes the following powerful, influential women. These American women played pivotal roles in their respective fields. Without their contributions, the world would not be the same today.

To learn about contemporary counterparts to these great women, see our list of the 10 most powerful American Women.

Sacagawea (1787?-1812)
Her willing participation helped the Lewis and Clark Expedition convey peaceful intentions to people they encountered. Without Sacagawea's linguistic skills, diplomacy, and courage, the expedition could have ended in failure or conflict, causing the westward expansion in the United States to take a different course. The dollar coin minted in her honor correctly indicates that she made the journey to the Pacific with her infant son strapped to her back.

Harriett Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)
Stowe's book, Uncle Tom's Cabin, put a human face on the cruelty of slavery. The book's impact was rapid and incredibly widespread for the time--500,000 copies sold within five years of its 1852 publication. The powerful message helped crystallize the militant antislavery movement and bolster Union resolve in the Civil War.

Susan B. Anthony (1820-1906)
For 50 years, Anthony led the struggle to gain the vote for women. Anthony acknowledged Elizabeth Cady Stanton as the founder of the women's rights movement, but Anthony's achievement lay in her inspiration and perseverance in bringing together vast numbers of people of both sexes around the single goal of the vote. This was achieved after her death, in 1920, when the 19th Amendment granted universal suffrage in the United States.

Mary Cassatt (1844-1926)
Before Cassatt, the art world was essentially closed to women. Cassatt's skill at portraying light, unconventional angles, and informal, natural human gestures gained her acceptance as the only American and the only female artist among the impressionists at their height. Her success as an artist helped clear the way for subsequent generations of female artists.

Gertrude Stein (1874-1946)
Stein enjoyed a successful career as a writer, but she left a deeper imprint on 20th-century culture as a tireless patron, critic, and supporter of modern, experimental art and literature. In her Paris studio she brought together and influenced writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Thornton Wilder and visual artists including Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)
In 1932, Eleanor Roosevelt privately declared, "I never wanted to be a president's wife." Rather than settling into a role she did not like, she rewrote the rules. Her influence over the president's policies was unprecedented, and she helped drive policy concerning women, civil rights, and poverty. After President Roosevelt's death in 1945, she became U.S. representative to the United Nations General Assembly, where she was primary author of the UN's 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003)
Hepburn's portrayals of self-confident, often professional women were both a reflection and a driving force in the changes in gender relations underway in American society. Hepburn dealt with Hollywood on her own terms--appearing as she liked in slacks and no makeup, and not granting interviews or photo shoots--and took home an unequalled four Academy Awards for acting.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias (1911-1956)
An excellent athlete in seemingly every sport she tried, Zaharias won two gold medals in track and field at the 1932 Olympics. She then turned her attention to golf, won every major golf championship at least once, and during one stretch won 17 consecutive tournaments. When cancer cut short her athletic career, she found a new outlet for her strength and drive, becoming an influential advocate for medical research.

Julia Child (1912-2004)
More than any other single figure in history, Child had a direct impact on the way Americans eat. Her disarming personality and boundless delight in good food helped viewers overcome their discomfort with unfamiliar ingredients and exotic dishes. A direct precursor to Martha Stewart and today's celebrity chefs, Child caught the postwar generation's wave of newfound prosperity and, for many, tranformed the simple act of eating from a necessity to a potentially sublime experience.

Rosa Parks (1913- )
With a simple, personal act of defiance--refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man--Parks opened a decisive chapter in the civil rights movement. Her arrest prompted the bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama, and the quiet dignity of her act and demeanor set a high standard for acts of civil disobedience that followed.

What time should we have sex?
When you have sex doesn't really matter. What should matter instead is that you and your partner have sex when you are both comfortable. Some people prefer to make love at the break of dawn, some in the afternoon sun, some in the darkness of night. More important than time of day is the time you have to spend. Give yourself a lot of time to have sex the first time. A weekend is ideal, but at least the whole day, including sleep time.

Should we eat or drink anything before sex?
Avoid eating a heavy meal, since that'll just make you sleepy. Eat light, don't drink too much alcohol, if any at all. It may help you shed inhibitions, but it may also make his erection much more difficult to achieve and you want to spend more time in the bedroom than the bathroom anyway, right?

Where should we have sex?
Where you have sex is probably a more important decision. Finding a place where you both can be private for up to forty-eight hours can be difficult at that age where most people are planning on losing their virginity. But it's worth it. Cars are no longer big enough to have sex in, and the outdoors has less privacy, bugs, sand, and pine needles.
A bed is probably the best thing to make love in, still. Hopefully you'll have a room to yourself, with all the amenities that a bedroom affords, including heat, comfort, space, and the bathroom. Take a shower together! If you're about to have sex, you've probably had your hands all over each other before now. Get to know each other's bodies. Take your time. That's what lovemaking is about.

What do we need to bring?
Bring what you need to make you comfortable. Some form of contraception, (condoms, etc.), maybe your favorite pillow or a bathrobe.

For her:What do I do first?
You can't expect him to know what makes you feel good. You'll have to tell him or show him, and that may mean taking some of the initiative, taking his hands and placing them where they make you feel good. Go slow. If it's his first time, he may well be totally nervous about what you're about to do, and his penis may not respond at first. Patience, gentleness, and understanding are required to bring it back to life, and that may be hard for you to achieve, but that's why we told you to give yourselves lots of time.

Will it hurt?
You have probably heard horror stories about how much losing your virginity hurts. For a few women, it does, but with the right touch and the right partner, you should be able to take his penis into your body without pain. Have him take his time, use a lubricant, and press his fingers into you, opening you up slowly. Tell him when it feels good and when it hurts.

What position should I use?
What position you use depends on many factors. Many women prefer to have sex the first time being on top, where they can control the first entry. Others want to be on the bottom and give their lovers that control. Choose what's best for you. Just remember to tell him to go slow, take your time, and if you feel the need, use a commercial lubricant like KY Jelly.

For him:What if I can't get it up?
It may sound funny, but your penis, which has worked great for years, may suddenly go on strike at your first chance at "real" sex. That's natural -- you're nervous. Take a deep breath. Do something else for a while with your hands, your lips and your tongue. Try to forget about your anxiety, and your penis will respond. It's only a temporary thing.

Should I tell her if I'm a virgin?
Many men think that because they're men, they should be in charge of the sex, regardless of who has the more experience. If you're a virgin and she's not, tell her, and let her lead if she wishes. This is as much a learning experience as a loving one. Don't be afraid to confess the truth. A lot of women would rather know that your fumbling is inexperience, rather than just sheer ineptitude, and will gratefully show you the ways of the world.

Will we come at the same time?
Don't worry about making orgasm simultaneous, either. Some women do not orgasm during intercourse, and even if your girlfriend is capable of climax, the odds are very much against you coming at the same time. Enjoy yourself, and rely on her to tell you the truth when she's enjoying herself.

What if I orgasm too soon?
If you actually climax much too soon before you wanted to, take your time, take a nap, and try again. The second time you should be much more relaxed and ready to take your time -- so will your penis.

Am I big enough? Too big? The right shape?
Another common concern is size. The average penis is slightly more than five and a half inches in length when erect, and that's more than enough to hit every major nerve center in the vagina, the legendary G-spot included. The vagina is capable of stretching to take a large penis, or shape itself to pleasure a small one. Size has very little to do with your ability as a lover.
Another common issue is shape. Some men become concerned because their penis bends downwards, or to the left, and assume that because they never see men like them in erotic movies that they're not normal. Others worry that a downward bend will make sex difficult or painful because the vagina isn't shaped with that bend in mind.
Keep in mind that sex can be performed in any number of positions. The penis and vagina can be matched in many different ways, and each new position can bring new pleasures to you and your partner. Some people believe that a downward-bending penis is much easier to perform oral sex upon.

Will I be a good lover?
Being a good lover doesn't happen automatically. With the right partner, time, care, and practice, you have everything you need to become a great lover. Your first times, for both you, will be fumbling and awkward, but hopefully they'll be the start of great times for the rest of your lives.
