I just spent an entire month without any weekends. I covered three DotA Tournaments that one month, and it was stressful as hell. I spent 3 - 4 consecutive days taking down notes, taking photos and videos, and blogging about a single thing. It was exciting at times, but there were definitely more than enough moments of boredom and loneliness. Once or twice, I would ask myself why I'm even doing this. Aside from the fact my cousin paid me to do it, there were nagging questions on my head whether the work was really paying off for me. Then I would remember why I got into DotA in the first place. I enjoy gaming and have fun de-stressing while playing. More than that, playing DotA and hanging with the boys remind me of my high school days. I like hanging out with boys, more than with girls. And it's not because they treat me like a princess. They treat me like one of them, and I like that. The corny and lame jokes, sexually loaded talks, and even the angas boasts, it all reminds me of my high school days, which to me, are some of the best days…
I Like You
See my YM Status message? That's for you. I don't know you well, but I like what I see and know. It might because you're sooo geeky adorable. Or maybe I'm just lonely and desperate. You're not hot. But dammit your glasses are so geeky, they make me want to make out with you. And your smile... that smile is so cute. You are oblivious to the fact that weird girls like me like you. I like that. You don't have any airs, and while you sometimes get caught up with excitement, you always apologize for being rude even if I didn't think you were rude. And goddamit! YOU LIKE MATH! What more can I say, I wanna have your babies. Let's multiply! :D YEYEYE! Integration of You + Me = geeky babies! One unassuming smile from you can make my day. But since you're far, I look at your photos. Not the entire day, I'm busy noh! But yeah, I steal time to look at you, your intense look when pressured, and your smile when you're happy. And know what, I'll be better than your ex. :P You're such a geek, you won't probably know this is about you.…

Boobage
The past two nights, I had dinners with my two sets of relatives. Both times, my boobies were one (or two) of the topics of discussion. Monday night I had dinner with my maternal relatives: Aunt: Breastfeeding is hard and sometimes painful. Cousin: Yes. Your boobs become bigger and it sometimes becomes as hard and heavy as cement. Cousin: Sometimes the milk spurts out. Aunt: NAKU! Ria, you will have a hard time. Your boobs are sooo big, it will become even bigger. Cousin: YES! Aunt: It will get really big, and hard and painful. Tuesday night with the paternal relatives: Cousin 1: Your pictures online show too much cleavage! Cousin 2: Yes. Cousin 3 (who is abroad) keeps on buzzing me on YM coz of those photos. Ria: WHICH PHOTOS?! Cousin 1: All of it. On Multiply, Friendster and your blogs. Cousin 2: Puro ka cleavage! (You're all cleavage!) BOOBS! BOOBS! BOOBS! And last week: Guy Friend: Ate Ria, I think you lost weight. Ria: Really? Guy Friend: Your face is smaller. But your boobs are still big. Another: Ria: Are my boobs really that big? Guy Friends: YES! Ria: Even if I'm fat, it's noticeable? Guy Friends: YES!…

Me Going to Manila
I will be flying to Manila next week. YEY!!! But it's mostly going to be work, work, work. I wil be managing Team Nomets of Davao during the Asian Cyber Games. I will also be covering the event. We will be at the Mall of Asia for four (COUNT THEM... 1, 2, 3, 4) straight days just basically around boys... only a handful of them cute, interesting, and single. Well, probably, none of them are. I will also be spending time with a client and his employee, training them for Marketing and basic work and office ethics and practices. I might also meet up with some of my blogger friends and my cousins. YEY!!! :D It's gonna be a stressful, productive, and hopefully fun working vacation. ;)
