To The Guy Who Got Me So Confused

Dear You, You know who you are but I'm quite sure you don't read my blog so whatever. ;) First off, wag mo masyadong i-feel ang moment, ok? Haha! I'd like you to know I'm so frustrated by the entire situation but I'm thankful you finally had the guts to be honest. When you first approached me, it was obvious you liked me. You never denied it. I wasn't really into you but you seemed like you were a nice guy. And even my guy friends told me you seemed sincere. I told you I wasn't ready for a commitment or anything serious. And I meant it. I don't regret telling you that. And yet you tried to win me over. A for effort! Actually, A plus kung tutuusin. Bilib pati mga tao sa paligid ko. Wala pang lalakeng nag-effort ng ganun ka bongga. You didn't do anything grand or extra special but you were there. A constant presence (so to speak) in my life. Just when I was about to change my mind and let you into my life, the tides changed. The calls became fewer and the conversations started getting colder. You admit that your ex, the one…

Wanted: Lawyer, Engineer, or Basketball Player

If you have been reading this blog, listening to my podcasts, and following me in micro blogs and SNS, you probably know a lot about me already. I am single. Not actively seeking for a boyfriend, but hoping for a new adventure. I am not looking for anybody specific, but somebody I can spend days and night conversing with. Somebody interesting and willing to do stuff together, go to new places, experience new things. Somebody who will encourage and inspire me to do better. Somebody I can nurture and take care of. Three years ago, I wrote a list of qualifications for the guy(s) I would date or be in a relationship with. Back then I have not had any boyfriends or ex-es, only almost and not quite relationships. Some of those items in the list have changed, some remain true til this day. Right now, I have a special place in my heart for guys in these three professions: lawyers, engineers, and basketball players. Lawyers are usually great speakers and decent writers who are interested (or at least obliged to know about) current events and the news. If find these guys intellectually stimulating and very challenging and interesting to…

Miss Statement

Dahil ako na... ang mahilig mag-emote and mag-drama with my boys, boylets, exes, and other eklavu. At dahil gusto kong talbugan sina Catherine, Scarlet, Isadora, at ang bonggang-bonggang sina Madam Claudia Buenavista at Amor Powers, here are some of the lines I have uttered IN REAL LIFE in the recent past... Boy: I'm sorry, I can't take this kind of drama. Ria: I hope you won't regret letting me go. Ria: What do you want? Do you want me turn back time so you'd meet me first? Because I would if I could. Boy: I'm really sorry. Ria: Madali lang naman akong kausap. You don't want me enough? I'll move on the next guy. Boy: Good night! Ria: Is it presumptuous to think you like me? Coz I know you do. Boy:... Boy: I'm turned off by aggressive girls. Ria: Sorry naman. Pinanganak akong ganito. I can't let things happen to me, I make them happen. Ria: I know you like me. Break up with your girlfriend and I'll instantly be your girlfriend. Boy: I'm sorry I can't let her go. Ria: You want to continue dating her? Ok. You can have her, but I'll also have my other boys.…

Moving Forward

A lot has been said and a lot has happened since. This is really it, yes? We're moving on. And I'm taking it easy. There will be better days than today, that I am quite sure. I'm finding it hard to smile and laugh and be ok. But I will be happy. I have done everything possible to make it work. And that is enough to make me happy. I will be happy. (I'll keep saying that til it becomes true. LOL!) At the very least, I have learned a lot from this. For one, I know I can love... sincerely. It's the being loved in return I have to learn or earn. There is still a part of me that's insecure with who I am, what my value is, and what I deserve. That I am learning. As we went through the motions of what happened, I kept questioning, as I still do, if I deserve to be happy or to be sad. Do I deserve to be hurt? Am I good enough? Am I enough? But I realize, I didn't work hard to be where I am, to be who I am, to be this goddamn hot and…

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.…

Dieting For Vanity's Sake

Yeah, yeah, yeah... been starving myself since the other day. Tuesday I didn't eat ANYTHING for dinner except some crackers and two pieces of oatmeal cookies. Today I ate tocino and a quarter cup of rice for lunch, luglug for dinner (at 5 pm!), and some slices of wheat bread. WHY YOU ASK?! Because I'm vain! I'm dieting so I could but new clothes and fit them well. And yeah, I think it's time to find a new boy. And boys nowadays are pretty much attracted to the thin types... so yeah, I'm dieting for them too. I am LOL'ing at myself now coz I know that clothes and boys won't really make me a better person, or happier. But yeah, I'm dieting coz I want them boys and clothes. :P I have resolved, however, not to starve myself. Rather, I'll eat but eat only healthy food and lessen consumption of indulgences such as chocolate, desserts, coffee, and chichirya. So here's to me trying to lose weight yet again... and this time it's for clothes and boys!
