Closure

"Tell her why. At least give her the chance to have feelings about it. For god’s sake!” – Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy Season 2 Episode 2 Sabi dito ENTJ daw personality ko. Sabi rin "ENTJs desire closure in their lives, wanting to make conclusions about things or people quickly." AWOW! I'm not one to easily believe these online quizzes and tests but I have consistently gotten an ENTJ result the past few years. (I used to be ENFP.) Anyway, the point is... apparently, I need closure. Personality test and diagnosis aside, yes, I am that person. It took me almost five years to get over my first love. And he wasn't even my boyfriend. We just had an on and off thing. I moved on because I got the closure I wanted. We didn't really part ways. Rather, he got himself a girlfriend. And yes, brave old me was calm and collected. I maintained my friendship with the guy. And his girlfriend. HUWOW! That started a pattern in all my relationships which I terribly regret now. So how did I get the closure I wanted? I asked for it. Some four or five years after he got himself a girlfriend,…

Podcast 6: Being Friends with the Ex

This is the podcast where I bash all my exes. NOT! Are you friends with your ex? I am. Find out how I manage to be friends with the cause of the biggest heartbreaks in my life. I talk about being friends, how to be friends, and other subtopics that were asked or suggested by different people. This is my longest and most stressful podcast yet. I wasn't stressed out by the topic but by the editing I had to do. LOL! Listen as I talk about being friends with my exes and how you can maybe also be friends with yours... Apologies for the looong recording. Hope you were able to finish it. Agree? Disagree? Post your comments below. :) Credits to the exes who gave me ammunition for this podcast. :P Thank you to the people who contributed: Ate Joanna, Reissa, Ate Dominique, Poyty, Orman, Jesse, Donna, Steph M, Tiara, Massa P, Rastapopulous, Sparkeh, and anonymous! :) Sound clips from Star Cinema's One More Chance and Phil Collins' Separate Lives.

Podcast 5: Why Geeks Make Good Lovers

Since high school, I have already been surrounded by geeks. Went to a geeky high school. Took up a geeky course in college. Now working with geeky people in a very geeky industry. I do find geeks attractive. Even as a kid, I wanted to meet and date a guy with an IQ higher than mine. And I find smart guys fascinating, engaging, and interesting. I recently blogged that I am attracted to lawyers and engineers because I find them to be smart and geeky enough for me. But what exactly makes geeks good lovers? Do other people also find them attractive? I turned to two blog posts from Awkward Things I Say to Girls and from Wired by Regina Lynn as references to discuss why geeks would make good lovers. (The audio at the start of the podcast is weird for I don't know what reason but it gets better at around 3:00. Apologies.) You may download at this LINK. The topic is courtesy of my high school batchmate, Mae Cabahug, MD with input from a Plurk friend. I hope you found it as interesting as I did. It's a bit longer than my past podcasts though. Reactions, suggestions,…
