target market ;=)
Another one of my many seeming heartbroken litanies …
I kept on saying that I’m sooo over my ex-BF and it’s true! (Not many people believe me, though … but it’s really really true! ;=) It’s been more than a year since we broke up and my life had changed significantly since! No point really in dwelling on a love gone sour and one too many could-have-beens! … So what brought on a fresh new blog about the very same topic that I’ve tried so hard to avoid for the longest time? Maybe it’s because I am at that point in my life that I think I’m ready for a new relationship but there’s just no one! Zero! Nil! Nada! Not even a pathetic potential! A friend emailed me recently … and I quote, verbatim: ‘There’s a promise of a long-lasting lovelife for me at the moment and I just wanted to break the good news to you’ … that’s nice … promise of a long-lasting lovelife! I like that! Not just the phrase but I want to be able to say that (with conviction!) as well! ;=)
I chanced upon a talk by Bo Sanchez on RPN9 and towards the end of his talk he asked who among the audience is single and he said this: Someone out there wants your unique beauty! You just have to find them … you have to find your target market! ;=) I just finished a trimester of marketing management class and one of the basic marketing principles … is positioning: successful marketing is knowing how you position yourself in your target market! Your product might not be for everyone … so you need to find that unique market out there that will buy your product! Same thing with looking for partners a.k.a. promise of long-lasting lovelife … need to find the target market! ;=) hmmm … in my case, that will mean someone who’s beyond all those physical bulls**t! ;=) (my favorite expression nowadays!) … it will mean someone who will not feel threatened and insecure with what I have accomplished in life so far … it will mean someone who values relationships above all else – be it relationship with God, with family, with friends!
Just like the paradigm shifting experience I had with the ‘he’s just not that into you’ mantra (?), ‘finding your target market’ is another powerful phrase I need to break away from all the drama and frustration that goes with the endless waiting and hoping for a long-lasting lovelife to appear! Yeah, powerful! ;=) Hmmm … there’s just one problem though … ‘find’ is a verb … something that requires action … not a passive I’ll-be-pretty-right-here-come-notice-me … but it’s something that requires real action! Hmmm … that sucks! I actually have to do something to find him? ;=) hehehe
